True family
True family is I-Thou.
:- Doug.
The threshold of holy space is
Life fulfilling conversation
Here, between,
The holy space
Is
In this family, is
Here
Every here
Yet evanescent

Life fulfilling conversation
Inviting, Freeing, Calling Whole
Inviting, freeing, calling whole: in all these divinity wants us to live! Live with an exclamation point, large, whole, full, complete!
:- Doug.
These deeps have never existed before
Spirit is the relating, the loving, which are the same thing. Perhaps silence is the deeper conversation. Being in each others’ presence, circles entwining, is as deep as we can go—and it carries us deeper because we are creating the deeps together. These deeps have never existed before. These deeps create new paths forward. The walking and the standing are the same over the ages, but the meeting is ever new.

We speak out of the betweens
We speak out of the betweens. We meet; something transpires; word forms in our head; comes out the throat; and is shaped by the tongue. The start is not in the human, but the human is in the start. Here is silence, response, living. This loving is what we call spirit.
