Best Pathic Poems
Games We PlayYang, dear.
Yes, my lovely Yin.
Why do you map Game Theory
onto EcoFeminist Political Theory?
It comes across as either just confusing
or, even worse,
vaguely sexist.
Really!
How sexist?
Well you seem to associate competitive ZeroSum WinLose
with strong aggressive patriarchal effectiveness
for defending and conserving health and safety.
These are rational strategic choices for...

Following Earth's LightBorrowing from David Holmgren, Permaculture Principles and Pathways Beyond [Win-Elite v Lose-NonElite] Sustainability, 2002, p. 1
Health ethics are Beloved Community normative principles
used to guide action toward good and light and right outcomes
and away from degeneratively bad and wrong outcomes,
darkly ego-pathic and monoculturing
rather than polypathically polyculturing.
Regenerative...

Permacultural TrustThe organic building of a coordinated artist
begins with reconstructing competitively clumsy LeftBrain technicians.
Whether learning to play the piano
or learning to communicate in some new language
or learning to adopt,
and/or adapt,
norms and nuances of some new cultural environment,
human nature starts, and started, with RightBrain
as inductive unconscious autonomic...

3Waiting waitng......
For the all-mighty godot
godot godot.....I ask myself
Where are you?
I have searched the
tempestuous seas
I have toiled the arid desert
All to no avail
I have defiled timidity into the
treshold of darkness
Searching searching.....
Without the sight of you......

Ecology of Education 2017Further post-millennial dialogue with Abraham Heschel:
"The problem of our youth is not youth.
The problem is the [learning] spirit of our age:
denial of transcendence [in our homes and schools],
the vapidity of [learning] values,
[competing] emptiness in the [economic] heart,
the decreased sensitivity to the imponderable [natural-ecological] quality

Becoming PolypathicTo become polypathic should feel regenerative, good, positive,
maybe even beautiful, graced,
like we are inviting only the positive karmic stuff of Earth
and humanity.
Pathology, on the other hand, is degenerative,
negative antipathy,
it is reductive.
While health, fed by consistently good sensory-neural nutrition,
is regenerative,
positive empathic trust;
it is inductive--
which is double-bind...

Entertaining ConsciousnessConflict,

with wet therapeutic opportunity,

emergent revolutions

We deeply listen with each outside curious voice,
resonantly organizing
each reweaving WinWin cooperative Both/And Other.
Tree root matriarchal systems
Tipping their sacred Points

rather than multicultural WinWin integrity outcomes

Rear View MirrorWhy does a powerful moment of passion,
of inspiration
often feel like need for immediate ego-expiration,
harvesting over-filled compassion?
Why a need to breathe in
followed by back out exhalation
to share, virally spread
a tool for relationship-building
through impassioned out-pathic communication?
Why does a moment of life lived fully,
ecologically co-relational,
often feel accompanied by...

Sometimes Love DiesI fell in love once and
ended up flat on my face

from that brutal blow
I didn't know which hurt

it into...

Cooperative BeingsRaison d'etre,
RightBrain's voiceless shadowed FutureSearch
begets healthy past nutrition research,
both secular-natural Left centered
and sacred-spiritual Right symmetric,
cooperating Earth Patriarch/Matriarch Balance.
Restoring Food Justice,
reborn of Green polycultural ecosystemic fuel balance,
discovers appositions,
although not necessarily recovering oppositions,
uncovers mistrust without total LoseNature/LoseSpirit hopelessness--
anti-trust
anti-love punishing Totalitarian LoseLose
nihilistic guilty and terrifying Nutrition Injustice,
fuel-sucking...

Talk of the TownLuther Vandross recorded a song
that says something like
"We had the best love around...
We were the talk of the town."
I can't think of the last time
a greatly famous and resilient love affair
was the talk of even TinselTown;
and certainly not New York,...
maybe Paris?
Hong Kong?
Too Western commercialized, I...

Faith In EconomicsFaith in politics is not popular.
Other than optimistic civics teachers
and elected office holders,
faith feels troublesome
when mixed with social empowerment
over Others.
"Others" holds and hides broad diversity:
children
women
people of color
prisoners
slaves
indentured servants
pets
cattle
sheep
farms
plantations
ranches
watersheds
melting ice caps
rising sea levels
polluted air
worn out topsoil
sewage disposal and highway and military systems
industrial production and consumption and...

Inexhaustible CompassionSolitude
not impatiently exhausted
remains open to nonviolent solidarity
through multiculturing Earth communication,
within reflective self

in active dialogue with nature

As yang-strong
solid regenerative nature
engages and co-invests in more
and better compassionate humane

As objective secular outcomes
