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.
