Community & Accountability

I probably show my age with the song selections for most of my blog entries…and this will be no exception! Hold Me Accountable is by 80s-90s songwriter Gary Taylor, and it is the perfect match  for today’s meditation.

For the past few years, I’ve observed a lack of accountability in our collective. I’m wondering if some of the reasons people don’t hold our leaders and organizations accountable is because they are hoping to keep relationships in tact. But good relationships are not worth the price of a sick community QueenSiS. It must be possible to live in loving community with others and still hold (and be held) accountable for the kinds of behaviors and actions that support a loving community. I’m sure it can be a difficult balance to strike, requiring a lot of courage, care, consistency, and grace, but surely it can be done. #communityaccountability
