Invite people to find their way
I invite people to find their way.
:- Doug.

I am disorganizing our community nervousness around the last chapter.
:- Doug.
Exchange of information &
Exchange of fellow-feeling
Are the smaller flecks of gold
Panned from conversation’s stream
It takes the hard work of love
The mother lode to invent
(Indeed, both meanings here!
To create and
To find)
Our responses
Our who-we-are-together
Our very selves
:- Doug.
Even though this is love at work, don’t think that in this conversation you are only exchanging information. (I love this word invent for two of its meanings: one means create; a second much older meaning sounds strange to our ears: it means to find) You are inventing your responses, your who-we-are-together, and your very selves.
:- Doug.
