Give out your energy

Give out your energy. Expand, not contract. Conflict circles the drain when we contract. Giving our energy, our opening, can open the inter-relating.

Nerves and calm

That’s the nerves in conflict: we don’t know what the outcome will be. That’s the calm available in conflict: we don’t know what the outcome will be, but know that together we can find it. The first we see all harm, closing in on us; the second, all possibility we can open.

See together?

Hear out the other person, get to their depths, the emotions at least. Then see what we can see together, what path make?

Turn and face

Turn and face the same direction as the other person. See what I can discover and hear of their wishes, desires, and aims. Not merely what I think they are or ought to be. Go with them down their path and hear. Roll, blend, flow, deflect—don’t push back.

insides of our species

In studying eldering we are glimpsing the insides of humanity fully developing: not the insides of individuals but of our species: how together we pulse, breathe, and flow.

dry day spiritually

This feels like a dry day spiritually. These days are necessary. Spirit is not a feeling: it sits with us when the days are dry and the winds do not stir, showing us to sit with one another in those days too.

Who is safe?

Rather than let them keep us safe in old peoples’ storage, let us work to make our grandchildren safe.
