wet
We put hydrogen and oxygen together and get—wet. We put people together and get—conversation. We put conversations together and get—emergence.

Our son mows our huge yard
Our son mows our huge yard. Maybe next year we don’t mow so much. Maybe he won’t want to do it any longer. What we are doing works for today. Tomorrow something else.

reach out to someone different from us every day
Never before have we had to converse with 7 billion. And we must converse with each—leaders will not do, they have agendas narrow. Each person to engage. We must reach out to someone different from us every day.
:- Doug.
No one has yet
It is our job to connect forth: to bring into consciousness a global and universal realization of our human interconnectedness. This is new and difficult territory. No one has ever yet brought together 7 billion. Expect challenges and conflicts. We have done this in families, tribes, and to some extent in larger groups. Now we are confronted with so many. And still they come at us. How do we make beloved community? Or do we go backwards?

Beyond story
Is conversation only about story? No, it goes beyond what happened. Yes, it tells about its participants—and who they might be.
:- Doug.
Conversations
The breeze is communing with the leaves
the leaves gathering the spring sun
the birds calling out “It’s here! Come play!”
