What we seek
is who we are
in our fullest potentiality,
in our best form,
as completely as we are capable of being.

We live to become ourselves
on the field of action.

To bring ourselves forth
in the realm of time.
Holding nothing back
in order to behold
the mystery we contain,
inhabit,
are.

We do not achieve that 
by way of achievement,
by way of accomplishment,
by way of acquisition,
by way of attainment,
by way of awards,
by way of possession,
by way of success,
by way of victory...

We become who we are
by being who we are
in relationship with ourselves
in the dance of life
within the moment of living
here/now,
at one with the flow,
in spontaneous response
to what is called for
in each situation as it arises,
when/where/how it is called for,
exactly as the script would have been written,
and the scene directed,
if there had been a script,
if there had been a director,
but there is only us,
here/now,
dancing eternally
through the moments
of time and space.

"There is only the dance" (TS Eliot).
