Nothing to teach
I’ve nothing to teach, plenty to invent!

New vantage
New vantage + story + 300-year focus + conversation = our course to kinder humanity
:- Doug.
Somehow one story
The generations, 300 years ago, 300 years ahead, and now, are writing the one story, somehow integrated into one. One story.
:- Doug.
Sense of the whole
Having saved only 1 person’s letters we yet get a sense of the whole conversation. So too with the 600 year conversation.
:- Doug.
hand in hand
Conversation most often is or embeds story—what happened, our pain, our celebration, our dream, the new plan will carry a brighter day. Conversation and story are not the same but they often can be seen walking hand in hand.
:- Doug.
Come explore and engender
We are the first fourth generation: an added cohort between householder and decrepit. We have health, freedom, and a long view. We are in the perfect place to cultivate a kinder, sharing, caring humanity.
Might there be a first fifth generation, even a first sixth? Are we the limit? Is this as good as humanity can get?
Come join the exploration, the conversation, the journaling, the meditation/contemplation, the stories, the silence, the imagination, and help us find better ways to engender beloved community.

we story in common
Conversing with the 300-year people is about communion. What we hold in common. We are the animals who can see what we have in common, can story about it.

Silence can be communion
We know silence can be communion
Can we figure out that conversation
Is not in words?
:- Doug.
1st 5th and 1st 6th generations
Can we raise our eyes to see the 1st 5th and 1st 6th generations, to converse with them? Are we the limit? Is this as good as humanity can get?

One voice
One voice—yours, mine, hers, his—breaking
silence sends forth winds of a kinder humanity

Murmur

your story
your song
your hearing
to letting out our breath
to expressing
to our humanity

Breaking story
We not only make story we break story. We break the trance of the not quite true story.
:- Doug.
jounce our feet
Set up a pattern
a beat
a rhythm
clap our hands
jounce our feet
kindness and caring
sharing our real
