wild fierce & feral in you
What is wild fierce & feral in you
Brings life
What is tamed ordered weeded
Brings food
Tho’ we need both to live
We think taming more important
Thoughts are part
Life calls us whole

What is the vision vibrating through all of creation?
What is the vision vibrating through all of creation?
What is the vision vibrating through me, from my earliest years to now, the reason and purpose for which I am hear? What is the fierce and feral wild part of me that spouts life? Don’t worry why I have not been giving it voice, just go out and do!

getting something of healing and largeness
When you invite the best and highest in people to swirl among us then you have increased the chances of getting something of healing and largeness. When you rip the grey cloth over people’s heads, do not be surprised that colors pour forth!
:- Doug.
Of veils and visions:
Of veils and visions:
Of sharing for the peoples to see—
And dance!
There is something of mystery
In the people
Among and Beyond
Rip the veils
Contents spill forth
No longer contained
Washing the world!

fearsome as it might be
The fact of the matter is simple: if we want more of the same, then we should do more of the same. If we want something different, we should proceed to invite it, as fearsome as it might be.
:- Doug.
That’s it!
Have you ever felt like singing?
That’s it!
Have you ever seen the world
For a moment look sharper, crisper?
That’s it!
Have you ever done
Something for another, secretly?
That’s it!

Visionary.
Unknown.
Letting go.
Fingertips alert.
Being born.
Compassion.
Service to each other.
Exploring for something new.
We are the ones for whom we have been waiting. We.

It is not primarily about action for me–
It is not primarily about action for me—it is about whole-making, which is a certain kind of action. It is bringing people together to see that they own the world and make it whole.

There is something large in each one:
There is something large in each one: meaningful conversation evokes this in each other, connecting up these larger essences.

It takes us all
It takes us all
To listen to the whole
To hear
To gather in the whole picture
It takes us all
Ignoring
Seeing only our ego
To allow us to go astray
It takes us all
Paying attention
To the best & highest
To make us whole
:- Doug.
I am large
I am large
Not in myself, yet in the whole
Of which I am a required part
I carry universes
Their rhythm, their melody, their
One life, One being, One loving
Become embodied through me
:- Doug.
a larger mystery
I sat in our circle. People actually listened to me. I found myself heard by others, my contribution respected and built upon. But more: I heard myself—heard myself as part of a larger heartbeat, a larger mystery.

Footprints in the Windsm # 1063–What is your real Why?
Footprints in the Windsm # 1063
What is my real Why? Why I do this is to connect people to G*d, or more precisely, to help people realize their relatedness with G*d, their continual playing with G*d.
Some play by lying on their couch and saying Let me sleep this afternoon, maybe tomorrow. Some play by getting out on the field and playing their position.
All make the world by what they do, even if they do not. If we consciously play, we enjoy more life, we have a more fulfilling life—for all the living. Withhold and we are all burdened; jump in and the water becomes better.

#OpenSpace: working from the whole….
In OS we are working from whole to individuals rather than the other way round.
We are not pasting a bunch of particles together; rather are we discovering ourselves as part of the one all. We discover facets of ourselves we could not have known separately.

Gifts from conversation:
Gifts from conversation:
Being heard by others
Being heard by myself
Hearing others
Hearing the collective
Hearing the larger
Hearing the larger within myself
Getting us doing

Touching the melody
The melody is loving, personal loving. The melody is loving us personally—each and all. The all is melody personally loving calling us to this one being.
When we pray then we are touching the melody, plucking the strings of the melody, changing the harmony, the meaning, the loving.
The rainbow colored light is also a rainbow of melody!
:- Doug.
