An inward-looking community will die of suffocation. Living communities are linked to others, making up a huge reservoir of love for the world… communities being born and reborn will be alike without ever even knowing each other… It is a sign of maturity for a community to bind itself in friendship with others; it knows its own identity, so doesn’t need to make comparisons. It loves even the differences which distinguish it, because each community has its own gift which must flourish. These communities are complementary; they need each other…” -Jean VanierAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6070854769893113410.post-76048074762513076242017-12-04T08:21:28.559-05:002017-12-04T08:21:28.559-05:00Yes, our community needs to be more united.

This also just divides the community even more. <br />We have a nice tango community in Montréal and we are so lucky, but we have to protect what exists and what we do have by working together to develop Montréal as a leading North American Tango city. <br />"Buenos Aires du Nord "<br /> :) <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10823080322192022653noreply@blogger.com
