The two lines of the Japanese character hito,
one short and one long,
lean on each other and represent the mutual support
of every relationship imaginable—
whether of small stature or large,
all things in creation depend on each other.
It is through these relationships,
both within and around us,
that we assist each other and experience
the fullness of life.
