[ Polis ]

I’ve learned a new word and concept just recently:  we are all part of the ‘polis’. 

It literally means “city” in Greek, but the context is more interesting than that.

It’s an ancient word that invokes a togetherness.  And it is (or might be) the foundation for words like  politics, police, policy and polite.  These are important concepts and ‘ways-of-society’ that, when working well, make for a great society.

The polis is a little wonky right now, I must say.    What we can all work on is the concept of being polite; it’s one thing we have some control over.
