An ice cream cone is a pointy bowl made out of crispy cookie dough, and everyone of any sense condemns the way that ice cream overtops the rim. We can mitigate this travesty, of course, by passing round our treat to all the crowd so everybody gets a lick. And when, or if, the cone comes back, unappetising as it seems in my benighted state, I still can take some satisfaction since a system is at fault.

I can sooooo relate to the beauty of living/walking a simpler path thanks to a nomadic life.

Thank you for talking about the importance of connection and community. Both are needed very much in today’s world.

We were just talking at dinner tonight about how humans need a community to survive. Isolating ourselves from others cuts off our basic needs.

For myself, I need to work on my endless scrolling in the middle of the night. It's making me lose sleep and takes up too much time.

Yes. I, too, believe the future of humanity is largely predicated on creating a deeper sense of community and connection. It’s sad to see how siloed our world has become.

one hundred percent. Living in Spain and being part of a community has made me happier than ever. People here interact every day.

Yes to sharing and connection also requires we accept a wait for other sharers with open receptivity, and that others may have different sharing and connection forms than ours.

The wider the curiosity the more likely the finding out!
