It’s a rolling 300 years.

:- Doug.

I am asking the impossible of myself. To converse with elders 300 years on.

:- Doug.

It’s becoming clearer to me every day.

:- Doug.

This 300 year project is a way to live beyond my allotted years.

:- Doug.

I’m stirring something in the species memory of the grandchildren 12 generations on. Maybe we will be mainly bio-machines by then. No matter. I am not in a hurry. The human race is not in a hurry. I’m on a 300 year project.

:- Doug.

Something of 300 year value.

:- Doug.

We are hard wired for competition, and we are hard wired for connection.

:- Doug.

Perhaps our competitive, fast moving bent comes from our reptilian brain. It is our neo-brain that is seeing a larger connection, compassion as Karen Armstrong has it, the value of conversation as I see it. So we can have compassion for those who move quickly, who grab, grab, grab, as overwhelmed by the reptilian. We can work to get people to move toward their neocortex and the things that derive from it: community, compassion, and conversation.

:- Doug.

Trees full of oxygen greet me this morning.

:- Doug.

Consider the 300 year value.
