Footprints in the Wind^sm # 2050

She sometimes came to Quaker Meeting
One day she made the coffee after
Now she’s central to our group
Give your grandchildren a task
To meet their grandchildren
To find their grandchildren
To invite their grandchildren to find theirs

Why do we meet and seek to find one another? In what direction does it bend the arc but towards one another? For then it attains to the truth and justice we seek, the beauty, and goodness. What do we get then? Unfathomable us.

Please pass it on.

You don’t have to predict the future: you just have to predict humans. We do change, but will have recognizable foibles. And possibilities we can grow. For millennia.

:- Doug.

Remixing humanity: can we get intentional about influencing future humanity? Could they possibly influence us? We have a special opportunity in this generation and time’s a wasting. Let us experiment together.

:- Doug.

When you are charging hourly, you are withholding from your clients some of yourself.

:- Doug.

Will humanity be recognizable in 300 years? Perhaps not physically, but in their quandaries, yes.

In that sense, there is no urgency. In the sense that what we are doing today is a pebble in the pond, we have choices: where to throw the pebble, when, and which pebble, and what to do with the ripples coming to us?

:- Doug.

To grow and to nudge: to grow the growth of humanity, of myself to some extent, to get intentional about growing humanity. To nudge that along. Wholly ancestoring: to become better at being an ancestor for the good of humanity.
