Best Communally Poems

In passionate psychology,
powers of proactive compassion
are generally thought of in personal
and familial
interdependently relational
perspectives.

In political science,
large-scale powers for proactive compassion
resist reactive competition to merely overpower the opposition,
preferring pro-active energy for liberal love
constrains against investments in conserving capital-hoarding capacities
feeding and fueling multi-generational greed of privileged inheritance,

Social altruism...

This story remains unfinished
as do all the best tales told.
Yet I must warn you
it has a happy healthy ending,
not dystopian,
although not a finished
political wealth utopia, 
Ever After LoveLife;
warm accompaniment
trusted energy of democracy

Where this power story begins
remains a mystery,
like a definition for "Tao"
more obscure than refining...

pale pink is the pre-dawn sky
"pink sky in mourning..."
today will be a pre-proceeding
- for some it will be the same
for some it will purvey monumental,
tsunamic, quaking, flashing innocence
as a muffled buzzing and pounding followed
by eerie stony silence enveloping the sun

FLASH! - what you knew you...

You mentioned you work with a therapist.  

Has she encouraged you to incorporate centering exercises
and holistic thinking and feeling experiences
healing interior and exterior nondualistic climate events
in your everyday thinking/feeling mutually non-violent practice?

Has she encouraged you to disclose what you can realistically pray for
while making...

Autumn leaves fall down, 
Ready, expected, aware: 
You would never question the event, 
Or climb a tree to pull one off, 
And then place it on the ground.   
So why question suffering? 
A universality so common and random, 
Just to be received and...

Children laughing when at play, bright sun rising to greet the day
Sweet cream added in my morning coffee, horses munching hay
A rusty nut that just breaks free, an ancient majestic noble tree
Wind at my back true point of sail, unfair bondage a man set free
Singing...

It might become too ironically
and iconically embareassing
to admit
I am taking a (s)hit
while exploring
my latest
and perhaps final 
nutritional surmise
compressing peak climax 
surprise

A well-capitalized
Systematic Theology
of EcoLogical Systems
is not such 
an inviting much
of a moving title

Yet herein
we might energetically
if not also massively 
invite "should"
raise up Yang's enlightening strengths
without...

Abiding Beauty
     By Dane Smith-Jonsen

Above the fern at the forest's edge, a butterfly gracefully glides.
Beautiful yellow flittering near tastes the sugary buttercup.
Flashing sulphur wings, happily spreading, upon a placid breeze rides.
The wild flower bed will not subside as the beauty drifts...

You and I may have decided
long ago,
and again more recently,
more ego-centrally
and now more large-stage ecopolitically,
that human life
has only that meaning and purpose we give ourselves,
we choose to embrace, 
however ambivalently

And this dissociation from divine
theocratically orchestrated
organized
operational history and culture
leaves us free
but also isolated;
an individual without communally...

The coincidence of Advent
and the HW Bush eulogies
reminded me of DJ Trump's challenge
to laugh about himself
at least as quickly and quietly as he laughs against others.

As compared to any recent US President,
he comes in dead last
for his appropriate humility,
willingness to sacredly listen, empathize with generosity,
and...

Tensions between professional teacher
or theological preacher
and therapeutic integrity
are as old as cultural wars
between knowing scientific methods
and feeling artistic expressions

InBetween noetic purpose
of LeftBrain thinking
and deep poetic meaning
of RightBrain feelings;
EgoMinds within EcoSystemic Bodies

How many times have I heard
I am a teacher
not a therapist?

How many times have we...

Imagine your favorite faith community,
whether sacredly vocationed,
or, more prosaic, secularly employed,
is also home to your local Green Freedom Party,
intentionally multipartisan.

This community intends to remain compassionately faithful 
to short-term local
through long-term global
public and climate health
of all organic ego/eco-systems.

And you believe
it is your most fundamentally sacred/secular faith,
that...

We have, I hear,
between each in-out breath,
only our integrity of potential wealth
for empowering health.

And so I feel compelled to ask,
What would it take
to draw us away
from our entertaining tools
and fascination with weapons?

To, instead, fall in love again,
with Gaian co-empowering outside healing places?

How will  we...

Sacred music and liturgies
are not merely leaves and flowers
produced by complex and richly branched
and sub-branched analogies
between ecological and theological root metaphors
of co-arising nurture;
between naturaLeft and spiritualRight co-experience
of Earth's spiraling revolutionary nutrition;
East to West horizoned 
healthy light intention.

Each regeneration absorbing fertile flowering fruit
to recreate communal caring...

EarthSoul has not evolved
randomly collecting objects,
like oil producing fields
and all-consuming 
deductive dominated
academic LeftBrain feasting infrastructure,

But EarthSoul revolves
within a communion of planning
and doing cooperative projects
with WinWin empowering projections.

EarthSoul mentors praying
and acting
communal subjects,
producers and consumers,
speakers and listeners,
teachers and learners
studying poly-paradigms for health empowerment,
thinking multicultural regimes and teams,
deriving...
