If we are to grow, if we are to progress,
If we are to grow
If we are to progress
If we are to make a better world
We must converse

Already one; but most under a cloth diaphanous or blanketing
It is our inmost selves who are already one. Hidden from view, touched and touching by a few, covered as by a grey cloth for most, a cloth diaphanous or blanketing. From here we reach out into the world, as our awareness opens the way: some to contend, some to embrace.

The between dimension
How we shall be, how we shall live, a new form of species, is what is at stake: A new dimension that we have not lived before. The between dimension.
The between dimension. We are wide, tall and thick; we are also connecting. We may be connected or disconnected from others and from the all there is, at any particular time.

We are not complete organisms–
“We always tend to forget that the supernatural is a leaven, a life-principle, not a complete organism.” Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, Hymn of the Universe, p 111. We humans are not complete organisms, either. We need each other; we need the divine. When we reach out to others and to G*d, we are remembering that we are incomplete, and we seek to complete ourselves with others and the whole. No, we are not complete organisms: we are completing.
