Wayfinding in the Commons

“You ever notice how the inner voice that says we're powerless, and that this will never work, is louder when you feel alone? Loneliness and isolation amplify despair, but community, partnership, and action are the anecdotes. Hope is a group project.” – Jemar Tisby

Wayfinding: all the processes that allow us to orient ourselves in spaces, as we travel from place to place, and on unknown pathways

Commons: "The term may be unfamiliar, but the idea has been around for centuries. The commons is a new use of an old word, meaning 'what we share'—and it offers fresh hope for a saner, safer, more enjoyable future…. More than just a philosophical and political framework for understanding what’s gone wrong, the commons furnishes us a toolkit for fixing problems… beyond something you own to a bigger idea: how we live together." (from https://www.terrain.org/articles/27/walljasper.htm)

“All that we share is all we need to change the world.” – Jay Walljasper, All That We Share: A Field Guide to the Commons
