Violence seeks to make some other less than whole. Seek wholeness.

You told me once
But I forgot
Does money buy a happy life
Or does a happy life buy us
All the money we’ll ever want?

:- Doug.

Sometimes I think all about us is a wonderful story: science and technology will make life better, enough money will make us happy. & then I realize that money does not buy us a happy life, that it’s just the opposite: a happy life buys us all the money we want.

:- Doug.

Play in earnest.

:- Doug.

Conversation carries a sacred function. It bears a generative force, for what we can speak can be; what we hear can be. Conversation is holy work because it is about hearing hope out into the open where it can go to work. It is about hearing our own voices and those of others. Story, hope, hearing, supporting, participating, creating: this is conversation’s progression. These, done consciously, are holy, yes?

:- Doug.

When we say something is cultural we mean it is invisible. We man also our part in creating it is invisible.
