The still point beneath all turning: like the still point of neither inhaling nor exhaling, it is here where we most profoundly meet, here, the place of the glance, of being seen, of hearing and realizing we are of one flesh.

As our conversing, so the world. We talk about wars or we talk about helping one another: whatever our conversing grows. Do we want beatings to continue, or babies to grow and play?
:- Doug.
Conversing is not words
Conversing is meeting
another sentient being
Conversing is the still point beneath
the still point of all turning.
:- Doug.
Worship means service. The root for the words from which we take our notion of worship means to serve God. We serve God by praising, but we also serve by hearing. “They also serve who only sit and wait.” So it is truly service, truly worship, to sit in silence in Meeting.
:- Doug.
