Life!

:- Doug.

See others for who they are in chrysalis.

No longer reverence for life
No longer reverence for conversation
Trust
Both sustain
Engendering

Trust in life for life.

Speak yourself.

:- Doug.

Sun on my closed eyelid
Yellow, orange, red
Warming stilling drawing

:- Doug.

I’ve been meditating since my parents told me to Cut the grass and stop daydreaming!

:- Doug.

I want to stay here, I want to get to that office work.

:- Doug.

I may not right the world’s spin
No one of us is granted this
Still I can touch yours

:- Doug.

I wonder if saying the softer is my way of stepping off the cliff.

:- Doug.

Things get lost when we drive
Mostly larger things:
Right choices, mindful action, humanity

:- Doug.

Yarn pulled me in: a story, a softness, a quiet reflective time, hands busy.

:- Doug.

Must teachers know beforehand?

:- Doug.

In every day seek what’s uselessful.

:- Doug.

Teachers: Elders teach us

:- Doug.

With a pile of grandchildren
Tickling, wrestling, laughing:
A good model for conversation

:- Doug.

Converse here now.

:- Doug.

Set off. Love.

:- Doug.

Respond. It is your responsibility.

:- Doug.

Reverence for dialogue

:- Doug.

If you’re living, you’re growing.

:- Doug.

Responsible are we
to put our selves
at risk

:- Doug.

You can’t save your parents from death. As your parents find there are things they can no longer do, you are also losing something—your adequacy. You have not the money, the time, the energy, the wits to do everything for everybody—particularly those you love most. Choices and vulnerability become the better part of your life.
