Footprints in the Wind^sm # 951

The frog says to itself: Oh! There is danger coming! The only escape is hyper-space mode. Here I go! Whew! Never know where I will be when I come out of hyper-space, it’s always someplace new and unexpected. But out of range of the danger.

Please pass it on.

You have something in you, you together, that you are not seeing. It is divine, this something, and it is released not in one person, but in between and among you. This something shows itself in passion and energy and living full tilt, giving all you’ve got, using you up, nothing left over, nothing held back, using you up!

:- Doug.

There is a flow to life. It is not the woo-woo of people who say that you will attract something. It is that life wants to well up in you. When you are a tight little ball, only reaching out to grab for yourself, you are dead and dying. Reaching out to give another person what they want and need as a human turns you into one, too, brings you alive.

Then you see things you could never have seen before. Then you feel things. Life opens its flower in your hand.

:- Doug.

This is the meaning of love: sticking your neck out for another. For nothing in return: just for being human. Just in return for all that people have done for you, whether you see it or not. Just to be human, to show that you are part of the family.

:- Doug.

Here is the offer: give. Give together. Hear each other. Share your story. Be vulnerable. Dare unknowing going. Life will flow through you. Life you can’t understand if you are thinking only about your next meal and how hungry you are. This is about being part of the whole, the larger whole.

:- Doug.

Do the work, then you are paid. Giving comes first.
