Footprints in the Wind^sm # 797

This deep blue
These leaves catching
Red fire! and burnt orange
From each other
Preparing to take flight
These ask of you
What have you done
—you who are in charge—
For our world today?

This is how the earth renews itself, how life renews itself, how we all live: through giving in small ways and large, but giving in all cases our all.

Please pass it on.

The One the all helps, can help and does. The all intends us, loves us, attends us.

:- Doug.

What will the times be like in the future when there is no more America, when these times have passed and something else has risen? More importantly, where are we headed now? What should the prophet be speaking forth? We have a work to do, let us be at it!

What is that work? To discover the work, to seek it out and to do it. To give, to sacrifice, to abandon our lives to it. To work together in this world, for this is how the world is: not fragmented islands broken off and wanting to break off from others, but fragmented islands needing to rejoin the main, to make the main, underneath the sea connected. We are swirling and the swirling weaves the main.

:- Doug.

Blinders are blunders
in a world inter-plaited
look for the openings
seek out the threads
weave yourself part

:- Doug.
