Best Reductive Poems
Aquarian AgeDid our Age of Aquarius evaporate,
fail to regenerate,
to resonate,
fall too far short of what our parents
knew we should anticipate?
Free love could not sustain
weak non-violent resolutions against
whatever busyness was for.
Yet, if love invites synergy,
mutual gravity,
and creation evokes compassion's transregeneration,
how could love cost more than free?
How could...

Yangtruth With YintegralbeautiesBeauty, like Truth,
speaks eternal promise
of timeless decomposition.
Flexing Grace
effects empathic Truth
optimizing promise prophets past
reiterating Golden Mythic Creation Stories.
Many have mentioned strength of compassion
and tenacious flexibility of mutual mindfulness
as Two Horses to effective political-economic
natural-spiritual sufficiency.
Most dominant Yang encultured poli-economic operators
require less YangTruth voice
and more cooperative listening Yintegrity,

Positive Political ProblemsMy fundraising problem with positive psychology,
said the good health doctor,
it is too social science squishy,
not leftbrain dominant enough,
Suspiciously ecofeminist
for natural science pathologists
Straight-White privileged proctologists
urologists
bicamerally challenged cardiologists.
I must concede
not ecopolitically erect enough
correct indeed

trauma systems empathist,
But, sometimes premature win/win
complex opportunity theory
looks like yet...

FireGod Speaks OutAngry FireGod sneers sarcasm,
"Not warm enough yet?"
"Still too much clean water and air
and other healthy stuff,
like sun-baked red chili peppers?"
Excuse me,
I was under the impression
that I invited you for my interview,
which would involve me asking you questions,
and not so much of that anger and fear...

Let Us Speak ClearlyLet me speak clearly with you
dear religious and atheist Trumpians,
A fool in executive office
is a leader
only in foolish directions.
A rich thief
is the worst thief
as survival motives
are absent,
so self-thrival motives
remain pick your pocket rampant.
An intellectual prostitute
to feel-good AmericaFirst politics
is a populist whore,
competing for economic gain
after self-deluding...

Perfect Love, Optimal LifePerfect love is perfection,
it is rare,
if such love exists at all
it must thrive beyond boundaries of my own experience
either receiving,
or giving.
Could this perfection of synergetic harmony and confluence
we have grown to love as love itself
become discovered in and through another
by anyone other than a person,
a...

Burning LogsEach flame
elegantly weaves in waves
flowing up from resources red cinder hot,
similar in warm color
temperature decrees
of beauty as integrity's truth
trust each surrounding flame.
Each flame
unique in point of origin below
as ubiquitously flickering fading destinations above.
Yet each flame
the same
as kindred spirits
rising from sources restoring therapeutic difference
to...

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...

In My Bicameral HomeIn my universal-Left and unitarian-Right bicameral home
"crazy" has two functions,
ballistic weapon Left
aimed Right at Other,
ballast Right
anchoring EgoSelf within EcoOther.
"Crazy"
when that begins with "you are"
marginalizes
dispossesses nutritional powers of compassion
with dire political and economic consequences
of extensive fear and anger,
even hatred for this Word itself.
"Crazy" ballast
begins with "I...

Earth RoundThere once was a man with Trumpian crown
so heavy it caused him to frown
when he gave it away
some folks say to this day
it grew lighter while revolving
more democratically healthy around.
There once were most men with dementia
heavy, like homophobic hornetia,
but when they tried a co-operative...

Summer Reforesting SchoolYinYin,
what did you most appreciate
learning at school this summer?
Probably in Community ReForesting.
You know, the EcoTherapy Class
I took
instead of eating lunch,
using "lunch" loosely
as synonymous with edible,
or at least tangentially related to edibility.
Oh yes, that one.
What stands out for you most
in your Community ReForesting Cooperative Administration Class?
I'm...

When We Need CompanionshipInsufficient knowledge for fully comprehensive consciousness
is also
more than sufficient ignorance
of our individual and collective participation
in comprehensive disease, despair, degeneration, decay,
anger and fearful partisanship,
climatic cultural change
in both Interior and Exterior Landscapes.
So which do we continue to commit to?
Insufficiency of deductive, reductive, Win-Lose knowledge?
Or inductive gathering and...

Fundamentals RedefinedFundamentalists compete with and through struggling evolution

Fundamentalism:
A patriarchal-historical view

that would err on the side of removing the "natural" lens from Paradise,

Professor Glory's Active HopeThe title of this talk today,
"Win-Win Politics of New Feminist Economics"
suggests questions,
more than emasculating
definitively deductive
reductive
answers.
Would you imagine
a minority-identified Buddhist,
more likely as a feminist?
or culturally comfortable
with political and economic Left-brain domination,
monotheistic competing for all-consuming
ritualistic servicing?
How would you compare broad cultural trends
between East and West theology
