It is my duty to call attention
It is my duty to call attention to these things. Others may or may not be moved, changed, transformed, metanoiaed by it, but they have no chance to be if I do nothing.

Both separating and desiring
There is something in us which is both unique and desires others. We desire to be met by others, confirmed by them, known of them, and to know them. We go too far if we want to be them, to be homogeneous with them, to be bland sameness. It is the mix we seek, not the dissolving. We make it our business to mix. Playing savoring weaving: mystics.

engage living process
It is our business here to engage living process. It is our business to evoke and provoke and elocute living process. We cannot hope to be catalyst—changing others but remaining unchanged: this steals us from the living process.
What we do here touches all of life and is touched by all of life. Perhaps it is this web we also rip: we rip and it can grow in new directions and colors and notes and rhythms.
