People carry around awe: see how they step in to help a stranger? Even smile to one another? Their lives! Their minds! Their spirits!

Daily. Artfully.

Make a daily entry of what happened in your conversations that day. Most importantly, write it artfully. Why artfully? I can’t say all. I know it’s important.

Footprints in the Windsm # 2236–Heaving ground beneath

Footprints in the Windsm # 2236

We are in for even more heaving of the ground beneath, not just in politics, which is its epicenter, but in our very toehold in life. With artificial intelligence now let out of the laboratory, and with ethics thrown overboard, we won’t be able to trust our eyes, nor ears. The pictures and squawks or sweet sounds we get will have little relation to reality. The 2024 election will shove us into a molten looking glass world. Solid footing will be found only with great discerning effort. It might come to us in hugs.

The meeting place, the world between, this is where we grow. Between, not at our ends. For we are ever reaching out to one another.

world, wormhole, growing point

The conversation is a world, a wormhole between worlds, and the growing point of life. How is it all three?

Poetry & Conversation
Life & Play
& Bubbles
Like kernels of corn
Blazing

How can positive convex shapes fit next to one another comfortably? See the fat kernels on the ear? How do bubbles blaze but of a bright summers day & shimmering rainbows?

:- Doug.
