Gathering the future

I don’t say love one another
I say Love one another
With a Love larger than you
A disinterested Love
A Love for every
Rock and reptile
Galaxy and legume

I don’t say love one another
Surely she too
There can be no more wars
If any of us is to survive
If we fight our way to
The last woman standing
Surely she too will lonely die

Heading, hearting, handing into the future
Open Space is people together heading, hearting, and handing into the future.
:- Doug.
Clumping
Clumps of people
Here and there around the world
More every day
Knowing together
Things we do not in ordinary days
Touching depths and
Doing things we are wistful for
Into the face of this future
Hand with hand
Head with heart
We too can clump
:- Doug.
Keep your heart as supple
Keep your heart as supple
As your hands
Your brain as limber as your heart
:- Doug.

Listening is the river
Listening is the river flowing to the deep and placid sea, Hearing. The sea accepts all that comes to it, mingles, assimilates, and becomes one with it, was always one with it.
Listening runs through the brambles and the rocks and the mud. Listening does the work. Listening starts small, notices disturbances, differences, resistance, sings over sands and smooth places, accepts the rains and the sun, but notices, notices all, brings all waters along, trusting that it will find its level in the sea, trusting the sea which it cannot know, trusting the unknown path ahead.

Neuroplasticity and its operating friends
We work with neuroplasticity, core plasticity, opening willingness.

Our attention push out of our pocket
Our attention push out of our pocket
Listening is a first step to hearing

the far and endless sea
The explorer is ever seeking
for whom she or he will become
if he or she stays in the same place
his or her powers will dry up
so he sells, and she speaks forth only of,
the far and endless sea

How do we get a group mindful?
How do we get a group mindful? Set off on a journey. The challenges will demand the highest and best of each. Most will surprise, especially together.
How do we get the journey started? With invitation. It is helped if the inviter is aware. The inviter will do well to invite to larger and larger panoramas.

Do we measure things that don’t count?
Do we measure things that don’t count?
Do we count things that don’t measure up?
:- Doug.
Ah, results!
Ah, results!
So that’s what you count!
You must be working on something temporal
And smaller than your measuring-stick
:- Doug.
