"Somewhere there are people
to whom we can speak with passion without having to catch our words in our
throats. Somewhere a circle of hands will open to receive us whenever we
come into our own power. Community means strength that joins our strength
to do the work that needs to be done. Arms to hold us when we falter.
A circle of healings. A circle of friends. Someplace where we can be
free." --Starhawk
