This world of family is unreliable and perilous. We cannot find a path to it that works every time (only one out of it). Moreover we cannot guarantee ourselves positive outcomes in every meeting. Not even reality. We only know this world is the only path to reality and wholeness, and we will somehow not survive unchanged. We will be wrung out, combined and found to be a new person, with tinges of the holy.

Family conversation starts with a choice of observation point: relation or separation, presence or memory, one among or difference, real persons to meet or others to control.
:- Doug.
Sharing of selves happens by giving without trying to take to myself. We share being that belongs not solely to either of us. We get to family by working on the thread between and among us. The subject can be anything: as long as we share breaths: as long as we are Thou to each other. Here is holy space.
:- Doug.
