Focus

Thanks to Blair, Ellen, and Drew for what they have written. I am new to blogging, and so if this gets posted it will be a miracle in itself.

I agree that there has to be a tight focus and organization to make a commune work, but I think that can be almost secondary as long as there is strong commitment to the cause that holds the commune together, whether that focus be house-building, education, or health care (hospice, etc.) Once everyone shares the common action and a common faith, I think the lifestyle issues become easier. I am not sure about the height of the grass, but certainly simple eating works!

I know that I want to make this kind of commitment. I only hope it is not too late for me.

So, I hope we can be concrete and real about it. No pipe dreams.

Thanks to you all.
