Supremely Courted InJustice
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

Universal Rhymes in Unitarian Time
If Eastern co-redemption

Western peace-salvation

Just because relationships resonantly rhyme
doesn't mean they are always

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

Yosemite'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.

My Social Science Seminar

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

Awakening to the Red Road: An Ecopoetic Odyssey 'Part 4 of 6'
IV. Interconnected Web
Teach your children the ethos of

of the earth under their feet.
Is it more than just soil? It's heaven —
The Chosen Hallowed Retreat
Where we connect
For you must see life as fully rich with
the resounding vibrations of our

Awakening to the Red Road: An Ecopoetic Odyssey 'Part 3 of 6'
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

Awakening to the Red Road - An Ecopoetic Odyssey, 'Part 2 of 6'
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

SAVE 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
