In late June, Vin and I went away for a couple of days. People do that all the time, who cares? Well, we do, because...well, you'll see.
A community *has* history, but our relationships build and bond in *making* history. And that happens when we invest in and attend to each other, so we have the margin to attend to the world around us.
Those of us who tend toward stillness need to move around a little to go wide, and those who tend toward restlessness need the margin to be still, and go deep.
And we need friends who see things differently, who see us differently than we see ourselves, who validate things that we pooh-pooh, who recognize needs (and wants!) that we would put off or deny ourselves.

making history
Since it’s summertime, showers and baths around here – for the boys, at least – have mostly been replaced with garden hoses, water fights, and the kiddie pool. But we finally put our foot (feet?) down, and told the boys they needed to actually get in a real bathing facility to scrub their hair.
