Best Regathering Poems

Taoist Principle of Reversion
grows metasystemic decomposition
degeneration
reverse creation
organic time and memory moving backward toward rebirth
of a Paradise Pleasing Planet.

Reversion anticipates the Yin-reverse action 
of indigenously wise integrity.
Decompressing reimagination of effective/causal Time 
within organizing space and sacred story place.
Gentle integrity 
is the flow-function of Tao.
Compassionate contentment 
is...

You've heard that self-unfulfilling prophecy?
"I love humanity--
it's just people I can't stand."

I love healthy humanity--
it's just uppity and/or snooty people I can't stand

I love cooperative humanity--
it's just overly-competitive individuals I can't stand.

Not so distant from,
I love U.S. society
and nationalistic 
patriarchal monotheism,
absence of healing and empowering...

WINTER

We all have heard The Greatest Creation Story Ever Told,
and it is
as title so boldly baldy states.

Yet, within and without,
before yet also after,
this History of Earth's CoRedemption
deepy lies
highest and healthiest Her EarthStory
born of SunDaddy,

When passion plants a multicultural seed,
then justice flourishes a polypathic trusting flower.

Permaculture and polyculture, 
grow holistic cause-effect karmic significance 
for our physical, and mental, political and spiritual health.

Permacultural, as I intend it this morning,
refers to Yang’s power for nutritional resonance of natural systems; 
health-power 
that...

We are fire.
We fire.
We consume and produce warm memories,
and colder dissonance.
Where were we before first flicker of flame?
What were we before our warm time?

After our last flame expires
is our enlightened distinction
now extinguished?
Or this same where of space
and what of time
now revisiting a continuously burning ribbon...

To faith communities
and fraternities,
brotherhoods
and sisterhoods
and sororities,
local non-profits
and friendly neighborhoods,
mediators
and counselors,
cooperative associations,
trauma-informed learning theorists
and practitioners for resilient
mind/body peace,

Do not deceive yourselves.
Continuing to gaze and daze 
on a monotonous monocultural path

Disassociating 
internal v external
navel v social 
my anthro nature v our environmental nurture


Is not inter-religiously wealthy
and not...

I notice Life unfolding each embryo of Time
sewing Earth's naturally revolving liturgy,
Eco-Rites of Passage
through TransMillennial Tao's fertile transition field,
Earthly universe our Garden-Commons home,
sacred cooperative space,
human nature's polynomial language place.

Time unveils creative conscience as incarnating evolution,
Dharmakaya.

Space covers metaphysical gravity valleys of co-temporal metaphor
premised on regeneratively patterned...

When you and your wife visited,
you shared a question asked by a pastor
of a raped
and thereby pregnant
vulnerably young and questioning parishioner.

"If your unborn child survived
his first year
and walked back into your home
do you think you would still want to kill him?"

Probably not,
I'm thinking.
And,
perhaps more pastorally...

My most troubling client
told me he died last night.

While this did not appear to be his somber case,
nor, sadly,
did my home office silently resound
like this was his actual historical peace,
I did conjure up sufficient energy
to ask why he thought so
or felt so
or hoped so
or feared...

Notice
in silent anticipations
softening distinctions
empower fluidity,
blending Language
Culture
Communication,
symbol recreating systems.

Consider
how apparent differences
between discrete word choices
may also nonverbally spread
across indiscrete relationships
dividing and regathering
LeftBrain verbally dominant
embodied Natural
severed from abstract Spiritual

RightHand Body dominating communion
over RightMind wisdom communication

Where "RightBrain" sensation
flows information
non-segregation
celebration
from root-chakra throbbing Source
for making sacred sense
of metaphysical nonsensory distinctions

Nonverbal noticed...

Your compassion reveals
mutual biological interests,
a powerful tool
for focusing fertile thoughts
and pent-up feelings

My passion regenerates
articulates
seeks to accurately label
read and process,
attend to your best nonviolent communications,
nonverbally hummed flirtations
of this
our potentially significant
Otherness.

These compassion communications,
positions,
postures,
poses,
plays,
prances and dances and trances,

Intuited trauma and therapy narratives
infest RightBrain's integral 
soulful feelings
and WinWin flirt...

Among the hills and stone I walked
mind a wander, lost in thought
on I stumble round cwm and lake
on rocks unmoved and churned gravel

Whiffs of clouds haze the view
an ancient aura surrounding sky reaching peaks
Through the cloud punctures visions
of climbers on acute slopes, scrambling quickly
The lone...

Inferno hurt 
By: Christopher Nickles 

He wouldnt promise her the world.

For that was a promise he couldnt keep.

Promised her all possible, Evan when cold. 
But when he needed her, she disappeared. 
Went missing like a shooting star at night. 
As his world starts to fall...

Singers and dancers,
artists and writers,
philosophers and poets,
academics and health professionals,
parents and teachers,
actors and contemplatives,
grandparents and children,
live and die between Heaven and Hell.

Between Heaven's interdependent sensory Enlightenment
and Hell's individual secularized Industrious-Militant Revolutions

Pathology and sin result from severing healthy spiritual tools
for development
from degenerative denatured fake-wealth weapons
for destruction.

Heaven's...

Though within me
I feel red motions,
Burning up Earth's mountains
and plains,

Far away from Earth's green-blue ocean,
Still this red blood heart can sing:

We are sailing,
All EarthTribes now,
never health harbor
or safe port have we known.

Our Anthropocene
surfs the ocean we travel regathering
red ironclad Earth
blues our green
boat
home....
