Memory may be stored in the betweens of cells, the neighborhoods of the cells, the dendrites. There are more than a few connections made by each cell. If one cell dies, then do our memories run up a road ending in a field? Have our memories not died but simply disappeared, been cut off? Can we grow new ones?

We are more humankind the loving than man the wise.

“We are human beings, not human doings,” the man said. However the phrase is not a definition, a limiting of all possibility. In point of fact if we look we see that we are very little more than what we do for one another beyond our loving. The evidence is that we are human lovings.

I will not sell, I will not tell
I will simply ask you to converse
Conversing we learn what we think
Conversing we become aware of our world
How it and we change one another

:- Doug.

We are not conscious until we converse. I will not prove it to you. I will simply ask what you each think of what’s in the lead story of today’s news. When you each have had your say, I’ll ask you again.

:- Doug.

Conversing we bring the fugitive to light
The inkling out in the open
We are not conscious until we converse

What is the testimony of seeking?

:- Doug.

Let us be about solemn conversation.

Life is about taking risks with unpredictable results.

:- Doug.

People are dying mechanical deaths
Ventilator, respirator, stomach tubes, O!
Couldn’t we spare them our own human touch?

:- Doug.

People are dying
Far from gently
Far from home
We can make it better
We can bring them home

:- Doug.

I dream
I converse
I invite

:- Doug.

G the dreaming
G the conversing

:- Doug.

My dream a world conversing
And look! It’s working!
Traffic flows on streets and highways
Business and government intermix
Flowing around each other
Ambulances, police, fire
All one people helping people, loving
Conversing

:- Doug.

People in nursing homes might not get better. But we can. We can treat them better. More importantly, they can live meaningfully. They can have light in their eyes.

Life converses or it dies. Give us a living being to care for and we flourish.

:- Doug.
