What kinds of conversations are there? To exchange information. To say you and I are of the same cloth. To explore ideas. To explore the quality without a name. To tell a story. To ask a question unanswerable. To laugh. To share tears and grief. To argue. To prove. To offend. Is there a continuum?

:- Doug.

Now make it profoundly yours.

What tragedies changed you for better?

:- Doug.

These, these will live when I die.

What funerals were the best?

:- Doug.

What do we know about the ancestors 300 years fore, 300 years aft? Aft, we are apt to ignore, as if they did not, will not, exist. But is this fair? To us?

:- Doug.

Beyond our wars and arguments, beyond our irritability with one another, beyond our current divisiveness, as apocalyptic as it seems, there is something that makes us human. And this extends across generations. As little as we think of other generations, fore or aft. It is this green tendril that will save us. Or it will die out. This we tend.

:- Doug.

What is the wholeness? It is human. It is the wholeness human. The wholeness of the generations.

:- Doug.

You—you!—have the capacity to nurture, to draw forth life, from me.

:- Doug.

Conversation is ladling life into each other’s bowl.
