My neighbor got out her
motorcycle this fine spring day
it’s not just the boys who have toys

:- Doug.

Maybe my contribution is to take this question of conversation deeper than ever before, fiercely chase it to feral unexplored lands where I might cease.

:- Doug.

Participate! Participate!
Dance to the
Light of the silvery
One

:- Doug.

Participation is conversation

:- Doug.

The gist of life
is to engage
to participate with

:- Doug.

If work is the only thing
you can think to do
how shackled!

:- Doug.

If money is the only thing
you can think to give away
how poor!

:- Doug.

Poetry’s higher
calling weaves our attention
bird taps our window

:- Doug.

Want to weave the larger, larger into my hours and minutes. Today I am a weaver.

The weaving is to bring my attention to the whole, the larger, larger. I am weaving my attention, ours. Let us attend, let us hear, let us be aware, conscious. Let us beknow, be alert.

:- Doug.

We cannot put conversation into words
Still, we can practice conversing

:- Doug.

We study and reflect on conversation
Learning to do it well
Should that be our goal?
Ought we have any goal
Or simply a practice?

:- Doug.
