well within the bounds of my self-governing authority:

Polypathic Political Scientists
I have had a highly redundant,
one might even choose polypathic,
graduate studies experience
spanning my adult life to date.

Grand Mother Eartha's Dream
My husband and I always enjoy visiting
GrandMother Eartha
on Mother's Day
She often shares
last night's dreams,
which too often follow rather disturbing peak experience themes
Because,
you know,
or maybe not because,
how would I know?
Dreams about Her Straight White AlphaMale trauma

Starting With Beginnings

Let's start at the beginning
of your ecotherapeutic day.
I'm talking today with Fr. Time,
Earth's only fully self-ordained ecotherapist,

Pequot River Land Trust
Once,

maybe thrice,
surely not

A clan of crazy ecofeminists
conspired within an 88 unit residential castle

With a sometimes soggy south walled school,

Healing Systemic Trauma
Can you make any sense of
systemic racism?
No more common sensory sense than
too much patriarchalism--
all leftbrain-rightwing dominance
oppressing sacred Earth's
polyamorous win/win systems
promoting resiliently wealthy
resonant polyculturing health
Care given
as kind received
in fruitful wombs,
like apple cores in transition
from refuse
toward rebirth
Maybe...

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

empowering
soulful soil
and surfing seas
And this trusting more
impels healing trauma's lessons,
surviving hale and...

Bipartisan Dissonance
When oppositional cognitive dissonance
deflects focus from compassion,
I've learned to go back to when I deflected focus from her.
She sends me passive-aggressive messages,
bread crumbs leading back in time
to where she began to feel lonely,
marginalized,
siloed,
anxious,
neglected.

Hi.
We don't have a lot of time,

but I don't,
