While we are wandering
Concentrated on something more important
Order wells up
It’s the kind that serves humanity best

:- Doug.

There is a blind spot in each eye
Where eye and brain connect
That’s why we have two eyes
And keep them moving
We each miss something
That’s why we need more people
And keep them moving

:- Doug.

If the journey’s the thing
Then the invitation
Starts it off

:- Doug.

Ask a mindful question
Expect a mindful response
Invite heartful, willing minds

:- Doug.

Setting out on a journey
we soon need the best
of each traveler
and each somehow
exceeds capability

:- Doug.

We no longer need
—a—
leader
we need
collaborating
head, heart, hand
core groups

:- Doug.

How does a group
reach mindful?

:- Doug.

Seeing is perception
and insight
and intuition
and vision
which eye do you favor?

:- Doug.

Listen to the rhythm of silence
Listen to the thrum underneath
Listen to the music of the larger
Heartbeat: of this you are a pulse

:- Doug.

If you do not still
How will you know?

:- Doug.

God is here
This is God
Nothing less

:- Doug.

Out of ideas
I went on to disparate things
What I sought popped up in
Juxtaposition

:- Doug.

Playfully the lawyer
re-spins the tale
that this family might
own a livelier
theme

:- Doug.

Educare—leading out
the larger conversation
the larger story

:- Doug.

Exploring, playing, teasing, sweating
This human, this lawyer shifts the shape of our story
Shifts the direction of our family

:- Doug.

Their story retold
The people unfold
Shifting the shape of the story
Shifts the shape of the world
Story is us

:- Doug.

Lawyer—I would that you
re-tell the story of our family
from the old one, set us at liberty

:- Doug.

This quilt is made of story
One story many patches
O that glimpses were larger
A few wrinkles smoothed
Our stories retold
Our family unfold
Shifting the shape of our story
Is the core of
The healer, the human,
The lawyer

:- Doug.

Open out! Open out!
The bigger the story
The bigger the people
Hear, take in, let emerge
Others—our—parts of the story
It’s the only way
We grow a bigger future

:- Doug.

Earwax
bird feeder
aspects of God

:- Doug.

Story is a thing God does
Story is a thing God shapes
Story is a name of God

:- Doug.

Our story is too small.

:- Doug.

Growing larger every day
My all there is

:- Doug.
