Living in Community

Its hard to make them out in this photo but near the bottom of the image is a bag of biscuits, warm, freshly baked Angel Yeast biscuits to be exact, left inside our door one morning by our neighbor Doc Sigmund. Another morning, we found a pone of cornbread (baked with black walnuts) from our neighbor Arnold. He grows the corn and grinds it into the white, fine meal that becomes the main ingredient of his bread.

I think this ‘giving‘ is one powerful (and delicious) way to weave the ties that bind a community or neighborhood together.

Preserving the soul means preserving a desire to live a life

a man or woman can truly call their own.
