Everything is connected
everything is moving
however little or much

Let’s be whole-some.

:- Doug.

More participation, more life.

:- Doug.

What is our context?
Our home?
Where do we belong?

:- Doug.

Deep weaves.

:- Doug.

Deeper encompasses more weaving.

:- Doug.

Let’s make the context!

:- Doug.

Hey, Sugar! When you put together carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, you get…sweet! C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁

:- Doug.

The metaphor cannot hold
nor yet the metonymy
wordless

:- Doug.

I stand upon the surface of a bubble
upon the surface of a seething pot
I am myself a bubble
when a bubble pops
bubbles with again again

Do we have a grown-up belief, are our stories of our spirituality the same ones we learned in grade school years, ungrown? Have we more depth to find? Paul spoke of pablum. There is more to be found in those stories, and the trip to another continent can give us another vantage point. We grow up, and our understanding grows more rich and succulent. The children, the adolescents, the young adults cannot yet see what we see as we age in living depths.

:- Doug.

We belong to each other because we belong to the whole, we are the whole. Perhaps we are each and all a hologram of the whole, or a fractal, self-same. If we are self-same to the whole, to the creating force, then we are creating force. Chips off the old block, you and I.

Belonging and evocative: are these like Participation and reflection? Certainly. Are they like Unity and change? Yes again.

:- Doug.

Question everything
Not to discard
To find its deeper values
How you depend upon it
Question this

:- Doug.

The key to the conversation is belonging to the conversation
The key to the universe is belonging to the universe
The key to spirit is belonging to the spirit
The keystone of all there is is each ever-loving one of us
Remove one of us and the whole falls together because we belong

:- Doug.

There is no word or phrase which can capture and report all reality. There is an emerging view that reality is networked. Therefore I keep turning about and about and saying what I see; now I expect never to finish and always be complete.

:- Doug.

In the next 25 years we are going to have to teach ourselves a never-before heard language.

:- Doug.

Medicine relying on statistics is based on reasoning from the general to the specific. Law relying on stories is based on reasoning from the specific to the general. That’s why doctors and lawyers do not see eye to eye.

:- Doug.

Unity and change
Participation and reflection
Now a seething pot

:- Doug.

Only humans think
about thoughts: only humans
and the universe

:- Doug.

The weaving is now
the woven comes and goes
spring rains then flowers

:- Doug.

Souls and meeting make one.

:- Doug.

The plenty plenty of the world
is irrelevant
to the meeting soul
