The words we lose
The beauty we find
The beauty takes away our breath

Let us be available to people
Inviting
Accepting their expressings

Unsafe for whom? The nursing home patient or the nursing home administration?

Love is not normal
Love is not comfortable
Until you dare

The Divine Conversation

:- Doug.

Conversation is the prime tool to divinize our culture.

:- Doug.

Am I about the humanizing of culture?

:- Doug.

Matter may be related to mother.

The nurses and CNAs are untapped resources of information, intelligence, and heart. They are the sensitive fingertips of the beast, able to detect, able to handle delicate operations: able to bring meaning and human touch to a mechanical checklist—if we allow them.

:- Doug.

We are not lumps, we are moving.

:- Doug.

Memory may be stored in the betweens of cells, the neighborhoods of the cells, the dendrites. There are more than a few connections made by each cell. If one cell dies, then do our memories run up a road ending in a field? Have our memories not died but simply disappeared, been cut off? Can we grow new ones?

:- Doug.

We are more humankind the loving than man the wise.

:- Doug.

“We are human beings, not human doings,” the man said. However the phrase is not a definition, a limiting of all possibility. In point of fact if we look we see that we are very little more than what we do for one another beyond our loving. The evidence is that we are human lovings.

:- Doug.

I don’t worry how good was any particular conversation. There was a conversation. A living thread was spun.

:- Doug.

Why do I close my intuition?

:- Doug.

People with people working on caring for one another we are.

:- Doug.

Being is a form of doing.

:- Doug.

From cars to czars

:- Doug.

Let’s not steal from someone their death.

:- Doug.

Conscious is something we do…together.

:- Doug.

I will not sell, I will not tell
I will simply ask you to converse
Conversing we learn what we think
Conversing we become aware of our world
How it and we change one another

:- Doug.

We are not conscious until we converse. I will not prove it to you. I will simply ask what you each think of what’s in the lead story of today’s news. When you each have had your say, I’ll ask you again.

:- Doug.

Conversing we bring the fugitive to light
The inkling out in the open
We are not conscious until we converse

:- Doug.
