Footprints in the Wind^sm # 954

To round out our work
To hear the work telling us what needs doing
To enter into the space between never knowing where or how we will end up, with the purpose of throwing ourselves fully into its adventure for good
To seek out others of like heart
To let the work tell you what it wants—where the natural turns & breaks & curves are—so you can avoid forcing and cracking its utility and beauty
To be curious about how all this will come out…
To wait out beyond our grasping for immediate results so as to allow something of ourselves—and others’—O and all others’—out to full play, knowing—no, hoping & expecting—something larger will play with us…
To open space for new life, curious & squalling
To open in ourselves a space of mind…
This is the way of life; we can choose

Please pass it on.

We are able to change the way the unfolding happens—not in the precise way we choose to have it unfold, but we can influence it, we can do a little more than influence it—we can nudge and push and tug—and so what we do does change its course in our direction. So…if we get enough of us pulling and tugging and spitting and blowing, we might just make something unexpected.

We are within you, G*d, in the swirl, in your face and you in ours. Our swirl touches and moves your swirl.

We are bathed in you. “Washed in the blood of the lamb,” only the lamb lives and the blood is life force which stains us as able. It is up to us to do what we are able.

:- Doug.

Do you have climate space?

:- Doug.

G*d is in the whole, and in the flow of the whole. We are not just in the flow, but flowing itself. We are current.

:- Doug.

A goal ends; a purpose follows through.
