What does your ideal community look like? How is it organized, and how is community life structured? What values does the community share?
I am a part of many communities. Each one is similar but different. Although their purposes vary, their interchangeable themes and values can be described in the following acrostic poem.
Communication, caring and creativity
Openess, opinions and observations
Managing problems together
Mindful of other people’s boundaries
Understanding and respect
Nurture and nature
Individualism and independence encouraged
Team approach
Yesterday, today and tomorrow—the building blocks of our relationships
