Long Cognize Poems

I'm not much of a writer,
more of an activist,
a doer,
timeless doing.

Anyway, my Yang side,
which you AnthroTribes might re-cognize as EcoJustice,
emerges from my PositiveYang/NotNegativeYin 
Win/Win Balancing 
compassionate/pleasant 
dialectically dipolar
co-binary appositional
positive/negative co-relational,
co-arising leftmind/rightbody hemispheres
of enbrightening light
and empowering...

I'm sure it was Rob Brezsny, again,
who first pointed out to me
that Western psychoanalysts give priority to pathologies within family relationships,
while Eastern analysts, more embedded in philosophies of interdependence,
begin with what nurturing health dynamics we...

I was interviewing ecotherapeutic health workers
and ran into one from the Conceptualist School
of Positive Psychology.

While this sounded quite abstractly wonderful,
I asked her for the elevator version.

"Ceptual" derives from "septum",
a (0)-centric bilateral neurosystemic boundary platform
for "conceptual"...

In Regenerative Design,
dialectical cooperative contrasts
need not also mean
suspiciously diabolical 
competitive win/lose opposition
to our own internal RightWing
self-righteously
kinda venomously professional
commodified LeftBrain dominant encultured
prejudiced inside privileged
ego-supremacist voices.

In Regenerative Communication,
sometimes questions
are expressed as peace-intended
hypothetical Truth Statements,
awaiting sacred polycultural transubstantiation
through...

BiPolarity
has been largely ignored
polarization,

Linear and stagnant hierarchies
peaking in well-capitalized severance
and sterile self-satiation

Use you
then leave you
win/lose planning
and worldview design
by non-feminists

Uninspired by EarthTribe's co-arising,
Both/And reconsidering
depolarizing
dipolarization

Bruised blue traumatic,
and green grown therapeutic
sides of each red coin's
capitalization

Of Left hemisphere's newer
monotheistic...

Dregs and tumors of decay
co-arise therapies 
for humoring healthy
wealthy life.

Those who stand on tiptoe do not stand firm;
Those who stand with equal weight,
bipedal-planted, do stand resiliently firm.

Those who strain their leftbrain stride 
do not walk...

"The simplicity
of total trust
is one of the most powerful forces
in the world."
Sogyal Rinpoche

The Rinpoche's faith 
in radically democratic trust,
feels too wildly green-inclusive madness
to address the therapeutic mediator's,
and/or non-violent communication mentor's,
and/or EarthCentered restorative justice student's 
non-elite,...

As I look out at the streets,
I feel the chains around doesn’t set me free
I don’t realize what is it burning inside,
But that’s something like a fire inside me.

I feel my adrenaline pumping, emotions pouring...

As dawn it roosts, to the early lids of my opened eyes,
Never ever has been a happy feeling pleasant comprise.
Quinquennium back I can clearly remember,
The morning’s plea scalds my thoughts like burning ember.

Multihued lights flash fervently,
On naked illusion draped eyes zealously,
All shut and secured to colored vision,
Egoist blurry brain images, these are all in an intangible prison.

Some call me quirk, some foible, but all refer me to...

In times like these we cannot
presume everything to be normal..
As the fresh norms have been evolved
We need to be submissive and co-operative.
Please don't fall prey to the mysterious virus.

Amidst the tempestuous waters and dreams
Some argue we are all linked by similar streams
Yet, I disagree, as countless distinct ships,
Cross those raging waters, reaching for grips.

Attestive people travel on ocean vessels
In terms of style and...

Guardians of secrets—protectors of all

A haven of serenity—where spirits can fly

Than a ghostly whip touched my back, it was the head,
Which dragged me down here. Thinking nothing, I fled.
At least I tried, but was caught in it’s domain, it’s lair,
It was non other than Lucifer,...

In an era where horror dwells supreme.
Where ignorance and cynicism coincide.
We must share our thoughts as a team. 
Climb with kindness—with purity not collide.

A requiem—for a dying Earth

A day without you—my heart overwhelmed.

An apt gift of presence empowers
as an unanticipated
unearned warning misfortune
enlightens apt rapt resilient fortune,

Delighted with discovering,
perhaps rediscovering?
healthy passions I would never have been wise enough
to look up for
nor hunt down.

Timing
is everything.

Time regenerates everywhere,
erupts every when

My mind in pursuit of love,
Yearned to seek the truth;
Watched each star,
Seeking beacon from the sun;
She too joined me,
After a little bit gossip,
We straight way came to topic,
Is love not an attraction?
Then what is love?
She...

apodictic vinculum

wandering of wispy whooshes
wrapping wisps of weird warbles
shrivel olive trees

drenched in sweat
summoned by chimera

title assertion? 

baud pace of rimless dreams
