For the past couple of months, I have been involved in storytelling events, and I'm striving to improve. I am also seeking meaningful work and defining the impact I want to have in the org/company and community in which I work, all while quietly creating something to support those things in the background. I was accepted to a storytelling event on December 18th, and the theme is Beloved Community, so I have been pondering my personal meanings and definitions of community, especially outside of the cafe I built over 20 years, where I built a strong understanding of it for myself. All of that is leading to my most recent iteration of what Community means to me: I believe community is something intentionally practiced, shaped, and held. It requires people willing to take responsibility for the conditions that allow others to belong, especially when doing so is inconvenient or uncomfortable. This is intertwined with true hospitality, not as a transaction, rather as an ethical stance and a way of being in the world. This value is lived through restraint, leaving space for each person to grow at their own pace; through courage, the willingness to remain present through discomfort; and through discernment, knowing the difference between what is authentic and what is superficial. Community of this kind does not happen by accident or emerge from goodwill alone. It is the work of staying present without controlling, of holding dignity without rescuing, and of choosing relationship and connection over convenience. Some questions to ponder: Do you have strong thoughts and feelings around the meaning of community? Are you one who takes responsibility for the conditions? Have you been more comfortable appreciating the belonging aspect? Are you seeking community? Do you feel like you have a strong community? ................. You don't have to answer all of these, or even answer them here. I just find these to be great prompts for thinking, meditating, writing, conversing, and sharing.
