The Story of Us
We are all part of multiple “us’s” – families, faiths, cultures, communities, organizations, and nations in which we participate with others. What community, organization, movement, culture, nation, or other constituency do you consider yourself to be part of, connected with? With whom do you share a common past? With whom do you share a common future? Do you participate in this community as a result of “fate”, “choice” or both? How like or unlike the experience of others do you believe your own experience to be? One way we establish an “us” – a shared identity – is through telling of shared stories, stories through which we can articulate the values we share, as well as the particularities that make us an “us.” ~Marshall Ganz
