In addition to the series on love (of which this is a sort of an extension), I’ve also been doing some reading / discussing / dwelling on this idea of what makes community.

And I guess, like love and a lot of other things, I have some ephemereal ideas, but not really a good solid foundation. In other words, it’s kind of up there, where I can start to think about it and focus in on what it means, but it isn’t - yet - substantial. I don’t know yet how to practice community nor how to practice - at least not at all times.

Which is not a bad thing, mind you. That’s how I operate. I need to remove myself from the situations I am in and begin to think of things tangentially. It is only afterwards, after I spend some time thinking on such things, that I can imagine myself doing those things. And then I can.

Because, after all, I’m a bit of a hot-head. And we hh’s don’t tend to operate too well on a plenary level.
