Notes About The Poem

Laotse said that he recognized his wisest disciples through their laughter at/with/within his dipolar co-arising teachings.

Those Ecotherapeutic Smiles

Our most entertaining wise prophets,
our saints and messianic geniuses
are those who mentor us about what not to do
to sustain abundant loss,
how to recognize those who could not possibly truthfully communicate,
which scriptures could not predict healthy faith again,
how not to become retired,
how to cooperatively come together,
how not to uncompetitively fall apart,
how not to commodify one's life and relationships 
to other rentable people,
and other marketable natures,
and why compassionate communication
cannot be confused with aggressive miscommunication
or emotionally negligent uncommunication.

Polypathic saints without a globally embracing sense of humor
about what we should not be doing and being,
yet continue becoming despite our organically enlightened orthopraxis
and polycultural health plans,
are either tone-deaf hypocrites,
unwise liars,
wrong warriors,
or all of the 
hearts
and minds
and bodies above.

Under our shared Sun,
on our synergetic Earth,
nothing grows more grace-filled,
or karmically appropriate,
or mindfully compassionate,
more content,
more enlightened and wise,
than optimally sustaining a kind
and mutually grateful sense of humor
about our interdependent egos,
neurosystemic lives,
liberal futures and conservative pasts, 
our messy shared-Earth home,
a paradise of stand up together comedic opera,
and mutually co-invested applause,
however silently smirked
through soft-eyed gold horizon 
hynotizing stares

Searching for remembered
reassuring twinkles
of Earth's encircling stars.

A sure sign that one has found absolute truth, is when one has developed a sense of humor! Agape, Moses
