So true. That is why I am always grateful for ceremony, gatherings, good ol' potluck and fires or just about any excuse to get together. Time to be with our tribes...however that looks. Connected by heart, grounded by ritual, steeped in respect, or just simply nourished by a sense of belonging.

In the spirit of community,
