Idyllic Schmyllic

  In response to the Daily Post’s daily prompt: What does your ideal community look like? How is it organized and how is community life structured?

I’ve lived perfect moments:

newborn babies cradled, lips pressing against softest cheeks
strains of music so pure that the soul
expands with every note
hands held on a warm summer night
sunsets shared over a bottle of wine, or two
chasing fireflies and catching none

But a perfect community?

one where every citizen feels welcome, safe, respected?
where no one goes hungry or suffers abuse?
where all ideas are honored and no one claims to know the best path for all.

i’ve not seen that.

  
peace, people!
