Butting heads and shaking hands
Sharing
opinions and arguing opinions and adopting opinions
Meeting
for hours and joking more than you plan
Throwing
words and throwing rocks and throwing chocolate
Community is….
Opening
the fridge to find that your lunch has been eaten by someone else
Digging
in a mountain of laundry for your favorite shirt that’s been missing for a
month.
Telling the same piece of
information 15 times to 15 people.
Searching
unsuccessfully for a place to have a private phone call.
Community is….
Riding
down the street yelling from bike to bike to moto
Staring
at happy chalkboard messages and wondering who wrote them for you
Cooking dinner and letting someone
else do the dishes
Being so
sick you want to sleep all day and so annoyed cuz everyone wants to check
on you
Community is….
Sharing
laptops and sharing movies and sharing cell phones
Having
a friend always available for a walk or a ride
Doing
headcounts in the middle of the night to see if it’s OK to lock the gate
Asking for help and getting it
Community is…
Popping
into the room to spend your 10 minute break with people who make you smile
Riding
out to hunt for your missing roommate
Sacrificing
sleep to sit up and talk with someone who needs to talk
Recognizing
your friend by the distinct sound of his flipflops on the concrete
Community is…
Hurting
someone’s feelings and hearing a million rumors before reconciliation happens
Walking
into a room and interrupting a serious conversation
Forgetting
to ask your roommate how her day was
Letting
your friend down and hoping that you will be forgiven
Community is…
Rejoicing
their successes as much as your own.
Knowing
and being known and seeking to know better
Bearing
one another’s burdens and crying one another’s tears
