Below the rapids
Below the rapids
the river grows placid and
swift—we relax, breathe

Friend, help me see your flow, assimilate myself to it.

Back on itself
Persons amongst each other are in flow. We do well to notice and see, to go with the river rather that try to turn it back on itself.

Shifting eyes
How do we get someone to allow there might be another view? We cannot, of course. We can only speak their language and call up their fundamental motivations, to the extent we know them. We can point up perhaps that there are many different possibilities. In the end, it is up to them to open. We can only invite. We can stand next to them and see what they see, then invite a shifting of the eyes. Perhaps it is best to not shift too many degrees at once. What can that mean?

Invite, beckon
People are—
and as much as that
—they are moving
See people as streams; what we see as solid are snapshots, annual balance sheets, ancient history. Other people around touch, bump, stir. Ethically we must avoid spinning them the way we think is right, for how can we know? We can invite and beckon, but ought not constrain, nor manipulate.
