a flight of conversation
A flight of conversation/imagination: I saw a new design for airline seats: the middle seat turned to face the other two. Some people will be frightened to face strangers or anyone. Some will want to sleep, to read, to get work done. A mother will want to face her children. Some will want to be gregarious. But perhaps a few would be willing to open space and work on something of mutual interest. Could sections be set aside for these different preferences? What progress could we make if good heads and good hearts were to make solid use of this otherwise lost time?
I think otherwise the passengers will reject it entirely, and some might come to blows.

So make yours fun
If you nudge your grandchild to go to college, you will be surprised at her choice of college, major, and spouse. If you nudge the weather, don’t be surprised to have it storm at you. The nudge is yours; the outcome its own. So make your every nudge fun.

Of pictures and reaching
If we do not seek the picture whole, how will we ever reach for whole?

eludes the painter’s brush strokes?
It is work and frustrating to say what I see. It eludes my pen. I wonder does it also elude the painter’s brush strokes?

Where might our fun
What do we understand of the universe? Fragmented? Whole? Omnipresent? Let’s start here as we work out how we will deal with our world. What is its shape, what is our role, if we see it afresh where might our fun want to take it?
