Best Rhythmed Poems

Barefoot in the sand I walk the seashore, carefree  
taking mental snapshots of you and me;
Living in the sanctuary of your natural agility
I am a womb in you, both beautiful and free.    
When you pour me out my soul refreshes, ...

Numbers, numerals,
like words,
combinations of letters,
mean something,
sometimes more secular,
sometimes more sacred ecological.

Numerals and letters share sacred iconic human-intelligence root systems
within a bicameral ecology of mind-body nonduality,
both RightBrain matriarchal empowering flow of integrity (Czikszentmihalyi)
and LeftBrain patriarchal Yang deductive empowered language
of ecological-bilateral numerals (B. Fuller).

Numbers,
like rhythms and fractal-holonic...

Life explores integrity,
hoping to fulfill
all exploding polypathic 
curiosities polyphonic.

How might history rewrite humanity
if those who adventured out
and eagerly invaded
felt more reluctant to dominate?
More sure that their long-term survival
in this, or any, non-native land
required them to first learn those languages at hand,
and adopt them as their...

I stumbled over Paul Tillich's translation
of the MessiahMentor's Other Great Commission.

The Great Commission we learned in Sunday School
was to go out and convert the barbarians
and savages to Christianity.

Yet this Other Great Commission feels like a necessary prerequisite,
like requiring Statistics 1
before wandering on into the further...

1. Not thrown out of the show business
every year’s good and never less
my age placed in his mind’s steerage
I’m down to prove he won’t manage
it is no different loving him
I'm older but with the same vim.

Chorus
A freebooter visits his youth
but my hands put him under...

I'm sure it was Rob Brezsny, again,
who first pointed out to me
that Western psychoanalysts give priority to pathologies within family relationships,
while Eastern analysts, more embedded in philosophies of interdependence,
begin with what nurturing health dynamics we can find
within those same family relationships,
for it is these,
after all,
that...

ENCHANT ME!
(A Contemporary Animist’s Prayer) 

To the shared breath of life:

Enchant me!
Whisper to me in the cadence and rhymes, 
the deeper susurrations of this tellurian realm
with its numinous places that already call out
my name!
Talk to me about my mother and father and
the wonderful moment that...

In what ways have nutritional 
and health
and financial
and well-being values increased 
over past time,
whether a season,
or a year,
or a decade,
or a lifetime,
or a millennium,
and in what ways have toxic dissonant disvalues
and decaying trends ebbed and flowed?

Where exactly?
For whom and not for whom?
How, when, and where...

The more continuous from past through future our ego-stretching identity becomes,
the more god/dess-humane omnipotent emerges
our original polypathic multicultural intent
and future climate health practice.

Consilience,
co-empathic democratic trust,
between religious faith systems,
each transubstantiating interdependent spiritual dynamic within our comprehension,
we call syncretism.

Reconciling trust between ecopolitical paradigms as health-thru-dying  networks...

Love's winged to soar
Above outlooks and mind's decor
And abscond from realism
Of life's spectral prism.

Love comes in just a glimpse
But will desert you in a wing of an eye
Leaving you with myriad driblets of tears
Yet will spawn a worthwhile smile in your naive face. . .

Once...

Yang insists on consistent deductively reasoned,
exegetically Orthodox Business As Usual,
truth of logical proof,

while Yin invites every bit of information
into not win/lose inconsistent
inductively-heuristically resonant
eisegetically polycultural-multisystemic win/win orthopraxis
proportionally rhythmed and symmetrically syntaxed
beautiful trust of ecotherapeutic nutritional discernment
of eco/octave/fractal frequency-balancing 
holonically regenerative compassion.

Panentheistic communication 
between our internal neuro-landscape...

Each sacred RightBrain
is one of many DNA-RNA scripted WiseElders.

RightBrain's first Word for perfectly humane,
energy or nutrition,
depends on exterior or interior perspective,
resonantly compatible with emergent LeftBrain ego-strength
as also Sacred RightBrain EcoFlow
of Energy's Nutrition.

What pre-millennially grew YangPatriarchal
outpaced YinMatriarchal WiseElder sacred Traditions.

Why?

To teach us,
prepare us,
for what we need

Once upon a time a gymnast teacher told a girl, 
and all her classmates, 
to gather round 
to spot the student currently bouncing 
on the trampoline. 

They circled 
to volunteer a ring of imperfectly rhythmed
but positively patterned
intent to help, 
should the witnessed bounce go horribly...

If it's not organic
it's not sexy
and probably not all that amusing
either.

If it's up and down bipolar movement
with arms versus legs,
it's Yang male energy,
and potentially horned up
and/or out-sized survival.

If it's side to side dipolar,
it's Yin synergy,
all about love
surfing liberally up,
vulnerably unfolding out,
and conservatively back down
refolding in

Everywhere The Kids Are

By: J. Philip Harris

Kids are here; Kids are there
The kids I see are everywhere
I’m swimming in a toddler pool 
Of poop and pee and puke and drool
The chaos ripe, as it abounds
That rhythmed, cacophonic sound
It’s heightened ring I hear, resounds 
Everywhere the...
