Footprints in the Wind^sm # 1196

Our society is in crisis and here we are pulling apart—as if there were only one direction to go from here. The fact is our society is large enough to hold many people, many ideas, many directions. We need to find a way—make a way—to weave.

Please pass it on.

We’re not completely whole
until in us there is something
broken
Might the same be true in
our families,
our society?

:- Doug.

Exactly at the very heart of brokenness
is wholeness

:- Doug.

Dead! Just like that!
Your heart is ripped in two
this wound never heals
somehow from your dwindling blood
comes a larger completeness of you
compassion for others in varied pains
from brokenness, wholeness

:- Doug.

Poetry is making
Making of core
Making of core of the world
Making of something larger
At the heart of all
Making of a beat
Making of happenings & meanings a rhyming
Making worlds
& new realities

:- Doug.

If you’re about non-violence, where are you on the question of CPR?
