Missy Whaley plants a broccoli sprout in the community garden at Currents. When asked about her first time at Currents, Missy recalls, “My feet felt very connected to the ground and to the earth here. I felt something when we walked on the paths. It looked like a place where you could have these visions come to their full growth. And I like the idea of having to live with people and make decisions with people.” After living at Currents for a number of years, Missy describes the group decision making process members participate in at their meetings, “At the end of it when we all come to the little seedling that grows and grows through the dirt and you make it all and it goes to its tree or plant. I think at the end, the last intention is compassion, even though some people can name their own struggles, like not seeing eye to eye, they’ll still choose compassion.”
