Faded ink
We converse at times through memories, as faded as that ink can get.

Home is a bigger place than at first we thought.

Travels without passport
Saul Williams said “Music travels without a passport.” What else travels without a passport? Thinking, spirit, relation, ideas, love, imagination, birds, fishes. . . . Not so remarkable a feat after all, except when we notice.

My father, the zucchini
A report says there is a new option when you die: you can be converted to compost to spread on your children’s gardens. So this is my father the zucchini, my mother the tomato, my brother who always seemed to be in the dark, the mushroom!

What matters is the touching
This dream overnight: Numbers floating on a transparent clear spreadsheet.
How am I to understand this? I can be clear and transparent in conversing with others. A level deeper: Numbers rest on something less easy to pin down, they float and come in and out of focus, in and out of relevance and importance. What matters is the touching. What matters is the touching.

What would your family say?
What would your family say about this question? What is different from what others are saying, what you would say?

Inviting Sarah
One key and new thing last night in my dreaming: I seem to have crossed a borderland, although it is totally feeling and realization without any words or images. And part of that is this curiosity: eager caring and trouble for what you have to offer. It is a change of direction from How we converse, to What we converse about. It is high time I entered the actual conversation, and this contact followed my sleep time invitation to Sarah. I have a grandchild, she told me her name is Sarah, she is not yet born, will not be born for 230 or 240 years. I invite her to converse about how to human better. With me, with us.

Living sheer hunger
Joy virtue
infinitely
unrealizably
incomprehensibly
curious
it is enough
to be created
to create endless novelty
embody
the tumultuously creative spirit
live our personal lives in zest
Practice conversation among generations; share all that is of value in our respective world-spirits; grow a truly inclusive community; a single mind and heart. Thus we work to increase our lucid consciousness and work away from drowsiness and senility. Live our sheer hunger for experience! Be loyal to spirit.
