Work As Fundamental Interaction

The more that I am delving into a discussion of work it seems to me that there is less and less a distinction that can be made between loving and work--or, should I say that how we express ourselves in relationships is how we work?

Is there really any difference between the ways in which we work and deal with our ability to interact effectively with 'a world' around us and the manner in which much the same plays out in our intimate engagements with others? Isn't work itself a form of intimacy?

The primary ethos of the writings on this blog is centered around the syntegral (synonymous and integrated) aspects of love and work, play and work, love and death, and life and loss... and it is beginning to become apparent to me that there is always already a non-duality that exists in relation to these. That it is not our duty to make love and work more integrated but to realize the ways in which they already. It means to see and better understand the 'patterns both conscious and unconscious' that in-form both our loving and our working.

Hi E-buddha,

I did confess a while back that I was going to be a 'dreamer' and speak from a more idealized perspective. Too much 'realism' can get a man down ya know?? ; o )

Besides, having a child soon has seemed to reawaken the Dreamer in me who wants to see a world where human potential is more easily realized on a wider scale---you know, that 'greatest depth for the greatest span' ala Ken Wilber-schtick!! ; o)
