Footprints in the Windsm # 1172–Once upon a firefly’s wing
Footprints in the Windsm # 1172
Once upon a
Firefly’s wing
A dolphin swam
Up a laughing stream
To a house in
The woods
Where lived a
Wart with a magical
Friendly old
Crone attached
Who helped us draw a
Circle back
Home to our
Comfy beds
Of such as these
Are composed
Children’s tales
Adults’ songs
Grandparents’ dreams
Please pass it on.

Eldering: do the things that the elders of the tribe do: loving, encouraging, seeing far, touching 7 generations.

My memory is in places
My memory is in places. If I want to remember to take my camera this evening and not leave the document I am working on, I put my camera on top of a paper I am taking home. That is enough to re-mind me to find the batteries too.

The Will you get from the Web
The Will you get from the Web is one size fits nobody. All you have to do is sign here. I ask more work of you.
:- Doug.
The Will is only the product
See? You ask lots of questions: that proves your life is not written in any form book. It is the questions and stories you need to tell that lead to the experience and counsel I have to share. The Will is only the product of our meeting.

Elders growing worth
Elders are not partial nor disabled but validly creative, growing worth and abilities new.

Footprints in the Windsm # 1171
Teach that life will come to us because we have life. Be in the assembly, in the mix, and do some of the mixing. Guide the hand that seeks to turn you. Touch ever gently.
