At times on a trip
we need to stand back
and get our bearings

Fewer people—more responsibility
rests on each shoulder
—more influence—more significance
—more cooperation—more need to engage
—less opportunity to hide
—in meetings
—in working groups

Lying beside the little stream
My head dangling in the flow
Thoughts wash over and go
:- Doug.
I see myself as sitting above the flow of my thoughts in meditation/contemplation. Now I see myself below, being the bedrock with the stream flowing over. Now I am sitting beside the stream watching it flow, turning my face to the sun and all stars.
:- Doug.
When you’re sick and see your end approaching, money doesn’t buy you much—except fear.
“I might run out.” It matters not how much you have. People with money sometimes fear more. Money and fear go hand in hand.
:- Doug.
Loosen your claws into your thoughts. You are more than thoughts. Free your self to be your true self.

How to tell if something is alive:
You touch it
You jump—Why?
It moves!
= It interacts with its environs
= It’s sentient
= It converses

There are seven billion steering wheels for planet earth—you don’t have to grip yours so tightly.
