the ripeness

To awaken the human race
To awaken the universe
It is the job of
One savior
—Us—
The ripeness is
Now

all afraid of the deeps

I talked with the guy I wanted to last evening, something kept him from going deeper. We are all afraid of the deeps. Before I can take another to the deeps, I need to hear him and her enough to find the light shining in them. This is subtle—because we have learned to hide it. Then I need to ask the question that invites this little thing out to play!

Shareholder a construct in the minds

The shareholder is a construct in the minds of business executives. He or she does not exist; so neither does the patient, the child, the mother who is the source of their work. There is no meeting, no caring. Only credits in a bank ledger. The shareholder is a ghost; the patient has dematerialized; life has left the edifice.

We stand on the borders
Wonder whether to enter

We do not mix

We do not mix with God
Unlike oil and vinegar
We are same substance
We need not shake well
We dissolve in one another

“opening life between”

A significant finding, is this “opening life between.” It is shorthand for Opening to the life flowing in the betweens.” And maybe more. Perhaps as Open living between. It packs in a lot. Nuances: the life is already there, we need only open to it. It lives, it flows, it is not an is, a noun, but action. It happens in the betweens of our presences: when presences mix, we are stirred. Maybe to conflict, maybe to imagination, maybe to fold our socks, maybe to speak truth to power.

not in the between of us

It is perhaps not in the between of us
Where we come to being
Rather the between of presences

I gotta have conflict

I don’t like conflict
But I gotta have it
Not because I want it
But because holding this tension is
Essential to life

everybody will always agree with us

We hope and act as if
everybody will always agree with us
and then we ourselves yell, Surprise!
This, this, conflict, conflict is human
So we are called to be humble

then we come into focus

When we are present, we become. We step into the circle, then we are, then we come into focus.

the verge of homo sapiens sapiens sapiens

The Internet and all the video eyes around the world through which we see humanity in the act has taken our ability to see ourselves to a larger and more pervasive level. Thus we reflect. We see more. We see overview. We are on the verge of becoming homo sapiens sapiens sapiens.
