Counterintuitively, the space grows larger…
Where two or more beings
draw closer
to the extent the space
in between becomes
focused
it grows
large and
fecund.

Not the ex-stream of “All for society”
Not the ex-stream of “I’m the only one who matters”
Rather the wideness of sharing.
Between, the richly colorful:
Back and forth a new river flows
Exploring, exploring,
Touching you, touching me,
Touching–being–a common hurt-nerve.
Here fecundity
Lives
And we grow–
Gardens on broad islands–
A new mind and heart–
Of which we all are essential parts.
In the stream of life we can
Stand, be swept along, or
Become flow.
Please pass it on.

Wednesday is creation day
Wednesday is creation day. Today: How shall I be creative? How shall I touch creation?

Are goals externalist and violent?
Are goals externalist and violent? Certainly they put the emphasis on what happens out there, on a measuring stick of some sort, rather than on growth and satisfaction. Violent? To the extent that they beat us into a mold and put blinders on us to a keep us on a certain track, they surely are….
