What is the risk that humanity gets better? Why are we not preparing for that?

:- Doug.

I write now
of what I
cannot yet know

:- Doug.

Simply to die
not so simple

:- Doug.

May we now counsel
together for membership
each in the other

:- Doug.

Who are the persons in generations I serve?
What are their needs?

:- Doug.

Look around you
the shape of things
the sun and all stars—round
the tree trunks—round
and searching out
human trunks—round
and reaching walking out

:- Doug.

Under a heap of expectations God
crushed
suffocating

:- Doug.

God is less
. . .

:- Doug.

But wait, there’s less!

:- Doug.

All these things and less.

:- Doug.

Hand in hand
Walking down the lane
Fear and hate
Fear takes the lead
Throwing stones

:- Doug.

Not wisdom

:- Doug.

I, ancestor

:- Doug.

Elders are
not our wise ones
but our long rangers

;- Doug.

On the prowl now for some new reading material, something to help me step outside myself.

Hmm…the ultimate stepping outside myself is dying. Then we become big.

:- Doug.

Raise up your big humanity!

:- Doug.

An ancestor must point beyond herself.

:- Doug.

What is the conflict between who you really are and whom you seem to be?

:- Doug.

Hope, to be real, must be a synonym for risk.

:- Doug.

Is moving toward one another a stepping out toward life?

:- Doug.

Put yourself into
the human
circle

:- Doug.

You who come after
Carry this work further

:- Doug.

Get your head out of your wallet!

:- Doug.
