Their shape
The Village
Where everyone is known by name.
The Village is built on belonging, where everyone knows everyone and relationships are the point. Its gift is loyalty and warmth, its challenge is scaling beyond the intimacy that makes it work.
Also reads toward The Movement and The Parliament.
