My
challenge to every staff member I have ever worked with
was to say hello to everyone.
Say
hello to people you know,
say hello to people you don’t know.
Sometimes
it can’t be a full hello because it is 100 yards away but there can be a smile
and a wave.
Nothing delights me more than when I see someone in a town
centre and they give me a little
wave and a little glimmer of unique eye contact.
I
love it.
All
this can build community.
All of us can build on a short conversation which
will become a longer conversation that can aid the building of community.
Community
means::
"in communion with each other".
When
we are in communion with each other
*
we open like a flower to the sun
*
we become vulnerable
*
we reveal or needs
*
we reveal our weaknesses
* we care
* we share
This
brings us into a "one-ness".
This brings us into a sense of
"belonging".

Build buildings

Build community

Build people
