PARTNERSHIP
perhaps the most simple
part of being ready to meet another
is a shared idea
an enough-shared purpose
maybe underneath that
is the very notion
of a shared idea
that it is even possible
to create in delicious together
from strong self
yes a world that has existed forever
yet has been hidden
forgotten
perhaps these are just stages
needing to be lived
in their own time
through the vessels
we call us
I won’t be managed again
not in love
not in relation
life is in the invitation
I won’t live in assignment
that masks lack of imagination
and remembering
of what together can be
partnership is more vibrant
I won’t live in single view
when so much more exists
beyond the unchallenged assumptions
choice is soooo much more aligned
with the brilliant energy of the universe
those are false boundaries
that I thought I had to live
it turns out
I don’t
LIFE IS IN THE INVITATION
Tenneson Woolf, 2010
