Me as We

I am in the mix, or rather "we" are. I am not sure we refers to my Gemini twins or our marriage dyad. We have sought to find a transition from ego to wego, from me to we, to remember we are all in the same boat. One of the goals of nourishing flourishing has been to seek the grammar of spirituality that transcends language and dogma. Let us continue!
Today reading Wendell Berry's essay on farming he drew the line between plowing with horses and with a tractor. If we work with a machine, we see the earth as a machine; if we work with living creatures we see the earth as a living creature. If someone from a pulpit tells me how my spirit is made manifest, I see my spirit as external to my self; if I seek my spirit in the group, if I reconnect with the group, I will see my spirit in the group.
