Self
Self-centered
Not necessarily selfish
Reaching the whole-ness
may be a dangerous endeavour
and concept
One is not many
a few
or even two
Love of oneself may negate
at least a bit
somewhat
a lot
the love of the other
Love may be replaced
by duty
and tasks
Meditation
One brain
Five senses
Oneness
Separateness
Self
rarely -less
Positive aloneness
Where is the empathy
there
really
Self-reliance is different
Striving for oneness
may be wrong
after all
It may be asocial
and the result
of one God
Gods and Goddesses
speak in more than
one tongue
one command
one blessing
one curse
Community
of selves
of souls
One self
to one soul
Come on

A Dart at Dusk
Seconds ago, the sullen sun set on the two of us… my exuberant furry companion and me. A fresh breeze embraces us, delivering welcome relief from the day’s oppressive heat. His typical stumbling and staggering along — apace with a sloth — has turned into trip-trapping, high-stepping, almost skipping along.

It's a thoughtful exploration of the complex nature of selfhood.
I know a few people who could really benefit by reading this. Excellently written.
