Quotes from Cormac Russell:
“Community is absolutely irreplaceable and essential when it comes to making meaning at times that are painful and don’t make any sense.”
“Its not enough to know what somebody’s good life is like unless we know how to then build a bridge between that good life and the interdependence experience in community they are looking for.”
