I am afraid of the sacrifice of doing my lifetime experiment. And so I sacrifice that.

Our lives will be a sacrifice one way or the other: either we sacrifice our lives or what they could have been. Either we sacrifice our lives or what we could have done. There is a higher calling, yes?, even for those who follow: do we dare to join with others and do a large work, or merely work for ourselves alone, doing the little thing?

Unexplained heat is often the result of memory firing. It is not present, not direct, and therefore not true.

:- Doug.

The role of myth is participation: it is how we are a part of history and society and us.

:- Doug.

Insights come slowly and continually; otherwise, how could we live them out, overwhelmed? Absorbing, taking in through semipermeable membranes, making them one with our lives: gives us life.

:- Doug.

We live in questions, die in answers.

:- Doug.

You are not in as much control of your life as you pretend. What you are in control of are your initiatives toward life, the way you engage it. Control is a ghost haunting our dreams; we would be best to kill it.

:- Doug.

It saddens me that all have creativity and truth in them, and only a few let it out. Why? Why do I not let it out more? Too much to do, getting sidetracked, fear of others and what they think, fear of failure, fear of success, fear of meeting. Encourage. Engage. Honor. Courage.

:- Doug.

When editing is truing up it is good and fun.

:- Doug.

We are many: mind and heart, hands and feet, mouth to sing, ear to hear, molecules and neurons, taste and touch, motion and solitude, relating and meeting, dying and birthing, questioning and curiosity.

:- Doug.

O, the songs we have within us!
