Footprints in the Wind^sm # 661

Let me ask you some simple questions: Who organizes the rain drops? What is the geometry to prescribe the changing shapes of a cloud? Who among you assigns what each family brings to a potluck? What human hand planted the forests already ancient when humankind first appeared? What board governed the start of the Internet? Can you direct what will excite and interest each of your friends; would you ever want to?

Please pass it on.

It is important that we do what we can—all that we can. We are able to do more than we think, especially when we are with people who like us have tasted the power of a community doing.

The work of conversation is drawing out from each other our light. Here we dare to glimpse a new earth and a new heaven.

Footprints in the Wind^sm # 660

We are seeing a bigger world–our neighbor in pain, peace in the clutches of angry combatants, nature at risk, our children to the seventh generation also at risk. At the same time we are seeing a bigger inside–our psyche, our spirits, our oneness with all creation, our relations to the divine. It all adds up to bigger possibilities, bigger futures that extend beyond what we know. Conscious evolution? Maybe. Or maybe something larger.

Please pass it on.

Our scriptures reveal more to us of us than they do of divinity. They tell us how we think of the sacred, and so reveal only snatches of what is real. What is real is always much larger.
