For the grandchildren should work for your inner world and outer, for the grandchildren in front of you, for the grandchildren ahead and possible for the grandchildren of past years. How might this be so?

:- Doug.

How can we change culture? Through the grandchildren. Money does not have to be the main force, nor does system.

:- Doug.

If the devil is in the details, where is the sacred?

:- Doug.

One thing that affects me about dying is that it is one of the profound times of life. One facet of the profundity is the connection with others. Another is its connection with something larger, ineffable. What other facets do you see?

:- Doug.

I want the energy of eldering to flow in and through me, not just out but in and swirling around, to be part of the dance, contributing to it all, now and through the wormhole.

:- Doug.

Elder, lift your eyes!

:- Doug.

A grandchild is every one of us. An elder is here for all grandchildren, the planet, and all there is.

:- Doug.

Whom will you stand by in a crunch?

:- Doug.

For the grandchildren is a mutual endeavor.

:- Doug.

We can do something about our generativity by thinking on it.

:- Doug.

Face west and you walk into the future…weather….and the past…sunlight.

:- Doug.

Conversation might be our wormhole to the elders 300 years ahead. It is in spirit that we touch the generations.

:- Doug.

We are able to make the time to invent new channels through which to communicate with the generations.

:- Doug.

Friend, into your unexpected now.

:- Doug.

I don’t know where this is headed and I don’t want to know. If I knew, I might try to go there—and miss somewhere else. Or I might mistake where we go for there.

:- Doug.

About what have you thought about a lot?

:- Doug.

We suppose generativity flows downhill, but for some it flows little at all, and for other it flows copiously both directions.

:- Doug.

How have you been generative, and how do you hope to be yet? What have you been through?

:- Doug.

Maybe your life doesn’t flash before your eyes, but floats on inner tubes on a stream.

:- Doug.

What’s up? What’s down? What’s side to side?

:- Doug.

I don’t believe everything I write. Yet.

:- Doug.
