so, we're doing/sharing our life maps with the p.a. group. everyone is really similar, very different. either we're fresh-start convicts, single parents, and crack babies; or over-indulged, world-travelled denizens from two parent families.
and so many of us are broken. how are we going to work together in these strange circumstances? a lof of the stories are heart-wrenching. this is now our "community." we are going to have to get beyond our differences, beyond skincolors and religions. we are going to have to be the difference.
