Footprints in the Wind^sm # 1193

Left in the dark. Watched the earth: as she turned to face the sun; as she turned the colors of her northern woods to the colors of her southern fruits: orange and lemon and passion fruit.

Late afternoon. Now the earth turns her back to the sun and looks toward where the moon and the velvet and the lesser lights will soon be, and she looks forward to dreamtime.

Please pass it on.

It is about Now to go to my meeting. It is about Now.

:- Doug.

Babble & number & tic-toc
Babble and number & click-clock
Babble & number & click-lock
These are our gaolers
& they fear to let free our natural souls

:- Doug.

All our lives preparing
our homework
for jobs
for weddings
for parenthood
for a new career
for company
for dinner
but now we are 60 or 70 or 80
but now is it finally Now
now can we live
now can we give
what we came to give?

:- Doug.

Let’s make
this time in our lives
important

To make this moment:
First, a moment
Then, others to meet
Finally, focus on holy other

:- Doug.

Hearing energizes us, being heard especially energizes us. Being heard and hearing give us hope and invite us out to engage the world, free us, call us home.
