What don’t?
What don’t we know?

Probably stop there.

Not what but that
The point of questions might be to highlight that we do not know. Not what we do not know, but that.
:- Doug.
How little you know
Wisdom is in striving to see how little you know and having compassion for yourself and all who know nothing.
:- Doug.
What do you notice?
What do you notice about your entry into elder years? What new questions are you asking?
:- Doug.
Compass points?
What are the compass points of this new quality elders find?
One is visionary. Another might be seeing bigger—generations, spirit, community. Widening circles. Asking bigger questions.

Stitches give clues
The stitches give clues
to the threading among threads
the fabric of life’s millennia

see thread and fabric
The different quality of elders is how we see our thread and the fabric of life.

Self-centeredness the first step
Self-centeredness may be a first step to self-awareness and on to consciousness and spirit.
:- Doug.
The universe more conscious

Footprints in the Windsm # 1709
Conversation is everywhere:
the grass roots with the tree roots
the tree roots with the mushrooms
the mushrooms with the night crawlers
a wriggling bunch of fish worms with the hook
hook with water
water with fish
splash with your face
wind in the dog’s face
dog’s tongue with your face
your face with sunny skies
maple leaves with winds
wind with rocks
oceans with clouds
children with mud puddles
thee with me
with words or without
bees with flowers
butterfly dancing for your eyes
the deific with the all there is
stars with moon
planets with stars
stars with galaxies
galaxies with my heart
brook with babble
tree with child climbing
grieving with tears
compost with small bacteria
bacteria with clouds
floating with dreaming
tides with the moon
