True Nature

When alone, we die
When lonely, we die
We long for deep longings
We long for in-depth relatedness
Deep longings
In-depth relatedness
Are vital to our humanness.

At the higher level
There is no otherness
At the lower level
There is no  oneness
Everyone, an integral part
Everyone, an important part
Of another yet bigger part
Of another yet better part.

Let thrive together
Or let die together
Let grow
From one another's growth
Let be great
From one another's greatness.

Let improve our own self
By improving others' self
There is no greater pleasure
Than exploring our true nature
Than caring for our true nature.
