Footprints in the Wind^sm # 1369

This rain
now caressing
now soaking
now thunderous
brings me
home-like thoughts
of God

Please pass it on.

What’s been the theme of your life? What do you want it to be next?

:- Doug.

Skip trying to persuade people of something new, no matter how attractive to you. New world-views are accepted either bite by bite, or when the old guard dies off. Bites are faster. Speak in words with which these friends are comfortable: a change of heart; a world in flux; work with the flow; we’re all lost; one step at a time; together we’re smarter than any one of us.

:- Doug.

Imagine your seventh last day: What do your relations need from you?

:- Doug.

We don’t need our people to have more information and knowledge, we need people to be different.

:- Doug.

When we see suffering we can ask, Is some of this less physical and more of the soul and spirit?

:- Doug.

How do we make living our later years and dying both sacred processes?

:- Doug.

Conversing ought cause you to change your heart.

:- Doug.

I think I’d rather be comprised of
membranes than boundaries
porosity than blockages
I’d rather be
an amoeba than an armadillo
a bundle than king of the hill

:- Doug.
