Reciprocity: Community: Togetherness
I'm going to come out and say it. I think people are stuck in a self focused mirror- we are fixated on how other people are annoying, not healed enough, talk too much, don't do this or that "correctly", that we have missed the whole point.
Humans have evolved as a communal species. We relied (and still do even though we forgot) on each other for hunting, gathering, shelter making, medicine, childcare and more.
We need one another to regulate our nervous systems, take care of each other's kids, make meals, garden and more.
Research shows that when all of us are well, we all do better- even those with affluence!
When is the last time you brought someone who was sick in your community a jar a of soup?
When was the last time you offered to watch someone's kids for them- without asking for money?!
When is the last time you gathered outside of a paid circle?
The self obsession must end.
We need each other now more than ever. Make a move to connect. I promise you will receive more than you give.
