Something about our poverty?
Do we want to do something about our poverty?
:- Doug.

What if we were to live the life of Jesus in our lives? Would we be willing to give up our jobs and families and walk about the countryside speaking truth and love to people? Would we trust G*d to turn over everything to him? Is it scarier to give up our whole way of life for years and our picture of ourselves for ever than to lay down our life in a day?
:- Doug.
Micro conversations can be a counterpart to micro credit: what if we could encourage people to converse in little groups, to take charge of their lives, jointly, in little snatches, and spread these micro conversations to thousands and thousands? Here is where the pyramids and circles work, because there is an infinite set of permutations and each one is creative (not additive, not multiplicative, not geometric). It is not zero sum, where one gathers at the expense of another: all benefit. Not just individually but in our interwoven whole.
:- Doug.
Every day something
calls me to the main business
of my soul
every day something gets in the way
which may be the main business
:- Doug.

shed a story
Beauty is in the eye of the times:
look around
Goodness responds:
crack open a right or a wrong
