We hold divinity
In the palm of our hand
Releasingly or suffocatingly

:- Doug.

To Walt, body is soul
To me, human-kind and God
Adjectival
Modifying the moving
Breath

:- Doug.

Footprints in the Wind^sm # 1506

We have seasons
We pass through them
Or they pass through us
No matter which
Now we are faced with this
Non ease which will end us
Compel us in snowy cold
To remove our garment of skin and hair
To gather around fires of family and love
To see how we might
Together
Get through another
Season

Please pass it on.

adjective
not substantive
G
human-kind
same stuff

:- Doug.

I say G and human-kind
are not equal
but the same

:- Doug.

Saying nouns equal spirit/adjective
is a difficulty
when we see clearly
humans and G
same substance

:- Doug.

Is this Heartland or Hateland?

:- Doug.

The will to meet
—the grand will—
is all that’s needed
ways and means—fate’s tools—puny beside
destiny stands in need of meeting

:- Doug.

There are no words. Humanity is ~.

:- Doug.

Humanity may be God in the raw, in gestation, in coming into being.

:- Doug.

Well then, what have I seen, what do I need to say, what is my truth, no backing away from it?

:- Doug.

Humanity is meeting

:- Doug.

Let us write lists of our dying
Things important even significant
Dare to see the larger
Maybe it will be poetry
Our life as poem

:- Doug.

All is moving
Turning
You are here to turn

:- Doug.

Come, be heard

:- Doug.

Spontaneous the day
Throw yourself all in
On a heart-thorn

:- Doug.

To stand in the other’s open presence
Is the same as
To open your vulnerable self

:- Doug.

I think I was looking for the magic word, again. Get to the meat.

:- Doug.

What is the best we could hope here?
What can we do towards that?
What is the most human, the most loving thing, here?

:- Doug.

No I do not want to be so in your face: I’d much rather be in your soul.

:- Doug.

You know what is beautiful and good and true here. Can you figure out what this is? Do the thing your essence tells you to do.

:- Doug.

What is the best that should happen now? Why don’t you see to it?

:- Doug.

True invitation is a promise to hear.

:- Doug.
