Give some context
for your poems
& aphorisms
This has none
until I tell you
about a toddler
& how she
taught me about life

:- Doug.

In the hall
A little child vocalizes
Here another turns to her
Life to Life
Ever hearkens

:- Doug.

Let’s not care
about comparing
And
Let’s care
About caring

:- Doug.

Words cannot convey the whole. You must clamber onto our lap.

:- Doug.

Hey folks! Look around
You’re here for each other
Not yourself only
That’s the whole living story

:- Doug.

Disturbing opens us to our wholeness
Disorganizing limits our organizings limiting us
Provoking starts us to scratching the itch
So now, what needs disturbing
In my life?

:- Doug.

How do we want to be present when we die?

:- Doug.

Footprints in the Wind^sm # 1289

Just a knot
am I,
a gathering,
in the fabric
of the whole
(even the word
universe
is meaningless)
So when I awoke
this morning
at the time
I’d told myself
I wondered
was the awakening
from within
or without?
I see this is a
nonsense question

Just a gathering in the fabric of the whole. This means that a touch on the fabric elsewhere is felt anywhere, and I might feel it too. It does not matter what mistakes I might make in feeling or hearing or touching, for the whole fabric will even it out, and I like all have all within, both good and bad, excellent and stupid, and still it matters for ever that I do what I can to move it to wholeness for that is its nature, that is my nature, that is our nature.

Please pass it on.

How can we be more folded into one another’s lives?
