Observe and you might catch yourself in subtle new ways of relating.

:- Doug.

Makes sense
Whatever you think about is
Where your mind is drawn
Someone observed that people making
Large responsibility-taking gifts
Seemed thereafter to grow in wealth
Think of giving in terms of money
Then money is where your mind fixates
Think of giving selflessly
To do a part of the whole
And you are wealthy beyond money

:- Doug.

Genius is everywhere
In how you hug to you your grandchild
In her laugh, his wink, their work
Everyone in some way creative, original
Whatever your art form
Put your speciality there

:- Doug.

Reach out and
Stir the storm

:- Doug.

Art is giving
Take no purse
The worker is entitled
To his or her meal and bed
All for your art
Giving makes us whole
Adds not subtracts

:- Doug.

Extend your hand
Extend your reach
Grasp give or hug

:- Doug.

Today I am announcing
a new world order
I can you know
so can you
The world resists
that is its right
that is its duty
Together we make
the world order
All together now

:- Doug.

Do you really exist
and bring into being
a hundred interrelations?
Or do the relations bring you
use you
and then dispose of you?
Is such the true nature of
birth and death?

:- Doug.

Sleep keeps us
from rushing off
and doing something
