Footprints in the Wind^sm # 1118

Invitation is slow: our constant desire for speed can get in our way. Moving toward worth is slow, so are stories shared. Talking like we never have before is slow and most efficient: it gets us to the pulse within.

Please pass it on.

The city is venue for holy work.

Why can you not take 3 days to get to better life, justice, community? What do you fear? What do you think conversation is doing? It is true conversation is a waste of time (you are willing to “waste” a day or half a day, why not 2 ½?) if we are talking like we usually talk. But if we are talking like we never have before, then the time is concentrated and we are more productive than we could be in 6 months. We can guarantee you the opportunity and the invitation to talk like you never have before.

:- Doug.

If Conversation and Love are the same thing, and if Justice and Love are the same thing, then Justice is Conversation, Conversation Justice.

:- Doug.

Conversation is slow (3 days!? We can’t take that much time!), is merciful and accepting and gathering of all voices, and is nonviolent because it gets beyond calcification and screaming.
