Greetings as another year begins...always a time for reflection on the reason and desire to share the journey with companions.
2OO1
Witness to intention and unconscious, crime and hatred, suffering and beauty, continents and islands, senselessness and wonder, the eternal struggle that is our individual and collective life. With honesty and effort, to bring my part to our life, my uniqueness to what is ever transformed and shared and then to encounter the shared in my single quest.
To feel humble and small...yet have ideals and respond with noblesse and grandeur. With doubt and passion, to search, to plumb, to engage...forever without guarantee of solution or improvement, without certainty even of an unobstructed view.
To dare to suspend control and deception
in order to encounter the Other. For, singular or plural, there is
another, a third person or party, known and feared as difference and diversity...the
surprise and opportunity to hear yet another universal music, to contemplate
new rhythms...another dance to invent or learn, and through aloneness in
motion, to bear witness to the union of our years.
