Footprints in the Wind^sm # 1179

Enjoy this life as it comes to you
Sneaking in its little happinesses
Hiding them between daily sorrows and tasks

Please pass it on.

In this country we are fixated on death, and as a bad thing. It might be whole-making. We so fear death that our only pictures are of debilitation, even when we hear stories of people dying peacefully, perhaps with families gathered round.

:- Doug.

How many of us, how many times, choose the easy way out, not to engage in life, not to ask the tough question, not to stay longer in the face of another, not to meet, not to climb out of our couch, walk out from under our roof?

:- Doug.

Seek not balance
& its continual work
but a meeting place
where we assimilate each other
& ourselves transcend

:- Doug.

Death is a sin
against the one whose other
name is life

:- Doug.

In life, we cannot be too
Fixed or Final
Life is too alive

:- Doug.
