What is the role of courage in conversation? Courage is necessary to enter into conversation, for we suspect that in a twinkling we may be offered the opportunity to change. We may be found out. Conflict is inevitable. Conversation generates courage.

We have a responsibility for the way we see the world: how we exercise this responsibility changes the world—for centuries to come.

Life is exciting. I try to communicate that to a generation too bent on chasing a to do list to notice.

My work is people among people. The beginning level is money, property and things; the advanced level is spirit, intercourse and action; the most advanced level is G*d.
:- Doug.
How then shall we live? In community. Doing what our hand finds to do, and doing that with all our presence. Doing our being. Doing our meeting with G*d and with persons. Being. Fully, wholly being, here and now.
:- Doug.
We are given the power of creation: to use, not to lament. We are given the power of conversation: to meet, not to shrink.
:- Doug.
We can do better: that’s why we’re here. We are here not for our own soul’s salvation but the world’s redemption, growth, becoming new.
:- Doug.
Conversation starts with commonality or polarity. It is nurtured by curiosity or story or other means by which persons open. The world flowers, changes, as persons see more. Both commonality and polarity are needed: their intercourse produces relation and difference, constituents of creativity, work and all radical change. Contrariety is meat of the nut of relation.
