     "Being-between"  seeks to  point to that which  words
cannot point to with clarity. All particular words fail to
point  adequately,  for all words invite the  receiver  to
make inappropriate assumptions.

     "Being-between"   here does not necessarily  mean  or
point to being at a mid-point in a geometric sense. Being-
between only excludes being exclusively at either extreme.
Being-between  here does not necessarily mean or point  to
being  somewhere  on  a straight  line  running  from  one
extreme to the other extreme;  but being-between does  not
exclude   that  possibility.   Being-between  means  being
without  dichotomous  limitations.  Being-between  entails
being  free  with integrity which  transcends  dichotomous
splits.

     Just as being-between  is  not  achieved  or found by
movement  towards a dichotomous pole,  just so it  is  not
achieved  or  found  by  striving  to  move  away  from  a
dichotomous  pole.   Preoccupation with either pole  of  a
dichotomy  does  not  lead  to the  transcendence  of  the
dichotomy.  Preoccupations with dichotomies do not lead to
integrity.  Dichotomies exist; but neither dichotomies nor
their individual poles are the focus of preoccupations  of
people  who  are  being themselves with integrity  in  the
midst of many dichotomies.

                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
