What do I know
What do I know; and what do I imagine: both can take me deeper. Perhaps both deeper than each.

Challenges of going to deep?
What are the challenges of my work, of opening space, of going to deep?
:- Doug.
There may be found persons
It’s fear, sometimes: fear of what others will say; or fear of my depths; or fear of not being able to sustain those depths—flat-footedness. Mostly though it is flat-footedness itself: lack of trust in my own playfulness. These hold me back, keep my mouth closed. So?
The result does not matter. Only stepping off into thin air. Only playfulness. Trust play. Trust others to play. Trust mistakes. Put a bounce into your step off. See where it goes. There will be choices to go deep. There will be found poems. There may be found persons. This dialogue of spirit with two or more is new territory. It will engender new skills.

When I am doing my work what do I imagine?
When I am doing my work, what do I imagine? Do I ever compare that work to something else?

Is imagination a stand-in word?
Is imagination a stand-in word for spirit? Do I touch something larger when I imagine? More, do I touch something more basic, more real in the same way the whole composes the electrons spinning so fast they seem to be solid matter?

Many voices within:
Many voices within: it seems important to hear my divers voices. Not sure what they are, but it gives a new view on why my thoughts fly hither and yon every nanosecond.
