It takes a pulse
It takes a pulse
to live among:
a going out, a coming home
an acting, a stopping to hear
softness, softness

The quieter ones
It’s important to give the quieter ones a chance to engage and share their voices. Otherwise, we just hear the usual voices and lose those who ponder, take their time, do not often speak. We reinforce the old patterns and nothing new happens. Why do we want to have these conversations? Then conversing in smaller groups gives more voices an opportunity to be heard, and speeds the conversation’s spread.

All these are at least of God
Shh, can you hear
the light rain coming?
the heartbeat rhythm of the fish you caught?
the first movement of the conscience of an executive of a multinational corporation?
All these are at least of God
:- Doug.
Be still to see
How can I move the world?
Become the still point of its turning.
A fulcrum?
Silence answers out of the silence
Converse; be still to see
:- Doug.
A story we want to believe
What can carry our ideal?
Must we our errors forever repeat?
Can we grow? What do we dare?
Some words shared around our hearts’ imagination
Mix in some action, quicken our pulses
We can yet be more when we
Hear a story we want to believe
:- Doug.
