TRANSFIGURATION

Distance helps you to see up close better.

Climb every mountain.

Get away from each other if you

really want to appreciate the other.

The gifts of the other make

their appearance when you 

don't have them. Thoughts

like these can lead to transfiguration.

"The best ideas are common property."

Seneca

GRAND CONNECTIONS

We are the voice and the gestures.

of our grandparents - and who knows

how much and how far back we go?

Is that why parents and grandparents

cry when they see their children and

grandchildren on stage or field?

We're mimics and repetitions of the past.

We are roots way back and way deep

in the earth around us - back and back,

down and down, deep, deep within.

 LIP SYNCHING

People stop listening to each other -

thinking, "I've heard all this before."

Maybe the nuances and the mystery

of the other person is showing up.

Maybe full attention will get us to

fully hear the other person. Maybe

the brand new, the original is here.
