Finding God in our hearts and not needing our neighbors to remind us to know the Lord is not something which will be given us. We need to work for it. We need to work until we see that God is in our neighbors’ hearts. And then we will feel the pulsing.

:- Doug.

O Lord where are you?
Where am I?
It does not matter
For we are moving
Toward each other
Within each other

:- Doug.

We have a system which tends to run on its own. The system might be our life or our business, where we keep doing the same things repeatedly: Monday we go back to work, do certain tasks till the end of the work day then go home. Repeat four more days, then take a two-day break. If left alone, like a clock the system winds down. Yet we can think of new things to do to change it—talk to new people and try a new task or way to do a task. A little change makes a big change we feel. We get excited by possibilities and what is actually different. This hope of change gives body to change.

We imprison our grandchildren in a world of 6-foot cells when we spread hate in our marching and screaming and refusing to meet.
