“A strong community helps people develop a sense of true self, for only in community can the self exercise and fulfill its nature: giving and taking, listening and speaking, being and doing. But when community unravels and we lose touch with one another, the self atrophies and we lose touch with ourselves as well.”
–Parker Palmer, A Hidden Wholeness: The Journey Toward an Undivided Life (Jossey-Bass, 2004)
