My community is still relatively new, but I see some of that dichotomy here. Some people have a drive to improve and change, some are happy to find a comfortable place and stay there. I lean toward the constant improvement end of things, but I can see that life as a "liver" is far more relaxed. Most people have the capacity to operate at either end of the spectrum. We've all known the activist who gets married/ has kids/gets a "real" job and all of a sudden is dong the 9 to 5 grind like they were born to it, or the complacent "liver" who runs across a cause that really touches their soul and is working night and day to change the world. I wouldn't be surprised if at some point in the next 5-10 years another round of "burning soul" energy arises at Pioneer Valley in response to new people moving in or some crisis or major event. I know a few people in the cohousing movement who seem to move once the community is really settled, going on to help build a new community, or to find one that fits their ideals and lifestyle better. You might find a place for that energy and drive in improving the larger community around you. I hope you find that community of "workers" you are looking for.
