We the Choir Gather and We Learn to Sing Together

[Patrick]

I'm probably making too much out of this, but the point I was labouring to make is about the surrendering of self to the endeavour.  For example, you can't just "have children," you have to dedicate a good chunk of self, not to yourself, but to the "project."  For a soul alone in the desert, this may be more apparent.  The verbiage in that quote--the putative subject of this thread--doesn't carry that depth for me.  That's my feeling about it.   That's all.

I guess that for wanderers at least, coming down here is pretty much that, whatever one does.  The whole incarnation being such a dedicated endeavor.
