the feeling of "team"

I suspected when I asked for a "lite" version of ten tigers that the experience would be something important -- that even though I could not see how to fit the full experience into the upcoming year, I wanted as much of it as I could get. I was right. The feeling of "team" is uplifting. Why does it make such a difference? All of these requirements (save the lessons) are things we could each do alone -- and I had been trying to live in a similar fashion already. But the "alone" is the trick. "Alone" is not uplifting (though it can be at times). Having support, talking and writing with people who feel the same, being on the kwoon floor within something even larger -- that's a very fine feeling of "team."
