"Space" given, honors the individuality and nurtures
the collectivity...the togetherness, realizing the self, and thus, oneness with
all...divinity realized, as within so without....
"Let there be spaces in your togetherness, and let the
winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of
love. Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your soul. Sing and
dance together but let each one be alone. Stand together yet not too near
together, for the pillars of a temple stand apart and the oak tree and cypress
grow not in each other's shadow."
~ Kahlil Gibran (in The Prophet)
