When we gather: attention
When we gather something forms
Call it center, betweens, music
But attend here

“American Sniper”
Last night we watched the movie “American Sniper.” It had me noticing what we do to our best and most committed: we mess up their bodies, their heads, we kill them, we fail to treat them well medically when they return, we throw them out. And this on both sides. Yes, there was evil on the farther side, but also on this. To what extent was the evil generated by the size and ego of the governments involved? Has the nearer side done anything to feed the hatred from the farther side? Are there any innocents in the power realms?

a calming demeanor
Meditation/contemplation has been good the last few days. I think it has been giving me the larger attitude, the one that allows me to not invest emotional or meaning-like energy in what I am observing. I like myself when I am able to do that: I have a calming demeanor, not isolated from what is going on, but actually more engaged in some important way.

stands a chance
If we gather people with more questions than answers, more uncertainty than assuredness, more tears than laughter, something unexpected, richly nuanced—and real—stands a chance of emerging.
