Do you get?
Life is about what you can give to it.

Life is about what you can give to it.
:- Doug.
Life has it all
—Why throw away any?
Tossing impoverishes
Thrower more than thrown
—What would we miss?
All serve us
We can serve all
Bottom-up, top-down
People like, not like us
Rainbows of colors, notes, dances
Laughter, tears
Light, shimmering darkness
One has many
Use all the rhythms, stories
Hearts
Hands
Heads
:- Doug.
Surprises expand my life
Possibilities complexities
Interweavings conversings
Fresh air fun
Friends companions
Brothers and sisters of heart
So why do I fear surprises?
Control constricts
Surprise opens life
:- Doug.
Tell me—
your favorite story from your life
your theme music
what you laugh about longest, deepest
your questions, your quests
about what you wonder
the complexity of your life
your little-known self
:- Doug.
You play Rocky and I’ll play Bullwinkle—let’s have a conversation about the food we’re eating!
You play Sherlock Holmes and I’ll play Dr Watson—let’s see if we can find the murderer in the room—What clues do you see?
:- Doug.
Unknowing going
Taking me to
Love seeking surprises
:- Doug.
