Nouns claim too much
I am beginning to see verbs more accurately describing transpiring than nouns have been. Nouns claim too much of that sentence—and the thinking flowing through me.

Thomas Berry and the broken conversation
Thomas Berry writes that we have broken the conversation. So can we, tentatively as we must, open a conversation with the plants and animals, the large and tiny, the planet and the universes, with one another? Can we quiet and allow ourselves to hear, to take in?

My truth may be appended
My truth may be
Soul conversation
Yours is apt to be different
I will seek to hear
We append our truths

Could someone invent a tool….
Could someone invent a tool that would freeze a suspect with a suspected gun from doing harm allowing capture and later determination of whether there really was a gun or intent to do harm? Please?

Everything with everything
Everything converses with everything
whatever pieces we add to the puzzle
push others off the table onto our floor

this is not cause to give up
rather to rejoice:
we can and do touch the world

Fascinated we all watched
It crawl over us
Unafraid—it and us
Counting as divine love
Its differentness
Please pass it on.

Without a conductor or score
There is a conversation within our bodies (and heads) as well as between persons: with and between cells for instance when seratonin is produced and received and then your finger moves or “a light goes on” in your mind. Meaning turns. This dance, this symphony goes on all around and within us continuously and mostly without a conductor or a score.
