Best Yins Poems
Auld SangsSing tae me the auld sangs that ah learnt when a bairn,
Sitting at ma mithers knee hearin the lilting tunes,
Carrying me far awa in ma mind
Wurds o the land whaur ah live
An love aw the deys o ma life.
The auld sangs o Caledonia...

Why LifeWhy does dawn dress robust morning,
while dusk undresses sight?
Each dawn incarnates another Earth Day
a lifetime of Easter mornings
redeeming nocturnal sight's revolution,
another therapeutic day of gift-it-forward light,
some longer,
some shorter
before naked covered night.
Why life?
To uncover love's lift-up light
integrity's co-arising comprehensive bright.
Why love?
To discover love life...

We Will Walk Our Rains - Collab: James FraserWE WILL WALK OUR RAINS
Welcome the falling rain with a rainbow smile
dripping onto our face rippling even the sea.
Flowers and bushes mottled wet along the aisle
together in the pouring rain, running with glee!
Without a care in the world the brackens spree
and beneath the trees nesting...

Climatic ParableOnce within our time,
SkyPrince and SunGod talk,
as usual,
endlessly actually,
sending their radiant messages
out toward mutually gravitating receivers,
no Yins allowed to pitch;
just catch integrative flow.
SkyPrince wonders if SunGod might consider turning down his heat,
and wanders aloud as Sun burns enlightened embodied minds,
"I'm worried about EarthGoddess,
she seems wilting
and...

Uniting States of WisdomWe have an enemy within called the ego
who prevents us from using our mind intelligently.
It hides deep within our heart
and emerges with regularity
to challenge and consume our will.

Yolks and Whites, the RemixTime's natural evolutionary purpose
and revolutionary EarthTribal meaning
is primordial eco-centric gratitude for being,
as compared to human nature's language
of becoming some intent we are not yet.
Evolution of our human natural culture
explicates
explains
our cooperative vocational
ecological purpose.
From this exegetical core of consciousness
we each are free to discover
those meaningful outcomes,
value-fertile,

If We Were GodsIf we were Earth gods and goddesses,
with powers to create anything we prefer
for our healthiest wealth attainment,
would we settle for living in a swamp
created by our own collective lack of mindfulness
about how to play longer-term WinWin?
If we were Earth gods and sacred goddesses,
not much worried...

Beloved RefugeesMy LeftYang eye and ear,
and maybe throat
and hand
and probably vocational foot
remain adamantly persuaded
My most successful time for deep ecological listening
and watching
is immediately after inhaling a vast theological lungful
preparing to speak my WiseElderness
into the remaining yin void
of those no longer refuged
or capable
of hearing nurture
and seeing

Cheerio ImaginationsImagine,
for the two thousand and twentieth time,
Yang is hierarchical upside power hungry
from above,
authorized to prey on those yins below,
however resiliently they may pray.
Yang grows politically overpowering strengths
of an autonomously omnipotent god,
pejoratively associated with patriarchy,
and ethologically connected with Bucky Fuller's "convex"
So, of course,
Yang's inevitable intuitively appositional...

Illogical ConclusionsAnd Logical 2020 ReIntroductions
The politicization of health care
stems from capital's socialization of value,
from roots valuing wealth-through-extraction
rather than health-through-inclusion.
What must become win/win
WholeEarth patriotic strategies
are now sadly reduced to win/lose nationalistic
straight white male
left-brain dominant
stingy propaganda
spilled out in abstract bits
and theoretical pieces.
The economic dominance
and distance
between...

Tricks With TreatsEconomic Tricks as Political Treats
from the Peace Council of MotherTrees
Herein lie my tricks with treats,
said she.
I imagine with my family,
and my on-line cooperative Allies,
and then my most wildly cooperative neighbors,
how we can best eco-trick
and poli-treat
together.
We imagine
what this community,
and then this nation,
would look and...

These Liberating TruthsI'm musing with Jill Lepore,
historian (Harvard feminist, but definitely within brackets of general interest),
through eight hundred pages of These Truths
telling an other U.S. herstory.
She starkly says,
"Slavery is political"
while I had been thinking more of addictive economic
and punitive domestic relationships,
enslaving social absence of healthy relationships,

Rush With Me, Wind
"The wind is the pounding of my heart."
Rush with me, wind! Help my heart pound,
with forces of tornado's sound;
yet, gentle as a summer breeze
slow dancing, twirling through the trees.
My heart, like wind- prevails unbound.
My heart, like wind, is often bound
by pressures building- quite profound
to weather...
