Sometimes the road is long

It seems the first line I write is, "It as been a long time...." 2009 continues to be a challenge. Lately I am struggling with how The OD is shaping up. It just seems that people enjoy what they get from community and think very little about what they contribute.

We have had several people "vote with their feet" in the past 6 months, without giving any indication as to what they are unhappy with. If people are invested in community, then you slug through issues together. You are family. It is confusing and hurtful when people who have been at the core of the group, just leave, without saying anything.

It seems that few people are willing to struggle. However, without the struggle, we are just another club.

If I were to be honest, I would have to admit that in many ways, we are becoming that which we left.

Peace,
