The totality of life
Contributes every day
To each and the totality…

:- Doug.

The future has a life of its own
It is willing to hold hands
Even to play

:- Doug.

You have heard it said
Everything is made of smaller things
Atoms become buildings and puppies
But I say to you who have eyes
—Verily it is both ways around!

:- Doug.

She stands at the door and knocks
Asking a gift of you

:- Doug.

Our personal knowledge has an expiration date of about 3 or 4 score years. Humanity must eventually be leaving, creating, moving on.

:- Doug.

What humanity has discovered, explored, dreamed, created, opened, belongs to all of us. We boost each other. We are greater together.

:- Doug.

We are not spacelings dropped onto earth; we are an outgrowth of the natural processes at work.

It is an inside job
We’re working on the inside
Of a much larger context

:- Doug.

Our interrelatedness is part
of our wholeness
our sanctity inviolable

We think we keep the foreigners out
Their diseases and our resources in for ourselves
Think: we are excluding as well their gifts

Nonlocally intelligent
Spaceless
Timeless

How we interpret our world
says more about us than the world
What we see in the world
What we invent to interact with it
Likewise
Want to create a better world?
Be careful what you see
See separation, atoms, and wars
Or see diverse unity,
wholes bringing forth, people heard
Have you become machine or flesh?

:- Doug.

On us is recorded the whole, and when we look at another part of the whole we can see the whole. Jewels on Indra’s net presage this exact thing. We are wholes of the whole, diffracted, diffuse, yet containing all. Hints of the whole. Not simply like each other but parcel of the same.

:- Doug.

laser lights shine through film
recall all dimensions whole
our eyes draw lights through
each is shard of the hologram
when we look whole is revealed

:- Doug.

We have food and freedom that we might converse
we converse to share food and freedom
from gathering to loosening

:- Doug.

The dream converses.

:- Doug.

Important—See—One

:- Doug.

If I leave my insight-writing behind, I might cross into new terrain and can write that then.

:- Doug.

Whatever you leave others will sort out. Escape with your life. Leave the furniture. What do you care if others use it for firewood?

:- Doug.

Whatever you have has you.

:- Doug.

Tell us what you’ve seen
That we might see
Larger

:- Doug.

Thousands of fingers
tapping the water
crystalline flashes
rise up to welcome
nourishing rains

:- Doug.

Pray for the week: its meetings, its Work, our lives.
