!important; } Thank you Robin for posting. The questions you pose "why am I
here? why are we here? Are so timely for me. Today, and truly in the last
week, the educational institution I work for has left me disappointed,
disillusioned and down right pissed off!
So I reflect. I am here for the students. They expect a quality education and
we must deliver it to them, no matter what stands in the way. The students
keep me coming to work each day as I strive to be a better educator.
It is good to ask Why!

Hi
I live in an intentional community called Pinakarri, which means “pay close
attention” or “listen deeply” (literally “ear stand”, Nyangumarta language,
north-west Australia). Sixteen years ago, after 8 years of planning, about 35
adults and kids moved in. Although we’d agreed on how we wanted to live
together (share stuff, support each other, build community, etc) I wasn’t
satisfied that we were sufficiently connected to a common intention. With so
much on our plates there wasn’t any appetite to spend much time on this again.
In anticipation of getting together I invited folks to consider: Why are you
here? Why are we here?
When we gathered to share our reflections one member said, “I’m here to learn
to love.” And that was it.
Through Pinakarri we learn to love has held us through the thick and thin of
co-operative living ever since.
Cheers Robyn

Dear Friends,
Edgar Cahn says we have two questions.
Why are we here?
And what kind of a world do we want to leave behind?
