I feel personally as if I am able to ask for trust, and get it. I am given space and support to put them into practice. Others are willing to wait and see what happens. At the same time others in the group feel comfortable in putting up their own ideas, and receive space and support in trying them. We work and play together.
Strong differences remain, and they are discussed.
We take them into account, but they are not the major focus. They take up far less time than imagination and affection. After five months of working to achieve solidarity and understanding within our group, we made our first step into the public community life of Ravenshoe and district. The questions were arrived at through two days of brainstorming and discussion about all the different people, groups, and interests that would be affected by a large project of this kind. They were phrased in as open-ended a way as possible because we didn't want to be putting words into people's mouths.
