Community is renew

Where there are

faults and blame,

there is fertile ground.

Where there is pain,

there is need for inquiry.

Those who

have actively withdrawn,

can now earnestly reinvest.

Everyone

is this life experiment

and richly endowed.

There is sharing

that gives space

for personal reclaims.

Hope flourishes

as a shared discovery

and communing of response.

Finds from disappointments

are as impetus

for rekindling the light.

Working the paradoxes

from within their richness,

provides a closeness

as a means of connection.

Methods of intimacy

that regain self-love

open to candidness

as exemplary

in new directions,

to find the voice

in everyone

that speaks for the whole.

Sincere expression

that lends itself

to community spirit

efforts towards consciousness

by inclusion.

A community re-gathers

from their humanness.

Helping others

is helping oneself.

Through community,

there is renew . . .
