If I just do my thing and you do yours. We stand in danger of losing each other And ourselves. I am not in this world to live up to your expectations: But I am in this world to confirm you As a unique human being. And to be confirmed by you. We are fully ourselves only in relation to each other; The I detached from a Thou Disintegrates. I do not find you by chance; I find you by an active life Of reaching out. Rather than passively letting things happen to me. I can act intentionally to make them happen. I must begin with myself, true; But I must not end with myself; The truth begins with two. ===Walter Tubbs===
