You are Part of Me

[vc_section][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]You are a part of me,
and I am a part of you.

When one reaches out to another,
then one transforms to two.

But two is never separate
from the one that it was before.

If anything, two is the possibility
of one becoming more.

And if there were no counting,
no numbers to create a wall,
when we looked in the face of one,
we would see the face of all.
