Question wrestles you
What is a live question, one which wrestles you, about which you can bring to bear your longer view?
:- Doug.
Our widening circles
Eldering: where are the needs in our widening circles? What do we feel called to address? How might we help one another do?
:- Doug.
This is the course of eldering
The question can be restated as What is our courage to be, simply to be, here, now, to stand up and out in our world as it meets us? We have a nothingness and meaninglessness in which we are to stand and be and to bring meaning and love. This is the course of eldering, the work when we elder a grandchild, our circle, the world.

Footprints in the Windsm # 1682–Do truly the next thing
Footprints in the Windsm # 1682
Get out of the way
Surrender witty
Let go making the big noise
Sacrifice outsmarting
There is plenty of you
Infinite infinity too
Do truly the next thing
True reveals you
Quietly now, become one with this
All happens between—O adjective! O verb!
Let the good come through
Please pass it on.

I’m an infection
I’m an infection
a dis-ease
seeking to afflict you
with life with love:
with conversation

how lovely how fierce
There is a kennel
where some keep their god
and only take it out
on a chain
to display to onlookers
how lovely how fierce
are they
