Where do you find Community?

Every morning they gather under the yellow sign in Roanoke, VA and order up what they hunger for most--community!  I watch them in their overalls, wind hewn faces, and listen to the banter and laughter that begins their day.  The sign hangs prominently, "No Checks," which they ignore making out their checks.  This is a place where they are known--and know each other--and nothing else needs saying except, "How'd you want them hash browns?" 

 

Then I end the day with a Starbucks trip, not for the caffeine certainly, but because I see the same cast of characters there.  Laptops out, busy at work, but needing each other's company to sit in a room isolated by electronics.  They too hunger for the community that does not come with the Latte special.  But excuse me, gotta run!  I am off to Barnes & Noble Cafe!

Here I meet a friend of mine about every other week.  Books gives us the excuse to walk, talk and hit topics we see in print.  Tired, exhausted from the day--we leave enriched and energized from the community of two.

Where exactly do you go 

for community?
