Red and Blue Estrangered FamiliesDear Siblings Three,
I was reading a story
in which some siblings became estranged
after their parents died,
while others moved toward greater solidarity.
This is a variation on a diaspora story.
But, here growing physical distance
is seen more as a geographic effect
than a political cause
of growing estrangement on one side,
and...

People of FaithIt's hard to say where and when our town's People of Faith Cooperative started.
After all,
we have all emerged together,
and are still emerging
people of TaoGod,
right?
Our faith includes defining our still humanizing species
as among those not capable of autonomously regenerating ourselves
into our divine health functions,
or even our...

Ending In a Deadly Minor KeySo here's my question for this dawning day,
like a WinWin ruminating message in a bottle
floating through a LoseLose climate sea
felt still foggy from last night,
some mysterious how now;
One of many
health related strategic WinLose issues
tuning out organic WinWin as also opportunities
for cooperative green optimist/red blooded...

Cooperative StartsWho wants to join a sacred cooperative
with both divine and humane purpose,
secular meanings
with organic liturgical rites
of seasonal passage?
Indeed,
who would not
should ego's veil descend
like commodified energy's nonrenewable extinction;
LoseLose trends of nihilism
within psyche,
fascism
within a paranoid society
which would reduce land and waters
of patriotic sacred space
to mere commodities
for...

Speaking With Donald JohnI was speaking with my good friend
Donald John
the Evangelist for AntiChrist
the other day.
And I had to ask,
Donald John,
Why are you so against health care
for all our not yet slaughtered
and otherwise dead already?
Except perhaps health services
exclusively for those able to buy a hospital
for themselves
and their...

Dearest DonaldDear Donald,
I heard it said
it is your position
that reducing carbon emissions
and other climate therapeutic investments
are not a healthy US priority.
I also heard
it is your position
that the federal Environmental Protection Agency
is redundant,
and therefore also not a climate pathology therapeutic resource
on your national priority list.
I also...

Norwick's Head PoobahI was interviewing the Head Poobah
of our Norwick Public Utility CoOperative
and asked him
Where did the 22 percent goal come from
for acquiring renewable energy?
As compared to 78 percent from nonrenewable
and guaranteed increasingly costly electricity sources
like burned-out oil and gas and coal,
with their concomitant stinky smokestacks.
"As I...

Conservative Love LiberatorsClimate change,
like most,
if not all,
unwelcome change,
too often violent and deranged
and hopelessly redundant,
remains conservatively controversial
as to who started It.
Yet this issue of inheritance
fades into insignificance
when confronted by our tsunamic evidence
of who is secularly
and sacredly
responsible for healing this mortal wound,
to end It.
Whether this wound
results from a sin...

Experiencing Emerging Adulthood Stage While Inching Toward Being An Old GeezerMe, an aging baby boomer
long haired pencil necked geek
burning, depleting, using... fossil fuels,
thus a global nonrenewable resource(s)
repentant consumer
admitting heavily trod carbon footprint
additionally deeply enmired
within very late adolescence,
hence I shriek
with utter dismay
starkly aware personal hygiene
suffers direct hit
grungy kamikaze pilot
courtesy this groomer
cause I shower once
every fifty second...

TurnaboutGeorgie Porgie was a little overweight, since he loved tasty desserts,
Like puddings and baked pies; or green woods, full of robin concerts.
Georgie was ten years of age, possessing an impish sense of humor;
And played tricks on his classmates, involving frogs, it was rumored.
This sometimes left...
