Best Gestalts Poems
Signs of LifeA life that happened when we were not looking
Captured arriving as a digital image
A string of thoughts riding a bicycle
Pictured free-wheeling through a sunny day
Yet beneath the skin of a later vision
Rain tumbling from dark clouds
Caught even then
By a lens that was seeing for...

All that is, including me.

All that is, excepting me."
Buckminster Fuller

All integrity that is, including me.
Revolving Environment in turn must be
All that co-arises healthy restorations,

Out For a SpinI take a four-fold spin
through Bill Plotkin's wheel
of bilateral identities,
iconic developmental faces,
ironic personalities.
FIRST comes Eastern-born
dawn of human infancy,
Innocent Sage infants
so WiseElder
in our LeftBrain emergent
wrinkling unfolding
sacred RightBrain ways.
Searching for care giving eyes
to be sure we do
and do not know
what we are nutritionally together,
sometimes toxically apart,
too...

Singing and Dancing In BalanceWhat I care about
and what I am working
and even playing hard with
is better understanding what and how
we and Earth
communicate to and with each other,
regenerating mindbody health sometimes,
and yet degenerating pathological climates and subclimates,
gestalts,
ecopolitical chemistry puzzles and games,
systemic syndromes articulating wu wei
Tipping Points of MultiCultural ReGenerate...

Climate Health HistorySometimes, as individuals
and as a learning species,
we jump too quickly,
eagerly,
enthusiastically on empathic trust feelings of familiarity,
forgetting these may include both health with pathological tensions
residing within this intuitive moment,
this feeling of happiness toward potential true and good futures
yet I really do prefer to squeeze the toothpaste...

Snakes and HummingbirdsTo love, agapic and/or erotic,
is a positive economic-political relational choice
to trust whomever
and whatever is our Other right now
with open caring empathy,
even when we may feel like withdrawing
into suffering,
self-isolating
depressive,
repressed concerns of mistrust and dissonance,
because we have faith
that not only is this choice to integratively love,
to...

Optimal WinsWhat words do we choose for maximizing our ultimate accomplishments,
achieving our healthiest goals,
measuring our 100% successful therapeutic outcome projections?
Why do these words,
and our feelings about these choices
wave in and out of optimal happiness and prosperity,
even when quantitative measures suggest our historical maximums...

Tao of Healthy WealthOn what metaphysical, natural yet spiritual, principle
might agree
an ecologist,
a Christian fundamentalist,
and an Islamic terrorist?
Earth's enculturing history has been, economically and politically speaking,
more nutritiously regenerative
than pathologically degenerative,
or we could not have become recreative regenetic bicameral identities,

Naked FlamencoA Polite Warning. The Following poem is somewhat steamy. Not explicit, but explicit in
inference. If this sort of thing offends you, then please be considerate and don’t read
it. Thank you.

Naturally Inspiraling Golden RuleTalk to yourself.
Think and thank about yourselves,
how you have changed into different interests/disinterests over years and decades.
Think about yourselves
at least as generously
as you might best listen and smell and taste,
both digest and nourish,
your own worst Alien Enemy.
What is it that you can see
that you cannot...

Raising Endogenous MorphineEndorphin power is about positive politics;
it votes with little fading feet running away from negative politics
and WinLose competing economies of victimization,
marginalization.
Stress, dissonance, competitive over-indulgence are toxic
including to the abundant production of endorphin,
which, like its endo-morphine namesake,
creates a peaceful co-empathic trust feeling
that it's safe to believe...

Sinister ShadowsYin speaks,
murmurs really
Slurpy GoldenShadow
whispering warmly
wetly
hypnotically
fascinatingly
in my left ear.
Notice:
In 2011-12
Bill Plotkin wrote
"Sinister Shadow, projected:
Donald, president of the United States,
refers to the Soviet Union
as 'the Evil Empire'...
and actually believes this is true."
True of all 2019 federations,

Cooperative CommunicationWhen we communicate aggressively,
cynically narcissistic
about Earth's WinWin historical healthy wealth, ongoing
slow-grown into our great grandchildren's regenerative future,
We abandon globally universal passions
for mutual care-giving and receiving
ego and eco-therapeutic cooperative missions,
We do not intend for the ego-messenger
to be ignored,
emotion un-intelligently shot down
along with our LeftBrain too...

Cosmic UnknownThe great unknown within its flow
has vast galactic heights aglow
with heavens’ past in astral vaults
in schemes of intricate gestalts
that strain the brain to vertigo.
Yet on the dreamers here below
the stars their stellar airs bestow,
as music of the spheres exalts
the great unknown.
Still cosmic questers seek to...

ShutteringA lot of it happened when not looking,
they are captured as photo-images
still arriving
undeveloped.
Beneath the skin of a retro-vison
dark scenes of rain
slicing through confused clouds
forever caught as an opaque film
over half-closed eyes.
There are visible gestalts –
shadow dances of passing daydreams.
A mélange of cursory detachments
once mistaken for...
