I’m antsy about using the word “God.” First, I know my hearers hear widely different things. Second, my understanding is getting larger and outgrowing the word-skins.

The wind is my brother
To carry me along
Carrying my voice out beyond my carrying

Come sit with us.

:- Doug.

I intend to be inmost to inmost with the grandchildren.

:- Doug.

The world needs your continual growth
The world needs your longer view
The world needs your intimate spirit

:- Doug.

The whole world is your grandchild.

:- Doug.

Let it be—intimacy—leads back to growing: growing together.

:- Doug.

We are all grandchildren
yet we may not all be ancestors
may not choose to elder

:- Doug.

Explore the spirit
of the grandchildren
of yourself and fellow elders
of all there is
explore our juiciest essence

:- Doug.

Creating precedes doing. Creativity is primal meeting.

:- Doug.

Dreams are symbolic of our creativity.

:- Doug.

We are in the privacy breach era. No longer do we have privacy and yet we want it. We identify with this privacy, calling it our “identity.” The only ones who have privacy are those taking our information for secret gain. Will we shore up our separation or will we become much more open? Blockchain might be a model—everything is known and accessible. Secrecy is then a weapon, a crooked, bent activity. No one sells my information because it is available for free.

:- Doug.

You be the one
to reach out
to the grandchildren

:- Doug.

Jesus’s power came when he gave up, accepted weakness.

:- Doug.

Sacred is your “I don’t know.”

:- Doug.

Record what you want to say to the grandchild you met at the fire.

:- Doug.

Streaks of blue
across the morning’s
cloudscape

:- Doug.

Can you think of a word to be a theme for your role For the Grandchildren?

:- Doug.

In a meeting, the other people are not going anywhere till we all go. So it is OK to sit and be aware of the show as the others thrash and thresh. Then simply go where the world flows.

:- Doug.

When we flow with the world, it brings a stronger power to our strokes. We can even rest and not work all the time. If we splatter about we get no where, and the person following the moment to moment, aware, is moving while not moving. Wu wei.

:- Doug.

You may think the water is level, still it leans downhill.

I need to be more open with my mysticism. And it is beyond mysticism to intimacy, inmost to inmost, elusive to elusive. This is getting closer.

Please pass it on.

Awareness is more powerful than power. The river flows downhill however strong the swimmer.
