Where do you belong?

Last night we talked about belonging. What does it mean and why is it important? Abraham Maslov was famous for his levels of needs and how important they are for people to become "fully human". After health and safety, BELONGING was next on the list. I talked about how much Jr. High was torture for me early on until I found a group to belong in. We talked about when we were in a relationship with people that just clicked. We talked about who gets kicked to the curb in society now. We are a little light on lepers and tax collectors these days so society found immigrants and the GLBT community to push out of the circle. We talked about a God that is so big that the circle is large enough that EVERYONE is in it. In God's house there are MANY rooms. Those from other lands and the gay community are not the only ones pushed out by society. I ask you: Who else is pushed out of the larger community and ends up on the margins? Hope to see you soon. Love and laughs, jerry
