Is it enough to be nice - or is it more complicated than that? Perhaps, all we have is our common humanity. We need to work on this, consciously and deliberately; belonging to place, finding good and building community based on an unconditionality. Born out of serious illness and inspired by E.M.

It is a journey of an essential growing up, of human maturity, of building a whole that is worthwhile. But we find no pain, no gain. We must travel together, but the greater tragedy is not to journey at all.
