How about " boundless expression" (Manifestaion;gesture)? As in expressing
who we are, what we want, who we be... the act of being, stretched to an
unlimited capacity.
Since we are not expnading, or growing, as in literally trying to get
*bigger*.
What most mean by growth is improvement, clearly defined; expressed. We are
not intersted in paving over, or TAKING over anything, because the terrain we
seek to improve mainly resides within the self.
