Are the medical people trying mainly to get through the conversation? Or to help the families in front of them? Am I?

:- Doug.

Anyone can work on the heart of humanity.

Engage others in
Engaging others

:- Doug.

I dig deep into life
The betweens, amongs,
And depth of life lived raw and open

:- Doug.

There may be miracles, and there are no 1,000-year old humans.

:- Doug.

Watch words for today:
Curiosity and Differentiation

:- Doug.

I propose a change in something above consciousness
To whenever any of us has an issue or opportunity
We turn toward one another

:- Doug.

This is how we change our now.

:- Doug.

How we demonstrate reverence for life: conversing
How we initiate change in consciousness: conversing
How we transform ourselves to more human: conversing

:- Doug.

Distilling to too few words
Wrings out all the life

:- Doug.

Ask too much
Ask total strangers to join the conversation
To transform our community
Ask yourself to give all to what
You love as service to humanity
Ask your circle to talk life and death with you
Ask too much too much

:- Doug.

Wholeness is life, life wholeness.

:- Doug.

First make sure you have an art
Then throw your art over higher and higher bars
Artists making great art (pay attention)
Care little whether they eat or sleep
All is borne in their art
All could be borne in your art

:- Doug.

Everything in your art.

:- Doug.

I am gathering butterflies to invent possibilities. Possibilities for living-kindness. We are at the center of the universe, and gathering those centers means new worlds are sprouting with the first word of conversation. The work is through grief and imagination, knowing that the world is a combination of what confronts us and how we interpret it. We ask too much of people.

:- Doug.

What possibility do we hold for our community?

:- Doug.

We can only do small local things. But since this is the center of so many universes, our reach is great. Since major things come in small packages, we can hope. We are where we need to be doing what we need to do to have an inordinate effect.

:- Doug.

What’s going on in your life that leads you to show up here tonight?

:- Doug.

What keeps you up at night? Candy Crush Saga?

:- Doug.

Goals fail us
Goals do not create
Futures distinct from pasts
Put cushions on the rod
Rather than break it

:- Doug.

Will you be alive when you die?

:- Doug.

What living can we bring to later years?

:- Doug.

Let’s invent ways of living in the later years.

:- Doug.
