When one begins to awaken
to the inter-relational dimension of Being,
something surprising reveals itself.

In the shared transformational field,
in the space between us,
there is a recognition of
both uniqueness and belonging,
autonomy and ultimate connection:
not separate beings attempting to interact
but the sense of no boundary at the deepest level—
independent units naturally together,
an expression of the whole.

As immersion in the field deepens,
this recognition ripples into everyday life.
Engaging with another as not-other,
one realises that dialogue itself
is an expression of integration—
two in conversation temporarily ONE.

So when Patrick and I dialogue,
it matters little who is speaking
and who is listening.
We are a unit,
a vortex of integrated oneness
for the brief duration
of the unfolding.

Working more intimately
and over a longer period with Anne
is yet another vortex in the flow—
perhaps even an established whirlpool—
a coincidence of opposites
integrated into a common vision,
fed by different perspectives,
emerging as a dynamic expression
of the field of Being in action.

And with my partner Rade,
a deeper integration of two-as-one,
so interwoven and entwined
that our apparent boundaries
slip and morph and shimmer
with translucence.

All of it embedded in a greater whole
that holds and carries each coherence—
these vortices, these islands—
in the vastness of the great emerging.
