bedrock: molten
Build upon bedrock—fiery, molten, flowing.
:- Doug.
We’ve been treating the connections among us as a curious side effect of our meetings—Meeting as show. What if we saw these as the reason to meet—Meeting as doing?
:- Doug.
When we seek small
we purposefully hold a void
pregnant are voids with
mystery, question, story,
surprise, and emergence
:- Doug.
Hard to give the larger things much attention, when this disturbance is here.
:- Doug.
What is the essence of humans, of living, of spirit? It is continually emerging, continually surprising. Surprise and emergence seem to me now as equivalents.
:- Doug.
What are the deeps? The things that lead to joy, reality, touch. (BTG) Maybe not lead to, but are, more precisely, modifying, acting.
:- Doug.
Think about smaller and especially deeper. What does it look like? Stay away from practical applications, in the sense of making money or business work.
:- Doug.
Would you effectively lead out?
The led not the leader
Will choose the direction
:- Doug.
Slow, small, growth. Maybe not growth. Maybe percolating, coloring, flavoring, touching only.
:- Doug.
Smaller takes our world larger. Larger not in numbers and Dollars, but in possibility human. Larger in personal ways. Known, hearing, intimate.
:- Doug.
Smaller and deeper, further. It’s about making our world better: more human, more loving, larger. Seems we could do that.
:- Doug.
With large numbers and publicly
We want to say why, and that surface,
To explain, thinking many are not familiar,
Nor studied, nor may some care;
But with friends and intimate initiates
We can explore, maybe the wonders,
Maybe especially the fertile lands in which we are lost
:- Doug.
