If I sing for you the song I hear
If I sing for you the song I hear
if I am a bit or a lot out of tune
do not fault me
you may sing along if you wish

There is a reach in the movement of conversation.
There is a reach in the movement conversation starts.

The unique entering the moment
There is a power in creative events, the unique entering the moment.
:- Doug.
Reaching beyond our reach and strength
Our actions set in motion a whole range of things that can extend beyond our reach and strength. This is the power of conversation, the power to start more than we can. This is the work of community disorganizing.
:- Doug.
Deeds outlive us
Conversation can start events in motion. Deeds outlive us, exceed our capacities. We have, in word exchanged, an atom waiting to be cracked for good. Our biggest work: starting movement.

More often as Question than Answer
God’s will comes to me more often as Question than Answer.
:- Doug.
God’s will comes to us as sound of still hush
God’s will comes to us as the sound of still hush: Who is in front of you? What is called for in your setting this moment?

Our learning comes at the edges of what we know.

those who are ready to see
The people at the top already know they affect the world. We must, we must work with those who are ready to see.

Our life grows out of moments more than plans.

Nobody has said it all….
Nobody has said it all. Nobody can capture significance. That’s why we need all voices in all times.

instilling a new creative moment in history
We can be about instilling a new creative event in history. All we need is one moment. Our calendars treat all hours alike, an endlessly turning wheel to which we are tied. If we are always alert to the unique entering the moment, this now can change our larger course.

we impose on God
“God’s will” we say
such a harsh hammering
image we impose on God
such a whimpering infant-like
role we impose on humans
when what we hear is
the sound of still hush
within lives we are constructing
out of wind & storm
