Five Pillars
A house will stand when pillars five
Are cared for so it can survive.
People – hearts that build the way,
Their trust decides if dreams will stay.
Organisation - bones and frame,
Without clear roles, all falls to blame.
Processes - the hidden streams,
That carry work, that shape our dreams.
Information - truth in hand,
The compass strong in shifting sand.
Technology -

Dig more holes please!
Deep, hollowed out, cavities
For springtime debunk, revival.

The Lake
Your life is a lake
for you to walk around it,
always in the same direction -
never reversing course,
watching others swim
sometimes drown,
as the path will take you,
almost certainly,
to where you’ve started.

I Was a Holistic Therapist
I was a Holistic Therapist
with oils and creams galore.
most clients were lovely
but some you had to ignore.
One came asking for 'extras'
which i answered with a threat
I said I'd throw his clothes outside
which I'm sure he would regret.
The thing that really bothered me
made me want to beat him down,
wasn't just the suggestion,
but he only offered me

Holistic Healer
Leery, scintilla, wrap me in this enormousness.
We've already undergone a mutual metamorphosis.
A Holocene, a drum, and an endlessly greening.
Ding, magnetic fields, the universe's blessing.
Smoke streams out of my smoldering core.
Dragonflies erupt from a hole in my sore.
Your eyes hue made me opine of the Atlantic.
Lepidolite composes my silvery muse in traffic.
Strands that

Holistic Health Choices
There probably are some psychotropic meds
helpful with win/win rerooted thinking
reconnecting within feelings,
positive and negative
But meth
and alcohol
and heroin
and depression
and anxiety meds
are not among these.
Nor are behavior management practices
hoping to fade out robust addictions
to substances
and victim spiritualities
against healing
without replacing shame
and blame
and self-loathing
with regenerative health
is also natural/spiritual wealth
ego/ecosystemic
thinking Left and feeling Right
solidarity systems
of compassion

Reiki
today i tried reiki
and a woman with warm hands
washed energy from my head to my feet
with arms moving in figure eights.
i lay on the table like a woman about to be cut in half
and she ran up my spine in vertical lines
no one ever cured someone by pushing air around
but she seems so serious

Earthtribe Celebrations
War is not my wintry answer
when summer's serene peace
remains a cherished question.
Late autumn's year end Advent
sadly anticipates late winter's
grey unrelenting Lent
As Christmas traumatically
commercially prophesies
black Good Friday
before Easter mortality
Painful future passion story losses,
hopefully temporary,
yet now recently felt
with post-bimillennial stressors.
A global sensory climate of anxiety
and not anticipation,
of unease
and not health
across the nation
Of crumbling democratic energy
fading public

Churning of Holistic Sunrise
Churning of holistic sunrise,
churched by God above.
Preaching of vivid truth.
Gleaming eyes see it.
No words — baby crawls
into Father’s lap.
In passing of years
fiery reds, tangerines —
lost in translation;
the tongue lies.
At death’s incline,
impending groom
holds up the globe of the sky.
Like a newborn baby
with no teeth,
an innocent smile
resumes.

Death Tied Life
What lies waiting
at the end of a self-made
independently empowered
self-invested
"pulled my own economic-political bootstraps"
life?
A unilateral
linear life,
like any passionate journey,
requires an end point
for returning in the opposite direction;
In this lifeline
ego/eco-systemic case,
from regenerative
to degenerating autonomous powers.
What happens
at the end of an emergent spiral,
rainbow,
expanding circle,
oval,
deepening square
and swelling out reverse-triangular power frame,
irregular and mysterious polygon,
other than a renew beginning
into further

Sacred EarthMother and Child,

No less true for elephants

Awesome Grace
I wonder what it means
we are a multicultural species
still capable of waging war,
employing ballistic terrorists,
investing in capitalism's ruthless game
of surgical monopoly
to become patriarchs of bloodied mountains,
This feels related,
perhaps co-arising,
with inability to distinguish
an ecology of natural grace
from an efficient economy of spiritual just rewards,
Ego's self-righteous returns
for prudent win/lose strategic investment
in owning Earth,
pieces of the property pie,
and

Holistic Hovering Butterflies
Angels within their delicate disguise,
Beckoning flights of the butterflies…
Mystical mosaics with enticing eyes,
Dreamscapes of ambiance will arise…
Kissing their lavender soulful skies,
In endless motions they harmonize…
In magical movements they hypnotize,
Flapping of their wings will mesmerize…
Frolicking upon fields they formalize,
Majestic Monarchs as they colonize…
Reflecting rainbows as they symbolize,
Secreting beauty to the early sunrise.

Holistically Speaking
Not all on earth has great allure:
Roaches, lice, bad eggs, manure.
On dung hills, yet, spring forth sweet flowers.
Therefore, ye wise, employ your powers
to see the world as one great whole,
its fairest face, its warts, an' all.
