is finding sacred connections

The earth does not roll over to face the sun

immature, inactive
incased in a hard shell
What is your question?

for future humanity
but especially for next hour

Of brain, heart, and will

To possible to resurrection to throwing away all

No limit
when we open our eyes
to the intent deep and ours

No return
From whatever path we choose
There are ever fresh jumping off spots

To be uncertain
Is to be
Looking over the edge
Of the possible

Reach for our road’s furthest point—
Schweitzer played his piano evenings,
found moments to relax and receive beauty
Jesus went off alone between reaches
They stayed not their feet
from their chosen road—
How far can our road be opened?

I see the spring
and cry aloud

:- Doug.

was from God
may have been God

I am circling
this unknown
larger circles me

:- Doug.

My poetry circles and circles
triangulates and triangulates
Only see edges

Emptying my mouth
Might empty my head
Open my heart and hands

Speak to empty yourself
Not to fill others
Maybe they will fill you

Speak out of chaos
It is a way
To disorganize

:- Doug.

What good could come
from letting in difference?

:- Doug.

Let’s meet
to roll!

:- Doug.

Security leads freedom
Away in chains
Choose wisely
