Motion central
In a moving way we say. We have movements. We touch another’s core. Motion seems central to humanity.

A new people
We don’t need a new science nor a new technology, religion, metaphor, myth, and on: these are too small, too un-interwoven. We need a new people. A new people will create all these things and interweave their interweavings. A new people will create beauty and color and flavor and aroma. A new people will make a new juicy and flexible world: a new loving.

A week later!
How can the poet ever know the meaning, the understanding the poem carries? I think it resides in all the readers, too, and especially in all the betweens. I often do not know its meaning a week later!

to invent the new cannot be said
Perhaps we are stretching, exploring, reaching simply to meet, to meet the new, to invent the new. It cannot be said. No words.

The meaning and purpose of life
The meaning and purpose of life is to meet. In a way the job description is “to be interrupted.”

Footprints in the Windsm # 1698–Comfortable in this cocoon
Footprints in the Windsm # 1698
Conversation is a death, necessary to new life. We must give up whom we have been in order to become new. Not everyone wants to become new, to give up what they have been. It has been comfortable in this cocoon, even though everything is turning soft, then to mush, then to goo. I spun this cocoon myself, a lot of work and sweat went into it. I’d rather just sit in front of this screen.
Please pass it on.

Striving is our fulfilling
We are given to always fall short; for the same reason yet the striving is our fulfilling. Dissatisfaction then is our fulfilling. We can relax knowing that our embrace ever grows. We can relax that stretching cannot end, we play our part, our life vitalizes, life vitalizes.

Grasp eluded
There is no end to meeting, and meeting is the only doing, the only being. Even when we ponder the meeting in memory, we are meeting, or at least can be, if we have heart. There is no way to say this. Only do. Only be. Never completed. Always completing. Never whole. Always wholing. This the joy. This the reach. This the grasp eluded.
:- Doug.
