The U.S. Constitution's First Amendment
protects individual and collective rights
to practice religious beliefs

Whether these are monotheistic
or polytheistic
or pantheistic
or panentheistic
or even atheistic.

These beliefs and practices
must be religious
and not irreligious

Reconnecting
regenerative
good faith spiritual
re-associative

Not disturbingly disconnecting
degenerative
bad faith dispiriting
demonically dis-associative.

This 1st Amendment does not give
re-ligious right or left,
or any Tao-theistic in-betweens,
freedom rights to claim we are not diversely
and multiculturally free
to practice

Premium MemberUniversal Rhymes in Unitarian Time

If Eastern co-redemption
integrates unitarian-longing bodhisattvas
perhaps
Western peace-salvation
engages universal-belonging co-messiahs.

When highly functioning just-us
CONSCIENtious organic bodies
are also
1 eco-zone of co-redemptive dancing

Then deeply flowing peace-full
RELIGious sacred minds
are also
0-ego-zone of salvific
EarthPatriotic/GaiaMatriotic
resonantly singing 
resilient dancers.

Just because relationships resonantly rhyme
doesn't mean they are always
and everywhere True
AND
Because resilient correlations rhyme
throughout reasoned time
and seasoned space
also does not kindly mean we are never
and nowhere
not amusingly

Monotheism's greyscale God
is a monochromatic antithesis
of polytheism's gay
full-color
Gaian Hypothesis.

A radiant monotheistic SunGod 
is the 1 numerator antithesis
of a polytheistic 
non-0 denominator's
rain-bowed Gaian Hypothesis.

Orthodox yang monotheism
is the often lonely at the top antithesis
of ortho-practiced 
yintegrally compassionate 
pleasured polytheism.

Testosterone glowing
linear erections
are the Male antithesis
of estrogen flowing
round anticipations 
joying
enjoying
enjoining FeMale prothesis.

A transcendently nominative FatherSun
is the monotheistic
spiritually voiced antithesis

Malevolent Forms of Warning

The breathing, bare branched tree outside the kitchen window?

She shivers about, tense
at the inhospitable world 
blinds and plexiglass seal frightened creatures from. 
Rocking
from root to root — 
in front, in back, in 
the sun’s silhouette, the wind fancies her social anxious, as if 
her and I were not sustained by the same substance, as if 
our roads will not diverge. When I

Premium MemberYosemite's Beauty

Yosemite enchants us with her beauty,
And throngs take two-dimensional pictures
To fill 8x10 frames and social sites.

She speaks with water and light, but only
iPhones listen – for few sit quietly 
To hear her murmurs of mystic meaning.

She remains but a photo-op and her
Spirit breaks – she pleads, ‘Hear me, please!’ as
Granite-rim tears smear her mascara.

Premium MemberMy Social Science Seminar

I asked my Sacred Arts and Science professor
why seminars work and play better in feminist circles
than claustrophobic minion lines
of lectured from teacher's desk
above

S/he sings
in rings
of paradox,
"When you ask about warm creative
safe-feeling circles
and not defensive feeling lines of waiting
for your ego-identified return,

You also speak of integral compassion
and not disintegrative dispassion,
of pleasure
and not pain
and loss
and suffering

IV. Interconnected Web

Teach your children the ethos of 
   the rampart-
   of the earth under their feet. 
Is it more than just soil? It's heaven — 
The Chosen Hallowed Retreat

III. Ecological Awareness 

In this fragile eggshell
I will call life
for security's a mirage
I chase.
Existence is a gamble I take
a wild and
desperate gamble.
Not a problem –
to dissect, I say
but an eagle’s call
heard.
A life joy-filled
sorrow
I feel every single day.

When illness
descends a chilling hand on my
fevered brow.
We should huddle together,
a desperate "us" against the "now."

The wisdom of ages

II. Nature's Cyclical Dance

End is not death. Changing into something new is good.
A leaf falls, then goes back into the dark soil.
Next year's flowers sleep under winter's quiet.
We fear the end, but nature shows us it's not bad.
Death is a new start.

My Anishinaabe mentor Little Deer laughed at my wide eyes.
That first forest walk, as

Premium MemberSAVE THE MORIBUND LUNGS OF THE EARTH

Biosphere's tropical respiratory rainforests are on the verge of extinction,
the exclusive reservoir of biodiversity, the Congo Basin is shrinking rapidly.

Deforestation dehydrates the caliginous evergreen region,
scorching heat changed the water cycle irreversibly.

Locking in scanty rainfall and a prolonged arid season,
tall towering canopies fell down~ecosystem lost balance entirely.

Greenhouse emissions omitted approx. 288–247 gigatones of carbon absorption,
erosion erased
