Footprints in the Wind^sm # 1177

Every time we see something that disturbs our sensibilities about what is right and wrong, every time we notice something that makes us greater or lesser as humans, this is evidence that we are progressing. Now all we have to do is act upon our new-found realizations: say something, write something, do something larger.

Please pass it on.

We receive
We give
A respiration

:- Doug.

There is great value in what I do. I seek to make the value greater. If I seek to bestow it on you, it places on you an obligation to keep the gift moving. I bestow it not with the intention of receiving nor of placing a burden, but of giving you a spin, a role in the dance. A dance is a good picture; the movement of clouds in the sky is like it: become an integral part of the whole.

:- Doug.

Dey Dos writes “I smile when I go to sleep and I smile when I wake up.” That is soft, gentle, true.

:- Doug.

Like the street dervish, let us give us and all people opportunity to test out our generosity. How much can we shower on others?

:- Doug.
