We arise of these?
Spirit, breath, wind, and mist
come and go on
understanding cannot grasp
we arise of these?
in the grasp of these?
even now worked?

To absorb open
Every one, part of the all, can teach me of the all there is, were I to absorb open.

Violence of discussion
Let us be intentional about our language, speaking of the gentle dialogue and conversing, rather than the violent discussion.

Footprints in the Windsm # 1864–After I left
Footprints in the Windsm # 1864
After I left our meeting, I had a call for an emergency appointment. The person arrived a few minutes after I got back to my office. Her husband of 40+ years was in the hospital, unconscious. The doctors said he was dying. They were doing no treatment. She wanted to take him home and care for him there with TLC and strong prayer. Let’s grant that prayer changes things. Was the husband wrong? Was his body wrong? Was the trajectory of his living towards dying wrong?
Please pass it on.

Torn heals torn
So the lesson today is to write my quest to keep going into spirit. Spirit is perhaps a stream, and there is no way to find the source and the basin draws us. Where does it go? What is useful? It goes where it goes; where it goes is good; it goes on; from there. It is useful by making us useful. It is useful by opening us.
Why and why again. Why is vulnerable opening useful? It makes us bigger, more whole. Whole becoming more.
Can I go from there? I think I can, but it is work, it is pain, it is loss.
The loss of loved ones tears us open with a dull blade. It allows torn flesh to heal to torn flesh. Individuals becoming larger by little, by heaps. Whole becoming more.
