:- Doug.

The profound times
of our lives together
this is where I work
back and forth we pass
our wisdom, poetry, and love
staying lively in the nursing home
living our dying
those who will cry
sharing laughter
in these nows
facing quick arising crises
trying to hang on
to our humanity
times of healing with one another
when there will be no curing
these are our work and times
together

:- Doug.

Become aware of what you’re doing. Become aware of what the universe around you is doing. This is meditation/contemplation.

Do we put a leash on G, only allowing G to go so far?

:- Doug.

William James wrote “At bottom, the whole concern of religion is with the manner of our acceptance of the universe.”

Acceptance. Can we accept G? G comes to us in the form of the universe, from 2 x 4s to people to weather to planets to black holes to the vanishingly small to probabilities instead of certainties. Can we accept? Do we need certainty? Even though we yearn for it? Is there good in freedom? Can we accept our own freedom? Can we accept the foaming frothing sea of freedom of G?
