WELCOME What is Community? Is it a place where two roads cross accidentally in the middle of nowhere? And the paths of travelers traveling on those roads tending to different directions...meet and decide to stay the night...share conversation and a glass. And in the early morning mist they look around and see through fresh eyes the possibilities of their new ‘place’. Or......is it where the ‘two roads diverged’ and the traveler facing a choice of either following one path or the other decides to stop and ponder the possibilities of what lies ahead? And possibly facing the impossible task of moving forward decides to move forward ‘right there’. Or....is community just a place where I go to see a friendly face, share the common bond of places and take my wares to share, knowing that I have more than enough! Yes I think that’s it. That... community is a place I go to be enriched, to share my talents, to lend a hand to my fellow travelers, and possibly create something that existed in the commonality of our humanity but makes us better for stopping there...
