From Michelle

What is authentic community for me? It is the fullness of life. It is perseverance when facing the discomfort of home truths. It is the ability to shake off misunderstandings and laugh at our foibles. It is politics, messes, sicknesses, and all the other magnificent stuff that makes us human. It is living closely and authentically with others and all the battering that this implies. It is the road to real love and the road to becoming real. It is a gift to us and it is beautiful. As beautiful as an innocent man carrying a cross on which he will be nailed for the love of all.
