Footprints in the Wind^sm # 943

I like purposes. One can live with purposes. Goals are ends, deaths. Purposes bring life, purposes swim and dance, purposes enable us to go unknowing. Purposes are eyes-open to obstacles and oppositions and give us the heart to continue nevertheless. Purposes can meet the changing landscape—woods and rivers, plains and mountains, uphill and down, beauty and ruggedness, people with different skins, ideas and lookout points upon the world. Purposes are Mother Teresa in Calcutta, Jesus on a cross, Gautama finding enlightenment in suffering.

Please pass it on.

Who has the problem?
Who has a piece of the response?
Is the answer simple?
Who will disagree about the response?
Are there only two possible futures?
How far apart are cause and effect?
Is there only one direction people can want to go?
Is there only one thing people are interested in?
What do we want?

From these we can get clues for the best way: do we decree the answer and institute compliance; or do we get people together to hear and create?

Not always
Do we speak our peace
To stand up to another’s face
Sometimes so we might all hear
Many stories
& become able
To dream a new

:- Doug.

You are dreaming! Dreaming us!

:- Doug.

All humans are part of the
Unfolding
Some by being the weight unfolded
Some the unfolders
