Outside the body and in

Spirit is not resident in the body
Rather arises from patterns
Outside the body and inside
Within the movements
The body is within

Do I circle?

Do I circle as a falcon?
Do I circle as a storm?
Do I circle as a great song?

My fingers can meet one another
Though one, stand up to one another
Turn with one another, one

The sharp and tangy flavor of life

Small as heard

Is there a spiritual work here for us? It might be as small as getting some people heard.

I-Thou no more

Say and write I-Thou
no more
rather I and Thou
so you know the and, the dash
really there stands forth, alive

Lost and sort

To be lost is to be entering the between in I and Thou; to sort is to be in I-It.

Fresh young old wise?

Is that indeed what conversation seeks: that the world perpetually seems fresh and young and old and wise?

Progress, but where?

This is some good progress. The thing about it is, I do not know towards where. That might be good: It tells me something else I do not know about conversation. Maybe even we.

Perception large enough?

If attention is narrowed perception, how then can we ever get a large enough perception to find reality?

Great boys and great magnets

Possibilities of what happened:

1. A great boy is experimenting and causes an explosion. After a bit he tires of the thing and wanders off to new mischief. The question is, What sort of boy?

2. Another great boy makes an explosion and stays with it, feeding the conflagration, stirring. Same question.

3. The explosion, or singularity, happens like oily rags self-combusting, only this “time” without oil, without rags. The shards continue going out, colliding randomly without end. The question is: Is there a why for the explosion?

4. A great magnet of sorts, more ethereal than physical, draws all forth and out, and if you logically follow it where “you” have been, you arrive at an explosion, a singularity, leaving you with a question: What sort of magnet?

5. It all never started, will never end either: It is like a perception in, or manufacture of, your mind. You see Mom as good, some other sees her as the personification of evil; there is no way for you to ever know if the color I see as the deep blue of the sky is the color you take in from the same sky. The question raised is: Is there a reality? What matters and why? It is all random and absurd? Where is love?

Whom they bring

What insights I gain now are not to be weighed. Received. Added in. Grown. See what and whom they bring.

Offer to you

You are giving yourself to me in these few minutes. It is my responsibility to offer myself to you—fully, without reserve, with abandon.

Discovery difference

If we “sell” by having the other sell themselves, can we use this principal to find Thou in one another? How are we to do that? We can ask one another, “What does it take for us to find the person in one another, for you to open to me and for I to open to you?” “What is common between us?” “You’re probably asking yourself, ‘Can I trust this person with something as private as this?’ I’m asking myself if I have the courage to truly open up to you. And then I say, ‘Here and now are only the two of us, and in a hundred years the risk makes no difference, but the discovery might make a difference.”

:- Doug.
