If one of us succeeds, then all of us succeed.

It's important to understand that while we're building our communities, we really have to do everything we can to support it.

Community doesn't start with finding people that you can share these experiences it. Community starts with finding yourself.

Some valuable things that are lost in the fire of constant noise are the roots of original ideas. The long exploring thoughts that you can have when you are not interrupted, when the mind goes on long meandering journeys without a destination.

Look at silence as a potential universe. The seed of something.
