Footprints in the Wind^sm # 1195

Mended with its own thread
It’s all we have, we have no other
Conversation threads us together
Some are beads on a string
Some woven sturdy as canvas
Flaming red
Boring grey
Dour brown
Sad blue
Lively green
All of our colors
One fabric
All sewn together
With our own thread
We can only mend ourselves
With ourselves

Please pass it on.

Where are the answers?
Where are the questions?
Why are the questions?
Do we need stories more than questions
or questions more than stories?
Questions need stories or what’s the meaning?
Stories birth questions birth stories

:- Doug.

Does the answer to your quandary lie outside you…or within you…or even among you? That presupposes a question: where does the question emerge? And why? But in answers and questions are we looking in the realm of the verbal and the mental when we could be looking at body and action? When we look here, do we see that where we live is in relation among each other and everything is moving?

:- Doug.

We are all about whole-making conversation.

:- Doug.

The world turns on conversation.

:- Doug.

Think of the earth and the natural world, the power and the storms, the lightning and the wind, the uranium and jewels and volcanoes. Think too of its lesser forces: little brooks and streams going where the land allows them, gently over the centuries, cuddling into the softer land and clays, marking the earth as they move.

It is an action of with.

Movement continues. Everything is moving.

:- Doug.
