Tunnel equally through
the stories of
despair and triumph
till we get to
stories to carry us on

:- Doug.

Because we have an opposable thumb
we think in opposables:
our big toe can help us grasp
can we think or our opponents
as helping us get a firm grasp?

:- Doug.

Do we have 2 hands, 2 eyes, 2 many things
So we can compare?
Or do we compare because we have two?

:- Doug.

Clarity? Peace? Engagement?
When you come to a group
Be what they seek
Without yourself seeking
Without selling: be

:- Doug.

By remaining
By remaining
By remaining
You invite
You invite
You invite
Tranquil—action
Empty—fullness
Still—clarity

:- Doug.

Holidays are easier to insight
perhaps because I give me permission
make room and a larger flower opens

:- Doug.

Life is soft
and we are hard
or is it the other?

:- Doug.

Let us teach each other
how to live
when we must cry

:- Doug.

You can change the past
you can fight city hall
the last times of your life you can make matter
At least in the meaning to you
or work with them
you can live even then

:- Doug.

We are not limited to what our mind can conceive. Even our collective mind.

:- Doug.

Unfathomably deep
our conversations can go
if we allow ourselves

:- Doug.

Divinity seems
to me
subtle

:- Doug.

Opening is a gift you give.

:- Doug.

Of human despair
graffiti is a sign

:- Doug.

Winds swirl about
carry invitations
pick up your ears

:- Doug.

Emptiness is the value
of the cup, the house, the work day
tool unnoticed to work substance

:- Doug.

What will happen
is not to your credit
open, still

:- Doug.

Giving birth
you do not possess
ponder

:- Doug.

Carry emptiness
Opening
Keep walking

:- Doug.

The quality of the invitation
The integrity of the offering
Small openings

:- Doug.

God is in the unpopular places
and the populous

:- Doug.

Consider
With the stars

:- Doug.
