How’s it with your heart today?

:- Doug.

There are no angels
there are no devils
among us
not one
We have more than these
woven through
mysterious angles
by which we bend
our small worlds
to fit
our chosen mood
we fractalize these
into us

:- Doug.

Be Human-saturated.

:- Doug.

Do our spirits interact? Do they rise on the airs?

:- Doug.

Conversation is training for the soul—of the Human.

:- Doug.

What would make Human healthy, whole?

:- Doug.

I’m a hot chocolatier!

:- Doug.

A goal is a place to get past; a stopping place; a quitting place. Purposes do not stop, are not able to be surpassed.

:- Doug.

Your last hot chocolate is a jumping-off place for Human’s next conversation.

:- Doug.

You can do a bigger thing than just stand back and watch—you can get your hands in the soil and add a wink to the gorgeous blooms hereabout.

:- Doug.

You can make Human whole.

:- Doug.

Conversation is about sensing movement.

:- Doug.

Who surprised you this week?

:- Doug.

Variety is for surprise. Human needs surprise.

:- Doug.

Hey old man! Simple man!

:- Doug.

Everybody is wrong—just not morally.

:- Doug.

We didn’t all go to Kindergarten; just as we didn’t all go to Sunday School.

:- Doug.

Every garden is local.

:- Doug.

Write larger, with more space between.

:- Doug.

Can I fall in love with Human?

:- Doug.

Look at this person the ither way; through your eye the ither way to.

:- Doug.

But even in the stories we concoct, we never get to real. Human always has the last word and she is a joker, ever delighting in surprise. That’s the point of a novel, isn’t it, and a poem? Add a math problem. (Math? Yes: for one reason because there is always a question beyond the question. Can you think of the other reasons?)

:- Doug.

Discovering what we don’t know can be far more fascinating that what we do.
