Footprints in the Windsm # 1755–Hold back story

Footprints in the Windsm # 1755

An elder may hold back something of the story: allowing for the hearer to discover; allowing the story to cup its power.

Work into you

The development of persons toward elders is process and structure. It is your body no longer doing what you tell it, and how you choose daily to take in and work into you new information and questions.

Dissected

blind or now?

God (the verb) is not this one nor that, not here nor there. God is here and there, this and that, this one and that one. O you who will not see! You are blind, blind, blind.

God, love, conversation: these in the innumerable are not: they are flowing, touching, beckoning you now, now, now.

Reversing eternal midst

Playfulness, not play, is central. Everything is central in an Indra’s Net sort of way. Move things our world. Moving, moving is everything! Interconnecting is everything. So playfulness, a dancing, embracing attitude, not caring if anyone is watching: this is, and there is no thing. Do you see what is doing me? Reversing how I see, emerging reality in me as verb.

Reversing is not the end but the eternal midst, the eternal mist: coming out of it is the never ending relating, plaiting, dancing.

A storm in our culture

The world is not flat: we see the world as a flat plane extending out from a center, us. We relate to acquaintances, associates, friends, spouse, children, parents, family in this way. Yet we are related to all in a rounding, endless world, 360 degrees by 360 degrees each. The butterfly’s wings in the Amazon rain forest do cause a storm in our culture.

Conflict embrace

Peace and conflict embrace: a paradox
unify, diversify
grow! grow! grow!

A national leader suffers

Because we are more connected than we realize, we experience pain when someone daily near us suffers depression, when a national leader suffers from inner turmoil.

Orbiting eldering

We are bringing to focus some things that were invisible without a conceptual framework: namely the systems orbiting eldering.

Climate’s effects

Some folks don’t see climate change. Perhaps their time scope is too short. Or more profoundly perhaps they cannot see our effects upon climate because they cannot see climate’s effects on themselves.
