Namaste

I am meeting a stranger today who comes garbed in a role of
the workplace - a functional role - a sturdy way
of operating in the world where each knows how to
be with the other.

He comes to consult about a service.
I come to greet a friend.
He comes to augnment his income.
I come to see what might be possible beyond roles.

This work needs to be done, it is true.
But which is more important, the service to be performed
or the soul to be met.
Which is more important, the money to be spent, or not,
or the love to be given.
