\nWhat happens when we find out that we are not, as we had thought, separate from the world, but are instead participants in a vast context that stretches back into deep time and that holds us and makes us, even as we make it?
\n
\nFrom this vantage point perhaps we get to see that in being living, sentient, relational beings in such an inescapably relationship-rich context we are in some ways very small, and in other ways have the enormous power to shape what we pay attention to, and what we cultivate in response to the the world. And that it is exactly this capacity to choose that can make the difference between our making cultures of kindness, care and inclusion, or those that tear us apart.\xa0

\nWORKING TOGETHER
\n
\nWe shape our selves
\nto fit this world
\nand by the world
\nare shaped again.
\nThe visible
\nand the invisible
\nworking together
\nin common cause,
\n- to produce\xa0
\nthe miraculous.
\nI am thinking\xa0
\nof the way
\nthe intangible air
\npassed at speed
\nround\xa0
\na shaped wing
\neasily
\nholds our weight.
\nSo may we,\xa0
\nin this life
\ntrust
\nto those elements
\nwe have yet to see
\nor imagine,
\nand find the true
\nshape of our own self,
\nby forming it well
\nto the great\xa0
\nintangibles about us.
