Plants cannot and can
When you enter life’s garden thro’ the conversation doorway. . . of necessity you go hand in hand—which means you can ill manipulate the world—but can grasp bigger bunches of it—just like plants cannot and can—and do.

Simply ish
How can you be more you-ish, and I more Doug-ish? Then drop the prefix to simply be ish?
:- Doug.
Looking into your face
To face transcendence of two is to look into the face of the unknown—and have it look into yours.
:- Doug.
Becoming the scene
Actors in theater or improv can enter this zone—becoming the scene, and the scene comes alive.
:- Doug.
Far from perfection
The purpose of our conversing and gathering is far from perfection; it is muddling thro’—to discovery.
:- Doug.

A place of other
If we get to a place of sacred/holy/other, is that not already transcending?

His enemy
The world is his enemy and he’s in the process of making more. Have compassion for him.

How we are together
Conversation is how we think together
Conversation is how we create together
Conversation is how we imagine together

Taught to delight
“You’ve got to be taught” goes the song from South Pacific. You’ve got to be taught to separate yourself from Mamma, from Poppa, and from the world out there. So our efforts to self transcendence are in the nature of reminding that we are part of the whole, can live in delight, don’t need an egotistic ego. We can remember the things our English language is designed to keep out of our mouths.
