In variously reading, scanning and, unfortunately - due to the need to prioritize my time, not reading some posts on this thread - I recalled the following poem - which is a guide to my internal space opening in relationship with others... A little Gestalt poem to leave you all with:
"If I just do my thing and you do yours, We stand in danger of losing each other And ourselves I am not in this world to live up to your expectations; But I am in this world to confirm you As a unique human being, And to be confirmed by you. We are fully ourselves only in relation to each other; The 'I' detached from a 'Thou' disintegrates. I do not find you by chance; I find you by an active life Of reaching out. Rather than letting things passively happen to me, I can act intentionally to make them happen. I must begin with myself, true; But I must not end with myself; The truth begins with two." (Tubbs W. 1972. Journal of Humanistic Psychology, (12) 5 Beyond Perls) Glory Ressler :-) * * ========================================================== [email protected] ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of [email protected]: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs: http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist
