Gone now. Remembered.

What is fire? It is neither wood, nor oxygen, nor heat, nor light. It is activity. Activity engaging these making these. Leaping. Here now. Gone now. Remembered. Imagined.

Will the campfire tell?

What stories we never heard will the campfire draw forth from our ancestral memories through our lips?

Deeper into the night, what stories will the campfire itself tell us?

Entwine two stories

Footprints in the Windsm # 1798–The human coeur

Footprints in the Windsm # 1798

If we are going to make a world hospitable for the grandchildren, it won’t be through physical constructs like planned cities, technological devices, drugs, even cyborgs. Rather it will be re-designing, or rather re-finding, the human coeur.

Footprints in the Windsm # 1797–The little tree dances

Footprints in the Windsm # 1797

The little tree envied the dancing of the little goats and lambs, kittens and puppies. In a wind her mama leaned over and whispered “You may; with the breezes!” And so she danced wildly with each breeze which came along, spinning it lightly, tossing her many many arms all about! What joy! And all the trees around clapped their hands!

When you caught glimpse

When you caught glimpse of us all as grandchildren, when you caught glimpse of the string of grandchildren on a long necklace, then you were of the long view, of the super human, of the elder.

What in life is the value?

Whom do you want deciding your end of life? Deciding what? What does this tell the grandchildren about what in life is the value? Tell the grandchildren…what in life is the value?
