Love Lesson PlanningFirst, imagine, if you can,
"Love" is not just a many splendored thing,
although it is that,
but behaviorists and existentialists behavioralize
the complex of emotions and consciousness
wearing that synergetic label
as active, sometimes spontaneous
"cooperation,"
an antonym for "competition."
Now,
Imagine you grew up
in a language
where "sacred"
and "spiritual"
are synonymous with proactive soul "cooperation."
And
"secular"

Foggy MayThis foggy sky
darkly and relentlessly rains
especially for an early May morning.
He is not prepared for darkness
seeping through new-born leaves,
not yet full grown into this year's trunk-lacing dress,
soaking up from saturated soil,
slurping into his compassionately
empathic zero-zen night
deep dark sensory flight.
Perhaps this open quality
endears him to...

When LonelyWhen I'm feeling lonely
and anxious,
small and ineffective
against depression
descending like a brain fog bank
In this Elder moment,
I have grown faith
even this chronic dark veil
will withdraw,
Although
perhaps not as sure of when
as tomorrow's fresh green/blue
worldview dawn
Naturally spirited dark nights
for ego embodied wounds
will recede again.
When I'm feeling lonely
and anxious,

What It's All AboutI did not expect
to sing
"What's It All About,
Alfie?"
with as much embarrassing 60s passion
as I did
in my urgent
pre-traumatic midlife
self-critical 30s.
I thought,
by now,
I would resiliently remain swimming,
singing while dancing,
swirling in abundant win/win
economic ecologies
of deep polycultural meaning
and wide multigenerational
bipartisan wisdom
And not so much stomping
and storming
to merely...

Wounding WorldI've seen Earth's epitaph:

Which sometimes seems to invoke anger
because I can touch what's broken
and other times provoke merely sad
because I can only feel inside
who is also wounded
Earth's living magic,
watered fertile soil,
red-blooded organic
green clean soul
