Be of Good, Compassionate Courage
Dandelions…

I am the scars minutes before the sunlit dawn...

Bipartisan Dissonance
When oppositional cognitive dissonance
deflects focus from compassion,
I've learned to go back to when I deflected focus from her.

bread crumbs leading back in time
to where she began to feel lonely,
marginalized,
siloed,
anxious,
neglected.

A Snow Queen Tale
Part 1: FORE SIBERIAN FATE
silk wings wet -
angel on the lake.
starlight glitter
separates from
the golden wheat.
her docile hair,
prophecy of ice.
winter pink,
pinched cheeks.
ice skate scrapes -
flecks of flakes.
the snow queen
before her relentless
reign, a pretty thing.
her smile warms

A Wisp of Thought
There was a glimpse of time unknown to man
The things none may ever describe
All wrapped within this wall of thoughts
For if a moment of my thoughts are clear
They are not my thoughts at all
Never again...

ComPassion's Braver Angels
Impressive values,
like love,
claim resources that liberally breed
ecological
natural
physically happy health
and conservatively feed
emotional

mentally glad wealth.
Oppressive disvalues
like homophobia and racism
and sexism and ageism
and ableism
and monoculturing disregard
for threats of global anthro-supremacist ecocide,
express what we are against
because these are...

Mobile In Alabama
Those were such happy days, for I had lately been deeded a farm,
My aunt and uncle were retiring, so tillage had lost its charm.
Since they were childless, and to a retirement community bound,
It seemed I...

I am a right-brain prominent writer

I became fascinated with my bilaterally transubstantiating internal conversation
about sufficient v necessary evidence

That communication's principles of co-empathic persuasion
were also healthy-positive psychology's research
on how to best regenerate...

Green Resilience Theory
I've been warmly remembering
your peak solidarity experience
joyfully shared
When you suggested
in a state-wide wisdom circle
that our cooperative advocacy
might feel more robust
and become more strategically
and resonantly effective
If and when

our current municipal Trauma

Outward slovenly appearance bespeaks volumes

Primal Questions
Do I want to only look at new ones,
never been used,
or is that a too restrictive market,
too competitively priced
