More than a bit of give and take,
this circling dance of belonging
whirls us round to face each other.

A ten dollar word for the golden rule:

Treat your neighbor as yourself.

For pity's sake, be a fool.

Not just facing a mirror reflection;
a hand reaches out;
to give and receive another.

Together. Alone but together. Worship alone in personal relationship but together as the body of Christ. Include all in the love of Christ. Including all is how we, individually and together, reach mutuality.

Mutuality

Mystifies me.

Still, I aspire.

# data[].attributes.body
When I respond to others' pain
From my pain
And not my privilege

When my answers are
Rooted in my foolishness
Not false pride at my wisdom

Then I receive more
In my giving
And they receive
My truth

# data[].attributes.body
I can, I can, I can do it alone

You can, you can, you can do it yourself

Together we might discover “it” wasn’t the deepest, truest good we could have

To not be aware of our societal mutuality

Is such a privilege

Have you ever called for help from rock bottom?

# data[].attributes.body
Is the opposite of in/out, us/them, win/lose

Is the essence of compassion, cooperation, community

Is often what is missing

Mutuality
Happens when I change into
You and behold Me

WDR

Note: The word mutuality comes from a Latin word mutare, meaning "to change," as in mutation.

Also, mutuality, with 5 syllables, provides a great challenge to a haiku poet!

What if we're different heights?
What if we move at different speeds?
Will our amazing God, creator of the whole universe, stoop, lovingly to accompany me - a human being, so small and so slow?
He says He will...
Matthew 11:28-30

‘Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.’
Mutuality indeed.

Some days the idea of mutuality feels like the heaviest burden: one more thing I’m supposed to be giving, one more way I’m not measuring up, one more thing everyone gets to demand of me.

I try to remember that the only debt I owe - the only debt - is to Love. When Love asks, mutuality is effortless.

knowing that my life, your life, the life of our planet

are tied together, intricate, shimmering web

beauty, possibility, peril

# data[].attributes.body
I had to unlearn self-sufficiency / remove it from my personal vocabulary of achievement /
to embrace, instead the language of connectedness, of intersection, of love

Mutuality is a symptom
Of the forgotten truth.
That we are all one
