So, we are engaging with each other and because we
are negating on one level, it is possible to attain oneness..... do you

actually what does exist is the unity of man and woman. The unity
of man and woman exists, but if you separate man from woman, there
is no more woman or man. Because there is man there is woman.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 66-08-17 as found on shunryusuzuki.com.
