                    %REUNION THROUGH RECONCILIATION 880222

     Reunion  is the bringing together of that  which  has
been  separated.   The separation may have been a  literal
separation of parts which may never have been together but
which  naturally  belong  together;  as in  an  artificial
dichotomy.    The separation may or may not involve enmity
or  hostility,  as  between enemies on  the  one  hand  or
separated friends who have taken separate vacations.

     Reunion  is  the bringing together of that which  has
been separated.   It entails transcending whatever is  the
essence  of the separation.   In some cases the essence of
the separation  is  the  adoption of differing and perhaps
mutually exclusive ideals, values,  and conceptual systems
which block communication between  the  separated persons.
In such cases reunion entails  transcending the alienative
aspects of  the differing  ideals,   values and conceptual
systems;   it entails  the  integration of two life styles
into  a  coherent  whole  which  is free  of  tension  and
defensiveness---  in  a  life  style  which  involves  the
freedom to be vulnerable in open and honest communication.
