Indeed, in succumbing to our most primitive yearnings for the hollow illusion of safety, we have sacrificed all the things in our lives actually worth protecting … In striving to live a “long & healthy” life, we have destroyed the quality of that living. AND YET, all is not lost. We need not succumb to the shadows of distrust and despair. There is a freedom within us all that, without our consent, cannot ever be lessened or removed. This is the Freedom of Community, and this is the freedom that I wish for you all with my sixth “last breath”. And by “Community-building” I do not mean merely helping those who think or believe or act like you do, and I do not mean merely helping in times when it is convenient. I mean reaching out to everyone you encounter in every moment you encounter them … I mean purposefully & consciously making your Community your number one priority – and including everyone in your neighborhood in that re-Union … I mean expanding your own Circle of Compassion to include every single sentient being that lives within a mile (or two, or three) of your own home, and I mean doing so actively, in one form or another, every single day of your lives. 20
