| 10 principles of a burning seed community |
"It may seem obvious, but two things are absolutely necessary to creating community over the long term: someone willing to take the lead and invite others to gather, and someone willing to answer that call.
Answering the call is also a kind of generosity. Beyond receiving what the other is offering, it is also a way of giving relevance to their efforts. It says that no matter how busy or tired I might be, community with you is important to me. Ideally it isn't just one or two people doing the organizing, because at different times we all need to be held. But with enough calls made, and enough answers to those calls, the fabric of community is eventually woven."
