The Fulfilment of Each

* Man, alone in his manliness is incomplete . Woman , alone in her womanliness, is incomplete. Such eager struggle as each searches to find other so there is both . So it is that there is man and woman and the fulfilment of each other.

Undivided Silence

There has been naming so there has been dividing. Because one follows other, after dividing there will be wholeness. Therefore, name and divide that wholeness may ensue. Call woman the name woman and divide her from man. Call man a man a man and divide him from woman. Beyond calling, naming and dividing, find wholeness and undivided silence.
