Premium Member Sharks In the Soup

Soup’s unique tides have ebb and flow.
Soup’s currents steer time as it goes
when her poets navigate thru it.
Winds slice all time-sails to tidbits.
Soup’s sea of discovery 
floats each voyage diversely
towards and from the found and missed.
So much to read, many still to meet,
so none coast back to land complete.
Not even a list would assist
with click history that twists.
It is best to simply not resist
the route on which Soup Sharks insist.
Sharks of hurdles swim Soup circles
squeezing time with sharp teeth gurgles
that leave Soupers mere time kernels.

Premium Member August Trance

Watching the clouds at dusk
   and the deer in flight. . .
      I wait for these beauties to cross.

The hue of the sky
   morphs from ebony ~ scores navy blue;
       headrests of angels tucked away.

Camry headlights illuminate
   the warm-green of oak and moss;
        unsettled as the shadows shift.

The floodlights hover
   over the blue mountain poly-tarp
      with potential nightlife.

Exciting the thrill
   of heightened landscape — friends
       of the sun, strangers at midnight.

Diversely the ho hum
   of security, under the lamplight. . .
        in front of the smart t.v.

nevertheless

August trance of romance
   the images framed —
      God of fame, gifted them.

Premium Member Peaceful Accounting

Y/our relationship with ecology and economics
incarnates polypathically,
multisystemically therapeutic,
like positive human relationships
and richly fertile sacred dreams
between DNA's biological unfolding and Vitamin D's 
absorbing ways.

Our actively cooperating economic design,
political intent,
power assumptions,
love,
light of truth,
beauty,
multisystemic refueling therapy
for ego and ecohealing community,

Appositionally driven 
shriveled by exhausting lose-lose practices
feeding shriven anger,
silos of fear and suffering,
haunted by monopolistic 
monochromatic 
mindless monocultural nightmares
of Black Hole entropic proportion,
socioeconomic pathology
wilting and suffocating purgation
monotheistic punishment
pantheistic imprisonment.

Black hole reverse-eco-normic competition
never ends with enough,
timelessly continues longing for infinity 
of heaven at hand.

Ecological cooperation soon builds diversely inclusive sufficiency,
together,
healthy warm kinda wealthy,
but just right,
pricklygoo co-invested 
muse amusing culture.

If we don't fly apart first,
we might learn to fly 
and swim 
and breathe together,
drinking from the same aerobic/autonomic fountain of knowledge,
in bull-bear fueled nutritional flows and ebbing markets
polyculturally optimized self-with-other resilient design.

EcoTherapy practices peaceful Earth development, 
proactively nurturing
co-passionate bipartisan 
notBully/notBear balanced
therapeutic EarthTribal nutrition.


Premium Member Beloved Peace Train

To remain neutral on our moving train
help me know which way we're spinning,
how fast,
when we might slow down,
how much,
to sustain polycultured rich neutrality.

How do I sleep
while SuperEco-logic Earth Day 
strains and trains to stretch for here in now?

Stuck in nightmare time too fast,
stride too slow
unable to will-force our faster pace
or slow-growth race,
but both together falling
leaps reopen terrified
reassuring wakefulness,
in sleep I can be you and there

while longing here
belonging both as SuperEgo We.

Hey!
Ground of All Being!
Elder cellular horsepower!
Wake up!... Scream!
your ultraviolet pitch
and flow-echo waves,

We would be more humane
to dinosaur-whisper amongst ourselves
diversely radiant Golden Ecologics,
empathic SuperEchoing
EarthTribe Originating Call:

Let our nutritious moose power free
flow animate leg-kicking stories,
hibernating through Yinnish Winter's advent,
to graze through Spring,
and Yang prance Summer's maturation dance,
to harvest Fallen permaculture compost
winnowing while predicting cooperative apple commodities
luscious pregnant seed:

Spring forth to ride and run this SuperEco Train,

Hey!

Premium Member Stable Diversity

Nature loves diversity
just as air abhors a vacuum.

Stability lives in staged apposition with diversity
as Yang predicts Yin,
as time moving stably forward
predicts time imagined more diversely
as the history of regeneratively slow-evolving Earth.

Stability, without conjoining diversity,
is a highly subjective attribution
when blanketed across a lifespan,
when covering a generation of interdependent lifespans,
even when defining a genetically stable species
across many re-stabilizing generations.

What is stable within a life
is what is reliably conserved,
like a heart beat,
and breathing,
digesting and eliminating,
consumer and producer functions,
economic and political forms of conserving balance,
cooperative survival of the best interdependence
more than competitive Win/Lose frictions,
or all thoughts and feelings of stability
disappear.

Conserving stability over a lifetime
is a highly subjective attribution,
perhaps too broad and sweeping,
too global and universal
too totalitarian
too elitist biased
to be more microscopically accurate
across any one lifespan.

For example,
the growth rate of an infant
could not be stably conserved
throughout an eight-decade human life span,
nor could the constant two-year old questions, Why?
conserve stability
in a four-decade middle-age climate
of chronic crisis 
about half-empty ecopolitical ego-stability.

Adolescent adventures in gender-related competitions
over multigenerational cooperations
could not stably conserve
a marriage
or a nation
or a planet
across a regenerative trans-speciating lifespan
of co-domesticating creolization,
democratization of shared wisdom,
health,
wealth.

I wonder if conserving stability
of bilateral mind,
and centering on stability with diversity body
more likely matriarchal than patriarchal,
oriented toward health and safety
across eight positive WinWin regenerations,
at eight-decades of humane life,
facing immanent individual ego-death,
could already be conservatively stabilizing
in the bicameral mindbody
of an infant child,
or even a stuck in adolescent competitions
patriarchal-dominant
nation?

Premium Member Commerce of Communion

Competing to weaken inappropriate business models for healthy government
too industriously advocating automated capital-enriching violence
despite co-arising globally stressed-out climates
is not an eco-theologist apologist's leading non-trump card.

Connecting intentionally cooperative people
and communing plants
and healthy commingling planet
more polypathically ego/ecotherapeutic
seems more effectively persuasive
toward historically therapeutic economic-political case studies
and multiculturing communion designs for communal integrity
through deep LeftMind with RightBody co-dominant bicameral listening
and beauty glistening

Acting widely in-between

1. Resilient Western competing co-investors 
in healthy cooperative ownership 
and management 
and governing
and inclusive democratic authority
and co-responsibility for rights to speak and rites to listen or not
and non-sectarian integrity of thought 
with co-passionate feeling models, and

2. Resonant Eastern extended family cooperative communion 
poly-theological timeless models
intending eco-faith in multi-health communities 
diversely composed of trans-regenerational co-arising residents
spiritually within as naturally without
sacredly peaceful below as non-violent above.

TippingPoints in-between LeftLiberal Love
and RightConserving Economically Balanced Life
wu-wei 
RightWing merely secular capital-producing incorporations
for a strong ego-defense
and LeftWing sacred incarnations
for liberating universal health-languaged EarthPassion

Leaking out of both liberal/conserving dipolar ends
recreating robust multicultural rainbows
of co-arising message maps
for wellness lights

Between ZeroZone prime co-relational territories
of Yang-strength,
atomically reductive chemistry tables,

with Yin's ergodic highway flow,

seasons with nutritional reasons

Restoring recreatively persuasive health trends
for positive ecological relationships
cooperatively away from absence

Decorating

“But what is real? If you mean those impulses and signals sent by your senses 
and which are then interpreted by your brain. Then the real can be anything 
your mind desires.” 

Morphius. 
The Matrix.
 
When a child opens its eyes
Awareness blossoming 
New upon the day
Does it then envision 
A clean blank page
To be coloured 
To be decorated as it desires
Should all those hues and images
Then be given a name

Yet 

What would be 
If the child could see
Things that were not the same
 
In each and every second
These myriad patterns of light 
React
To thoughts born from learning
Labelled with a voice which says “this” is 
This 
And “that” is 
That
 
Yet a blank page emerges 
Each and every single day
But written and coloured 
By acceptance 
In the same new way
But 
What if for a moment 
You dream
And decorate your world 
Differently
 
What then would the eyes of the liberated 
See
Would they see the world 
As is
Or see repainted coherency
Or would there be
A moment of birth 
Where awareness 
Sees through 
And beyond reality
And sees with the eyes 
of a newly born 
Child
 
A daily place of spirit 
Life and light
A spoken place 
Where all form 
Takes on the form 
Of the heavenly blank page 
Of light 
Where on 
Is written 
All possibility
And your mind 
Decorating 
The universe infinitely
 
Or will mere whim transform 
To what it might be
The photons and the fabric of stars
Could we then hold creations dust 
In our palms
And with a breath of splendour 
Puff beauty into being
 
Should thought 
Become a brush stroke then
Would we sweep and stride 
With such a capable hand
The essence of magnificence 
A new world
To greet 
Our waking eyes
  
Or is this 
What we have come to see
The ballet of light as it settles 
Within us 
Daily
Some other wonder
Some other hand 
Which says
See what I have wrought for you 
From the physical tongues of 
Eternity
 
But I know you 
People of Earth
And I know the multitude of your dreams
And how 
Given the power of your imaginings
You could decorate so diversely 
All these things 
Which seem now so 
Ordinary
 
Is it but a moment
A second 
Of perception
Or a reaction
Predetermined by acceptances 
Indoctrination

What where those things 
We began to see
When as a new born child 
Our eyes first 

Opened

Premium Member Choice and Chance- a Constanza

We are created to create.
A shared foundation is instilled,
Diversely skilled, we join and build.

Equipped with tools to navigate.
Faith guides but will not implement,
Make use of this free will we're sent.

We have a say in our own fate.
Walk on and earn what you can't give,
Be worthy of this life and live.

Each day’s a gift, participate.
Potential lies in each mistake,
Find purpose in the risks you take.

Blessings pass by an idle wait.
So search for chances to assist,
Or time will waste on what's been missed.

Premium Member Integrity Embraces Diversity

System integrity can grow more deeply resonant
only as diversity grows more widely interdependent.

Diversely rich integrity
longs to universally emerge
unitarian yin-inclusive
and not uniformly yang-dominant,
exclusive
privileged
supremely kleptocratic.

An economic and ecological reason
Win/Lose capital wealth-accumulation values
trend toward historically WesternWhite male racist privileged mono-structures
is because we do not, instead,
cooperatively co-invest time
and energy
and capital
in diversely interdependent integrity;
reconnecting universal yang wealth values
with unitarian interdependent health-norms.

So, anti-racist multicultural ecosystems
are those fully invested
in pro-active historical culture-deepening
and diversely widening 
integrity
rather than defensive monocultural rabidity.

Racial justice seeks creolizing metamorphosis,
and not colonizing unilateral supremacy,
as does environmental justice.

Both are health-trending
when cooperatively restoring therapeutic EarthJustice
with pulling together Win/Win integrity,
and not Win/Lose pushed apart disintegration 
of bio-
and ego-
and eco-
and geo-systemic diversity.

Premium Member Trees of Our Forest

Trees in a mindbody forest
work together in hidden ways
and through this cooperation
increase their shared resistance to disease.

In this way,
densely polycultural forest systems
with mature synergetic resistance
co-evolve even more robust
and mutually resonant;
not might makes right
but more like right relationships merge 
cooperative flowing sight.

This fertile co-intelligence 
is an integral face
of diversely held resistance
to monocultural degeneration.

A glass half empty of mistrust
also half full of trusted relationships
emerging democratic health.

We used to have a bicameral legislature
that worked together in personal and public ways
but now votes more for less win/win cooperation
thereby winner v loser reducing our resistance
to mutually terrorizing environmental pathologies,
averting co-passionate choices
informed by climate resonance.

Dumb as a decaying post,
our anthropocentric swamp
behaves less co-intelligently 
than a tree.

Premium Member One Home, Many Flags

We are one people,
with one home,
and one flag."
D. J. Trump

Hmmm.
I was with him
right up to the last word,
where I so hoped,
without any realistic expectation,
he would say one "climate"

Waving many diversely colored
polyphonic and polycultural flags
on behalf of health for all species
and against pathology for any ecosystem.

Democrats support WinWin politics
for all polypathic flags
of Earth enhabiting cultures,
where nationalistic elitists,
Plutocrats and entitled patriarchs,
are blinded by their own short-sighted ego-centric flag waving
for secularized wealth,
dualistically devoid of double-boundaried sacred health.

National flags rise and fall,
and still Mother Earth expects an answer
to which one climate we would have become
the fairest of and for us all.

Hunger

Growing, manifesting, enlarging as the minutes pass. Teeth mashing together, grinding back and forth, licking its lips voraciously, eyes keening in for a meal, done letting time circle around, done chasing it down like a dog chases its tail.
It's ready.
Done playing around, done waiting for you to make your move, play your pawn, finish your turn. It's a monster, it's a goon, grumbling and roaring like a diversely maned lion, looting your short-term memories, leaving behind a cloudiness, leaving you dazed and clueless, for it drains you of your energy, of your buoyant and sunny mood.
It's ready.
Mouth open, hair tingling, feet dancing, jiving in a blithesome-hearted manner, for it sees the path to take, the move to make, the way to end this useless skirmish, this wasteful battle. It grabs away, acquisitively purloining your appetite, while growing minuscule as you plunge into your food and munch away, at an indefatigable pace. 
Now It's done.
But it will come back, emerge from the shadows and grow like a weed, fast and furiously regaining its hold, its control over you, for like a charm, it will trance you, cause your eyes to gaze away, stunned, and arms lay out, like a zombie.
And it will rise.
Rise like an eagle, soaring above your hopes and desires, making itself first on your to-do list. Gliding you away, far from your soul, from your percipient choices and inquisitive moves. And it will keep itself tucked away, like a python in the open ground, but it still constrains you, dampers your evocatively brushed eyes, your unfeigned beam, and your superficially inextinguishable body language.

Premium Member Prevailing Winds

No healthy humane man
of mature integrity
is a disenchanted island.

No individual is entirely orphaned.
Even an island has an associated understory,
below water's surfing surface
lie deeply rooted
anciently fertile connections.

And above water's surface
birds migrate outdoor voices
and digestive tracts
and trends
visit,
co-invest regenerativity
of ocean tides
and wind storms.

Those who celebrate only their autonomous island-ness,
are those who do not actively include
how we already live as multicultural peninsulas
leading back to mainland ancient healthy multicultures
and leading forward
to where we can once again
applaud diversely landscaped roots
fertile soil and soul migrations
visitors of nutritiously remembering curiosity
co-invested leaders in courageous fertile multi-solidarity
on this one planet island

Earth revolving within an interdependent sanctuary orbit
of synergetic understory,
Milky Way of warm wet soiled and souled 
enchanting 
surfing maternal womb memories
of ocean tides
as wind storms.

Premium Member Polyvagal Wonder Wandering

I often am reminded
we are far more alike than different,
we all enter and exit through co-arising windows
of wombed opportunity 
and wounded risk.

Yet, I wonder,
as I converse with bicamerally horizontal trees
and bipartisan 
heart-trunk 
refueling bushes

Each breathing in productive fuel
and breathing out consumer satisfaction,
or not so much
each regenerating and decomposing season

How far more winter dormant alike 
our summer summoned season reasons
than neuro-diversely different
are RNA's DNA younger crowning branches
of sacred Earth's polypathic 
root systemic treasons

LoveLife framed
resiliently entering and exiting 
through co-arising windows
of wombed win/win 
cooperative opportunity 
springtime roots
and wounded win/lose 
competitively risky 
autumnal leaving crowns.
