See the cloud. Where did it come from?—last I looked the sky was clear. I watch the cloud—it moves, it changes shape, grows, shrinks in response to the currents. If you look, you miss movement. You have to look longer to see movement. It takes desire to attend.

A man set up a hole in the wall into a slum in India and stuck a computer and touch pad in the hole. http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/sugata_mitra_shows_how_kids_teach_themselves.html Kids came and taught themselves not only computers but English—and they taught each other.

What’s so amazing about that? The only way any of us learn is for someone else to help us, even if we both are finding our way. The exploration is fun and keeps our attention: we are detectives solving a mystery! Education, learning, is self-organizing. We swell our own egos to say that we need a talking head at the front of a class. We just need someone to want to learn.

So many ways to say what we are here about:
Opening space among people for their divinity
Calling out human divinity
Letting out the divine potential from human beings
Largering

It is somehow all
Working among, freeing spirit

:- Doug.

We are waves flowing into waves, oceans into oceans, sea-tides with sea-tides. We open, we open, we open to immensity, and within us is immensity opening to immensity. All sides, all directions, immense, beyond measure, beyond, beyond. We are. Immense. Waves, flow. Waving, flowing, coloring, singing, being, loving, living.
