What are we making together?

“I’m not interested in paternalistic nudges or vapid prompts to think twice, but rather, something like the way a well-designed park creates space both to gather and to wander—quiet benches tucked under trees alongside open fields fit for games, pathways for walking in ones and twos, blooms and birdhouses that invite a moment of rest. What if our social spaces had more ways to get lost? More places to sit a spell? What if we brought more intention to the way we contribute to these patterns? To the way our own choices overflow the container, and push on what’s possible.”

Another thoughtful post from Mandy on social media and again, it makes me think of the way things were and they way they will likely never be again. I can also see how our own human nature somewhat drives these things and it makes me think a lot about the writing of Sara Hendren.
