Footprints in the Wind^sm # 932

Distance
—from me to my spouse
—from me to G*d
—from me to myself
—from me to you
—from conversation to conversation
—from mind to mind & heart to heart
Distance adds dimension
Distance adds depth, profundity, texture
Distance is necessary to living fully
Distance gives riches, depth, death, grief
to emptiness, openness, living, celebrating
Distance is color, shadow,
the missing from the present
the more
beyond beyond
How far away are you?
May tell you how pregnant our life is

Please pass it on.

Spirit and matter interweave, hold each other. Inter-embrace.

What then are we to do? Take care of the body, take care of the world, take care of nature, revere them, for in so doing you are lifting your soul.

:- Doug.

The sky today is open, inviting, calling us out to play. This be a good day, come!

:- Doug.

Another glimpse overnight: consider. A good word soft and gentle to invite to silence, to invite to slip into meditation/contemplation. Consider.

Consider means together to look at the stars the sky.

:- Doug.

Sit with me
Let us both listen
Consider

:- Doug.

Deserve
What do all humans
Deserve?
A great delight—
Alchemy of the heart
Says Kazantzakis
What do you say?
A dream to come true?
Simply a dream?
Work, sweat?
Punishment?
Love?
Respect?
Being heard?
All humans
The world offers much…

:- Doug.
