CREATING WHAT I KNOW ABOUT COMMUNITY

By Brian Smith


The title above is linked to an article by Judith Snow - pictured to the left - that I really enjoy. I read this sometime ago, but came across it again recently and thought that I should include it in this site.

Here's a quote to entice you to read the whole thing at the link above:

"Dreams are threads of meaning and insight that run throughout the daily life and fabric of everyone's individual life. In fact dreams in some way seem to be part of the very structure of our life, being part of the very impulse that gives purpose, meaning and shape to living. But dreams are not confined only to the individual's experience. They are part of the glue that brings us together as social beings. Dreams form a basis of the impulses that cause and allow us to find purpose and fulfillment in relating to each other. When we dream we are dreaming about something essential to ourselves and also significant to others in our lives, others that may not actually come into our lives for days or years to come. So dreams are not a phenomenon of the moment but communicate, preserve and carry a form of living energy across people and time."
