How To Build Community

[nurturetruth]

JUST for TODAY, let us Co-Exist, and live in unison.

Let us act as brothers and sisters and out of LOVE.
Let war of hate, indifference, mis-understanding, racism and everything else that keeps us apart, let our difference bind us.

Treat someone you wouldn't normally treat with respect, give them the kindness you would wish to receive. Learn to listen. For Knowledge may speak...but WISDOM listens....so...
Listen before reacting with anger; learn new styles of communicating feeligns/needs, mediate a conflict, seek to understand the self; Learn from NEW and UNCOMFORTABLE angles...and know many are not silent...even if they are NOT heard.

Don't turn your head away from things that trouble you. Look, and dig deep into the garden of the soul...taking responsibility for our feelings, re-actions/actions, and Universal Needs.
Just for today hug or smile a stranger and expect nothing in return.
Just for today love all mankind, the planet we live on and above all ....LOVE YOURSELF and the NOW! even love your mistakes..for they are our teachers!
Respect yourself, hug yourself, say you are worth it if just for today!

Let us all coexist! Many Blessings!

but some of us are introverts and some of us are extroverts
will there be room for us all?



Turn off your TV.
Leave your house.
Know your neighbors;
Look up when you are walking; Greet people;
Sit on your stoop; Plant flowers;
Use your library;
Play together;
Buy from local merchants; Share what you have;
Help a lost dog;
Take children to the park;
Garden together;
Support neighborhood schools;
Fix it even if you didn't break it;
Have pot lucks;
Honor elders;
Pick up litter;
Read storeis aloud;
Dance in the street;
Talk to the mail carrier;
Listen to the birds;
Put up a swing;
Help carry something heavy;
Barter for your goods;
Start a tradition;
Ask a question;
Hire young people for odd jobs;
Organize a block party;
Bake extra and share;
Ask for help when you need it;
Open your shades;
Sing together; Share your skills; Turn up the music; Turn down the music;

Listen before you react to anger; Mediate a conflict; Seek to understand; Learn from new and uncomfortable angles; Know that no one is silent athough many are not heard
