Throughout history, we've gathered together in the market square.
We're there to buy and sell, to get good deals on fibers, fabrics,
fruits, vegetables, and bread, but we're also there to see friends,
gossip, trade recipes, and admire new clothes. We've got an eye on
each other's animals, and we're going to keep them from getting
into any trouble. It's our chance to hold someone else's baby or
to congratulate a new grandmother. It's a chance to connect, to
touch, and to bond with others.

These days, it's easy to feel like we live in scary times, and
sometimes we're less neighborly than we used to be. Our lives are
filled with long distances and technology. We're more likely to
make cyberfriends than visit with someone down the street. Our
lives are full of work, school, and caretaking, but how many of us
still live near our families? Our hometowns? How do we reach out
to one another?
