Bring surprise
Bring together
presence with absence
space with time
passion with responsibility
we will surprise ourselves
:- Doug.
Let us bring food
Let us bring food to office and meeting rooms
eating and gathering and food preparation
to places where humankind today feels least welcome
an act not of rebellion
but of humanity
:- Doug.
Why do we seem to seek to make things bigger?
Why do we seem to seek to make things bigger—grow our membership, make new friends, make more sales, have a bigger government? It is so pervasive it seems natural. The Israelites wanted to be as numerous as the grains of sand on the shore. We want to explore. Could it be, could it be, we desire to touch each other, to touch all, to be one with all? Is it a spiritual essence to us?
:- Doug.
See the way easier
See the way
easier, then, for another to see
even if others have seen before
you ease the way for someone
saying might help but is unnecessary
:- Doug.
Whispers swirl about us
Whispers swirl about us
hints of other minds alive
breaths seeking to be heard
particles composting, steaming
whispers all about us, holy
:- Doug.
this crystalline moment-place
It’s all yours
Whatever will be made
Of this crystalline moment-place
:- Doug.
The peace of conflict
You are invited to hold
The fullness of generosity
The germination of endings
The peace of conflict
The action of rest
:- Doug.
Our space
This space is our space
This space is their space
This space is always open
This space is always closed
This space is always here for us
Nothing belongs to it
Everything is conceived in it
:- Doug.
Look a direction larger
Holy, holy, holy
Other, other, other
Turn your eyes
Look a direction larger
Turn, turn, turn
:- Doug.
‘Tis our desires pull us up the mountain
‘Tis our desires pull us up the mountain
Yet they cannot do that work till we
Open our mouths to let them out to converse
:- Doug.
First our midst, Second our reflections….
Opening space happens in
Our midst
Our reflections
Our essences
Then our betweens
:- Doug.
All together
All together
Moving
All together
Creating
All together
How do we choose direction?
One starts moving
:- Doug.
Touch their stories and dreams
Sustainability keeps our focus on things, the kind of thinking that got us here: Dollars and numbers. We need attention shifted to purposes more living. The advertisers are shifting to human. Let us turn and use them to get to the hearts and minds of their clients. Touch their stories and dreams.
:- Doug.
