Eight Decades of Community Witness

I have come to see that life is a matter of perception. There are so many victims in this world, held down by the weight of their expectations. But everyone has an opportunity to contribute to something more than outrage.

Communities are complex and need many things. We can all contribute to that if we seek creative ways to make things better. But that is the real skill of life, isn't it? We can all point out the faults in what others have built in our communities, but how many of us are willing to pick up the sod and carry the bricks to shape something new?
