Best Restoring Poems

Mend,
my friend…
Please, transcend.

Begin to bend…
with courage, defend
soul’s ache for Love to spend.

Free your heart; let arms extend
around this earth and back again!

Profits portend Divine dividend!

We are going to see a lot of changes, happen in the days to come
A time of serious reflection, into the many places we come from
As we are faced with challenges, we will stay united and strong
Everything good is worth restoring and we resist what...

Restoring Balance

Let me sleep in fields of primrose;
Allow me the peace of a shade tree.
For my worries to drift as the wind blows;
My spirit, blissfully free.

Should my thoughts carry to memories;
And for a moment relive my youth.
To childlike dreams and simplicity;
The evening shadows my sooth.

May...

"In restoring the land, I restore myself."
       Franz Dolp

We long ago started bilateral tree balancing information
for mind and land restoration structures.

We noticed trees in an old secular commodified above ground
and also a new-old sacred below Earth
bicameral Way.

Trunk  and...

"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...

Our old nemesis,
capitalism,
is much older than democratic theory,
and even older than profoundly resilient democratic practice,
which is rather like Christianity--
often communion preached
and seldom democratically and multiculturally proficient,
fruitful,
viral,
contagious,
multiplying economic loaves
and politically empowering fish.

Capital-rooted values
derive from tribal chiefs,
elite healers and clergy,
and, more recently,
in the era of empires and...

Permacultural project proposals,
for those who live where forests once prevailed,
could become sacred reforesting projects
employing secular eco-political democratic development
principles and procedures and Honorable Harvest policies
inclusive of Sacred MotherTrees.

Who: Maybe your local interfaith cooperative network.

When: Ongoing,
permaculturally developed with design standards
for polycultural health-trend outcome optimization,
Restorative Wealth Abundance,

Restoring American
Neighborhoods


Motherhood, Fatherhood, Parenthood, 
Brotherhood and Sisterhood are the keys
To the doors of a unified peace and goodwill
The hood being the covering of one mind

In an agreement, that empowers every step 
We take as a nation moving as one collective unit
Refusing to allow terror to...

How do we get to restoring democratic energy justice
for all EarthTribes?

Especially when those not originally enfranchised
in our GoodHealth Constitutions,
like slaves
like non-patriarchal
non-white
non-anthro
non-ego-centric 
non-elite subcultures
advocating for non-violent communication
inside health and outside wealthy green climates
probably don't feel this is even a restoration
of what was rhetorically said
but never actually...

I reached down into the bottom of my soul
Where there were sordid, bitter memories 
Of hearts I had wounded over years gone by 
I sorted carefully, reviewing each to decide
Whether I’d let them continue to fester there, 
Or, whether I’d make amends and restore ties...

In restorative justice programs,
victims of trauma establish facilitated goals for healing.
Victims are our first clients of solidarity.

But, our clients work on actively responding to punishing loss,
to violence,
violations of what could be,
and should have been, peace.

Peace and justice supported by the client's community,
neighbors,
friends,
family,
justice and peace therapeutic...

When the last remaining Yang propagandist
against deeply yin-suppressed pedagogists
falls back in love with cooperative educational love,
we will learn to live forever
as one EarthTribe
with integrity's richest bilateral potential.

When the last competing retributive jurist and counselor
and parent and ecopolitical leader 
sees past his WinLose ecopolitical assumptions and...

What is our primal purpose
for continuing this troubling relationship?
asked Yang of Yin.

If you are clueless
then you have not been listening
to us
as actively as nondual times would predict,
replied Yin against Yang.

For me,
this purpose is to enjoy Sacred MotherEarth,
but I preferred to hear yours first,
again,
your speaking grace
where...

I have been reading Jennifer Nordstrom's contributions
to the resilient Green Sanctuary,
a collaboratory production
giving birth to "Justice On Earth"--
which seems quite different than Donald Trump's
view of how to rebirth America's former patriarchal colonizing greatness,
yet again.

"Justice On Earth"
is more about restoring justice on Earth,
improving our ego-and eco-therapeutic...

As You See —

Yes.
I 
  AM
     Weeping… 

    And
       At the feet of God
          Wailing

Yes,
   In God’s sight 
My soul...
