Person is a construct of our minds
Person is a construct of our minds, a shorthand for a handle on this other who is in actuality richer, fuller, more nuanced than we could ever contain. Flowers we could be called Contain-Me-Nots.

New worlds opening for us
Heaven then
is new worlds opening to us,
in us, with us, by our work,
and we may grow & learn & change:
unfold to all we might be
We have a gift
now
to grow into new persons
Why wait?
Get busy
now
This gift is sometimes called
evolution

In the muddy ash

In the flaming forth

I live half-in half-out
of the creative fire

Footprints in the Windsm # 1287–Multiply infinity by eternity
Footprints in the Windsm # 1287
There is something that happens to the you when You step into relation, into meeting, something beyond saying we each are different persons when we meet, and each time we meet: it says we are this particular time-space we.
We are each infinities and eternities, and when we meet, we multiply infinity by eternity, eternity by eternity, infinity by infinity: we are large and we are without length.
We fill all and go on filling.
Please pass it on.
