THE FLOW

THE FLOW Nature is genetic. Nurture is culture. Each plays its part in personal and interpersonal growth, harmony, and development. Together, they contribute to a person's and to a people's well-being, kindred or not. These are not alone. There is also the environmental: both the temporal, as in a given time, and the contextual, as in a given space. So, genetics and culture are further mediated and modulated in a person and in a people, kindred or not, by time and space, the environmental. Nature, culture, time, and space are not static facts, but dynamic energy. They are part of that same energetic stream, or flow, that produced and yet produces the stars, galaxies, and all else that is or was or ever shall be. In the ultimate sense, therefore, there is, cosmologically, no we, no you, no me. Neither, given infinity, is there an Earth, Sun, or Milky Way. There is only "Being" into which, out of which, always part of which, all things flow.THE FLOW Nature is genetic. Nurture is culture.
