Jesus was at least an example for us.

:- Doug.

To take up our cross we often see as a burden to carry to our own execution. Maybe we can see it as an invitation to die to our old ways, our ego perhaps and go through that seeming wall to our new life.

Some silences bring mystery
a blanket this
to wrap ourselves within

:- Doug.

Now may we carry this awareness of the silence into our day.

:- Doug.

Profundities abound
Silence, mistakes
Who can say?

:- Doug.

Let us look at the same thing so we may together converse.

:- Doug.

Some parts of you will never be able to keep up with the silence.

:- Doug.

Our reflections can address What is it we are about, now? They can also show us a threshold: a dying appropriate if we are to become elders.

:- Doug.

A conversation needs a ground for being. For that it needs at least these two: It needs an energy. It needs a subject for that energy. Shared. An open door and a desire to step through. One of us must give some color and fragrance to what’s on the other side of the door so the other will want to step.

:- Doug.

Stop talking so much! Converse!
