Will you commit to thinking one long thing a day?

Please pass it on.

Who studies the development of humanicity and its spirit? Anthropologists, theologians, historians, cosmologists, poets, novelists, etymologists, humologists?

:- Doug.

A speculation of generations:

I speculate that in 11 generations there will be people my age to wonder about people 11 generations further on. I speculate we can converse with these wonderers. A bee converses with a clover blossom, a Labrador Retriever with you tossing a ball, a pile of puppies or grandchildren; so what is converse? I speculate there is a value to this conversation and this speculation. A value to humanicity. Together we might. Discover something to make us shiver.

:- Doug.

Audience and actors converse. Each direction—all directions—I surmise.

Fall into
reach through
full void

:- Doug.

I refuse to accept that humanicity is this way, always has been, will never differ. I reject that thinking. Humanicity always has the capacity to change, to grow, to bend its own arc.

:- Doug.

What if we encase this message in protein?
