An advantage grandparents have over parents: distance, perspective, long-view. We do not need to deal with the immediacies of injuries, illness, discipline, and paying the bills: we can be mentors, friends, confidants.

Use your body as an antenna to receive what other bodies are feeling or sending. Mirroring posture and gestures is one way. Noticing discrepancies between words and gestures.

:- Doug.

Fill out the narrative—add some closer estimates to our guesses.

:- Doug.

Adventure in the
larger inclusion
—all is guess, inexact, imprecise
—all is open
So adventure!

:- Doug.

All conversation, all community, all communication is partial, entangled with guesses. Herein lies its limitlessness.

Footprints in the Wind^sm # 1763

Rilke’s widening circles
carry so much
I just saw
Falcon against the sky
solitary, ever on the hunt
Storm the turning of all the sky
Great song the cosmos singing
Might all of us
interweave
all these
as we shift our focus?

Please pass it on.

Seek your awareness.

:- Doug.

Actualization flows down hill
Love seeks its own level

:- Doug.

If you feed the boiling pot, he will erupt.

:- Doug.

To aim is to guess.

:- Doug.

Friend, flow.

:- Doug.

We experience quantum leaps all the time: in thought, going from one orbit to another without traversing any space between.

:- Doug.

Flow water flow
flow

:- Doug.

I use the word caring because it is something that I do…and something that I am.

:- Doug.

Image of flowing is visual
then I hear splashing
till flow carries me: I smile

:- Doug.

I can notice the numinous in today’s meetings, let myself express awareness of the holy.

:- Doug.

I am water
I flow
I kiss the river banks
I carry twigs and leaves with joy!
If a log is stuck I caress it as I flow on by

:- Doug.

Be aware of your awareness. And ours.

:- Doug.

Wink more!

:- Doug.

May there be a worm-hole
to the other side of the universe
to the other side of time?

:- Doug.

When you bring the sacred to our attention in the ordinary of life, you are a shaman.

:- Doug.
