One and two-thirds powers
Every encounter you have one and two-thirds powers to create, make, call forth, invent, other persons. The first power is to hear the being facing you into existence as person. The two-thirds power is what the two of you have jointly to give birth to, bring forth, your composite person. It is two-thirds not one-half because each of you must go farther than to the meeting point. And no, you cannot bring yourself forth as a person—only the other can, by hearing you, taking you in, respecting you. You can’t do this for yourself. Can you tickle yourself?
