There is a risk in
All of this
To stay, to go
To stay is the bigger risk
It risks your soul

Please pass it on.

A graven image is one that does not change.

:- Doug.

Bringing people together
One juicy question at a time
Seeing what happens

:- Doug.

It is not a matter of number of people who hear your message: results come not from gathering but from converging.

:- Doug.

Remember, conversation does more than transform things and add to them—it produces.

:- Doug.

There is truth and there is error in what I write: I write provisionally. I see before I see.

:- Doug.

There is a systolic and a diastolic in our meetings. Messiness rules! Both are necessary—coming together and moving out. So the way of union and wholeness is far beyond unanimity: it runs the way of converging, ever reaching for, never reaching, one mutually attractive land. This is as it should be: no two people have in mind the same exact land. The cacophony of an orchestra tuning up is the work of approaching harmony—of many distinct voices. They are never perfectly in tune, but they get close enough.

:- Doug.

It may not be accurate to say divinity moves nor that a human moves, for it implies first they are separate, second they only move separately, and third the source of the movement is from one or both. Pour two chemicals into a beaker and you get a strong action which neither takes alone—nor could.
