How shall we treat dreams?
Dreams are persons too—
How then shall we treat these babes?
For sure, we should welcome
Honor!

Tending, loving, caring
It is about loving the world and all in it. It is about making all better for the world and all in it. Loving, caring, tending—the world.
TLC is now tending, loving and caring for the world.

Living our giving
Are we living our giving? Writing checks is not philanthropy, unless it is all you can do, but often it is all we will do. Much of the time, there is more we can do, there is meeting we can do.

Dancing a larger circle
It is about making life and the living of it…larger. It is about drawing, dancing a larger circle into which we can pour our hearts.

Footprints in the Windsm # 922
G*d is service, sacrifice for all. G*d is giving her earth for all to grow upon, walk upon, fly within, swim within, her universes to soar within. G*d gives up all and therefore is all. Flowers poke up, babies are born and frolic, poems and symphonies! All from sacrificing. G*d is example. The more we give the more we live.

leads to living?

We can more widely nurture life
For thousands of years we humans have been working to sustain life—of ourselves and those we love. Now we have developed to the place where we can more widely nurture life, even new life, if we so choose. We ought to choose.

Every mother and father
Every mother and father is a story of responsibility either accepted or rejected or created. Those are the only three responses. And the highest of these is giving one’s self wholly, unreservedly, sacrificially, for in this we live higher.
:- Doug.
What is our responsibility to the generations?
What is our responsibility to the world and the generations? Do we have one? Only if we create it ourselves. Does it hurt us if we do not create this responsibility, make this sacrifice? Only in our spirits.
:- Doug.
What do we engage with the world to do?
We engage with the world community and with our descendants. What do we engage to do? To sit in front of our TVs and drink beer? Or is true gusto to give, to pledge, to offer, to invite?

We have responsibility to
