Community

A member of my community will be leaving and I am sad. It's hard to do this community thing, knowing that there may come a time when paths will separate. I think the hard part is, I don't understand why. Why must it be so? I don't understand why my friends will be moving on. I wish they could stay. I want what is best for them and know this must be it, but it doesn't make it any easier. I again remember why I hesitate to commit to a community. People seem to be coming and going quite a bit lately. Changes seem to be the only world we know. It is hard to allow people to get tangled into your heart only to be taken away. It makes me wonder, are we on the right path?
