Spirit of Community

‘I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the community, and as long as I live, it is a privilege to do for it whatever I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got a hold of for a moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.’ – George Bernard Shaw

A quote passed on to me today by Blandine Bardeau, Production Supervisor for the iEvolve event which took place last weekend at the Concord Institute. Capturing quite beautifully a sense of what is possible when we take a step beyond a life defined by our ‘selves.’
