I need from dream fueling and illusion puncturing

A book I'm looking forward to getting when I get home is Culture Making: Recovering our Creative Calling , by Andy Crouch.


Here is Crouch's summary paragraph:

So do you want to make culture? Find a community, a small group who can lovingly fuel your dreams and puncture your illusions. Find friends and form a family who are willing to see grace at work in another's lives, who can discern together which gifts and which crosses each has been called to bear. Find people who have a holy respect for power and a holy willingness to spend their power alongside the powerless. Find some partners in the wild and wonderful world beyond church doors. 263

Amen. Thoughts on Kenya? I can get us 4 acres for less than $5000. I'm deadly serious. Think maasia, open land, lots of safety, 1 hour from Nairobi. Find me the money and I'll have it by the end of the year. Peace.

Vonnegut quote (from Playboy interview 1973)

"I couldn't survive my own pessimism if I didn't have some kind of sunny little dream. ... Human beings will be happier — not when they cure cancer or get to Mars or eliminate racial prejudice or flush Lake Erie — but when they find ways to inhabit primitive communities again. That’s my utopia. That's what I want for me"
