Making patterns
this is life
in process
forming substance
from conversation
:- Doug.
Patterns we detect forming
color here curiosity there
openings openings
:- Doug.
In our community, what are the questions people face? What conversations would be good to have?
:- Doug.
We can target our thinking work around a common question. We can feel the common pull and the help of other strong arms. We can hear the melody our ideas make. We can step back and grasp the larger. Poetry and heavy lifting in the same space. Bridging gaps and obstacles. Making third possibilities.
:- Doug.
There’s not a problem in the world that people, fighting without hearing one another, cannot make worse.
:- Doug.
We discover one another
Then I discover myself we’ve added
Discovered powers of persons
:- Doug.
We avoid meeting God
with our many words, songs
we could have been empty, receptive
:- Doug.
There is a certain hubris in goal-setting: we bet we know what’s best for us, our lives, and what effect we can have on others. So we won’t be deterred. Purpose is softer, leaving room.
