There is a place in conversing where you and they cease all separateness and become one moving. This is where we turn the world.

Please pass it on.

Just took a walk in the woods. The tree frogs got used to my presence and started in again to call to each other. There is another sound—like ducklings quacking to each other, but then water comes along and turns their quacks into gargles. What a cacophony! I love the green, the browns, the life! I love the opportunity to just walk in the woods, to go to life and drink in! This is a reason I do this work.

Being heard stems from speaking heart’s truth wholly. Not always will we be heard as we had hoped, but hearts hear.

:- Doug.

This is the John Woolman lesson: to speak personally of how something affects one’s self, without telling others what they should think or do, but merely saying, This is my experience, this is the message of my living.

The message of my living is wrapped up in: hearing and being heard from the heart, speaking from the heart, living from the heart.

This is pretty profound for me—not sure for others—but it helps me see how I live.
