Thinking Interdependently

Being able to work and learn from others in reciprocal situations. Work together; learn together!

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.
Margaret Mead
Shared values are the glue that holds this organization together
Shelly Brown
A community is like a ship; everyone ought to be prepared to take the helm.
Henrik Ibsen
It may have happened that, at some point in my life, I took some part of me out of the darkness and placed it in the light for the eyes of another. It may be that this other person did not understand, and I ran full of regrets into a painful emotional solitude. Yet, there may have been other moments when someone heard my secret and accepted my confidence in gentle hands. I remember the gentle pressure that told me I was understood. It was a great and liberating experience, and in its wake I felt so much more alive. An immense need had been answered in me to be really listened to, to be taken seriously, and to be understood. It is only through this kind of sharing that we come to know ourselves. Introspection of itself is helpless. We can confide all of our secrets to the docile pages of a personal diary, but we can know ourselves and experience the fullness of life only in the sharing with another person.
John Powell
Nobody, but nobody / Can make it out here alone.
Maya Angelou
He who knows others is wise; / He knows himself is enlightened.
Lao-Tzu
There is overwhelming evidence that the higher the level of self-esteem, the more likely one will be to treat others with respect, kindness, and generosity.
Nathaniel Branden
Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that this new world is born.
Anais Nin
Community is...a dynamic set of relationships in which a synergistic, self-regulating whole is created out of the combination of individual parts into a cohesive, identifiable, unified form.
Center for the Study of Community, Santa Fe, New Mexico
The Master Mind principle: Two or more people actively engaged in the pursuit of a definite purpose with a positive mental attitude, constitute an unbeatable force.
Napoleon Hill
Isolation is a blind alley....Nothing on the planet grows except by convergence.
Teilhard de Chardin
The ultimate use of power is to empower others.
William Glasser
Communities are places or entities where each member can give something, where they can contribute something that they feel especially able to give, something that they are good at. The gift from each member is valued by the whole community and all gifts are unique and individual. The gift that community gives back to each member is that of a role and a connection.
Ed Margarson
True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it be lost.
Charles Caleb Colton
Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow. Don't walk behind me, I may not lead. Walk beside me and be my friend.
Albert Camus.
Friendship is one mind in two bodies.
Mencius
I'll lean on you and you lean on me and we'll be okay.
Dave Matthews Band
Everyone hears what you say. Friends listen to what you say. Best friends listen to what you don't say.

We all take different paths in life, but no matter where we go, we take a little of each other everywhere
Tim McGraw
Become the world's most thoughtful friend.

We are all healers of each other. Look at David Spiegel's fascinating study of putting people together in a support group and seeking that some people in it live twice as long as other people who are not in a support group. I asked David what went on in those groups and he said that people just cared about each other. Nothing big, no deep psychological stuff--people just cared about each other. The reality is that healing happens between people.

We provide both irritation and inspiration for each other—the grist for each other’s pearl making.
Stephen Nachmonovitch
It takes two to know one.
Gregory Bateson
The miracle is this....The more we share, the more we have
Leonard Nimoy
Don't talk about your troubles. No one loves a sad face. Oh, Mom, the truth is Cheer isolates, Humor defends, Competence intimidates, Control separates, And sadness, Sadness opens us each to the other.
Bill Moyers
