Premium Member Green Democratic Empathy
I don't think it's just me.
I find myself challenged to change LeftBrain cognitive beliefs,
languaged abstractions of personal feelings,
perhaps because it is not possible to change Right Brain's
Elder feelings of co-passionate trust
where dipolar co-arising positive pleasure

Regret
by Michael R. Burch

Regret,
a bitter
ache to bear . . .

sometimes questions
are expressed as peace-intended
hypothetical Truth Statements,
awaiting sacred polycultural transubstantiation

Premium Member Positive Political Problems
My fundraising problem with positive psychology,
said the good health doctor,
it is too social science squishy,
not leftbrain dominant enough,

Suspiciously ecofeminist
for natural science pathologists
Straight-White privileged proctologists
urologists
bicamerally challenged cardiologists.

I must concede
not ecopolitically erect enough

Silently he sat in darkness, flinching at the sight of light.

His cold glare did not help my nerves, 
so I simply stood there observing his silence.
