Whole people see and create wholeness wherever they go; split people see and create splits in everything and everybody. By the second half of our lives, we are meant to see in wholes and no longer just in parts. Yet we get to the whole by falling down into the messy parts—so many times, in fact, that we long and thirst for the wholeness and fullness of all things, including ourselves.
Is it possible that those of us who struggle with the proscribed language of equity and race do so because we are in the sec ond half and looking for wholeness rather than separateness?
