In your conversation
Be all there.

:- Doug.

To write well, I need to seek myself in my writing.

:- Doug.

Depression is a failure of imagination.
Despairing is a failure of imagination.
War is a failure of imagination.
Settling, seeing yourself stuck are too.
I think you may have unplugged yours.

:- Doug.

The substance of the person is her imagination.

:- Doug.

What we have here is a conversation of imaginations!

:- Doug.

A person at war
with the world is at war
with himself. Pray for him.

Please pass it on.

Imagination is dangerous territory! You could wreck there, die, or worse: be stewed by cannibals (there are cannibals).

:- Doug.

We are wandering a continent of consciousness, surrounded by a sea of conversation, surrounded also by islands and continents of others, all in regions marked “Here there be dragons.” Some have been wrecked and even lost. How do we know but other peoples, peaceful and kindly, know dragons to be benign?

:- Doug.

Start from rational: if we want to go to uncharted territory we have to leave charted behind. We may call ourselves brazen, others may call us foolish, or anarchists, or traitors, or atheists. For our part we have to keep from going over to the crazy.

:- Doug.

Will we let fear of our powers stop us? What are our powers?

:- Doug.

I am not forgetful. I know you. I just can’t remember.

:- Doug.

A conversation can
be a Vision

:- Doug.

When I read better stuff, I write better stuff.

I see nothing more in you than you could see, but I see, I work to see, I roll in, my imagination.

:- Doug.

Is my interpretation of my Vision the final? Never! It is only mine. But it is my act preparatory to my acting.

:- Doug.

Vision and conversation
Each a time alive
With raw material

:- Doug.

We are about revealing the sinews
between conversation and
the all that is

:- Doug.

I want to jump up and down,
dance & shout!
What? I don’t know! It’s grand!
Let it out! Run & play!
This is life!

:- Doug.

Would idea density in my speech patterns help someone with Alzheimer’s?

:- Doug.

Think you to recapture your Vision?
To hold it near, clutch it?
Nay!
It is a living thing, fleeting,
the moment arriving, departing.
Live into the next moment.
Life loves, that is all.

Please pass it on.

The more nothing is in you
and your seeing-through
the more friend is there

:- Doug.

There is a speed of the engine
and a speed along the road
Which do you slow for friends?

:- Doug.

The end of every story is silence.

:- Doug.
