Ego?

I have been thinking about my own ego. I really want my process to develop organically, although i may have a plan, this needs to remain in flux constantly shaped and moulded to compliment what is all-ready there.   I need to be intuitive to the sensibility of the community throughout the project.  Only from meeting people and building relationships can i understand what 'public' i am mediating to. 

I feel i have run away and distanced myself from Dover over the last year, but but every-time I'm back i'm 'home'. I notice so many changes but mostly where the people are concerned its like i have never been away. I think this is part of the experience of growing up in a small town. I always have been sensitive to Dover's needs, i have always have felt part of the community.I want to remember my personal links to Dover but not to let my ego overtake others interpretation.  

Is it OK to have niggling worries that i will become an outsider during this process, that maybe the community i have always seen as my own will reject me?
