Another lesson in humility for us. To relish the bounty of peach season to the fullest, is to recognize how to gracefully accept the gifts of nature. Co-operation pays in so many ways. The amount a group can accomplish is astounding. Living as an alternative family is a satisfying social option.
Shared responsibilities can bring out hidden talents.
I became involved in co-operatives for the remainder of my college years. As a professional planner I encourage communities to provide housing that can work for groups and alternative families. Why foster loneliness and inefficiency, when the alternative can be so much fun. Well, thanks for indulging my reminiscing.
