Not growing

The thread I have been spinning out this morning goes something like this: Each of us is uniquely different from each other of us, each of us has our own fingerprints. Yet we are each humanity, life, all of life. We put immense and unneeded burdens upon ourselves to make sales quotas, write a perfect power of attorney, get the house paid off, buy a better garden tractor, get the bathroom updated: to reach some goal or other. And then start all over again. Nor is it as I had thought about growing. There is something beneath all that, when we squeeze out the essence of life. It is living. It is engaging each other. It is meeting one another. It is meeting one another’s needs. Nothing else.
