How we earn our living
We all earn our (right to go on) living by engaging our world.
:- Doug.

Your can-play-dom is opening within me, your dream is dreaming in me, and I in them….
:- Doug.
When you lose your particularity
you become unique
you fill the now-all
you are not one
out of many
you confront me
my all is engaged by you
perhaps because our we is one
:- Doug.
We don’t need to speak to
audiences of thousands
just those close enough
for us to hear
:- Doug.

other ways to be
things to do than
look forward to the big game on TV
watch the clock till 5:00
involving not yourself in others’ lives
leaving them to their own problems
each to his own
whatever
keeping your nose out
leaving politics to the politicians
and injustices to the reporters
“Holy! Holy! Holy!” sang the Seraphim
Meaning “Other! Other! Other!”

Go to where the acting is

Go among those being acted upon
Go to meeting
Go for meeting

What is “Take up your bed and walk” to us?
Those who would be healed, be whole
Must participate
They must create their own jobs
Own health
& walk on healed and whole
It is not all done for us
Even the miracle asks of us
Response
Not all by the pool were healed
Only those who engaged
Angel or healer
:- Doug.
Can we get beyond a fear of (being rejected for) intruding to a joy of togethering?
:- Doug.
Goals seek the end of things
their death
We seeks
the eternal centering
the eternal birthing
the eternal readying
:- Doug.
How do I to you respond with my life, respond out of our between? How do I come toward you to touch, open to being touched? And yet to say How is to stop response. Stand. In presence stand. Standing while coming toward. This is all.
:- Doug.
You who live in your wallet and in your controlling are living in a dry world, ever falling in upon itself.
:- Doug.
Today is getting work done day, getting things out of my hair. So I want to open to you through the day, during my moments, all of them. Stand open to you, write open to you, move my hands open to you, walk open to you.
:- Doug.
You, truly spoken, has no borders. There is no individual and we do not end at our skins. We are without limits (a goal is a way of limiting us). We are infinite. We blend into each other. We contain galaxies of other beings, universes, cosmoses unknown, inviting us to explore. We are firmaments.
:- Doug.
God meets me this way
may meet you another
each in our own ways of perceiving
:- Doug.
