We’re all working or stuck
We’re all working towards
The kind of world we want
Or imagine with which we’re stuck

What do these people
Play, curiosity, lightness. Let’s be curious: what do these people know, what do they do, are they doing some things the rest of us could use to grow?

Shadowy tail of ping
There is the shadow of the tail of ping!, the geisty gnomic happy fella who calls me forward!

Attractive holy nuisance!
So: a party, a love of the other conversants, a love of conversation, and a love by conversation of me: this spells an attractive holy nuisance!
:- Doug.
Attractive nuisance!
You wanna get something
Done in the world?
Become an attractive nuisance!

Someone with mileage on them
I prefer to get my advice
From someone with mileage on them—
This is a much better criterion—
If less easy to gauge—
Than years
Some people don’t cover many
Miles per year
Others, early on, make great time
Wisdom and practicality
Tend to go with miles
Not always with years
:- Doug.
Go a-courting
Invite the conversation because
Of love
Be in love
With conversing
With those you’ll engage
And back:
Go a-courting
:- Doug.
You want to be a success
You want to be a success
Will that make you happy?
Why not cut out the stand-in?

Forgive, for it lightens your load
What do we say to our children when they have a spat with a sibling or a neighbor kid? Go and make up. No need for judgment pro or con. Simply play together. Forgive, for it lightens your load.
:- Doug.
Can start with smaller
The invitation need not start with the full load 2 ½ days. It can start with smaller conversations. Let’s see what we can do, what we think, what we can invent, create, find. Build up to longer, deeper, richer. Find out who cares and how much.
:- Doug.
