The wind
the all about us
the swirling
pray here
meet here

:- Doug.

What we do today, here, is setting the world to right spinning. We do in the minute tasks and large efforts what we can. Yes, the single monk or nun in the cell keeps the world centered on its axis. Yes, the mighty efforts of the reformer and the martyr keep the world turning in the right direction. Yes, our daily cleaning and caring and keeping our eyes on what matters are of this world-tending order as well. This is beyond despair and beyond hope: our whole-making small and large, in our moments and in our decades. We are momentarily whole-making.

Not knowing:
a normal state of life
& a service
to our world

:- Doug.

On the way in I was opening to all the people going to work, going to loving the others of us, even if they were not aware they were loving, all the things people are going through in their lives, grief, pain, medical worries, marriages, births, problems, joys, all of human life. And all of this is of God, God in action. And so the question, am I loving enough? What are my opportunities to be more loving? Whom can I hear? And in this, I am partaking of the eternal, the infinite, the connected.

:- Doug.

How am I not loving enough?
This is not to bring up guilt but
to examine with hope my opportunities
