An age of money and using

Footprints in the Windsm # 1706–Dependent to sound our spirits
Footprints in the Windsm # 1706
To tell, to sound, our spirits, our spirit together co-arising, is a confluence. We are dependent upon each other to sound our spirits. Look at the need I have for other writers, poets, philosophers; look at the need to have visions and things to see, things to hear, things to ponder, spirits and Spirit and quarks and planets and flowers and birds and foxes (one was in the road last night and we swerved!) and manatees and mulberry trees.

How many betweens?
The holy emerges in us, specifically in the betweens of us. How many betweens are there with two people, with three, with eight? With eight billions? We have holiness at least here. The sacred is more all over than we had ever imagined, more.

A play retirement
A play retirement is less than meaningless to me—because perhaps I see the things at which people play as meaningless—golf, lolling on the beach, taking a cruise to islands for shopping and drinking. Yet for me, conversing, facilitating conversing, studying spirituality and philosophy—these are my play. For me there is an undeniable qualitative difference.

Start anywhere
Life is equal parts planning, improvising, chance, destiny, peril, proceeding, withdrawal, engaging, reflecting, emerging, growing, flowering, going to seed, dying, and a thousand more. Start anywhere.
