i wonder what intentional communities really look like. how they started, what they've become, or what they'll be in 20 years. how does this influence the world we live in? how does it make it a better place? am i really supposed to do this? i feel like i am, but there are so many things that deter me from this dream. and with that, am i supposed to stay in the united states? i don't know that i want to. i could go to india, or eastern central africa, or eastern europe, or a remote island with happy people who never argue and who get along famously...
or i could sit here on my duff and not do anything.
i'll figure it out later. i've got to go to work. in l.a. on skid row, with these kids i'm learning to enjoy a lot more than i think they enjoy me. i hope we can find a mutual respect for one another as we live together for this short time...
maybe that's what community is.

i like the new color of your blog.
and yeah, man, community. where to find it? where to acquire it? how to see it in the places you already are? it's tough.
also, i think you are neat.
Hey you. I found this cuz I was looking at blogs and the title "roots seeking water" was charming and pretty! Are you working at Union Rescue Mission? Or was it Say Yes? I can't remember.
Anyway, to relate to you: I just finished a video shoot at URM, we're doing some new things for their website where I work (here's their sneak peak website www.urmblog.org/media) but Matt's working for Say Yes! Except he's been waiting to connect with their Pasadena oufit for the last month... oh well. I hope I see you on El Molino sometime- I'm there often. =D
