You must become brother and sister
to each and every thing
so that they flow through you
dissolving every difference
between what belongs to you and others.
No star, no leaf shall fall -
you fall with them -
to rise again
in every new beginning.
~ Hermann Hesse
From The Seasons of the Soul

A beautiful way to express this truth; thank you for sharing it.
A few years ago I set the intention of dissolving my boundaries, and ended up on a path where teachers and teachings just seem to appear at the right time to effect this process. Giving up the idea that the independent individual self is a reality is kind of terrifying at first, but oh brings so much clarity. You start to notice those who have this understanding and express it in their writing and speaking. The challenge is embodying it; for as long as form remains, slowly re-routing by daily practice the traits, habits and instincts that give it shape and behaviour.
