Healthy Caring Systems
Too many times sadly
too seldom gladly
I must learn to trust
Earth's future more
Both Father Sun's timeless
rounds of enlightenment
and Mother Earth's
codependent rhythms
regenerating rich
empowering
soulful soil
and surfing seas
And this trusting more
impels healing trauma's lessons,
surviving hale and...

Prophets and Messiahs
The difference between
bad-old-boy
competitively evolving
egg white privilege
And good-girl
cooperatively revolutionary
just-us-yolks
Foreshadows a symbiotic contrast
between prophetic performance
and messianic practice,

in her Gospel of Permaculture class,
one Friday morning
while sitting on her crass
desk of...

Portraits of Racial Politics
“It is the custom of scholars when addressing behavior and culture to speak variously of anthropological explanations, psychological explanations, biological explanations, and other explanations appropriate to the perspectives of individual disciplines. I have argued that...

Naked Redmeat Emperors
RE: Continuing RedMeat Only,
much less any Green Leafy Salads
Abraham Lincoln thought it politically unhealthy,
and probably economically unwise,
to disinvest his Cabinet,
much less his entire Constitutionally incorporated population,
from ecopolitical diversity.
What is politically healthy,
probably not an all RedMeat...

Positive Political Psychology
I question my own interplay of psychology and political science.
Does this too facilely root analogy within ecology of climate health v pathology?
Intersections of sociology and psychology are at least academically commonplace.
I have a friend with...

Calculating Costs of Hate Crimes
Wherein lies the great dividing moral distinction
between hate crimes of socioeconomic historic proportion
distorting multiculturally synergetic re-ligious communication,
out-glaring more mundane popularity of defiance crimes
against a more personal sacred nature?
Why is society's right to aggressively imprison unto...

Red and Blue Estrangered Families
Dear Siblings Three,
I was reading a story
in which some siblings became estranged
after their parents died,
while others moved toward greater solidarity.
This is a variation on a diaspora story.
But, here growing physical distance
is seen more as a...

EcoPolitics of Democratic Healthy Wealth
EcoPolitics intends to be culturally
and ecologically
normative,
improving in capacity to become historically descriptive
of healthy enlightened minds
in organically
and environmentally safe
empowered bodies.
Politics is about the effectiveness of power
in anthropological relationships.
Economics is about efficient financial resilience,
sustainable consilience

Manic Depressive Climates
Depression is like dying
without hope this process will end well,
without remediation
at least not for my closely held ego-identity,
and despair
this turning inward
creates a cocoon by avoiding outward.
Focal awareness of ego mortality,
immanent and emanant,
eminent,
turns inward,
returns...

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...

Dorm Love
Ours was daily mysterious,
sometimes near mystical,
rapture;
a sensual yet platonic
dorm-mate love affair,
within the only male grad student corridor
at SFSU.
He was the presumably straight Vietnam veteran
southern white good ol' boy,
athletically studying Japanese,
with a gentle passion for...

Storm
The day was fine and sunlit,
Decorated by several clouds
drifting aimlessly in the radiant ocean-blue sky.
Chorused by gentle puffs of the morning breeze,
Sending leaves on the streets twirling like
ballerinas in a dazzling and mesmerising dance.

Civilizing Savages
I stumbled over Paul Tillich's translation
of the MessiahMentor's Other Great Commission.
The Great Commission we learned in Sunday School
was to go out and convert the barbarians
and savages to Christianity.

Through Thick and Thin
I think it might be John Rawls
who writes about
thick and thin justice sandwiches.
Thick justice
may be more deeply embedded, richly spread
in regenerative pursuing time,
producing and serving healthy wealth relationships,
often digestively motivated
to achieve nutritional communion goals,
While thinner...

Social and Antisocial Capital
Hybrids,
like a good creole stew,
are amazingly viral cooperators,
competitively so,
reacclimating tastes toward richer anticipations.
We have all heard of social capital
and natural capital,
of social democrats as antisocial plutocrats
and cooperatively-owned capitalist corporations,
including bipolar republics, perhaps.
These are all forms...

Empowering Passion
In passionate psychology,
powers of proactive compassion
are generally thought of in personal
and familial
interdependently relational
perspectives.
In political science,
large-scale powers for proactive compassion
resist reactive competition to merely overpower the opposition,
preferring pro-active energy for liberal love
constrains against investments in conserving...

I'm sure it was Rob Brezsny, again,
who first pointed out to me

begin with what nurturing health dynamics we...

Cooperative Powers
Power to condemn others, and oneself,
is weaker than power to help others, as oneself.
Power to destroy others, and oneself,
is lesser than power to regenerate others, and oneself,
interdependently.
Powers of fear and anger management,
with terrifying consequences...

If I Understand It
If I understand correctly,
and this seems infinitesimally likely,
which is nearly infinitely unlikely,
but anyway,
If we do think bilaterally,
then we have regular imagined

reweaving and unweaving,
diversity through spacetime,
and then we also have RealTime 4D diversity,
and also perversity,

The Permacultural Brain Surgeons
Honey,

A New Dawn
Theoretical abstractions,
reductive hard word choices,
to describe and prescribe spiritual experiences

which is probably LeftBrain patriarchally dominant.

We Have Questions
I hear we have questions, like
Does peaceful reality exist?
And yet no one seems to question
that disconnected unreality is, rather vaguely,
what does not exist
nor could it
as absence of confluent reality is not explicitly perceptible
