Sometimes we talk
Sometimes we talk together

:- Doug.

Turning shatters.

:- Doug.

Mixture
All is
Divine and human
Amalgam
New form of God in the world
We shape
The other

:- Doug.

To speak
To write
To understand
Means
To modify

:- Doug.

Reflection can do more than make us into an It: can lead us to conversation.

:- Doug.

Not the end points
human and divine
that are the stuff
rather betweening
spokes make the wheel

:- Doug.

We walked out of the meeting different persons—and could not explain how.

:- Doug.

Everything is moving, see?
The nature of our movement, see:
Using, experiencing, turning away—
Or dancing with, occasionally?

:- Doug.

There is an actuality of immediacy.

:- Doug.

The more interleaved our memories between rational and emotional, the less we can recall sequence and precise words. If we wish to, we might start from the direction of emotions, picking apart those threads first. Then we might open a clear line of sight to chronology and word flow.

:- Doug.

Differentiating
we find of each, strength
and in them alikenesses

:- Doug.

Disclosed, not fully revealed
Human to human, being to being
A melancholy with possibility

:- Doug.

Let’s meet

:- Doug.

When Jesus said “Not my will”
He reached his highest effect
Inviting us to do same

:- Doug.

Unreliable
Perilous
—Relating—
Nor density
Nor duration
Nor surveyed
Only met

:- Doug.

Our chapter is the middle of the story.

:- Doug.

You are really heard
It really mattered
That’s what humans do

:- Doug.

Let us work
that ours might be the way
every way holds consummating
every consummating
eternally preluding

:- Doug.

Emerging
We bring something new to birth
—Creating—
Meeting:
Holy

:- Doug.

Holy:
Wholly present and same
To the holy our claim
Distributed, far from diffuse:
Whole

:- Doug.

We are living
Within
Living moving breathing

:- Doug.

Perhaps approach this other person and say I was hurt. Be available. Be present. Offer and welcome.

:- Doug.

What could the next chapter be? I can be warm and open and conversational. I can meet with my whole being open. Vulnerably. No goals, no treating others as It. Only as Thou.

:- Doug.
