Don't fret, dear; let's wend off the strife,
Candor your winsome grace—embrace life.
With a smile—arouse your inner fire,
Ignite the magic; cater glamour to inspire.

Revamp your vibes—yield them to radiate,
With the incitement of compassion, illuminate.
Empower the night to be a canvas for our dance,
Culminate...

During a period of despair and emptiness, 
I used to peer into deep tunnels of pettiness. 
Dark and dull hobgoblins gnawed at my heart,
I've developed a strong sense of impart. 

Now, each one grasps what we are withholding,
The term "long and narrow" is thrown around. 
I am on...

Mother Goose and Father Time
All together had children nine.
Love ruled hers,
His were let free.
All wound up productive, happy and fine....

Naturally regenerative
living systems,
like Earth
optimize global ecological opportunities
as co-redemptive economies
of loving solidarity relationships
expressing mutual not-negative subsidiarity,
within a web of interdependent Win-Win default networks.

If we are born passionate investments 
of past yang/yin regenerations
redeeming economic risks
weighed as ecological opportunity
for pleasuring pleasant peace 
with active love for all species,
all...

In Colchester, CT,
and possibly in your town too,
we have a LongTerm ReCoVery Committee
looking at 20/20 prevision
for post-pandemic climate health revisions
for wealthy local and global EarthJustice.

So, what have I noticed
that might be economically
and ecologically win/win useful?

In a post-pandemic
post-Trump StraightWhitePatriarchal-capitalist cabal,
post-BusinessAsUsual monoculturing economic climates
of All-Or-Nothing
Either-Or
Win-Lose competitive health-care,...

"The way I see it,
we're all related."
said my EcoTherapist.

While DNA and RNA include infinite permutation possibilities,
their primal core functions suggest simple bipolar relationships
between who's inside and what's outside,
and who is dominant so the Other recessed,
perhaps chronically repressed,
distressed,
oppressed,
suppressed,
undressed
not impressed.

So these are prime-fractal entities 
and dialectical mind/body
left-verbal/right-nonverbal

"America's health care system
is neither healthy,
caring,
nor a system."
Walter Cronkite

An organic system,
an interdependent co-governing web
of relationships between communicating subsystems,

To be resilient,
to remain robust,
must be win/win cooperative rooted
and not so much capitalist,
headstrong win/lose dominant intended.

Win/lose plutocratic,
kleptocracy,
and capitalist monocultural intent,
straight white patriarchal divine design,
extractive environmental plunder,
all logically conclude
with...

OK, mindful class,
past time to reopen our nurturing nests,
our nutritional mouths
and good-natured ears
and fertile reverse reserves
of not Lose/Lose
EarthMother Health-Wealth Care.

First,
we define our variables,
bilaterally co-arising
recreating
bipartisan dipolarities

Depolarizing
bipolar competing aggravations
replacing Old School co-gravitations
cooperative structured spatial out-forms (x-Yang)
and compassionate temporal in-flow(y-Yintegral

Organic green growing secular BodyLeft (x)
and sacred MindRight felt...

Please don't speak his trumped up name

Like ValdeMore
and more
and more hard-played cards
in my competing hand,
history echoes such dark memories
fettered, now and then,
by death's final reincarnation

Because some will claim
his was a name
for Boys will be CowBoys
all White the privileged 
well-capitalized same,

An unspoken name
for Wild CowBoy Lost,
a...

Freedom grows with sanctity

A problem
for those whose StraightLaced White God
is too small
to capture all young
and wild-cultured compassions,

And yet also too spaciously
transcendently spiritualized
who would mere me be
to find agency
outside such omniscient unchanged
Changing Judge
restricting resonant freedoms
of sacred orthodox wise behaviors
healthy polypathic thoughts
wealthy pan-sheistic feelings

The Great Transition Changer
sounds...

Last night I dreamed I was Donny's sexy Secretary 
of Public Health Education,
charged with training health therapists
who traveled from home to shelter
with a one question survey,
"Which do you experience as healthier
for yourself,
those around you,
for your environment,
to perform more competitively,
or to engage more cooperatively?"

If I were...

When holistic
interdependent
sacred 
joyfully compassionate Earth integrity
remains EarthTribe's primal vision,
polycultural meaning,
panentheistic networking purpose,
reconciling win/win peak experiences,

Then past win/lose unreconciled dark histories
remain our potential win/win
co-messianic challenge

To not settle too quickly
comfortably
into agreeing to disagree,
continuing autonomous
individual ego-supremacist perspectives
long familiar with "just us tribal folks"
truly
and fairly
seek resilient redemption
from those other
unenlightened...

When I was in seminary
my spiritual director advised me to notice,
as had he,
that there are two kinds of:

Clergy

Those who understand their calling
as to coldly forgive
and heatedly challenge
all bedeviled sinners

And those who feel called to mentor
gods and goddesses
and all transgender images in-between
to warmly engage
and repeatedly comfort
all...

Can you make any sense of
systemic racism?

No more common sense than
too much patriarchalism--
all leftbrain-rightwing dominant things
oppressing sacred Earth's
polycultural win/win systems
promoting resiliently wealthy
resonant synergetic health

Care given
as received
in fruitful wombs,
like apple cores in transition
from refuse
toward rebirth

Maybe an EarthTribal positive prejudice
not associating Yang courageous energy
with evil supremacist paternalism
and...

I am sad
and need reassurance
this choice was not bad
at the time of searching
Home's new-found voice,
and is not bad
now,
and will not be bad
and sad
in my shortening future.

Diminishing now
into year by year forecasts,
no longer this seventh decade
by assured next decade
sensing less reassured choices
may matter no longer than...
