the limbo between left-out and group mind
The housing conference was ‘a watershed’, many peeps impassioned, ready for action on the sustainable, affordable, community-friendly home front. Me too. Still, am left with letdown feelings of, ‘what now’? Where is the group, where is the support, how do I do this?
Isolation is my issue. It comes from growing up in the bush with so few people around me; I don’t know how to reach out, to join in. As a kid, I lurked at the edges of whatever was happening, shyness compounded by isolation, alone in my oddity, the one piece that didn’t quite fit the puzzle.
