Premium Member Life's Ups and Downs

Families
and communities,
hopefully becoming like extending families,
and that would make them some form of faith communities,
relying exclusively on top-down authorities
to empower today
and tomorrow's cooperative faithfulness
to ourselves
to each other
to Earth
to the Universe, perhaps,
are also families and communities
under-invested
suboptimizing
bottom-up maturing co-empathic responsibilities
to learn nutritional elements
and synergetic trends we democratically trust
and multiculturally feel
for their optimizing wealth of health potential.

And, those other darker
not clearly articulating our Golden Ruling DNA-RNA heritage,
and those clearly distrusted
as anathema growing trauma's immunities from growing healthy egos
and evolving nutritiously faithful communities
and Earth's regenerative spiral trends,
bilaterally co-arising
ego/eco consciousness of Earth
as sacramental cooperative fulfillment
further seeking positive faithful WWW promise,
Win self-economics
Win Other ecologics
Win Earth ecosystemic
organic spacetime
0-soul co-investing moments.

What cooperative fulfilling authority goes down
equivalently invites and resonates with
co-empathic promising responsibilities
emerging from below shared daydreams,
not nightmares,
rising synergetically up.

Climates of health recycling down
so landscapes of wealthy global democracy
rise revolutionary
and sacramentally
and cooperatively
organically up.

Earth's changing from above climate
seeps up and sweeps down
into each community's communicating climates
ectosymbiotic and endosymbiotic
creolizing and transubstantiating
into and around
each individual's internal climates
of organically faithful experience
and desecrating despair, dismay, competing dissonances,
and, so, thereby,
sacredly vice versa,
preferably more actively cooperative Win+Win
than reactively competitive Win v Lose
capitalistic and patriarchal 
over-extended 
and extractive
gamesmanship.

Families
as organic communities
cooperate best both sweeping up
and seeping sacredly down together
of and for tomorrow's greatest polyamorous faithfulness,
and minimal monoculturing 
climates of despair.


Transformed By Willingness

I've been transformed by willingness, and a desire 
to move forward without keeping sad things in mind.


Confident to smile with surprise and allowing love to flow in;
faces don't avoid my glances that were unfriendly and sullen.  


Something that happens unexpectadly can give someone an unusual thrill; 
I distrusted people who were different from me...having no character, no will.   


Followed by my shadow, fear captured me to create unnecessary fright;
my room became my habitat and escape from a society claiming their plight.


With no friends to meet at cafes and local restaurants, I closed my windows,
prohibiting a glint of sunshine...assuming it wasn't meant for me, but for others. 


Glued to a wide screen, watching documentaries of tragedies and unaviodable fates;
empathizing with them, and yet convinced that I shouldn't have been grabbing at straws. 


Hackneyed words came out of my mouth, a habitue' of negative and dubitable thoughts;
and filled with their drudgery,I stopped listening to positive folks, thus, doubling my loads.


How can one be transformed by willingness? Discard the habits that amount to nothing; 
find the source of your uselessness, and be inspired by all who have achieved their goal.

Premium Member Tommy Grandma and Halloween

Tommy, my quintessential favorite black cat loved Halloween
we stayed inside to watch trick-or-treaters through a screen
Tommy loved to go outside but on that night, we stayed in
he was not eager to see all of the strangers dressed in a whim

he was a one-woman cat, scarecrows and skulls amused him
He liked seeing lights that lit up by sensors scaring kids to their brim
when children screamed, he would hide under the couch or bed
he distrusted people he did not think were right in the head

He seemed to have a fancy for older folks, liked them a lot
my grandmother always brought him a treat from her pot
something with tuna, salmon, or some other kind of fish
She presented it with a flourish, and he gave his tail a swish

They were happy with each other, Tommy and my Grandma Fay
Halloween night was not a time we saw her though, she stayed away
She was not fond of children’s screams any more than Tommy she said.
I was glad, because she was corpulent, and could not fit under my bed.

The Sandal Tree

To hold, as 'twere, the mirror up to nature
In an enchanting garden
Stood a slim sandal tree
With delicate branches
Reaching towards the sky
Wind rustled thru it
To carry its perfume
On her wings 
Far and wide
Birds nestled among
The pretty leaves
To live their lives
In happiness and peace
Near its roots 
Lived a big black asp
Distrusted by all
Alone in its misery
He slithered up the sandal
And wrapped around
Its perfumed trunk
And closed its eyes
For many days
He stayed like that
In hope to take
A little perfume from the tree
No matter how much
He tried and tried
But could not get
The delicate aroma
Nor would the 
Gentle sandal tree
Get the poison
From its body
Hunger made him leave
And all let out a sigh
For again the sandal
Stood erect to
Spread its perfume
Far and wide
On the wings of wind

Premium Member Permitting Omitted Commissions

In all things, give thanks.

Surrounded,
overwhelmed by disassociating depression,
learn gratitude.

Gratitude, a sacred noun,
positive attitude, a secular verb phrase.

Depression and gratitude,
depressed impress.
Impossibly essential
potential.

Suppression and hope.
Hope in and through 
blind and deaf as faith,
senseless passion dispowering position
over doubling down negative consequences
co-arising dissonant experience
with resonant resolutions.

Repressing naked clarity,
dualdark yet light-squared
and cubed
in fractal dialects
of holy, trauma,
sacred enslavement,
immortal despair.

Desecrated Earth
by commodified inhumanity,
capitalized corporate stricture,
giving thanks
for dawn's promised dusk.

Within,
above,
below all,
giving thanks without receiving praise,
re-acclimating gratitude,
humbling attitude.

Great commissions,
emissions,
omissions;
elevating attitudes
descending through our past.
Elevators rise to fall to rise
within great and small 
freedoms of commission.

Paradise fulfills embryonic passion
as pleasure grows roots in healthcare faith
emerging from fragile hope,
contagious absence of distrust's despair.

Desperation limns failed aspirations
lacking pathological denial,
returning Earth's holistic trust
with humanity's mistrust,
light squared lust
disturbing dualistic darkness.

Energy's massive capital,
our degenerating god
of depressing idolatry.

Craven subsidies
defy investments in future health
of divestments from past pathologies.

Information capitalizes derivatives of energy,
as exformation departs from pregnant entropy.

Great commissions 
of gratifying robust relationships
grow from small omissions 
of history's dissonant mistrust.

In all trusted passions
and distrusted pains, 
give thanks.

When I remember back through shared tree roots,
I recall before God could ever possibly become languaged as a Noun,
god must have been effectively nutritious nondual co-arising Nature's action,

Denouement

Greedy Leonore was despised, distrusted and unloved,
born with ugly futures, her life was a relentless torment;
she harbored rage for not being a stunning beauty.
sweetness lacked in her words immensely cold,
her youth was lived enjoying a deceitful moment;
she sold her abused body for pleasure and money.

Such a deabolic spirit expressed itself adequately
with a character fabricated by a desire for riches;
not even a queen possessed a wealth like hers,
how did Leonore acquire it if she was raised in rags?
This seems a fable, but in truth iit"s no mystery...
trace her footsteps, discover her many cunning ways.

Behind the scenes hides the malcontent Albert,
he hears her rehearsal and has reason to lament,
" I fell for Leonore, gave her everything I had;
I squandered fortunes to show her a dazzling world...
was she worthy of loving me or receiving a generosity
which has left me broke...making a living  so humbly? "

"Leonore, deceitful Leonore...your  envy of other women
who are gentlle and beautiful angers you to commit murder,
don't allow the insanity contaminate the blood in your veins;
I may be the last victim of a merciless and maddened mistress,
will others quickly fall for you and go insane with nothing to own?
Should I come forward and warn them of the unforeseen danger? "

My Spiritual Journey

I found a haven from a home 
Where the ever changing battles 
I could not win
In a group of amazing people 
That just so happened 
Belonged to a church
They never judged or 
Made me feel less because 
My clothes didn't come from the Gap
Soon enough I realized that this group was special 
When church after church turned their backs in disdain
My car was rusted 
My dress threadbare 
My mother crazy 
My offering not enough
As I grew older I stayed away 
From a religion that embodied hypocrisy 
How I abhor deceit 
My faith I still held even though 
I distrusted the institution that taught me
I felt in my heart that there must be some truth 
In the love Jesus spoke of 
With much conviction
I sometimes wondered if we read the same bible? 
Did they read how he washed the feet of Mary Magdalene?
Many years it would be 
Till like a thunderbolt I woke up and 
Saw the truth that had always been there
We are all connected every person, animal, tree, mountain 
And all the beautiful flowers
There's a rhythm and balance that can be found in nature 
We somehow lost while building nations
We should love and care for one another 
Not because we're told 
Because we want to
Understand we must stop warring 
And destroying this planet 
Because who's being destroyed is 
Us
Live in every moment 
Feel all your feelings 
Yesterday is gone 
Tomorrow is not certain
This is my truth it may not be yours 
I will respect what you believe
Please all I ask is the same

Premium Member I Was, But Now I Got Jesus

I was broken, busted and disgusted;
But now I got Jesus;
I got the fruit of the tree in my soul;
and He won't let me go...
I was, but Now I got love
I was, but Now I am His
I was, but now I got Jesus, and He freed us...

I was lost, tossed and distrusted;
But now I got Jesus;
I got the fruit of the tree in my soul;
and He won't let me go...
I was, but Now I got love
I was, but Now I am His
I was, but now I got Jesus, and He freed us...

now I got Jesus, I got the Lord;
now I got Jesus, this I am sure;

I was broken, busted and disgusted;
But now I got Jesus;
I got the fruit of the tree in my soul;
and He won't let me go...
I was, but Now I got love
I was, but Now I am His
I was, but now I got Jesus, and He freed us...

now I got Jesus, I got the Lord;
now I got Jesus, this I am sure;

I got the Lord, the Lord Jesus Christ in my life;
and He doesn't have to die for me twice;
For He's the one and only witness...
 With the fruit of the tree in my soul;

I was lost, tossed and distrusted;
But now I got Jesus;
I got the fruit of the tree in my soul;
and He won't let me go...
I was broken, busted and disgusted;

Premium Member Nondueling Conductors

A Straight
White
Elder Patriarch
came in to where I RightBrain sing
my Gay
White
EcoFeminist way

He seems to want to stay,
to overpower my say
and will to sing 
our musing pray

Because...
why?
I wonder what he feels
about me,
us,
about his own deep harmonic longing
to listen for our sung together feelings

Music therapy
composed of what we economically
and politically Trust,
wanting mutual
and actively co-invested 
full singing circle harmonic Wins right now
to Win more easily tomorrow's healthing way

And what might this PatriCapitalist feel
he does not want?
Perhaps less Win/Lose
ZeroSum individualized power and light assumptions
actively distrusted
settling for more traumatic apartheid,
denial of interdependently woven relationship,
nature v spirit non-indigenous dualism
divorced from my own prehistoric felt experience
longing to avoid further ***** nihilistic Lose/Lose
trauma
decay
pain
loss
degeneration.

Am I distracting
dissonant
too RightBrain gooey
for serious performance competition
with Your church choir's
true blue bought and sold
commodified liturgical purpose?

To put on a good LeftBrain entertaining show

Rituals about cooperatively enjoying
our win/win WholeEarth health-care receiving
and resilient wealth-care giving
by conducting bicamerally harmonic potential

For healthier democracies,
more cooperatively owned EarthPartnership,
more inclusive multicultural polypaths
for universally unitarian polyphonic 
constellations of integral systemic Voice

Yang yintegrally
WuWei
less Western sociopathic trauma
best forgiven through compassionate
indigenously polycultural
wellness sung and danced

Win health Voices 
to Win resilient wealth Choices
for green ego/ecosystemic leadership
 
Con-celebrating BlueSky/GreenEarth
light and power felt
warm harmonic need
for more and better
inter-religious
intersectional
interdependently reweaving 
healthy democratic communion

Which is what I need
and want to say
about how I seem to feel
when a Straight
White
Elder Patriarch
comes in to where I RightBrain sing
my Gay
Gospel
EcoFeminist way.
