Martin Buber says life asks each of us a question every encounter, and if we are to be a person we must respond. I say our response may be a question: Can you stand such a one as I?

See the filaments shooting
from node to node
you used to think we were the nodes
but now you see
the flashing threads are us
here for an instant or less
lighting up the Heavens

Footprints in the Windsm # 763

We all experience the events of our lives
the same way and differently:
We have the way of the human
We are individuals embedded in communities
within communities
Choices from the same list
lead to different paths
yet when we hear the stories
we can hear the same heart thrum
for home

2. Stories, pictures and questions birth hope.
3. Giving big enlivens us.

Footprints in the Windsm # 761

When we move beyond struggle
To see our impermanence as loving us
We expand toward infinity.
All moves from solidity
To ephemera, and back, and back,
As by a larger respiration.
The question is not how safe can we get
Rather how open can we be?
Are these for you good:
Wonder and surprise?

Why do we find it difficult to talk to our closest people about important heart matters? Perhaps it is as simple as stories. We stop growing together when we stop telling stories. Our need for stories is on-growing.

Footprints in the Windsm # 759

Have you ever seen a string of cows
at the waning of the light
headed toward their stations
to be relieved of the milk their chewing
through the day has produced?

How they can remind us of humans
of the workplace queuing up at end of day
headed home to dinner and television
to rest and make ready to do it all another day
nor looking to see beyond the repeating cycles

Maybe imagination will let us see
or some offhand remark show us
—if we choose to look larger and pay attention—
all the people (voices seldom heard too)
live out our lives: of our world, creators

What if we could come up with a new image for our relationship with terrorism? Is not war the image the terrorist thrusts upon us? Do we have to accept that image? Are there perhaps images of turning, working with, teaching, or some other that might be better?

Pulling the grey cloth overhead
do we choose to sleep some more?
Instead, selecting threads
we can weave with one another
a web of gossamer upon which
the lightest touch can alert
setting to the work of imagination
this whole woven body

See my dance,
hear the beat-beat-beat of the drums,
hear the beat-beat-beat of your heart,
take a deep breath, go!
Hear my song, hear my dream:
people coming together,
people of all shapes, sizes, colors,
dialects, stories,
people care,
people working,
people striving to create a new world,
if only in this corner of the room,
people coming together with others of like heart,
people seeing what they can do with what they have,
forgetting what they have not for that does not exist,
it’s us!
We are creating a new earth,
a new future, a new now.
We are solving our problems
and a few others fall with those.
We are hope
because we have heard, and
are still hearing,
and are seeking out,
your story,
but mostly you.
This dream demands performance!
You tell me about your lost child.
You tell me about your struggles with illness.
You tell me that getting your laundry clean is a too large expense.
You tell me that getting to work without a car is a challenge.
You tell me you care.
You tell me “Maybe…”
and my world starts to change.
A few short words,
a heart-light,
a mind embering.

What we need in this old world that God so loves is more turning to one another. Peace means wholeness, fullness, completeness, a place beyond space-time where everything is possible. We all feel as if we are outsiders: this then is our chance! We can include.
