The world is conversation
not simply in conversation
a spinning together

one appearing appearing many

Footprints in the Wind^sm # 1612

The killing of two bailiffs in St. Joe this week would probably not have made national news if it had not been for the three sets of shootings the week before. We are aware of such things, tend to connect them, although the last was disconnected from the others as far as we can tell.

It is good we are aware, seeing and connecting more. We need to be wise about what we do connect up.

There is something else of which to be aware: our very noticing, our very awareness, and the heart that it carries. It is saying this is wrong, we could have been right, we can still be right. Let’s try.

That’s what the protests and videos are about. And all the speeches and yes the name-calling: we can be better, we can do this better. We can be more human. We.

Please pass it on.

We’ve been to two 50-year high school class reunions, and I for one have no desire for more reunions. We, as well as others there, were looking for people we knew, and there were few of those, rather than ones we had yet to meet, and there were many more of those.

What if we had fairy tales for elders, which told the story of development when least expected?

We are advancing our desires
beyond individuation and independence
toward together in interdependence
