Best Taoism Poems
Soulful TaoismCritics experience Taoist governance
and communication systems
as heartless
yet somehow Bohmian mindful
Others, more kindly Bodhisattva
and Messianic embracing,
might know Taoist
nondualistic both/and thinkers and feelers
renowned for win/win optimizing theological
and ecological
yin/yang
spirit/nature
sacred/secular ecological philosophy
Self/Other GoldenRule co-governing,
intentionally biased in democratic favor
of co-defining wealth energy functions
Verbally and/or non-verbally communing,
heartfully...

Healthiest Wealth of LoyaltyWe each and all have, I suspect,
a universal rightbrain multicultural awareness
that patriotism
risks degenerating into leftbrain fascism,
Isolating nationalism
self-righteously defending militaristic ego-supremacy
and patriarchal privilege of an apartheid State
moving toward fear-mongered isolationism
supporting competitively debating
predative politicization
of self-made capitalism
Rather than recognizing our solidarity selves
as nations resting and wrestling
and co-investing
on interdependent...

Re Dawning OsirisWhat might be your perfect way
to awake with joy and gratitude each morning
within this new day
old way
of opportunity and mourning?
This morning's epiphonic awakening
into Beloved Paradise
opens humor eyes to a full bright winter moon
shining through my bedroom window
greeting pale yellow dawn
fading starlit sky of not quite...

Centering PowersAll breathing
hearted
living sacred creations
are born of white light
and red power,
Of empowering transparent ecstasy
and vulnerably impassioned fire,
Of triumphant wind
radiantly communing spring tease
and slow burning
Earth-rooted
desire
To restore life-giving powers
of just-right lust for co-passions,
and to illuminate life/death
impassioned powers,
healthy white light polypathic
wealthy red powers co-empathic,
Born of illuminating sacred light
reborn of...

Stone HomeMy stone home
is unchanged by rains.
My stone home
does not
rustle and ruffle in every breeze.
My stone home
won't ever fall to flame.
This is a saddening
for me.
For I won't see it change.
The valley is built with bamboo homes.
And thatchings.
And each will come to pass,
as things do.
But...

Ironic RevolutionsInteresting
is it not?
Not so Grand Children of immigrants from Europe,
seeking religious freedom
and economic advantage
and almost certainly of self-examined HAVE-NOT status,
Because, if not of personally
and economically
persecuted persuasion
and unenlightened neglect
and politically disempowering abuse.
then why would these wise GrandElders
have immigrated
toward this more cooperatively enlightened health
and empowering democratic safety

My Rightwing FamilyMy RightWing
all white male dominant
or venus invidiously envious
family
Is way quick to remain gated
away from drug
and alcohol
and automated arms dealers
and users,
black market buyers
and sellers
and renters.
Yet these same straight
boxer whitey patriarchs
are curiously too tidy comfortable
with jingoistic
nationalistic
patriotic commodified statistics
Athletically supporting
made and paid in the...

Healing Systemic TraumaCan 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...

Politically Wise Faith SystemsReligiously held
glad v sad belief systems,
economic and ecological and political re-connections,
positive faith and healthy consilient
relief systems,
variations on a resonantly resilient

Rooted in

polycultural evidence of faith in synergetic nurturance,
mental/physical nondual healthy re-wealthing outcomes
of organically living trusted truths
restoring co-passionate agapic forests...

That Troubling Interdependent Sensory WebI mean,
seriously?
Talk about
boundary issues!
I get it,
why the 7th multicultural value,
and most recent
to finally make it in
to sacred UniversalYang/UnitarianYintegral
iconology,
doxology,
eulogy,
ecotherapeutic theology,
green ecofeminist ecology,
declares our polypathic RESPECT
for our interdependent sacred web

reincarnating win/win love
As in,
could Elder EarthMothers
get a little RESPECT?
Which just might not fail to mention
that AnthroSupremacists...

Red Justice But Green PeaceHeteroSapiens have bipolar developed
miraculous capacities

subordinate to licit legal judicial systems
Judiciously approved punishment

requiring flat fees
regardless of capacity to pay,
imprisonment,

divined as unusually cruel retributions

Masculine V PatriarchalWhat looks sexy
and aesthetically pleasing
on Society's well-endowed Page
May not feel so hot
when StraightWhite Daddy's capital-headed
economic fornication systems
lead toward Great White Father's abortion
of global green forests

Cosmic polarizing predations
against holy spirit invitations

Wandering Sacred HistoryI wonder
about wandering into sacred history
Back
remotely far
in collective memory
before humanity,
When EarthTribe regenerativity
was all compassionately gifted
divinity,
Panentheistically expressed
in ecofeminist panting Earth's
great rapturously gifted
economic ecology
of volcanic overflowing
and infilling relationships.
I wonder,
back before male religious cultures
and anthrosexual contagious climates,
were our elders' sensory
linguistically
meaningfully sacred prime ego-relationships
then LeftBrain purposely
separated from RightBrain deep...

A Flitting OfferingFlitting's like floating
only with
the least amount
and most
ineffectual
intention.
Intention
without
clarity
without
conviction
without
direction
without
without.
Each waft
a contravention.
Somersault of
summer
butterflies,
but better:
butterflits...
Plummer salts
of Winter,
snowfalls
but better:
snowflits...
Though flitting's
altogether fitting
if near-enough

is your kind of
Splendor....

Meeting V EncounterOur Sharing Circle begins
rejoining our universal values
within this sacred listening
unitarian space
For compassionate,
and most certainly nonviolent,
communication.
We each pause
for at least one silent great breath

Before vulnerable check-in
transparently reconnecting intention
to continue cooperatively co-investing
with this sometimes comedic co-inventing
therapeutic review
of tragic trauma infestations
Usually an admixture of these two
