Evidently I cannot put words to this stuff. It may be just beyond words. It is squirty, and as soon as I think I have it grasped, it squirts out between my fingers and toes. Since I want to be intimate with it, how can I not pursue it? But then, if I am still, maybe it will come out to meet me.

Serve the whole, do you?
Or just the team, the project,
Or the company?
Lift your eyes
They are light
Please pass it on.

Have we gotten to the current place
—The place of now?
—The flowing of power?
—The crossing point
Of last and next?
:- Doug.
Growing together,
Coming, bringing together
—Inviting awareness of
What really matters
To us all—
So we—a larger we—have a
Next distinct from our last
:- Doug.
My feet already wet with life
Diving is not an option
Mash mash mash
Out of the grapes
Blood!
:- Doug.
In the inviting
In the imagining
In the sending
Greater things than I
You will do
I begin to see Jesus
Was seeing what humanity
Has done
Yet will do
More than any single man
Humanity acting as divinity
:- Doug.
Friend, into Your Excitingly Risky Vulnerable Human Divine Intimate Now.
:- Doug.
This might just mean that a breakthrough in legal practice will emerge. It certainly cannot if we do not do the experiment. The opportunity is here as well as out there. From here the community can grow. Community is beyond my needs, to something larger in space, in time, in souls.
:- Doug.
Dive in, the experimenter immerse in the test tube! See what bubbles up!
:- Doug.
I have been on the cusp of seeing that I can bring this more into my practice: to get people to engage more, to take a human part, by starting the personal, humanly vulnerable ways. They do not even have to see what I am doing. Perhaps: Here is what I am seeing; Here is what I saw in my life; Here is what I felt (or maybe what I feel, if vulnerable); What are you needing; What can we ask of each one of us?
So the Work can more interweave my work.
Is this deep enough? Nothing is ever deep as it can go, but it is often deep as it will go for now. A better question: does it go in the right direction? Is it an experiment in which I create the space, go live in it, and then study what emerges?
This is about bringing together. We can start with the people who cared enough to show up at the appointment, converse in these steps, show them a way, perhaps even give them the steps for talking with family and friends, getting them started, show them they have just been on the path, they have already started the path.
Because the job is coming together. The legal job and the World Work is coming together.
:- Doug.
Listen with your eyes closed
Then listen with your ears closed
And your you open
:- Doug.
What has its own life?
Refuses to be stopped?
In here let your hearts work
:- Doug.
“Little pictures have big ears” we say
Bigger pictures require of us bigger ears
Ya hear?
:- Doug.
Footprints in the Windsm # 1446
The still point of the turning earth
Is not the monks and nuns in their cells
Is not the meditators on their cushions
It’s each of us—or can be—it wants us fervently
The still point in the turning turning
Please pass it on.
