A/S/L?

Life is absolutely crazy. So recently I've been on this community kick, just keeping my ears and eyes open and bringing it up in every conversation I have. What is community? How can we have it? We need to DO something about all the people being shoved off to the wayside of life!

I've been interested in creating community because I believe it is a lack of good community that is directly contributing to our current social state - which is in dire straits. Children are raised by television sets because their parents are working, our elderly are put away to be kept there until they die, its just out of control the amount of pain being perpetuated by our current situation.

Then yesterday this opportunity comes up that offers a chance to live in within a group of people who are concerned about being intentionally communal. I mean this is just absolutely mind-blowing. What is really amazing is that if it pans out, it would satisfy so many long-held desires of mine all at once, while just creating an amazing atmosphere to step into the next stages of life from.

Needless to say, I am pumped.
