Premium Member The Hills Are Alive

I grew up gay
and singing in musicals.
At the time, these two seemed coincidental,
diassociated,
although in retrospect....

Some dancing too
but with no training in that area,
more about singing.

I grew up with
The Hills are Alive with the Sound of Music.

Then I stopped growing up,
and went about the sometimes cooperative business
of Mastering
Community Economic Development
Public Administration
Divinity (which Bucky would call Synergy)
and certifications
Permaculture Design,

Then I began growing out,
and shorter,
singing The Earth is Alive 
in all Six NeuroSenses of Musical Adaptations.

Now I'm growing more deeply 
into long term polycultural ecotherapeutic outcome planning,
cooperative economic and political health-investment,
for both interior and exterior landscapes,
polypathing co-elationally
to bicameral rhythmic heart beat and air flow,
dancing a PanTheistic Opera
as synergetically possible
through ReLigious ReGenesis 
WinWin co-invested networks.

They are everywhere
once you learn to see through mind-wealth/body-health balance,
polycultural prime fractal energy octaves,
e-squared power = c-squared light
to bicameral eyes, and rooting trees,
well-pitched ears, 
listening for EarthTribe sounds of music

Feeling bilateral precessive flow
like a tornado of peak sexsensory synergy
in slow, 
sustained, 
resiliently re-connecting 
resonant love-life pace
of sacred Earth-mind gratitude 
for less bad
secularized Anthro-body attitude

Loving the lively hills
and internal valleys
for calming flash mob
unmusical anger management
while dancing
crown/root re-ligious prancing
mind/body amusing skills
musically romancing.


Premium Member Adopting Healthy Adaptations

In a nutritional communication sense
we are all adopting muses
within this open Universe
with health v pathology EarthTribe intelligence,
with curious and courageous Natural/Spiritual Ego
ZeroZone Centers.

CAdoption adds natural integrity
to spiritual dignity
of WinWin cooperative LeftYang-RightYin intent
longing to abide peacefully in green sanctuary communions
of co-responsive love,
transparently deductive persons
with vulnerably inductive health,
with politically transportive freedom to universally empower love
to economically transubstantiate freedom from patriarchal dominance
of LeftBrain disintegrating RightWing aggression,

CoAdaptive adoptions add divine integrity to humane dignity's potential
ego/eco-logical re-creolizations 
of interdependent nutritional DNA strings
and humanely cooperative enculturing nurture circles,
health waves and nutritionally robust frames,
resonant qualities 
and resilient quantities of green carbon-balancing adoptions,
re-adaptions for all EarthTribe's mutually compassionate re-solutions.

Here with bilateral enthymeming communicators
transporters
WinWin health-sanctuary inviters
conjoining 
sojourner sanctuaries past to Now
with co-adoption not not yet Here 
polypathic co-operative adaptions,
Left with Right 
eco-unitarian/theo-universal logos/mythos beauty
co-adopting/adapted Muses.

Premium Member End Times

Before the primate known as “man” became loquacious, 
With all his fishnet shenanigans, skylarking monkey shines, 
And thermo-nuclear weapons, 
There was a time when words among men 
Had not yet become discrete utterances 
Encoded with agreed upon meanings.
 
It was a time when disputes were rarely settled 
Through diplomatic concordance. 
During that long stretch of pre-history, 
Our ancestors’ best efforts at verbal communication 
Consisted of assorted grunts, howls, squeals, screams, cries,
And presumably laughter. 

Conflict negotiation in Paleolithic times 
Might have involved all these primitive sound bites, 
But would most likely conclude with blood being spilled. 
The development of verbal language among humans 
Would require the evolution, over many generations, 
of various specific anatomical adaptations.
 
The mechanisms that enable us to fill our lungs with air 
And expel it in a gymnastic manner up our throats,
Around our tongues, through our teeth, and past our lips, 
Allow us to produce all the recognizable vocalizations  
That comprise all the languages of the world 
With all their vocabularies and grammars. 

For most of pre-history the genus Homo 
Merely grunted, howled, squealed, screamed, cried,
And occasionally, it might be hoped, laughed. 
The development of verbal language among humans 
Would lead to the invention of promises, oaths, and vows,
But also lies, deception, and inhuman oppression.

In the end, we are all just talking monkeys. 
Talking monkeys that still grunt, howl, squeal, scream, cry, 
And sometimes laugh, whether it’s appropriate or not.
Talking monkeys armed with thermo nuclear weapons. 
Human history may be heading to an inevitable conclusion;
Talking monkeys will never be anything other than talking monkeys.

Premium Member MIRROR, MIRROR

MIRROR, MIRROR*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wearing a green gown, stood Starr~
a squirrel princess known near and far.
   In front of her mirror she did prance
  With an ego royal, filled with self-romance
“Mirror, speak of my beauty. Show me some devoir!

The mirror was wise, tried not to speak.
Thought of the princess as ugly antique.
     “Your hairstyle is a horrible a mess,
     And that old dress is just not noblesse!”
 “Have you lost your mind, you glistening freak?!”

“Me thinks I have. What’s come over me?
Of your beauty I unequivocally agree.
    I’m just a lowly piece of glass,
    Who spoke out of turn, with sass.”
He paused then said, “Princess, you’re the bees knees!”

*Note: The phrase "Mirror, mirror on the wall" originates from the fairy tale "Snow White," where the Evil Queen asks her magic mirror who is the fairest of them all. This line has been popularized in various adaptations, including Disney's animated film.

Tending Tapestry’s Tenter

Resilience reticent reverberations receding revelations roaming
Resolving residual revolutions resentment reset reposing rest

		Puzzling perceptions poet’s perspective Peace

Agency anticipation an arrays’ arrangement alive assorted aims
Antipode’s adjoining assiduous adaptations anchoured attached

		Wily words wildly withheld with watchman’s wake

Contingency contextual concussion colluding caressing carefully
Confused contusion collaborating consequential contra-points 

		Meaningless meaning meandering my murky mind

		Hence hidden host hones hopeful honest harvest

True Destiny

“A person often meets his destiny on the road he took to avoid it.” – Jean de La Fontaine
  
Trials amid tribulation
failures, gradual adaptations
life a series of grafts
some taking, others left for dead
  
a simple weave
making their way thru your head
  
stitches try to make scars
more bearable  
but the shameful still bleed
from within
  
where are you my destiny
as I battle life alone in this bed?
  
stars have come out tonight
and music begins to play
sync my soul with happenstance
our future sits at bay
  
sip slowly from her chalice
don't let this one slip away
dreams aren't meant for dying
let the living excite the day

Premium Member While Watching Whales Sleep

I love watching whales sleep…it is one of nature’s wonderful adaptations…
how they’re able to sleep while floating in the water…in a kind of suspended animation.

I love how we are alike in many ways to our colossal companions of the deep…
but in particular…in the peaceful way our two species sleep.

Sleep is where our dreams come to life…where like a movie before us they stream…
I wonder while suspended in sleep…of what do whales dream?

Would we be surprised to discover…their dreams are similar to ours…
that they dream of a peaceful ocean…or what it’s like to touch the stars.

That they dream of floating carefree with a food supply that never ends
that they dream of moments from their past spent with family and friends…

When observing our two species…we don’t have to look very far
to see how truly similar we humans and whales are.

We are born, 
we eat, 
we breathe…
we love, 
we die…
we weep.
all things we realize we share…
while watching whales sleep.

The Alphanumeric Canopy

We exist for different purposes, perhaps 1 perhaps six
Forage food, mark trails and warnings of the enemy we echo
Sometimes, the unknown and uninvited guests, we query
Is our unison voice singular to a higher up?
Are our motions and interpretations of our universe just?
Maybe we will never know or we will find out in five

I imagine they are watching counting our progress, from the obsidian vastness, perhaps in series of five.
We assume their intelligence is higher, maybe of aeons six
Do they see us and think we are primitive just?
Or are they amazed by how far we seem to echo?
Our adaptations lead us on paths marked by contours going up
To search for meaning and ensure our surroundings we query

That one stridulation triggered a series we have to query.
Where it came from, why the palpitations of five?
Did wires that weren't supposed to touch there up?
It must have communicated something their six may not be our six.
We could try to mimic and that signal we echo
To the beyond and hope they understand us just

Up down we march to match our actions just
A rich medley, multi-terpene blend signals we are going to query
We march towards the stridulation, our sensilla seem to echo
A chain of unknowns multiplying in exponentials of six
The map we attempt to follow only goes up to five
We hope to convene the right message up

I'm sure the crows caught it, we felt the disturbance up
But that was not one of us just
Different temporal structures, I guess we close the voyage in six
Just for the moment as we recalibrate and make a new query
Signal predictability, yardstick useful for seconds five
To aid us try to understand the beyond that we echo

Our conquest to understand is only now an echo
The intensity we ought to have no longer stepped up
Hoping to cross paths again and know in five
What’s being said and signalled just
Atop a hill of questions we send out our last query
And hope the higher being catch it as we count to six

We map the numbers from six to five,
Hunting the crow's echo and cosmic query,
While up on the mound, we are just ants.
