Bring Sunday morning
Bring Sunday morning into Monday morning.

We can be intentional about inviting people to act with caring, authenticity, and responsibility—that is, in ways aligned with their own deeper values.

A collective reflective
We can be conscious about developing a collective reflective space—a community.

You help her
O Lord, help her!
You’re there—you help her.
Let’s both help.
Now you’ve got it!

We fail.
We try to write big. We fail. To write about this crying child’s bleeding dog bite is to write large.

Doing a larger thing within a constricted environment
It is possible to be doing a larger thing within a constricted environment, as when love holds a dying person and can only wipe a brow, as when a custodian sets down the mop to hold the hand of a distraught patient, as when a parking attendant gives an uplifting word and a silent prayer to a person entering the hospital.

Our last great speaker
We did not connect the dots for our last great speaker, did not ask people to connect the dots. We just sent them to the next session to hear a different maybe new idea.
:- Doug.
See: our world has no solidity
See: our world has no solidity
…see the little dots flying about?
…inside them littler jots orbiting?
See then: you are participant in the flying
…folding shifting for ever unfolding
…our world
…the field

Collaboration–we have been passive
Collaboration—we have been passive
—not been connecting the dots
—not been showing the bridges
—not been inviting to build bridges

Footprints in the Windsm # 1511–The right to do bigger things
Footprints in the Windsm # 1511
People have the right to do bigger things, to collaborate together. The truth is our society’s mold for meetings forecloses most possibilities of working together, exchanging and creating ideas. We take good ideas and work them down to bland and mediocre. We could work them up into action.

not to change the world
Our swirling and muddling can crack and rip the blocks between us. Then we can set forces in motion. Nor forces that change the world, but forces that make the world our world.

hugeness inside
These people have hugeness, vastness within them. We need to remove the erected walls that separate them, that lock them into ineffectiveness. Call it freedom and democracy if you will but let’s write it large.
:- Doug.
Sometimes I like prose better
Sometimes I actually like the prose form better for being more evocative. More unexpected. Spirit is unexpected.
:- Doug.
first write poetry
If we expect to do something we must first write poetry. We must engage something higher. In ourselves as well as in others.
