each at stake
We are each the stake
and humanity itself at risk
each time we roll the dice to converse

Be at home
all that’s required of you
is to go while insecure
:- Doug.
Start afresh each morning
This work of conversing requires
It will not come to me
I must go out and meet
At least open my gate
:- Doug.
Sharing a table
Opens us to sharing
Your most real and mine
Food for body
For souls, healing
:- Doug.
Go for the whole, the heart, their sacred essence. Hear, see, engage each one’s higher capacities. Not as doing to, as meeting, unsure with unsure.
:- Doug.
Answering, closing: our deadening desire to control
Questioning, opening: curiosity’s dissonance
:- Doug.

Throws questions in my
Face, opens doors to strangers,
Casts my life to ground
:- Doug.
The miracle I bring—conversation
You bring some too
:- Doug.
Love one another?
No, we must go deeper—
Hear one another
See one another
One—we are
Another—like you—
Parcel with this one
:- Doug.
Listen for fellow possibilities.
:- Doug.
