I would love to take away your certainty. And mine. The only thing that can give us life is meeting uncertainty—in one another’s face.

:- Doug.

I am a prophet to…myself.

:- Doug.

It’s more important for me as a lawyer to participate in my clients’ lives than to carry to them a message.

:- Doug.

We can unfold the power of our uncertainty. We have freedom to live.

:- Doug.

Be a participant in another’s life. It is a higher Work than carrying a message to that one.

:- Doug.

Hold up a social mirror for us: How much respect does that show? Love? Reflection? Seeking toward understanding? Seeking for reconciliation? Are our words soft enough? Are we? Are we participating in one another’s lives or rejecting them, putting ourselves apart?

:- Doug.

Money does not make one substantial
Substance does not live there

:- Doug.

Telling our pain
brings us truth
and reconciliation
brings us to now
opens to us hope

:- Doug.

People want to be spectators around him. And so they will ever be. People feed off his anger, feed their own. And so they will ever be angry—with him. Then there comes the day when they have to get to work with each other. Something must be done and they want to roll up their sleeves. And anger does not work.

:- Doug.

Let us be conservative—of energy, of our home. For humanity’s long run over eons we can generate abundance.

:- Doug.

Reflecting is conversing.

:- Doug.

Reflection, meaning, and intent give to the moving world quality. Beyond what, where, and how, a who, and a why.

:- Doug.

Conversing at the center tends to explain why everyone is moving away from each other and with alacrity. There is a force akin to dark energy pushing outwards, strong as the attraction akin to dark matter, pulling together.

:- Doug.

If conversing is at the center, intent, purpose, reflection, meaning, and consciousness is at the center of that.

:- Doug.

The world is made up from the center; all this is centers. Conversing.

:- Doug.

Conversation at the center.

:- Doug.

Generous is generative.

:- Doug.

Withhold and your larger self will be withheld from you. Embrace and you will be embraced. Participate. Accept your invitation. Be generous.

:- Doug.

The generosity enforced through the tax collector is a legitimate function of government, for one purpose of government is to facilitate community. We are only truly human and self realized when we move beyond ourselves, serving something larger—others. It exercises the power of us to come together.

:- Doug.

There is no you
no me
only we
the we bigger
than we imagined

:- Doug.

Drinking in the green of the trees, the grass, the bushes this morning. Green brings us back to reality.

:- Doug.

Have also been thinking of dropping into slow motion, particularly when there is something important to do.

:- Doug.

Drink in the green
with your eyes
