The harmony calls

The harmony calls the instrument and the voice together.

Walking relations

Literally we are walking relations. Composed of atoms, particles spinning about other particles, held together by invisible forces, living on a spinning ball, spinning around a fire itself spinning around numberless other fires—that’s just the start of us. We are relations spinning around relations, held together by relations. Relation means spirit; relation means love. We are held together in our bodies by something physical. Add life and you’ve added movement. All movement is movement toward. To what does life move? Life is what attracts. That attraction, that to, that glue is love. We are love, we are relation.

We are relationship

We have no effect without someone or something to have an effect with. We are neither noun nor verb, rather dynamics, swirling, a dust devil. But when two dust devils knock into each other, then something happens. With only our own counsel we go crazy. With only our own thought we accomplish nothing. But give us a problem to work on, people to help, and watch us stride! We are relationship. Without someone to relate with, we fade to nothing. The laser needs the glass; the glass needs the laser: together the hologram. We are the hologram.

Footprints in the Windsm # 688

There is always more than we are seeing
our line of sight has a limit
the hill, the direction we are looking,
the blinkers we think bejewel us,
others we do not see any more

Substance

G*d is the one in whom we live and move and have our being
We are somehow with this One
Within and a part
Children of the wind
Born not crafted
Of something else
But sharing substance

Many are related but few are met

Many are related but few are met.

Relation is bigger than meeting,
—we are related to all—
few do we meet.

To watch a swimmer crest the wave
To see his kick, to mimic her stroke
To know how to swim
All is thrown aside when I dive in

Meet the water
Knowing the water means me.

Many are invited but few choose to meet.

:- Doug.
