Hello Lovely Peeps!
Have been thinking a lot about #community lately; all the definitions of all the permutations - from looking out for our next door neighbour to our #responsibilities as global citizens.
For better or for worse, we are bound to each other & each little thing we do (or don't do) will eventually affect us all.
“We are each other's harvest;
we are each other's business;
we are each other's magnitude and bond.”
~ #GwendolynBrooks, from her #poem '#PaulRobeson'
