This is how to spell G*d.

:- Doug.

Ego’s imagined fear gives way
to the imaginative outflowing:
a cornucopia of flavors and tastes
aromas and textures
colors!

:- Doug.

poems ponder us
poems work us
as much as the words
the work of the poem
is the poet
even more than the other way round
and when all is written
is nothing written yet
a door opens

:- Doug.

Conversations that matter with people who matter

:- Doug.

When people meet
imagined differences of ego
fall away in the face of
imaginative differences of truth

:- Doug.

We do not transcend differences
—Why would we ever want to?—
We explore to see how we are woven
and from that we work a tapestry
—living—
to find that tapestries sing, dance, work, and grow

:- Doug.

The higher ground is the common ground.

:- Doug.

We all experience the events of our lives
the same way and differently:
We have the way of the human
We are individuals embedded in communities
within communities
Choices from the same list
lead to different paths
yet when we hear the stories
we can hear the same heart thrum
for home

What is the best of who we are?

:- Doug.

A child returns home
when an adult
to meet his parents as
persons
—so turning
meets emergence
turns the spiral
into a vortex
up and out

:- Doug.

We need responsible dreamers.

:- Doug.

Volunteer at the top.

:- Doug.

You can tell it is a profound change because it is painfully slow going at the start.

:- Doug.

Receivers of help can be dispensers of help.

:- Doug.

I’m a community disorganizer because what is is not as good as it can get, is it?

:- Doug.

We are not so much the sum of our experiences as the sum of our imaginings.

:- Doug.

Conversation is trusting one another.

:- Doug.

Good starts
Good starts things
When we say Good starts
Ask, For when?
