If you want community, you have to participate in your community. And I mean physically, locally. Talk to people, talk to strangers, meet your neighbors. Shop local and support community efforts. Show up after disasters. Bring a broom or bring a casserole. Join a community group. Get into local politics.

It's going to require you to accept people whose beliefs do not align with yours. Difficult people. People whose personalities grate on you. It's going to require grace and tolerance and the ability to debate ethics and politics without ultimatums. It's going to require biting your tongue when correcting someone would hurt more than it helps. Reading the room and picking correct moments. Thinking deeply about the people in your community and, with an optimistic lack of malice, wonder what might be causing their worst behaviors and what you can do to work around them.

Neither a Fascist nor a Marxist but a secret, third thing.

Fata Morgana

a superior mirage caused by warm air resting on patches of colder air in an atmospheric duct that acts like a refracting lens. Objects on the horizon could appear to be mirrored, distorted, or float. This form of mirage could be the reason for the Flying Dutchman Legend.
