He plays the chords with his blue depression
          still searching for true loves heart expression
Though there is praise for this worlds celebrity
          true satisfaction from there will...

Foundation Bricks of thoughts. 
History contained in bible.
Sedentary.
 Time in ancient misery.
 Mind shoots with guns. 
Blood spread in land of African tales. 
War one, War two until here in thoughts battle. 
Now what is next?  
Politics, scientists, theorist light in education where we...

What are fair and effective nudges
for too much freedom of wounding weaponed speech?

Maybe equal freedom to listen nutritionally
and not speak toxically?

What's a fair response
to competitive over-investment in fear-mongering--
Threats to hold your breath 'til everyone sees uniformly red?

What's fair, right and left,
for government freedom to WinUs

You have to be able to remember
what life feels like
with wealth of health

To believe that Creation is healthy

feels courageous,
baldly 
boldly stated.

To feel that Creators are not unhealthy
feels like a curiously in-between way
of unboldly thinking 
in dipolar double-binding apposition,

Seeing is not not hearing,
believing is not not...

I love this
   the bitterness
              that builds
tearing the cords
   to my heart
refreezing it
           in carbonite
solidifying my soul
where it...

This is an age old story
it could be a country song.
Some may find it enchanting
while others say it’s wrong.

I like home automation
and the feeling of control
the response to simple voice
commands seems to satisfy my soul.

I got into it slowly
but it soon got out of hand
when...

Cycling in the summertime is swell
The feel of the cool wind in your face
Riding through a level flowering dell,
Exhilaration finally winning the race.

The feel of the cool wind in your face
Sweet scents of blossoms inhaling,
Exhilaration finally winning the race
With tired and sore muscles entailing.

Sweet scents...

New River waters skimming jagged rocks
Drenched rafters paddle madly
Are we having fun yet?

Yesterday the sun rose slowly
Over the lake glimmering glistening, quietly,
The calm wind took a wink at the blue jay softly
Flying over the fragrant pine trees and allowed the sun to
Burn in the summer morning, whispering, recreation sport, let’s play today.

The clicking of the gentle waves...

We used to go swimming with our parents and children at the Fitness Institute,
The facilities were enhanced, we had showers and a make-up room.

There was a swimming pool and a tennis court, 
After  your swim, you could sun yourself on the deck.

We were all...

I caught my dream in mid air;

First Regenerations
merge into Earth's ecolove
our individuating way

Tips pointed toward ego/eco-faith co-acclimating communities,
bilaterally balancing Either/Or left-brain dominance
monoculturing competitive economics

And Both/And right-brain polyculturing prominence
enlightening cooperative internally bicameral politics

Giving rise to Second Generations
of bipolar RightHand
and dipolar LeftHand
ego/eco-faith in healthy
trusted
resonant
non-violent communications

Inviting Third ReGenerative communities
of ego active hope
for individual salvation
within...

Reaching for the Couch,
Laying for a snooze.
As fast as a wink,
The alarm clock buzzed,
Jerking my entranced body alive.

On the floor were documents, files, Stapler. 
My table wore a different look.
Like one of which, a maniac dwells.
The laptop wasn't in view.
Drawers were all open.

The money! Mr....

The trees lining the streets are filled with cherry blossoms
Mother Nature is letting us know that spring arrival is going to be awesome
Enjoying a walk along the breakwater bustling with people enjoying the new day's sun
After a long winter, it is wonderful to be able...
