“It’s very important to know the neighbour next door and the person down the street and the people in another race.” Maya Angelou
Unlocking How to navigate this hermetic cul-de-sac, unitary cells of teflon, the loneliness of locked doors, alienated minus-community hungry for real connection, desiring wholeness, mutuality, to be understood, having purpose without bond, giving and receiving, a storied adventure, taking patient time, unlocking our fears, opening the elements of our lives, living the commons, connecting, changing, whole. ©Paul Vincent Cannon

Powerful and moving piece. We all share a in humanity a connection that runs deep to our core if we’re willing to look past the differences that make us unique and special. We should be celebrating each other and building each other up, not tearing each other down. ❤️

I do believe that it’s possible to have a real connection to other people while being physically separated from them. It’s hard, but there is evidence all around of people who have been able to achieve it.

Many thanks Camile, that is very thoughtful indeed, and much appreciated. Somehow this ended in my spam folder, not sure how that ever happens but it seems quite regular. Glad I found this. I’m under the pump so to speak so if I don’t get to complete the tasks associated, please don’t be offended, but know that I really do appreciate the nomination.

Very powerful and so hard to do, to open up to neighbours, and those who seem different.

Connections and community – these have become more important now.. We need them more… To keep our sanity, we need human connections and exchanging of thoughts, dreams and our daily nothings too.
