I've been pondering over the @OrbitModel of community a bit over the past few days. If you haven't seen it, it's well worth the read. Some reflections... 🧵👇 github.com/orbit-love/orbit-…

The entire model is represented by a solar system of community involvement. The key vocab includes: * Gravity * Love * Reach

Gravity The pull of a community in. Each person becomes a celestial body in orbit. What I like about that is it doesn't assume *everyone* is on the path to adopting the closest orbit. Some people will orbit like a satellite, others like Pluto. Understanding that is valuable.

Love The synonym for the orbit of the community person. Could there be a better word to describe the experience? "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." - Maya Angelou

Reach The influence circles of each person. Saul Alinsky wrote: "My only fixed truth is a belief in people." It's people who inspire other people. Understanding & measuring that reach becomes critical. I spoke a lot about this at the last @devrelcon. invidious.snopyta.org/watch?v=o07iRbFa…

Lots and lots of more thoughts on the topic, but it'll have to wait for another time. As a great rabbi once said, "The work is long and the day is short." 😉
