Community poetry
“Planando sopra boschi di braccia tese” - Lucio Battisti
7 x when
When we trust people, they are from inside our community and when we don’t trust people, they are from outside our community. We are always better of doing it that way.
When we are grieving we are sharing it with loved ones and when we are joyful we are sharing it with loved ones. We are always better of doing it that way.
When we are searching for love we believe to find it outside our community and when we are feeling love we find it to come from inside our community. We are always better of doing it that way.
When we search for a fulfilling job we tend to not think about our community and when we find a fulfilling job we tend to think that we are serving our community. We are always better of doing it that way.
When we look to feel at home, we think about ourselves first and when you feel at home your home is what you share with your community. We are always better of doing it that way.
When we think and reflect about life we think about our community first and when we act in life we tend to not think about our community first. We are never better off doing it that way.
1 x what
What else is there where that reasoning can be applied? With everything, we are always better of considering our community first.
3 x but Hani
But Hani, what do you mean by community? Community is defined as the ensemble of all authentic connections in your live.
But Hani, what about the connections that aren’t based on authenticity? Inverse the meaning of all the sentences written in italics and you have your answer.
But Hani, can’t I just live and grow with unauthentic connections and act in opposite ways from what you described above? Doing that increases the complexity of maintaining connections exponentially, with every connection increasing your chance of shattering the house of cards. It limits you to a certain amount connections that you can control and oversee. And anyways, do you really want to live a dishonest life controlling every single connection you have got and becoming paranoid about the lies that you have been building it all on?
3 x having a community
Having a community is taking care of existing connections, the ones that really define you and being open to new ones that take you towards new horizons.
Having a community is embracing your intuition and let your heart connect before your brain understands why.
Having a community is to not understand why.
3x if you
If you have the courage of living with authenticity,
If you let authenticity define your community,
If you let this be your destiny,
-
everything will fall in place and you will always be better of.
