Thinking through
Thinking through
—through one another
—through the gaps among us
—through the aggregate of us
Speaking our holy
through
the all
of us
:- Doug.
Woundedness, vulnerability explore
Woundedness, vulnerability, sharing our weaknesses: let us explore. There is a power here. There is a courage that is more difficult than simply facing fear. There is a farther courage in showing our weakness, our wounds. Action in the face of fear is surpassed by standing forth in our humanity.
:- Doug.
What 9-12 taught us
9-12 taught us there is something in woundedness. There is gathering. There is opening to one another. There is acting out of caring. There is slowing. There is attending. This something is of our highest. This something, shared, releases our power.
:- Doug.
Not to solve problems
We’re not put here to solve one another’s problems—we’re to be with one another.
:- Doug.
What we know to answer is small
What we know to answer is small compared to what we must guess.
:- Doug.
wounded people daring to walk beside wounded people
In Open Space we are not so much experts who fix a situation as shamans—wounded people daring to walk beside wounded people—looking only to heal one another. Ultimately, we are people who do not know but are here.
:- Doug.
e unum pluribus
Our task is to Meet and Meet again. To be one in our diversity, e pluribus unum. Also to be diverse in our unity, e enum pluribus.
:- Doug.
Honor the time of dying
Honor the time of dying. Recoil not. Perhaps there is learning, even beauty here. Honor the time of dying.
:- Doug.
More tomorrow
Your God is too small for the really real. A greybeard on a big chair is a pipe dream we have told ourselves. Loving and creating flow together outward. Look here. I have not allowed myself the freedom I have. More tomorrow.
:- Doug.
Remembering how
Remembering how
Inventing how
At times that’s why we converse
How to what?
Die
Be present for this one dying
Be present for this one living
:- Doug.
My souls come and go
My souls come and go
within my one lifetime
we are many
we are flow
we are forever unfinishing
:- Doug.
I am a force for reflection
I am a force for reflection
discovery vulnerability
the all there is
:- Doug.
Both lose and find
Being heard
Absorbing another
Partaking of a deepening conversation
We both lose and
Find our selves
:- Doug.
