Best Mediation Poems

Lake wind
slakes still water's 
need for flight-- 
its envy of sea waves
devouring web-prints 
of seagulls, a 
temporary tableau
giving it wings 
where there
are none...

Mediation

I wish to capture in some way
With words, the ineffable
Images, and sounds of quiet,
In a time without man sounds.

Early morning awakened by
The first glimmer of orange red
As it begins to rise phoenix like
Across the lake.

Incongruous images blended together,
deck railing covered with
beach towels, swim suits, life...

In mediation of my own identity, do you see an involuntary army of one?
Failed my fellowship, a downpour I need myself the most; affectionate landslides run
'Cause if rain erosion is all that matters, destruction at most may not have begun;
Incomplete confidence; me asking for anything...

I often sit and wonder as time goes by.
I think of how I have lived and how I will die.
Will I be remembered by my children as I grow old?
Did I help to create some magical words of gold?
Does beautification reflect one’s soul?
Did I appreciate...

A multi-religious mediator's mission
might include supporting InterFaith Green Communion

And might organize community-based
EmPowerment and Enlightenment Missions
to cooperatively organize
polyculturally resonant 
Voices

To enact and advocate,
to gospel sing and liturgically dance
to empower Eastern metaphysical contextualists
and enlighten Western physical embodied sexualists,
to left brain say
and right brain gracefully do

More resilient ecological
co-relationally...

Braille sand on my skin
Blind tide written, to be read

I asked our local Unitarian-Universalist minister
if she could see God
as Original Creative Source of Earth (OCSE).

Eventually,
after a rather long pause,
peaceful, not anxiety producing,
she said Yes.

I asked the Shiloh Baptist Bishop
if he could know God
as Abba,
as did Jesus of Nazareth.

He thought about this,
a rather odd yet...

I am sorry
about my judgmental,
sadly disdainful,
tone
in earlier messages.

Even worse,
I remain embarrassed
for spreading it out
for key staff
and leaders
to well-positioned see
and hear
and feel,
touched by wounded toxicity.

My training 
and experience
includes victimized by homophobia
and healing through community mediation.

Within this mindful context,
I have tried to understand
what you want to healthy...

Thanks so much for forwarding
these John Paul Lederach stories
of un-learning academic approaches
to peace mediation.

I wonder if you remembered
my ongoing certification process
for justice-restoring mediation
in complex multicultural conflicting histories;
which are typically antithetical to resilient peace
through ongoing safe and healthy relationships.

With this background,
I was struck by "un-learning".

To regain...

A problem with breath-focused sitting
eyes hooded
closed down sensory receptor meditation,
in my peak omnipotent mindful experience

This inside passive form of seeking resilience
presumes we consistently care
about furthering our
health care vocations,
organically sacred to some,
merely biological to more chronically traumatized
emotionally challenged
by histories 
of neglect
and/or multigenerational mysteries
of emotional/verbal
physical/nonverbal abuse
disregard
bullying

The opposite...

My healthiest ego-loving master plan

"The simplicity
of total trust
is one of the most powerful forces
in the world."
Sogyal Rinpoche

The Rinpoche's faith 
in radically democratic trust,
feels too wildly green-inclusive madness
to address the therapeutic mediator's,
and/or non-violent communication mentor's,
and/or EarthCentered restorative justice student's 
non-elite, grassroots-biased dilemma:

"Oops, this unrepentant predator,
too patriarchally 
and capitalistically ego-centered, 
is...

I agree with sacred teachers
who advocate I best not feel resonantly privileged
while meditating
to take part in something special
like sacred mysteries
of sabbath revolutions.

And yet,
I only half agree.

This secularizing paradigm
would promote democratic accessibility
and convenient evolution of educational systems,
transport and marketing of organic integrity
and win/win compassionate systems
to left-brain...

Music practice,
when I was a wounded child,
felt too redundantly mundane,
yet never merely quite ordinary,
especially within a band
or chorus learning environment

For restoring spiritual
mental
natural health,
compassionately co-invested.

Later,
as an adult wounded child,
I repeated this same
redundantly mundane
Business As Not Quite Usual
multicultural community mediation practice
reassuring ritual

Especially within a sacred 
indigenous
nonviolent nature/spirit...
