In the beginning...

This will be a blog about me and my work, especially what I do to help people create and recreate "community."  Community exists when people who are interdependent struggle with the traditions that bind them and the interests that separate them in order to inherit a desirable future.  I believe "community" is a process.  It is not an "end state."  No place ever fully arrives at community, but the people who live there will be happiest if they continue to struggle to achieve it.  My work is to help them in that struggle.
