Sometimes I wonder about you
Since you decided to move on
It took a lot of time for me
To accept, you were really gone

I made you laugh, I eased your pain
I did all I could think to do
You chose a bully over...Read More

When it's time for my fate
And my beauty fades
Stand by my side
Strong, on my right
Say it will be alright
The dark tunnel has light

When my strength fails
And all my successes rail
Remind me it's real
But it'll all rail

When it's that time,stand by...Read More

I could change my mind
about adopting you
no more than change my heart's content
about what is healthy
and what is diseased absence of integrity
and what lies somewhat uneasily in-between
within my contenting patient bicameral mind.

ProActive adoption
healthing my ego's affluent hope-filled exploration
and our ecohabitat's...Read More

I am in my newly adopted Green Sanctuary
enjoying our communal celebration
of all things nutritionally healthy

When the ecofeminist facilitator announces
it is now our time to light three candles of hope.

She invites our Greek chorus
to speak these candles' brightening intention.
Various voices give...Read More

You seem displeased.

Were you expecting more?

A pony, perhaps?  
A marionette?

What was that one thing
you mentioned before?

Yes!  Bingo!

Of the voices thrown and never shown their cries travel well

Abu-deeni,
Zekarian space queen
Ruler of the sacred realm, 
where resides the seven suns
that encircles the vast
Irthendai nebula islands
She, of regal royalty,
holds the scepter of cosmic fire
The energy of a thousand volcano clouds
crackles at the raising of her fearsome rod:
A theta wave...Read More

They were gambling in front of the house.
Manservants and pages bustled about
Serving Suitors who just curse and carouse.
Few mix wine with water. I heard one shout,
"Clean down the tables with wet sponges! Rouse
Yourselves! And when you've done that lay them...Read More

“The plants adapt, the people adopt.”
          Robin Wall Kimmerer, “Braiding Sweetgrass”

Plants conservatively propose;
people liberally dispose.

RNA organisms nature,
DNA humans nurture.

Economic environmental systems co-invest,
Ecological political systems absorb
to re-invest.

Earth bleeds cultures of health
and pathology.
Humanity...Read More

I speak not, I trace not, I breathe not thy name;
There is grief in the sound, there is guilt in the fame;
But the tear that now burns on my cheek may impart
The deep thoughts that dwell in that silence of...Read More

Reading Csikszentmihalyi again,
whose last name would be Csikszenti,
if Mihaly, his first name,
need not also bring up the rear of his family name,
which has nothing to do with anything that follows,
I am sure you are already relieved to know.

I continue wanting...Read More

In 1968,
a time of great concern for healthy human civil rights
for and of women as well as LeftBrain culturally dominant men,
Gregory Bateson invited a Symposium
not quite a finished Symphony
proposing Moral and Aesthetic Structure of Human [Climate] Adaptation.

He closed his invitation...Read More

This book of botanical images

of exotic plants.  Listed alphabetically are illustrations

     On The Evolution Of Liberation…

Once again
our humanity is taxonomically
mocked---no longer ¾
Homo sapiens---a step
just below
that of being human.  Rather, 
today, we’re an endangered species---
a modern classification absurdity
indeed!
Though endangered species
are protected, we remain
open season game through...Read More

Winter is gone, 
The snowflakes, melted;
The ice cleared
With bright sun shining above.

The heart, no more cold,
Layers of wool removed;
No more sheets required,
The temperature, not that low.

The sun, no more exciting,
The presence, scorching;
Ironic! the sun is different,
Stroke and Tan,it all has.

I may not be in active, thus, I may be proactive,
They say I am knowledgeable, But I am also approachable,
Though I am not generalist, However, I am an Specialist.

I am persuasive and adaptive,
Direct and indirect,
Sweet, kind, nice and persuasive.

Sitting inside panoramas pristine theatres, unblemished blockbuster seats!?
