Some of the best parts of being in the Beloved Community of Progressive- and Open-minded folks include:
- We are a part of a truly beloved community with beautiful, amazing people all around us from all parts of the world that we get to share life with;
- All the wonderful people who are observably good, trying their best, just wanting to have their own safe, peaceful, loving place in this world. What's to disagree with in that?
- It's a beautiful world that we all share, and we are fired up to celebrate and care for it;
- It's a beautiful world, and we're enamored with spending time in it;
- Hiking;
- Gardening;
- Recycling garbage into art!
- Freedom;
- Human rights;
- Live and let live;
- If you don't want to marry a guy or a gal, you don't HAVE to...
you're free to be you and WE'RE free to be us;
you're free to be you and WE'RE free to be us;
- If you don't think a specific medical process is right for you, NO ONE will force a medical procedure upon you! You're free to be you and make your decisions... and we're free to make ours;
In short, the best things about belonging in the Beloved Community are Liberty, Love and Grace. THESE are our common ground, or can be, regardless of political party or partisan leanings! We are part of a welcoming, empowering, supportive beloved community of All who wish to join... and if you don't want to join, that's fine, too. Just don't cause harm to others. Because, Love, decency and just basic common sense, friends.
Let's tear down the walls that divide, protect the marginalized and love, love, love.
Oh, and one last thing: When someone not only rejects being part of the Beloved Community for themselves, but they try to deny rights to the rest of us, we in the Beloved Community can and will stand in solidarity with each other. Of course, not everyone IS making good, non-harmful decisions. The Beloved Community is there to fight against those who'd cause harm, too, as well as celebrate all the great things that come with belonging in what Wendell Berry would call the Membership.
