Having a child really makes this one easier. I no longer want unhealthy relationships, for example. I no longer want to punish myself for past mistakes or shortcomings. I no longer want to identify with past mistakes or shortcomings. I want to be an inspiring role model to my son.
I still do want ice cream and chocolate and sugar and fast energy and instant gratification a lot though. Will have to keep working on those.
Rowan and I are living part-time at Heathcote intentional community and absorbing what we can about life in [close] community. Through the members and activities I am being exposed to various other organizations and techniques for building community ties and skills, and am practicing them with this community and guests.
This participation, I feel, already is a contribution to the restoration of community as a central value in our society, and the learning will also enable me to apply what I learn in other niches of society as I interact with them.
