About the Author: Janice Robinson
Here in our own gathering, in this place, for the past two days, there is a growing sense of good will. There is a sense of wanting to be here, to remain here, feeling good about being here, at least good enough to not want to get on the next plane flying out in the next five minutes. A sense of participation and, to that extent, a sense of buying into what's happening, or at least participating in it. On some level there's a community that's begun to gather. Here we are beginning a journey together. Whether the journey will continue beyond this point, or end we don't know, but at least we begin together. It seems to me that underlying all of that is the sense of a desire for connection, connecting, rather than orbiting as little individuals scattered through lots of space.
