Ever more tangled
Things & people & groups
Ever more tangled
Conversing complexity creates and resolves
Opens next
& in resolving is the creating

Little floater in my eye
Little floater in my eye
When I look at you
You float away you fly
:- Doug.
Conversing, the artist
Conversing is the artist
Painting us
Many hues and
textured notes
our feet jangle!
:- Doug.
Winds persuade clouds
Winds persuade clouds
Mighty rivers & smallest rivulets
Carry along living and not so
Communicate with their banks
Banks holding worlds and worlds
Commerce!
Trucking goods
Rendering needed services
To one another
Conversation is a
Force of nature
:- Doug.
The clearing is in the wood
The clearing is in the wood
The wood is in the landscape
The land is surrounded by waters
This wet globule is in the galaxy
And all this and more
And you
Sharing the necessity
Of accepting
This the the place and time we are
:- Doug.
The fabric does not need to remember
A new sheet of paper
Takes from view
Yesterday’s poems
But not how they stitch your life
Still nor the universe as well
The fabric does not need to remember
Its weave
:- Doug.
A clearing in midst of forest
A clearing in midst of forest
Our conversation takes us to
Courage here, trust to go into the tangle
Where sisters creativity and the next
Live
:- Doug.
Synesthesia
Synesthesia
Each brings light
Gathered, the light sings
Its texture inviting us larger
Inviting us home
:- Doug.
An enigma
An enigma
the more we release into the group our separateness
the more we become individuated
:- Doug.
You get hauled out and hanged
risk there is in opening space
a big business risk
a third option may be found
and all will choose
what you had not foreordained
or you invest 3 days and
all those brilliant minds
and no one has any good new ideas
or some fervently held idea
of yours will be vaporized
or the group might explode
or you will discover you were never in control
and this truth will end your past
or you face a coup
and get hauled out and hanged
:- Doug.
the larger risk is in not gathering
1 + 1 + … a together soul
.= awareness shift
.→ transformation of person, pottery, planet
silence togethering
spiraling seeding
.we converse for a larger collective
we are a larger
.we gather to share a risk
(the larger risk is in not gathering)
.we see and put to use our essential selves
we can name our world with more than one name
people get heard—no small matter
people hear more of themselves—nor a small matter
we can be wise
stillness enters and lights sacred fire
:- Doug.
Stop, notice, this in not progress
The circle larger the circle smaller
You + me + the circle: three
And more: a felt shift of awareness
Stop, notice, this is not progress
Sometimes transformation
:- Doug.
But we both want to
It’s a dance
—The next coming to meet us
We calling it via paths we favor
Sometimes one leads…
But we both want to
Hold and be held
And dance!
:- Doug.
