sui géneris (a) a class alone, unique, peculiar

If you keep telling people who they are, who their best selves are, if you keep reminding them of their true identity, there’s a good chance they’ll figure out what to do.*
Rob Bell

You get to decide your uniqueness,
Beyond,
More than,
Biology, sociology and psychology:
Thus Karl Jaspers calls the being of man a
‘deciding’ being,
not something that simply ‘is’ but something
that first decides ‘what it is.’**

We are discerning this today
more comprehensively than ever, but, perhaps,
There is more understanding to come, helping us to
avoid jumping from one labeled box into another;
And who we are is never to be separated from
what we do, the
unique and peculiar beauty each person
brings into the world.
