As always, your writing inspires me. The title alone is an attention grabber.
Having lived in cohousing for 25 years (Takoma Village in Washington, DC), I experience all of what you wrote about "showing up" ... daily. People are generous w/ their time and efforts when responding to social needs.
I urge you to write about applying "The Sacred Art of Showing Up" when it comes to the daily drip, drip, drip of living in cohousing or in any collaborative community:
*attending meetings
*participating in "workshare" days
*annual planning for the budget
*facilities maintenance
*meal planning and execution
*administrative work
*website maintenance and improvements, etc.etc.etc.
Many thanks for posting this essay. It IS stimulating! :-)
