On not seeing our big work
I cannot just now see the big work I am
doing
only its gossamer broad outlines
changing
But today I do see these hungering to be
heard

Our ideas are never our own
Our ideas are never our own
Every time we express, the idea is changed by the words we find
Never do we find the perfect fit words
Every time we express, someone else hears with an accent, sees through their lens on the world
And we all add to what we hear & read & write
So that what goes in is not what gets ground up & what gets ground is not what goes into the casing
Our ideas are never purely ours alone
So our task is movement, stirring, starting, adding & combining
Conversation is central & every place
You are not you, I am not me, alone
Our lives are never merely ours alone

humble bee
In Open Space as in life (same thing I suppose)
be a bumble bee, jump into the air and buzz around
hear around
Above all else, whatever you be, hold not back,
be not a humble bee!
