Three hundred years for story weaving.

:- Doug.

Do you still know what a firefly is? And what it’s for?

:- Doug.

Is there a story you tell or have heard that always perks you up?

:- Doug.

Looking back at us, how might people figure a way to human better? What did we do that turned out better than planned? What worse? For what had we no plan? How did that turn out?

:- Doug.

How do you respond to evil?

:- Doug.

What do you remember of . . . ?

:- Doug.

What were meals like growing up?

:- Doug.

In my nap-time dream, I am the dreamer, I am the dreamed, I enjoy the event and playing all the roles. I smile. I am refreshed.

:- Doug.

Stories want ears
Questions want stirring
Lemonade to be made

:- Doug.

No, I don’t want to be sure we’ve heard this voice. I want us sure we are attending for the voice and testing what we think we hear. Something vague, unclear may get through and it may in some way help.

Can we?
Can we hear another?
Can we be generous?
Can we be open?
Can we be vulnerable?

Please pass it on.

Heart beat detection is a skill we can learn. It may help us hear the generations.

:- Doug.

Times have changed. How?

:- Doug.

What do you think of our younger generation?

:- Doug.

What’s it take to talk with children, to really connect?

:- Doug.

There may be an actual food for thinking.

:- Doug.

We get better at collaborating with the generations by study. Our study goes beyond book study and cogitations to the meeting places—the betweens—such as gestures, conversation, food.

:- Doug.

We might plant seeds in the shape of questions to rankle across centuries.

:- Doug.

We have conversed via legends and myths.

:- Doug.

Write the story of a great “I would do otherwise”—maybe not a life changer, only a regret that after these years taps you on the shoulder.

:- Doug.

Can our lives be enriched by learning to live more deeply in imagination?

:- Doug.

Is all conversation mouth-based? Or can it extend in a variety of ways? Is it only two directional, and do those directions have to use the same medium, or media? If we speak with a mouth, can we hear with something other than an ear?

:- Doug.

When does one generation (note well the word) stop and the next begin?

:- Doug.
