Holy now!

Beloved community now

If we won’t have the future now, when?
:- Doug.
Further always further we can go
the road is created by
the meeting of our feet
:- Doug.
Offer
Offer the deeper waters
Offer your hand
:- Doug.
Trees—trees live a long time
Longer than us
Some longer than our species
Flowers—flowers were around before us
Insects before them—consider the
Delicate butterfly
Their rhythms, their beats
Hear—hear their music
The beats slower, the stillnesses longer
The day and the weather matter little
:- Doug.
Good conversation has a beginning, a muddle, and a next.
:- Doug.
Going beyond the root of a question, conversation opens us to the unexpected third option. New thinking, new people, new milieus: we can see further than a room full of mes.
:- Doug.
Much of our talking together focuses on closure and completion: let’s reach a decision so we can move on. But to what? Would you place focus on closure and completion raising a child? Would you think of death and graves and life goes on? Or of a lifetime of open possibilities?
