Community Having

Community building is an ongoing activity. Community sustaining and community having are similar activities.

However, much of community is a lot of talk. Talk initiates community and sustains it.

Community is sustained and nurtured by talking about activities such as ethics, values, energy, rights, dialogue, assumptions, community, needs, wants, desires, goals, and all that is most important in the minds of the participants.

Productive talk is a skill we all learn.
