People have a wisdom and a love in them that is their essential. This wisdom is not fully expressed, and so they are not fully, until they have created and met the betweenings.

Please pass it on.

Someone may have thrown us out, yet we have disinherited ourselves.

:- Doug.

Someone says “Let’s survey the people and find out what they want us to do!” Why do we hear this so often in government and association and service? Is it because they don’t care enough to let their desires be known? Our survey stays a step away: let us touch the source. Even “leaders” do not know what the people want. Do many want to be left alone? Can despair find hope in engaging?

:- Doug.

We have consigned ourselves to be nonpersons consigned to nonhistory. In the face of this we have hope—we can do—we.

:- Doug.

We do not know who is marginalized because for the most part we do not look at them nor hear them.

:- Doug.

What in the world do you care about? Why does that matter?

What brings you alive? Where are your gifts used most completely? Where are you used up?

What brings you alive? What would you touch more of in the world, if you could? What really engages you?

What brings you alive? What makes you want to get up off your couch and do something?
