What are the pulling forces in my search to find humanicity? The tensions? Just here is the story to be sung.

From the end of the arc
By just that weight
Bend the arc
Justice and Truth
We cannot reach
The object is the reaching

Bending the arc towards what?
Bending the arc towards what? Creativity, meeting. These are each pulling toward and away from the other. Making pulls away from the known, yet pulls toward others when it meets their needs or needs them to adopt the new. Meeting pulls us away from self and imagination to others, and yet when we bounce our essences and our ideas off one another, we create. Picture an asterisk made with arrows.

ever a task to unfinish
Our task is to find people in our moments and that is a task to ever unfinish.
:- Doug.
Finding in this instant we meet
Is our finding limited to one person only? Might we know a gathering or a group? One on many I have experienced when I am presenting they suddenly understand my twist to mind, or I or we uncover their deep concern. Many on many has happened when a deciding body clicks into a shared direction and the decision becomes clear. Can we know every aspect of this group, its mood on the next day—or moment—any more than we know any other person in our lives, or ourselves for that matter? No, but we can find how and who they and we are in this instant we meet.

Unfinished tasks remember us longer
Zeigarnik effect—unfinished tasks remember us longer than finished. Corollary—a good bequest for the generations is an unfinished task.
:- Doug.
What every elder needs
What every elder needs is to be received grasped touched found. This the essence of conversation.
:- Doug.
If we still die
If we still die in your age, if it be not delayed, withheld, what does it give?
:- Doug.
