Father Time's Interview
Hi.
We don't have a lot of time,
or, well, I guess you do,
but I don't,
so let's plunge right into the first big question:
Which came first, form or function?
False dichotomy. No such thing as a totally dysfunctional...

2020 Revolution
Numbers, numerals,
like words,
combinations of letters,
mean something,
sometimes more secular,
sometimes more sacred ecological.
Numerals and letters share sacred iconic human-intelligence root systems
within a bicameral ecology of mind-body nonduality,

and LeftBrain patriarchal Yang...

Badboy Monotheists
Where do we think all this economic and politically empowering
cooperative
nutritional
organically luscious imagination
and ecologically exegetical orthopraxis
started?

Watching Isms
There is a world of difference
between schism and jism,
but they both end up the same.
Just as patriarchal Roman Catholicism
overpowers living and breathing Christianity,
so too does Capitalism
overpower cooperative capital co-investment,
so too does autocratic rationalism
overpower syncretic enculturing...

When We Need Companionship
Insufficient knowledge for fully comprehensive consciousness
is also
more than sufficient ignorance
of our individual and collective participation
in comprehensive disease, despair, degeneration, decay,
anger and fearful partisanship,
climatic cultural change
in both Interior and Exterior Landscapes.
So which do we continue to...

Two Wrongs Against a Right
If your story
and history
or herstory,
is wrong,
If wrong is negative,
If right is positive,
When do two historic
two cultural
two personal
two political
two familial
wrongs make it right,
just as double negatives equal a positive?
Perhaps when this double-negative shy
not yang and not...

Things I Forget To Ask
What does it feel like to wake up into your skin?
Your day?
What do you feel first most days?
Is it in any way influenced by gratitude,
or totally given over to worry,
anxious
or, worse, anticipating
shortness of healthy...

Choosing Where To Hang Out
What lies between extremes of boredom and bliss
for you
and those you most love to work and hang with?
If your Business As Usual day
sends messages within
redundantly reiterating how life is always coming too fast
too needy
too deprived...

Futility of Contention

To preserve wholeness, mutually accommodate;
yielding preserves whole.

Sacramental Dialogue
Let's do a bit of sacramental gaming.
Oh no, Dear!
That smells and sounds coldly inappropriate.
What would your great-grandmother say?
OK, well...
how about a mutually refining discussion
about theological system development?
That might be alright,
although heavy.
But, don't you mean the...

A Year Ago
About a year ago,
as the COVID pandemic
seemed to subside,
then swell,
happily ebb
and yet impatiently flow
Again,
about a year ago
I was noticing cold autumn nights
bringing first frost
to my metal windowframes
and skeletal post-surgery-tired back
and neglected aging heart.
Outside corner unit...

Backyard Politics of Love, Etc
By now this self-analytical Left mindbody lens grows thin
imagining dualistic cultural dominance,
logically sciencing,
rationally defaulting to either-or assumptions
supposedly proving either x or y

fractally regenerative temporal health-balance

Biconic Language
Dispassion speaks as the child of reductive suffering.
Peace instinctively feels childlike kindness.
Contented,
content-full,
mindful therapeutic child of present identity's
contentious presence.
Yang's passion, without Yin's kind-mind
and pleasure-body,
necessary for comprehensive consciousness,
but not quite Yintegral enough
for resonating resilient
Peace, without suffering unresolved...

Climate Evolutions
First,
competing dominant patriarchs
become filled with climate toxic fear
about long-suffered win/lose evolutions
presuming Earth's great revolutionary Rapture.
Second,
hopeful matriarchs touch
and taste
and see
and hear win/lose suffering ecosystems
stubborn-headedly turning
to embrace western healthy aspirations in
with eastern wealthy respirations out
against nihilistic climate...

Imagine Recreating History
Imagine language iconically evolves
neurosystemic memory patterns
DNA polyvagal structure
revolving fractal memory stages
of perennially recycling development
recreating holonic-holy frequency functions
Unfolding minds
refolding bodies of regenerate patterns
encrypted through prefolding revolving flow,
nurturing re-membering strings
of neurosystemic win/win
ego/eco binomial health/wealth

Love Life
As I look and listen,
human lives explore individual purposes,
like making breakfast,
as divine love engages co-relational meaning,
like preparing nurturing gifts
of sacred EarthTribal communion.

and physical,
spiritual
and natural health care

and deepest
and widest

August Storm
It started the 8th of June
moving away from too familiar
into too alien,
finding no sane oasis between.
Vibrant greens relentlessly fade
to wilting monoculturing drought.
Brown patches emerge with dulled loss of inspiration
of what might have been a family

Embryonic Language
Wordsmithing and living
are like communicating and loving
through a camera lens
when you could just lay down your language-camera,
to step into face-to-face space,
rather than stepping aside from present co-arising,
co-relational empathic moments of opportunity
and co-gravitating issues,
to choose instead...

Adopting Adaptive Integrity
I could change my mind
about adopting you
no more than change my heart's content
about what is healthy
and what is diseased absence of integrity
and what lies somewhat uneasily in-between
within my contenting patient bicameral mind.

Another Storm
Another storm threatens to come in,
feeling my responsibility
for uncaring
and unresponsive history
Fearing you
more than loving us
Setting out your pails
and plastic tubs
to catch cold
and dreary drips
Impaled remembering
past wet enemies
becoming darker spots
as moist tears terrorize,
building mold untold
as yet...
