Footprints in the Wind^sm # 1490

We are caught up in news that tells us all the bad things going on. The reporters and producers and ad execs are tied even more tightly. Have compassion for them. Maybe we can see through. If you watch the news actively, can it be a way to develop your skills in compassion? Increase the quantity of compassion in the world?

Please pass it on.

This eternal beginning
This eternal living

:- Doug.

I will tell something important that happened in my life. I will not continue until I feel my way into the emotion of that moment.

:- Doug.

Today I realized that there were some contraries or tensions in the words I have been using: generating-inviting; circulating-freeing; ventilating-calling. The last not so much tension. “Without contraries is no progression.” Generating and inviting progress to welcoming. Circulating and freeing progress to acting together. Ventilating and calling progress to gathering.

:- Doug.

Is the power of God this power?

:- Doug.

There is a hubris in
keeping ourselves as Quakers
as Americans
as thinkers
pure

:- Doug.

Let yourself
sit a beat
with this

:- Doug.

I am not equal of God
But God is equal of me

:- Doug.

Words fail because they are of the left brain, the intellect. Pictures might tell more.
