Best Resiliently Poems
Will To SurviveWatch in action exuberance of life
As a toddler starts, stops, and falls,
Slowly but surely learning to walk
Questing ahead in poise of pizzazz
Powered by strength of inner voice
Taking first steps of will to survive,
Oblivious to clutch of circumstance
Sending some kids to refugee camps
Or seeking asylum, walking...

Persistence : a Collab With Cd(A Paul Callus & Carolyn Devonshire collaboration)
Standing not far from the cliff’s edge
the aging tree, solitary,
with gnarly roots clings to the rocks -
she shows resolve, tenacity.
My younger days were easier;
as a tiny...

Bipartisan DissonanceWhen oppositional cognitive dissonance
deflects focus from compassion,
I've learned to go back to when I deflected focus from her.
She sends me passive-aggressive messages,
bread crumbs leading back in time
to where she began to feel alone,
marginalized,
siloed,
anxious,
neglected.
If you don't want a sopping wet tile bathroom floor
because I...

Things I Forget To AskWhat does it feel like to wake up into your skin?
Your day?
What do you feel first most days?
Is it in any way influenced by gratitude,
or totally given over to worry,
anxious
or, worse, anticipating
shortness of healthy mind time
and insufficiency of safe body space?
Is this life...

Heart's LamentShall I leap for the sky to then capture a star
Or be stead on this earth and admire from afar
Would I journey for miles to sense sunsets on shore
Or be sated with every day views from my door
Ah, my soul yearns for love that seems...

Greenearth PatriotsAll organic parties
committed to EarthTribe
as My HomeTeam
could become EarthPatriots
experiencing every day EarthDay;
which, of course
we are revolving through
together,
more resiliently
than ecopolitically polarizing
AnthroSupremacist Apartheid.
Speaking from our felt-within
multipartisan democratic
cooperative co-governing experience
in life's healthier
and safer feeling
thinking
green outdoor communication classrooms
For parents
domestic partners
clergy
healthy resilient cooperatively-owned corporations,
elected leaders of those greening...

Practice Makes ResilienceWhen I mention my morning meditation practice,
many respond with wishes and hopes
they could
would
should discipline themselves
to also join in to this practice
practice
praxis
until fragmented uncommunicative ego/ecosystems
finally get life resiliently realistically right
more than ego-narcissistically wrong.
But this,
I ego-think and eco-feel,
reverses what is a more centrally profound point
of ZeroZone cosmic-organic...

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

Reverse CreationTaoist 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...

Whole Earth PatriotismWhat is patriotism?
Pride of and for national, and maybe cultural, superiority.
Maybe superior health caring integrity?
What is nationalism?
Usually positive values about monocultural
monotheistic
monopolistic
monochromatic identity,
but I guess national health charism
could also include negative evaluations,
begging for more international
interdependent freedom
empowered to do wealth good.
What is resiliently good?
Not...

New BeginningsToday we begin with a quote from Eisenstein
with commentary in brackets
informed by Bucky Fuller's cooperative metaphysic
of Synergetic Steerage.
"We have a[n autonomic neurosystemic] need to stay in contact with people with whom we share emotional and economic ties. In past times, these people were...

Gaia Out SpeaksQueen Gaia
of Earth's Shabbat
is here to speak today.
Unfortunately,
she can only sign,
and the only way she can see
is through our DNA/RNA fractally-balancing syntax,
so she has asked if she could respond to your questions
as she understands them
within convex Space concaving Time,
Her TransParently vulnerable memories
YangGod, of Physical Convex...

Sublime TerrorLet's say I am an antro-privileged terrorist.
What would we be saying?
And is human nature supremacy
over all other less sacred nature/spirits
as monotheistically redundant
as anthro-industrious militarism?
If you are a HolySpirit panentheist,
is "religious terrorist" as oxymoronic
as using "militarized intelligence"
to achieve win/win peaceful resonance
of chronic win/lose unjust anthro-dissonance?
I...

Belizean BlendBELIZEAN BLEND
In the beginning it was the Yucatec, the Mopan and Kekchi as well
Who came from the steppes of Asia where nomads dwell
They fished and farmed milpas, in paradise; away from hell
Some building great civilizations that, for many reasons, eventually fell
Then came the...

Zen MathListen up and learn deep,
said the non-existential Zen Math teacher.
I'm only saying this once
and it will be on tomorrow's test
now nearly finished today.
1. All nomials are part of the universal network
of synergetic polynomials,
just as all memes are part of an integral memory system
or there...
