Maui Permaculture Network
How does one keep from “growing old inside?” Surely only in community. The only way to make friends with time is to stay friends with people. Taking community seriously not only gives us the companionship we need, it also relieves us of the notion that we are indispensable.
~ Robert McAfee Brown
