Reflection
Community
We are the ones we have been waiting for.
— June Jordan
हम वही हैं जिनका हम इंतजार कर रहे थे।
— जून जॉर्डन
Why this matters:
Waiting for a leader or a miracle is an abdication of our collective power. The community itself holds the solutions it needs. Service is the act of stepping into that power and taking responsibility for our shared future.
यह क्यों मायने रखता है:
किसी नेता या चमत्कार की प्रतीक्षा करना हमारी सामूहिक शक्ति का परित्याग है। समुदाय के पास स्वयं वे समाधान हैं जिनकी उसे आवश्यकता है। सेवा उस शक्ति में कदम रखने और हमारे साझा भविष्य की जिम्मेदारी लेने का कार्य है।
