Honor the time of dying. Recoil not. Perhaps there is learning, even beauty here. Honor the time of dying.

More tomorrow

Your God is too small for the really real. A greybeard on a big chair is a pipe dream we have told ourselves. Loving and creating flow together outward. Look here. I have not allowed myself the freedom I have. More tomorrow.

Remembering how

Remembering how
Inventing how
At times that’s why we converse
How to what?
Die
Be present for this one dying
Be present for this one living

Both lose and find

Being heard
Absorbing another
Partaking of a deepening conversation
We both lose and
Find our selves

safe from the crisis

The conversations I invite take place safe from the crisis. Yet they prepare us for the crisis. In a sense they are memento mori (remember dying): memento viventium (remember living) in the face of memento mori. Not so we have a ready answer, so we remember how.

Growth of a different sort?

As we get older our species
Draws ever smaller circles
Community becomes friends
Becomes family—reversing
Our course of younger years
Growth of a different sort?
Growth work that especially
The dying and the demented do

The task right and good
Or the project with the better chance of success?
