These are the words of fear. Unfortunately they are also the words of a demagogue, seeking to play upon the fears of others. That there is danger is clear, but an infinitely greater danger is that we sacrifice our essential humanity to our fear. Sealing our borders, closing our doors and windows... we close our space. And while it may appear safer, that is an allusion. Life cannot be lived without space to live in.

It is a wonder. But the beauty of this community is not an inherent gift, I believe. Rather it is the reflection of what we do. Opening Space. Opening space is not magic. We did not invent it. It is not even complicated. At root level it is simply inviting people to be fully who and what they are, to greet each other and to enjoy the space. We can do it. We can invite others to do it.
