     The  decay and fall of a community is likely to  have
to do with  some  essential  aspect  of community which is
neglected,   de-emphasized,    trivialized,   objectified,
repressed,  suppressed, or otherwise made to be apparently
unimportant---in covert, tacit, implicit or collusive ways
which   make  the  lack  and  resultant  imbalance  to  be
invisible to the members of the community.  It is unlikely
that the cause of decay and fall will be overt,  explicit,
honest or otherwise out in the open.

     Essential  aspects   which  may  be  neglected,   de-
emphasized,     trivialized,    objectified,    repressed,
suppressed or otherwise made to be apparently  unimportant
include:

     1.  Open and honest personal dialogue
     2.  Personal and communal integrity
     3.  Nurturing of infants and children
     4.  Expressions of physical affection
     5.  Healthy sexual relationships
     6.  Respect for intimate friendships
     7.  Leisure, relaxation, rest, meditation, prayer
     8.  Unique persons and relationships
     9.  Reflexive realities and relationships
    10.  Emotions, feelings, intuitions
    11.  Unique experiences
    12.  Articulations of ideals, values, and principles
