I am catching glimpses of smart creatures, having been programmed with generative instructions, set out in the world, working together, touching, loving.

This is a richer world, one of more possibilities, one calling upon us to be adults and agents acting. This is a world I love. For God so loved…. This is a world in motion, but not merely in motion, loving. This is a world of colors and dimensions and dynamics yet unexplored.

We are smart, expected to make good decisions, creative decisions, within a world wide with possibilities. Our instructions are simple and few, not prescribing, only proscribing and inviting.

What can we do, turned loose?

Life prescribes no exact results, but invites within a very loose set of principles. There are instructions for making the organism, not a prescription for its exact architecture. The parts of the organism are players together in an ensemble.

:- Doug.

Like life: do whatever you are going to do like life does it, complexly, simply, lively; also make sure you are in love with life.

:- Doug.

In human dynamics, relationships can be generated or (theoretically) imposed. Thus, we need to allow for a process of generation, which requires thought and care and thus some time and space.

What do we learn from this? For one, it does not require that all relationships be worked out before hand: on the contrary it requires opportunities to adapt to one another.
