We are as Moses: heading off, wandering, seeing but setting foot in the promised land only through our grandchildren. :- Doug.

I am reading Peggy Holman in her Engaging Emergence: beyond what she is writing. She writes about organizations and communities getting things done now; I read about communities of generations caring for the qualities of humanity: humanicity. :- Doug.

We don’t know, nor can we, what effect our stories will have. We only know the intentions with which we offer them. So our stories and intentions must be open to our hearers. Should we have any. :- Doug.
