branching off place
Our first step is to ask what have been the wonderful things in your life? What wonderful if anything stemmed from a tragedy? The second step is to explore how those coming behind us can use those stories as a branching off place to make doing human more wonderful.
:- Doug.
Have it stick?
What wonderful misses is the sense of conversation within the stream of ancestors. It is perhaps too momentary. Done and gone and no longer having effect. Can we do human wonderfully, and have it stick, or be a jumping off place for even more wonder? How do we get there? What tracks do we leave? What imaginations do we sparkle?

Endures by changing
By moments life happens. By moments change happens. Life changes. Life endures by its changing.

Make districts and gardens so
Perhaps we cannot and even ought not make the whole territory of life wonderful, but we can make districts and gardens so.
:- Doug.
Long-range view of wonder
Old people are not the only ones with a long-range view of wonder. It more often comes in later years.
