Calling out to play
what’s already in you
I stand up for
opening our rainbows
freeing what’s gotten crusted over
calling us home
to the good we can yet live

wisdom, love & conversation
to law

Conversations with flavors to relish:
tart grapefruit
salty buttery popcorn
greazzy pork chops
meaty mushrooms
beer running down the beard
strong men arm wrestling
strong women giving birth
sweat, tears, belly laughs,
hands clasping, shoulders clapped
these are the works and flavors of
conversations to relish

:- Doug.

Lively life!
Thee I love!
How could you ever die?

:- Doug.

Do what we came here to do:
heal the world
open the heart of the world

First look for the blood
to heal community
hear what is unheard

Pinch the blossoms from
off the rose
trim the stems

more butterflies

but go far enough

What skin have you been wearing
all these years?
The one made by your culture

Time is money we say
in my land
This is not good
for thus we value money
more than time

What is the good secret inside
you
me

the all there is?
Come, let’s
free it & be!
