When we split ourselves off, we lose power and being. We are when we are part. This we intuitively know: we come alive when we join in a task which is “larger than life.”
That larger has a name: love. Call it glue if you like. It calls us together for our being.
“No one is an island.” We really are clods if we break ourselves off from the fertile field.
So the over-against calls us to life.
This is a service we provide each other when we meet: we call each other to life. When we have mismeetings, we have missed life and liveliness. It is possible to live at a higher frequency; so often we choose otherwise. We choose consciously or by default; no matter since it is the same result: we die a little. We become a little more of an It in a world of Its. We could have been a human. We could have had a real confrontation. We could have been larger, more real.

People fear engaging groups: they fear they will be swallowed up and no longer exist. Yet the truth is exactly opposite: the more they engage, the more separate and real and present and surprising they become.

It is easy—and somewhat underdeveloped—to solve an argument by violence. It is more difficult—and lasting—to meet the other as a true one who will remain with us a true one, each making accommodations for the other to live.

Love is something
First the love then the lovers
Love brings forth lovers
