Plants and people should flower: they should produce fruit. Why? So that the stock can grow. So that all can live well. Living well means not solely taking in, but also giving out, not only giving, but also receiving. No being can live long if it only inspires or only expires, but it must do both: respire. Do we understand this in our bones and entrails? On some level we do, even if not consciously.

Where do I want to go? I want to go to what is rock bottom, what connects tribes so that things flow among them, ultimately I want them to touch spirit, not to touch it, but to do the work. So ultimately it is whole-making. Where I want to go is whole-making.
Whole-making with the tribe, with the whole of creation, with the holy. My legal practice is mainly with the tribe. Always pointing to the permeable boundaries of our tribe.
So if I keep this in mind, I can keep drilling for blood, for the life of the family. What will make your family most whole? What will fulfill this one?
This is, make no mistake, a new direction for people who come in here looking for a dump truck Will or a way to save next month’s pension check from the nursing home.
It is not as the financial planners have it: to have a long-term plan; rather it is to cultivate a tribe that plays their symphonies or invents new planets or simply makes nests well together. It is about whole-making.
What do we do as a tribe together? We encourage each person to do their biggest bestest thing in the world, among and for the tribe.

Keep looking for ways to dive deeply faster. For some people, simply asking What’s behind or beneath that? will take them there. For others, there might be more circuitous routes.
