I remember not
What was said
But O how it was said
And that it was
This stirs me still

Pray for the patterns,
the possibilities,
the fields

:- Doug.

We are we
patterns of potentialities
potentialities of patterns

:- Doug.

The pitter-pattern
of a hundred one little cat feet
makes up
our lives in this universe

:- Doug.

“Are you God?”
“Yes, you are.”

:- Doug.

God is not discrete—nothing can separate God from us.

:- Doug.

Maybe God is dissipating—spreading God’s self further and further out.

:- Doug.

Dissipated: You are spreading, spreading, like tentacles reaching, like water poured on a floor, creating new, new You.

:- Doug.

Even when the sky is covered, there are still infinite clear possibilities.

:- Doug.

We can know velocity of our lives and our financial position and our direction, but at most two at a given time: the third will be undefinable.

:- Doug.

Context is how divinity
reveals,
is revealed

:- Doug.

First look and see what is
then especially what is not
see what it means
only then what we might do

:- Doug.

We must turn around “God is” both ways—asking “is God…?,” and getting past our fear of saying something is God. Context is God. Conversation is God. Love is God. All is God. The goo in which we find ourselves is God.

Why? Because turning these phrases around can help us see reality afresh.

We fear saying too much so we think & feel & touch too little.

:- Doug.

How might I bring peace to these quarreling persons who could love?

:- Doug.

Goals feed our wants & desires
expand endlessly & dangerously
our greed

:- Doug.

Seek to nourish widely
but to master no one

:- Doug.

Footprints in the Wind^sm # 1282

We need some agnostic politicians: people who don’t have all the answers; listeners and especially hearers; explorers; even skeptics. Certainly we do not need people out to burn others at the stake or call to inquisition those who do not believe what the politician professes. We need people who have found the art to being lost.

Please pass it on.

Poor is the person
whose wants are unmet
poor the person with goals

:- Doug.

What have you learned lately about God?

:- Doug.

Naming is necessary for order
Order is not always necessary

:- Doug.

Now: I want to float with the leaves on your breath.

:- Doug.

You are making me more whole, ever more whole, and this will continue past my death.

:- Doug.
