If you sleep,
Desire grows in you
Like a vine in the forest.
Like a monkey in the forest
You jump from tree to tree,
Never finding the fruit -
From life to life,
Never finding peace.

-Buddha

We have to be willing to get vulnerable if we want our true community to reveal itself. Until we are open ourselves, life will not open to us. We may think we're waiting for something out there, but really we are anticipating our own arrival.
