Neighborhood

Today I was at a meeting where a guy was talking about how the natural inclination of humans is to be in tribes or clans. I was glad to hear this as I often wonder why people seem to like so much to gather, ie parties, beach gatherings, all variations of social scenes. I am a loner at heart and so this tribal instinct is difficult to understand. But for me, it is a matter of coming into some kind of synchronicity with myself. For when I feel confident or just plan okay with myself, then I really have a good time with other people and I actually enjoy myself. This evening I went down to the beach to hang with the neighbors. We are really like extended family with one another, helping each other to bring up our children, gathering to celebrate births, birthdays, holidays, and even grieving together. I am in a good place today. How are you doing?
