There’s a kind of a buzz
running through all humanity
something going on here
and there
a buzz that wants to lift all
and fly
let’s pay our attention here
for once or twice
touch cheeks and hear the buzzing
become buzzing
join, make more whole
the tune

:- Doug.

People yearn for communion, they yearn also for being able to give their best for the world. Perhaps the yearning for communion is an expression of the yearning to give our best.

:- Doug.

We become more human the more we see ourselves not as beings, but as beings-with. We only are persons when we are with another person.

:- Doug.

Destiny needs each of us. We each must act to actualize destiny, destiny which waits for us. Or rather waits in us as the yearning, the thing we most want to bring to the world as an act of our deepest love.

:- Doug.

Where in the Protestant service today is the opening for us to meet God in the way that reaches each on his or her own ground? Where in a time filled with listening to other’s words and singing other’s songs, where am I addressed, met, given space? The work of the people has become the canned work of the liturgist and we are lost.
