RECIPROCAL UNIQUENESS
RECIPROCAL UNIQUENESS
Each person is unique, being one of a kind, meaning that each knows what the next does not know; has what the next does not have; can do what the next cannot do.
That uniqueness makes us equal to every grain of sand, particle of soil, leaf, snowflake, or drop of water. Though still singly unique, hence, distinguishable, these inanimate denizens of earth are yet fungible.
Uniqueness is a marvelous thing. So too is fungibility marvelous !
Being each so wondrously unique, therefore, of sheer necessity we have much to gain from our fellow humans, as well as from our fellow inhabitants of our blessed earth and similarly they of us reciprocally.
