Meeting ineffable?
In your meeting, what was ineffable?
:- Doug.
To the machines we will be, some say, as gods
and some say as dogs
see: there are many turns to spell
:- Doug.
Turns to spell
Walking the train
Walking the train
new things to be seen
mountains out this window
valleys and fog out that
new voices
something seeps in
will not know for days
:- Doug.
Recovering preparing
How are you? I’m recovering. Better than yesterday, not yet as good as tomorrow. Preparing to be surprised.
:- Doug.
No ask stories
I won’t ask you to tell your story—you contribute it when it seems to add to our conversation.
:- Doug.
Hope an enemy
Hope is an enemy
Dashing us on rocks
Of futures we do not want
Whatever we hope
Will never be
:- Doug.
Make fishing time
Make fishing time
Throw a line
Into deep water
Where dwell powers
Unknown and ready
:- Doug.
Story for questions
How would you design a story to teach asking better questions? What if you were not teaching but inviting?
:- Doug.
non conscious greeting
Have been thinking that I learned some things this last few days, and most of it has been non consciously received, nor can it be expressed. It will ooze out during the days and weeks ahead. Expect some difference in depths and in ways to greet the world.
:- Doug.
Dying pictures
For dying patients and their families, the same question as for their doctors and nurses: What does that look like? Especially for the patients and families: What do you want it to look like, and not look like? Draw me a picture.
:- Doug.
Permission to die?
What needs to be born in us today, in order for something to have permission to die?
:- Doug.
Offerings:
Offerings:
We are always
offering
Everyone offers
their true selves

Are we
noticing
theirs
ours
Hold?
:- Doug.
