Footprints in the Wind^sm # 698

All the world’s a conversation
and we the meeters and the met
and we the seeking to be met and still unmet

Please pass it on.

The end of heart is art—creativity, beauty, sensitivity.

:- Doug.

Why should we want to consciously evolve?

At first I thought it a response to two poles: hubris, in that we think we cannot improve our species; humility in that we hold back from trying.

Then I thought it necessary: for the good of our grandchildren.

Now I am thinking it is wholeness, fullness, completeness: to poke holes in the grey cloth over our heads, poke holes that can show us we can let it out, let it out!

:- Doug.

How can we be complete without being heard?

:- Doug.

If we could choose how we evolve what would we choose?

Would we choose to make our species better at building shopping centers? (Careful! It’s not as easy as it looks to answer.) Better at getting money from each other? Better at extracting and using up earth’s resources? (What’s better?) Better at caring for the ill, the justice deprived, the respect-less?

:- Doug.
