Individual creative acts are extremely important.  Sharing these acts with others is an action that encourages them to do the same. It doesn’t matter who you are. It doesn’t matter if it’s a house project, observations of the community, reflections on yourself, your family, your history, or your community. We need to share our lives and encourage other people to take the risk of doing so at this time in our lives. We need intimacy. We need to reflect on our lives, what we are doing. What we feel. What we are experiencing now. We need to see value in ourselves and others in this time of crisis. We have to get out of ourselves, out of the thinking that assigns economic value to every aspect of our lives defining value based on profit and the increasing wealth that is entrenched in our present economic and social system. This truth has been laid bare by many of the governmental and private choices that the pandemic has revealed. We can only look forward; there is no hope, there is only action.  That action we must begin amongst ourselves. We have to be responsible for each other, we have to care for other people. We have to really pay attention to what our effects are on others and to this end, that is the journey of this group of people working individually while working with each other. We are devoted to these goals.
