We have a quiet little elder caring law practice caring for people caring for their family. For instance, we help these ways:

—Powers of assistance, if it’s soon enough

—If it is later, Judge signed licenses to care for (They are all learner’s permits.)

—Find ways to pay for in-home, assisted living, and nursing home caring

—We take the conversation deeper.

Similarities:
Asking—receiving
Asking—hearing

We are called not to listen
to that of God within
larger: to hear

We are the witnesses
The great cloud
What do we fear to witness?

:- Doug.

Can we ever
Say all we wanted to say?
Hear well enough?

Magic and miracles
are not necessary
to any deific
the unholy may be redeemed
the ordinary celebrated
and in that made sacred
these are holy workings

:- Doug.

Does time regenerate itself?
With the birth of each baby?
We each lovers’ kiss?
With each peace emissary
on a fateful trip?
With the morning star?
With our hearty greeting each new day?

:- Doug.

How do we live out the holy in our days and hours? How nurture the beloved community?

You are called to be father, son, holy spirit to those in your life every day, to fulfill these roles in your world. Now.

Is there coming a day
I will not be able to share with you
My flying soul?

:- Doug.

Why do we want to go without coats
this fine first warm day of spring?
to feel the touch of the wind, the world?

:- Doug.

Here, a series of statements. I could analyze the statements. I could analyze my thinking about the statements. I could synthesize new statements—or thinking about the statements. Or I could see the whole kettle in a larger kitchen.

Chocolate may be my mind-expanding drug!

Are there but two choices in time—
A beginning
An end?

Is old age simply marking time
Until you die?
Or is it making of your life
A work of art?
Is any day the same? Whatever age?

Words are mere maps
But you, poet,
have walked the etched terrain

:- Doug.

I believe in curves, spirals, rhythms, things which emerge, self-organization, and livingkindness.

:- Doug.

If you believe in life eternal beyond this life and I do not: you will choose whatever is right despite what the boss wants, because the consequences to you now do not matter. I will choose to do the good because it is the only thing of us that will make the world better beyond us. So we can agree both in action and being that good is better.

It is perhaps very northern and western to see time made up of continua of “opposite” “ends.” What if just circles blending into one another, a universe with curves but no end edge outside?
