The world moves
glimmers even
see, hear, touch:
breath, heat, thrum
birds, squirrels, deer
clouds, planets, stars
galaxies, universe
black holes, dark matter, dark energy

all is movement

all that movement means someone—
you—it is personal

all is flowing, coursing, inter-coursing
all is intimate, loving, meaning each other

This is our world
This is us

full of atoms and awe
galaxies and love
machines and life
fears hopes dreams
stories poetry questions
imaginings inspirations
birthings and dyings
all moving to meeting
conversings
all
conversings

:- Doug.

The unfolding consists also in
awe, inspirations, dreams
thought, ideals, myths
story, poetry, intuitions
imaginings, consciousness
in knots, bulges, and swellings
of all manner

One wholeness
out of which arises
birds and cages
trees and apes
humans and cathedrals
tygers and poetry
barns and hope
stars and awe
galaxies and symphonies
businesses and conversations
gardens and stories
friends leaning in and
dreams

Wherever we meet
we get life

Only a world where
there is less than
wholeness
can hold
essential
terror and meaninglessness
Once we have a whole
we necessarily have love
personal-aiming
meaning

:- Doug.

A world that’s whole
Must needs be benign
Else it would eat itself up

:- Doug.

Awe is a measure of life.

:- Doug.

There are no nouns, only verbs, some of which are tired and resting.
