Since this Liquid Sundays was also a fashion show, three general groups of people mixed, stirred, but rarely shook. Afterwords, at a late-night greasy spoon while waiting for Nate the cook, JustAnn and I discussed synergy and community. People not mixing is nothing new outside of a baby in a blender joke, but the conversation stirred something deeper.

I was the most interested when Justin hit on something I’ve been thinking about for a while, which is community in a smaller sense: a group or, often termed in retrospect, a movement. In his biography of Nathaniel Hawthorne, author Henry James wrote “the best things come, as a general thing, from the talents that are members of a group; every man works better when he has companions working in the same line, and yielding the stimulus of suggestion, comparison, emulation.”

More to come…
