just because they’re different
Just because they’re different
does not mean you’re better
just unfamiliar

Think Johnny Appleseed, Jesus, Peace Pilgrim
Think Johnny Appleseed, Jesus, Peace Pilgrim. Only we are not planting; we are uncovering seedlings. When they are seen and given space, when you are heard, the world grows. By just that much. Wander. Uncover the bright and greening.

say themselves
In conversation persons say themselves
sell not some proposition rather
tell of themselves
(sometimes just for their own ears)
care not if others agree
—some of this is pure exploration—
or even respond
for the response they need
is to be heard
:- Doug.
You are a sparkle
You are a bright spot for the world. The role of conversation is to open a door to seeing this light—and putting it to work. It is a generosity of curiosity. My work is curiously seeking out your sparkle and helping you set it loose upon the world. It is not about fighting uphill to make you do what you don’t want, but helping you make real your best. My spirit is generous—I have to give.
