loosed of her mind

Where can the person
by Alzheimer’s loosed of her mind
take us
if we let loose
of our needs?
Is there some place more profound
than we know?

If to be alive has value
to experience
to see your mortality
then a person of accumulating years
and loosening mind
is worthy
for us to engage

Footprints in the Windsm # 1515–one person depositing ideas into another

Footprints in the Windsm # 1515

Conversation goes beyond one person depositing ideas into another.

It works toward inventing ideas, circulating them, tickling them to breathe. It works toward consciousness—knowing together—creating knowledge together. It works toward action.

Footprints in the Windsm # 1514–Than grabbery

Footprints in the Windsm # 1514

There be more in the human heart
Than grabbery
And pushing away:
There resides deep and seldom admitted
The need—the need—
For justice
For others
For binding of wounds
For being heard
For coming closer together
For coming closer to becoming human
