Not sacrifice
But a fair share

:- Doug.

We live in times of change so rapid our heads want to spin—or go take a nap. Has this sensation happened in other eras? When and to whom? Was it meaningful when it did?

:- Doug.

We were blind
We did not see
All the lights
In which we walked
But now…?

We need to disorganize our thinking
—especially the part where we puzzle it out alone
Look in & look out through new paradigms
together we see more
If we are to get somewhere new
Does everyone have enough?
Does everyone love enough?
Do we We enough?

:- Doug.

There is a paradigm at work, a point of view, which says there is someone who holds the keys and is keeping them from us. Our jailer is ourselves. There is always something we can do: a brow to cool, a load to help carry. It is said by some that when creation was done, God’s light shattered and the shards were spread all over the world. Each creature had or was part of that light. We each, each!, reflect that light, carry that light. It does not take a very big mirror, nor even highly polished, to show the sparkle. So the question is, are we using our light? Are we willing to put it to work? Will we get up off the couch even when we are dog tired and do our part?

Our part is our essence. It is different for each of us. Since we were given life, we were given, as our minimum gift, creativity. We can make something happen. But that does not mean we do it alone. All the others have a piece of that divine light and it will take us working together—wherever two or three of us are gathered—to put that divinity among us to work.
