There is so much we do not know
We are discovering more of it every day
One with eyes open grows a bit agnostic

:- Doug.

Life does not fit
a taxonomy
or within a grid
it grows feathers and fins
fingers and ukuleles
runs up to you
and surprises

:- Doug.

assimilate the one singing
into your being
sing larger ever

:- Doug.

This brand of religion
all need in some stages
or some need for a spell
for me, I have heard the water’s flows
the babbling from the creek
the rustling in the leaves
nearby, nearby

:- Doug.

All this means something
all
this
there are no words for
words too sacred

:- Doug.

Among my nerve fibers fearful of being seen
the essence of my essence, of human essence
here is where I need to work, and for all

:- Doug.

a creek am I
a rivulet
an eddy in the flow

:- Doug.

You pay me
I sell to you
the products of my labors
beneath the surface
lagniappe
I make a gift
of my spirit
there is only one spirit
for humans to give and receive
beyond bargains
and you from
your spirit
make another gift
two gifts
first you add your readings
to my poetry
second you carry off
the product that has
held me, held my space
freeing me
to more, to higher
meeting giving
meeting giving
a respiration
for humanity

:- Doug.

Embrace your ignorance
Courage now:
Display your ignorance

:- Doug.
