Sadness for our country
Our sadness at the divisiveness in our country is itself belonging and love.

Grandson of a Granddaughter
I am the grandson of a grandson
You the granddaughter of a granddaughter
That is enough
:- Doug.
Your promise better
What is your promise toward making better our species? How do you fulfill it?
:- Doug.
Inspire it out of them
Whatever we leave for later generations we won’t teach it into them: we’ve got to inspire it out of them. Same as what we have to receive from the generation 300 years ago.
:- Doug.
Communion beyond
The picture is communion beyond the common understanding of conversation. Perhaps community, intercourse, in common, flow.
:- Doug.
New vantage
New vantage + story + 300-year focus + conversation = our course to kinder humanity
:- Doug.
Somehow one story
The generations, 300 years ago, 300 years ahead, and now, are writing the one story, somehow integrated into one. One story.
:- Doug.
Sense of the whole
Having saved only 1 person’s letters we yet get a sense of the whole conversation. So too with the 600 year conversation.
:- Doug.
hand in hand
Conversation most often is or embeds story—what happened, our pain, our celebration, our dream, the new plan will carry a brighter day. Conversation and story are not the same but they often can be seen walking hand in hand.
:- Doug.
Come explore and engender
We are the first fourth generation: an added cohort between householder and decrepit. We have health, freedom, and a long view. We are in the perfect place to cultivate a kinder, sharing, caring humanity.
Might there be a first fifth generation, even a first sixth? Are we the limit? Is this as good as humanity can get?
Come join the exploration, the conversation, the journaling, the meditation/contemplation, the stories, the silence, the imagination, and help us find better ways to engender beloved community.
:- Doug.
we story in common
Conversing with the 300-year people is about communion. What we hold in common. We are the animals who can see what we have in common, can story about it.
:- Doug.
