Because I Live“Not enjoyment, and not sorrow;
Is our destined end or way;
But to act, that each to-morrow
Find us farther than today.”
A Psalm of Life, by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Because I live, I am me, avid voice among the free,
Flexing freedom, defining contours...

ResetI found my reset button
If I only knew I had it at all
One moment, one instant
My identity I am all for
Resetting back to comforts levelling
The so hard to deal with things becomes easy
That once adrenaline for trembling
Becomes ever so desirable to once more see
How did...

Moving Forward Into Expansion....Ignorance....
How is it...gifted with
abilities to reason
we can all remain so unaware...
How is it...gifted with
mental ability of logic
yet,what do we really know....
Even with our limited sense
of language and words to communicate
how do you describe in uncertain terms
the unknown...yet,not completely unknown
If your regular 5 senses move beyond...

MazesThe sun closes in on itself imploding.
Storm clouds clots like cream.
The sky tinged a rancid yellow of dream
raises tornadoes like totems scolding.
A wet haze weeps through the pine trees
furthering the sky’s somber malaise.
Life, a missing actor on the stage,
the rare and ripest red of blood,...

Unifying Theories of ChemistryUnifying Theories of Chemistry
Plants react in synthesis
Stimulations sunlight
Breathing the winds causes
Through fluid chains
Reproducing flowering responses
And systematically chemistries
Drive in attractions of curiosity
Stranger love crushes
To your ignition sexual A-symmetry
Produces adrenaline's certain heat
And senses blood pounding
So photosynthetic initiates
The A.T.P. of chemical currency
Splits living links furthering
More simple to...

Fundamentals RedefinedFundamentalists compete with and through struggling evolution

dipolar appositionally rooted
of and for regenerative naturehealth = spiritwealth,
that would err on the side of removing the "natural" lens from Paradise,

But SeriouslySeriously?
You drive a Benz with chrome plated wheels,
then from the government you continue to steal,
I wonder if you’ll ever really know how it feels,
to be so hungry and not get approved for food assistance-
Seriously? Luxury living with no room for intolerable resistance.
Seriously?
You beg for forgiveness...

My Goal Is SafetyThe generic-brand black and white bumper sticker
on the commercial passenger van announces
MY GOAL IS SAFETY.
I immediately know this cannot be the van driver’s intent,
much less praxis,
so boldly bald-tire displayed,
MY SOLE GOAL FOR BEING HERE IS MY SAFETY.
My sole purpose,
soul’s meaning
is defense against possibility of...

Caregiving Stories ContinuedWounded Sacred Dementia
My last foster care-provider
and -receiver story
is also a sad story
of my last special needs adoption
of bipolar born,
and oppositionally reared,
alcoholism.
My BiPolar Wounded Child
turned an auspicious five
on the day I first saw her,
and promptly rejected her,
not in dipolar person,
but in a picture of Little Brown...

A Girl Was Raped In a Bus That NightA girl was raped in a bus that night
By six men, all drunk, who had lost their minds
Ambrosia was the elixir of gods, it is said
But godlike men in this age aren’t born or made
Alcohol wrecks judgment, makes beasts out of men
Deeds under...

Mom's UnderGround PeaceTrainA transitional skill
my Mom taught me,
good to use when I start to feel at-risk,
somehow

whether in my relationship with her,
or with EarthDays more kosmic travels
through naturally wild
and domestic spirits.
Remember to ask permission
before you are sure of how they will answer
especially when you...

To Grow PeaceTo faith communities
and fraternities,
brotherhoods
and sisterhoods
and sororities,
local non-profits

cooperative associations,
trauma-informed learning theorists

mind/body peace,
Do not deceive yourselves.
Continuing to gaze and daze
on a monotonous monocultural path
Disassociating

Is not inter-religiously wealthy

In This Taoist's ViewCould we be doing our best
to invest in Earth's cooperative health markets?
While you sell our most competitive killing machines
to our Saudi Arabian cousins.
Referencing this touchstone as an ecopolitical WinWin,
unlike Parisian multicultural investments in climate health,
as LoseLose,
remains upside down of any truly love-life frame.
Ballistic sales and...

We Incarnate What We DigestEugenics is about monoculturing supremacist delusions

it helps to keep in mind:
