(Distinctions are subtleties of language that, when gotten, cause a shift in a belief, behavior, value or attitude.)


Differentiation is a life skill. Seeing differentiation adds to the richness of life experiences.

The subtle effect of a shade of paint in the painting, of a bit of spice in the recipe, a half-note in the music piece, the shifting texture of the weaving, the twinkle in the eye.

Differentiation communicates, touches, lifts, includes, embraces. As said, it adds richness to life.

Separation holds apart, judges, ranks, isolates.

Separation separates. Differentiation connects.

Wherever separation appears to be is an opportunity to see differentiation within it. Separation then disappears.
