Footprints in the Windsm # 1935

Not our words
are we elders
to generations
of grandchildren
more a
tune in the wind
needing a practiced ear
and do we
practice giving
our ear
to our ancestors?

Dilemma with grandchildren

Can you conflict with our grandchildren and still love them? Consider Mindell’s 4 phases and NVC’s 4 steps. Can you develop a relationship with the grandchildren? Have a dilemma with them?

Only in a mirror

What can only be seen in a mirror? Reflecting makes visible. Doubling the distance, reversing the field, repeating back to us our complex thoughts and feelings, all help us entangle the knot and make sense, to hear how ready we are to come together, to name, to be heard. Percolation.

Why are the stories

What are the aspects of this course of study? Who are the grandchildren? What is our message? What is our collaboration with the generations? What are the possible futures we can see and classify? What are our possible conflicts with the later generations? What do we mean by an improved humanicity? How can what we write today have any meaning in 300 years? Why are the stories we tell, what we do, what we ask important? What is possible, before? Why should we care? Who are we? How do we engage the generations? How do we engage each generation? How do we engage our generation, and us?

A curious race

We are a curious race, ever seeking. A better humanity is an endless task, full of growing fascination. We will never arrive, and that is the point.

What might be better?

What is a better humanity today? We complain of kids these days, and loss of cursive handwriting and other things from our days, the conflicts afoot in the world, and we do not think as much as we should of what is good and what might be better.

:- Doug.

The whole string

It is for the grandchildren, and their grandchildren: are they, the whole string, worth our caring, not knowing where we are going, making it up as we travel, giving up on outcomes?
