Help our many lights shine
You can too

Please pass it on.

Silence, the perfect echo
Forget, forget
Grasping imprisons us
& the multiplicity of particularities
Forget & be revealed

:- Doug.

The world is polychromatic, polytheistic: so it is that I see humor and other multiplicities of meanings all about in mundane things. Let us attend the many things: the meetings of holy, workaday, scatological, higher, and soul.

:- Doug.

The end of life conversation is a work, a work of parent and child, of lovers. It is a work of life, of a lifetime, of art. It is bringing us together, and in this is my higher work, and the reason I am compelled to invite you to converse.

:- Doug.

The world and all its doings consists in the flow of love among us, a conversation of conversations.

:- Doug.

There are more gentle and loving frames within which to set our approach to any cancer test results seeming negative. Military and war metaphors, fighting and vanquishing, are too harsh for a part of a loved one’s body. When our grandchildren misbehave, we do not seek to vanquish and punish and kill them, but to love them into preferred behavior, to distract them if necessary, to teach them better ways.
