Private armies: war to the highest bidder.

:- Doug.

Safe is the base
not the best
we can do
for our elders

:- Doug.

Legislation draws lines
creates thou shalt nots
time passes the books become
ponderous on our necks
we no longer run free

:- Doug.

Here have been idyllic days
in many ways
little work
much work
sitting
flying

:- Doug.

Do what’s right
people will hate you
and forget you
what do you care?
Love as you can

:- Doug.

Seek the whole, complete, fully heard meeting.

:- Doug.

By hand, by inviting,
by witnessing
we help the world choose

:- Doug.

Bend the stronger force
But choose

:- Doug.

Inviting is truth
Witnessing is beauty
Muscle is goodness

:- Doug.

Fear to die and become a drop
Disappearing into the sea?
Maybe the sea
And your drop
Is now

:- Doug.

What you say
What you think
Who you “are”
Flowing
Coming and going

:- Doug.

Have mercy
addressed to God
addressed to us
whoever has heart to hear

:- Doug.

Now is not some freeze frame
Rather of the whole flow
Flowing coming and going all

:- Doug.

We cannot say anything de-finite
About the in-finite

:- Doug.

Banks and flow and waters
Rocks and sand and human minds
What makes a river?

:- Doug.

Mighty river, many sources
drops and rivulets add
does it come from these
or is it by the sea
drawn?

:- Doug.

Can we meet a G
of a different shape
of a larger color?

:- Doug.

We don’t make up the universe
The universe makes up us

:- Doug.

any grain is the seashore
any drop is the ocean
any molecule the cloud
who but us
the wind?

:- Doug.

Diving in
is meeting is
diving in

:- Doug.

My friend
is larger than
I imagine

:- Doug.

For this fishing
throw in the inviting
then your self and soul

:- Doug.

Every speck blown
upon the wind
touches the larger

:- Doug.
