Both seed and soil
We meet, we each and both become both seed and soil for the other, for something that uses us to grow.

Exchange it is
Exchange conversation is, a barter, only you each keep what you brought and add the other’s, and if grace smiles, a child of these.
:- Doug.
And still we are not done!
We germinate, we leaf, we vine, we flower! We set little green fruit, we grow round, we grow fat, we grow green and then red! We fall to the ground, spent, or we are food! And still we are not done—our fruit is food for the seed, and then we germinate somewhere new, some when new.
:- Doug.
Our most real response
To a changing world, to ever new choices, our most real response can be as it always was, always will be: converse. Converse means to dance, to turn with, to tune over—as one turns over a compost heap, to create environs for new life, new working. Bring air and food and moisture and organisms together: make new humus.

In conversation we risk
In conversation we risk contributing, risk something happening to us.
