From  Pronoia -- How the Whole World is Conspiring to Shower You With Blessings by Rob Brezsny, page 236:

Good Greetings All,

I define Community Heart-Space as the energy field that we as a tribe create when we show up in the World both mindfully and heartfully. I know when I am in it because it feels deeply good to be there.

Dear TT members:

Even if you've never considered living in a cohousing community, it's worth taking a look at this uplifting article by Chuck Durrett about why he likes Cohousing, just to know that even in these tough times there are people actually experiencing a wonderful and rewarding life style.

Found a really interesting article on Cuba in The Globalist. http://www.theglobalist.com/storyid.aspx?StoryId=6782 This is the kind of discussion we need to be having in this country. Everything I'm reading suggests stocking up on staples. Even the Wall Street Journal has published an article recommending people hoard food. http://rense.com/general81/pantry.htm

The last several years have been an extraordinary time in my life. Some events and some of the people I've met have been simply amazing. And it's been accelerating for at least the last two years. I was finding my footing by the time I found the Transformation Course, and don't think it's any coincidence that it came into my life when it did.

The Sandpiper
by Robert Peterson

She was six years old when I first met her on the beach near where I live.
I drive to this beach, a distance of three or four miles, whenever the world

begins to close in on me. She was building a sand castle or something
and looked up, her eyes as blue as the sea.

'Hello,' she said.

I've just been browsing through member's pictures. Recently we had a wonderful group of women join us, and in the last week or so a great group of men. I'm loving the gallery we share. I'm a visual guy; I used to paint portraits. What a group we are!

As this community grows, I am in wonder at the multitude of personalities and views that are emerging. This experience is like being present at the founding of a village, and then watching as it grows into a town. For a while I thought I was going to be left behind, as I am neither as smart nor as deep as many of the folks who post their wisdom.
