Footprints in the Wind^sm # 1756

As we become elders, we become less and less, more and more. Less physical, more real, expanding, more diffuse with each breath, a morning mist blending into the sunlight, floating on the breeze. Often mist-ified, sometimes mist-ical.

Please pass it on.

What is the small disturbance that can work on feedback loops to change our hearts?

:- Doug.

Can we change it around?

:- Doug.

That our situation seems overwhelming and impossible tells us that our problems are interlocked. This is good news. For the corollaries are first that small disturbances can bring about breakthroughs, and second that a complex answer best matches a complex world. We need all of us especially however different, and all of our ideas. Pulling together.

This has practical application, especially when spouses argue.

:- Doug.

We can kill the woman with whom we disagree. We can lock out of the house our 4 year old for disobeying. We can ethnically cleanse our country. It is possible for something to be logical without making sense.

:- Doug.

In this century the United States has an opportunity to finally become a civilized nation. So far, the chances look slim.
