Putty-like
Experience is putty-like.

Woundability
It is not vulnerability itself that is required of us, but proceeding in the face of woundability. Naked in soul.
:- Doug.
Draws animals to you
Vulnerability meets touching the wheel. Dare to converse. To jump in. To say your truth. Put it at risk. Put you at risk. It is your humanity, it is what draws persons and animals to you.
:- Doug.
Influencing influenced
We are not action nor becoming so much as integral to the influencing influenced flow, morphing.
:- Doug.
Goals eventually are not
Goals eventually are not. They change as we move and with events and incoming information. They change us as well. We change them, grossly and subtly. They are thus never fully realizable. They do not exist except to morph. And morph us.

This one’s speech
Listen to this one’s speech. What is valued? Persons? Money? Things? Anything worthy?
:- Doug.
Keeping score
“Money is only a way of keeping score” we sometimes hear. But see: this speaker sees a contest, sees self as separate from them, from world. This one holds the world—and its flowing, loving—at bay. Would you live thus? Is this living?

Reciprocal relatedness
The strength of elders is our vulnerability—it’s what confirms our reciprocal relatedness.
:- Doug.
Not fixing
Social change leads economic change—so elders have a chance of helping the world (not changing, not fixing: helping).
:- Doug.
Vulnerability in droves
Embracing vulnerability is what moves us ahead—creates creativity—causes us to jump in—and elders have vulnerability in droves—so we can show humanity its creativity.
:- Doug.
