All life moving
is a name

A way we change the world: let it find its way.

Finding its way does not for me mean that the world has a conscious intention to grow in a certain way, like a person does. The universe is made up of each one of us and all the rocks and waters and living things, and each contributes to what comes next. So for one of several trillion trillion to change the course of the alling is difficult. There is also a general direction, a flow, a principle toward coming together while expanding, in some senses a compression and an opening (togethering-expanding, compressing-opening). It is not that the alling emerges from the parts, but that as well the partings are emerging from the alling (alling-parting).

Open to them witness them

In this practice, I am opening my clients to a larger, more possible world, if only in little mundane ways: programs to pay for things, ways to reorganize financial details, how to organize this family’s days.

But maybe in larger ways too: ways to play with Grandpop, finding life all along the way, finding that the world is populated with caring. Their own included. And that of the highest.
