Gone now. Remembered.
What is fire? It is neither wood, nor oxygen, nor heat, nor light. It is activity. Activity engaging these making these. Leaping. Here now. Gone now. Remembered. Imagined.

Will the campfire tell?
What stories we never heard will the campfire draw forth from our ancestral memories through our lips?
Deeper into the night, what stories will the campfire itself tell us?
:- Doug.
300 year stories
What stories will the 300 year grandchildren-elders tell? Will they speak of us? Of a great shuddering?
:- Doug.
View a future
We have projected current trends in many fields into the future. Now it is time to view a future discontinuous with our dominant culture.
:- Doug.
Smarter than our ancestors?
Are we smarter than our ancestors of 300 years ago? Have we gone deeper, further? Might we?
:- Doug.
Intimacy as basic
If I am seeing conversation, intimacy as basic, then participation in creating and enacting (bringing forth) grows from that soil.
:- Doug.
Entwine two stories
See how the movies tend to entwine two stories, following to their common source. Could this be a model of the workings of a relationship with those beyond our time?
:- Doug.
sight across generations
Knowing spiritual events are multi-local, we can open our sight lines across the generations.

Footprints in the Windsm # 1798
If we are going to make a world hospitable for the grandchildren, it won’t be through physical constructs like planned cities, technological devices, drugs, even cyborgs. Rather it will be re-designing, or rather re-finding, the human coeur.

Footprints in the Windsm # 1797–The little tree dances
Footprints in the Windsm # 1797
The little tree envied the dancing of the little goats and lambs, kittens and puppies. In a wind her mama leaned over and whispered “You may; with the breezes!” And so she danced wildly with each breeze which came along, spinning it lightly, tossing her many many arms all about! What joy! And all the trees around clapped their hands!

Why they will live
Elders are concerned not only with how the grandchildren will live, but why they will live as they will.
:- Doug.
When you caught glimpse
When you caught glimpse of us all as grandchildren, when you caught glimpse of the string of grandchildren on a long necklace, then you were of the long view, of the super human, of the elder.
:- Doug.
What in life is the value?
Whom do you want deciding your end of life? Deciding what? What does this tell the grandchildren about what in life is the value? Tell the grandchildren…what in life is the value?
:- Doug.
