Community
I had the pleasure of growing up in a rural community …
My father was born there … he knew absolutely everyone and had known them for a lifetime…
When I read my hometown paper, I am still making connections … Connecting long-ago familiar names … almost always now … in the obituaries …
America has lost much with the advent of our mobile society … our near total reliance on data networks to connect us …
We have lost the intimacy and permanency of physical community … and that is sad indeed!
