What Do YOU Bring to the ZONE?

Forums:

Me? A tireless love of creativity, connection and community, especially this one.

This article, sent to me by a Zoner, really speaks to me: Thirteen Ways of Looking at Community

Verbalizing voids in my memory

I bring my sincerity, love for music and general belief in the greatness of man.

The space between my thoughts...

And doughnuts on Friday

Good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. 

Deviled eggs

I bring my gifts to thee a rump a pum, pum.  

A multi decade run of dead shows....but was blessed by so many Jerry shows in hindsight....east coast love

I saw phish a few times

brutal honesty and scathing critism 

Hoover watched Charlie Brown tonight.

(so did I )

 

I bring sincerity , a sense of history, and a willingness to haul gear.

 

Who are the Grateful Dead and why do they......

JUDGMENT

I bring bewilderment.

wizardry, gong hits, slayer of dragons etc.

An appreciation of the music typically discussed here even if I haven't heard it yet.

not much, i'm tier 4

Good article Judit, this one stood out to me...

 But we will never walk through that gate if we cling to a romantic image of community as the Garden of Eden. After the first flush of romance, community is less like a garden and more like a crucible. One stays in the crucible only if one is committed to being refined by fire. If we seek community merely in order to be happy, the seeking will end at the gate. If we want community in order to confront the unhappiness we carry within ourselves, the experiment may go on, and happiness—or, better, a sense of at-homeness—may be its paradoxical outcome.



~ As for me,  I hope to bring a positive energy that has been put upon me thru lessons learned in past, and to stay grateful to still be able to go see live music ((( Heart Smiling ))).

Confusion and virtual herbs

Videos, snapshots, show reviews, facts, knowledge, experience, appreciation and joy!

Once in a while - criticism - and liberal political opinions.....

Kindness and love for all of you people.

I guess in retrospect; many reflections of the music we share.

Old Thinking New Thinking
Community is a goal. Community is a gift.
We achieve community through desire, design and determination. We receive community by cultivating a capacity for connectedness.
Community requires a feeling of intimacy. Community does not depend on intimacy and must expand to embrace strangers, even enemies, as well as friends.
Community is a romantic Garden of Eden. Community that can withstand hard times and conflict can help us become not just happy but “at home.”
Leadership is not needed in communities. Leadership and the authority to lead toward community can emerge from anyone in an organization.
Suffering is bad and should be avoided. Suffering lets our “hearts break open” enough to hold both a vision of hope and the reality of resistance without tightening like a fist.
 

Isn't that something, aiq? Thanks for making the table - formatting, thinking, spirit, etc.

The table was already made, can't take credit. 

I hadn't read the article in a while, had forgotten about the table.

Hopefully, some good music and occasionally advice and comments, based on first hand experience.
Take what you need and leave the rest.

i bring misfit power!

Good question.

Lots of stuff I'm fascinated with that no one else gives a flying fuck about:
