Premium Member Grandeur of Fall

 

"Every leaf speaks bliss to me
fluttering from the autumn tree."

                                Quote by _Emily Bronte


I love how each majestic tree will grow,
how each season is a moment in time;
and how each grand tree-  her hued colors show,
oh, sparrow's chirrup and on a branch chime.

The dappled leaves a painted veil above,
brimming with song birds singing so happy;
a solitary soul with trees I love,
gathering the gold-  squirrels are snappy.

There is no gloom in the grandeur of Fall,
oh, how the honey breath just reaches out;
but there is decaying of big and small,
on the ground red, gold jewels lay about.

Trees go to sleep to wake eternally;
but they still stand on guard externally.

Premium Member River Deep, Mountain High

How do we ever know whom we've come to know
All we see is their periphery, externally on show
But what resides from within, can be River Deep, Mountain High
With levels we can't seem to count, internally they cry

Internally they cry, into a world we can't comprehend
It's no wonder they appear like this, if me, I'd be round the bend
One minute their world seems so right, suddenly a darkness descends
All it took was explainable, but a different signal they send

A different signal they send, yet it's receiver appears to know
What was there originally no longer appears to show
Just like a pendulum swinging, to the left and to the right
No middle happy medium, for when it stops out goes their light

When it stops out goes their light, and a darkness descends
Maybe it's what they had become, driven round the bend

Premium Member Home Running Ego

Ego is the label psychology gives us
to describe our ecoconscious experiences,
those cooperatively-nutritionally sustaining climate health

internal and external climates and landscapes 
cultures and networks
primal relationships

and those competitively-toxically assaulting climate health,
internally and externally devolving

decaying RightBrain-Body feelings
and LeftBrain worded anthropocentric thoughts
of ego/eco-passions and dispassions

internal/external confluent
when not dissonant,
dissociated

When re-associated
without 'ego' off-centering preference,
without attachment to "independent" ego empire building

Non-0-sum 
nonverbal
non-violent
interdependent polypathic-polyvagal awareness,
internal ego-forming as externally eco-formed

beginning with Brain-Body formation,
empathic trust Crown dominant
within matriarchal Root nutritional paradise
of embryonic climate health.

EcoMother emerges Ego development 
through our Exodus from Eden's Genesis
 
birth canal emergence into Earth Tribe
regenerating/degenerating Earth's climate health/pathology.

Ego health begins and ends
enveloping healthy compassionate contentment
in our own interdependently languaged thoughts-with-feelings skin,
bicameral hearts,
bicameral brains,
polyvagal bodies,
Crown to Root spinal cords
neuro-sexsensory systems
living inside eco-sexsensory systems...

To grow a healthy Ego
is to become polypathically ecoconscious of climate therapies,
internal and external,
anthro/ecologically symbiotic.

Symbiotic relationship
is a term evolutionary theory gives us
to regenerate an organic theology 
of ego/eco transubstantiation

sacred ecological purpose
toward polyculturally interdependent robust climates 
of thriving democratic life-care systems.

Ego LeftBrain words and economic and political thought
and practice, practice, practice,
emerge from Elder RightBrain matriotic eco-consciousness
to become more cooperatively Animus/Anima grace-full

co-arising 
belonging-mind/safe-body 
consciousness.

Ego is a label for ecoconscious nurturing trust,
and lack thereof,
in regenerating compassionate economic and political experience,
and degenerative lack thereof.

Premium Member Do We Resemble Judas - Luke 22: 3

This is an awesome subject
so serious it must be taken so
as Judas was found out a betrayer
so any of us could receive such a blow
 
Are we good religious people?
so we go to church regularly and do pray
help all we see in many a need
read your Bible each and every day
 
We've a high position as church leaders
looking on people think we're morally true
baptised we are and regular at communion
all things externally expected we all do
 
Judas Iscariot fulfilled all of this
but still, he missed the mark
Satan entered into this professed disciple
showing he was still awfully dark
 
Sin and Satan must not be allowed
to enter us a little no not at all
we must keep ever close to Jesus
kill sin pursue righteousness keep on the ball
 
Think often of Judas how he fell
make this our life lesson not let Satan in
for he wishes to sift us like Judas
but Jesus is praying so we will win!


(Then Satan entered into Judas called Iscariot, who was of the number of the twelve.) Luke ch. 22 v. 3 (ESV)

Premium Member As We Pray In Unity

Clouds become the sky to see
Gray and white swirling above me
Thoughts change with things externally
In a world gripped by uncertainty
Where are the answers that seem to flee?
In a time we all need them desperately
I walk in familiar calmness to be
Ready for anything beyond each tree
In a nightmare it's hard to be happy
Dealing with deaths increasing daily
Others before us, lived horrific similarity
Maybe, we thought we'd always be free
But now, we wish for life, a simple bumblebee
To visit the yard and buzz around in glee
Something, anything, pieces of beauty
Heal us now, as we pray in unity!

Premium Member Rap: Rules of the Street

Internally unconventional, externally conform,
In the game of life, it's the norm.
Always watch yourself, like you're on a stage,
Avoid regrets, don't let your actions rage.

Bullies on the block, they don't care if you're nice,
Speak soft, carry a big stick, that's my advice
They don't care that you meant well, or how you feel
your weakness is the foe, your strength keeps it real.

[chorus]
you see the same rules on different scales
Where national policy spectacularly fails
you see in school and in the street
Details differ, same human flaws, they just repeat

Psychopaths and criminals, a mystery untold,
Their motives twisted, their stories cold.
Confronting bad men, assume the worst,
Act accordingly, before you're cursed.

Watch out for the idealist, promising revolution,
They'll manipulate your mind, cause confusion.
Destruction lurks in unseen directions,
Beware the traps, and their misdirections.

[chorus]
you see the same rules on different scales
Where national policy spectacularly fails
you see in school and in the street
Details differ, relax, take a seat, it's the same beat

No one's exempt from history's grip,
Great men's mistakes, we all might slip.
Bad organizations, breeding ground for sin,
Leaders rise, with darkness within

Beware the people with a disconnect
They preach one thing, but act incorrect
Activists on Indian land, claim they're green,
Leave trash all over, for natives to clean

Reading minds from faces, a futile endeavor,
Intentions hidden, like predicting the weather.
Don't make assumptions, from a two second look
It takes time for people to reveal the inner book.

Troubles compound, the more you go down
Gotta face the facts, can't get out of town
One trouble leads to more, it's a vicious path,
The worst it gets, the more they laugh

[chorus]
you see the same rules on different scales
Where national policy spectacularly fails
you see in school and in the street
Details differ, same human flaws, they just repeat

These rules of life, hard-earned and wise,
Navigate the world, with open eyes.
In the dance of existence, don't be naive,
Leave the matrix, take care what you believe.

Premium Member Now We Stand and Sulk


Now We Stand And Sulk


We were the two 
standoffish 
in a small pond.
One day, 
how I wished 
we got carried away,
to a rubbing 
of our fins and bellies, 
so fond.
Life would have smiled on good fate, 
a favorable life,
how my eyes belay.
Instead gloom frowned on and on,
off and off,
over and over.
At worst it brought me to her,
lost and lost.
When we did get carried away,
on a magic carpet, 
to aquarium land,
our tails touched briefly
to her indifference.
Bubbles shot to the surface,
hers,
big round ones,
made just for me.
I looked at her puffing lips,
bad,
"I hate you."
I look back,
my puffing lips,
bubbling,
to no effect,
"asking why."
She raced away.
See I told you.
Our life now a crayon box 
of pebbles, plastic seaweed,
my votive candles,
and unanswered prayers,
inside a glass box,
us,
swimming inharmonious.
Yet we're petted,
externally,
and not internally
to the puzzlement
of onlookers and me.
Each day passing by,
the two standoffish,
each immune,
to sitting together.

Premium Member Silent Opera

Notice
in silent anticipations
softening distinctions
empower fluidity,
blending Language
Culture
Communication,
symbol recreating systems.

Consider
how apparent differences
between discrete word choices
may also nonverbally spread
across indiscrete relationships
dividing and regathering
LeftBrain verbally dominant
embodied Natural
severed from abstract Spiritual

RightHand Body dominating communion
over RightMind wisdom communication

Where "RightBrain" sensation
flows information
non-segregation
celebration
from root-chakra throbbing Source
for making sacred sense
of metaphysical nonsensory distinctions

Nonverbal noticed communications
flow up to capital-headed eyes
centered right and left
in-between bicameral ears
and bilateral nostrils
and bipartisan sides
of internally/externally conflicted 
red health and green wealth
mouths

Disrespecting everyday lives
next door ins and outs
of sacred felt empowering
black rabbit holes
engaging verbally renouned
enlightening binomial poles.

I notice too
two sensory felt nondifferences
between responsible MotherTree Pride
of deep nurturing
mutually communing Meaning

And victimized minoriTrees
reacting in defense
against
LeftBrain verbal Othering
smothering
not bothering
blustering

Disabling win/win potential communication
and enlightened health-care language
and inclusive empowering enculturation

Which could more positively invite
mutual EarthTribe regard,
expressions,
full mind-bodied
spiritual natures
of indigenously felt 
compassion
beauty
integrity
dignity
serenity
curiosity
musicality
humanity

The NonOthering Side
for preventing pathology

Premium Member Safe Home

SafeHome is not so much a real place
as a destiny longed for
on our lifetime journey toward dynamic well-being,
too healthily robust to fear growing homeless and friendless.

SafeHome is not an unchanging Paradise,
statically without resonantly changing,
slow-turning nutritious seasons,
ups and downs,
ins and outs.

Such conservative stability, uniformity
could never be my red-blooded idea
of brilliantly resilient Heaven.

So, when Earth's climate pressures,
internally and externally competing
to my point of ego-aggression,
notice chronic stress climbing up my back
and shoulders,
brain stem and frontal cortex
concerned about politically left and personally unself-righteous depression,

When cynicism about never ever loving enough WinWin RealTimes
RealTalk
Real cooperative integrity walks 
into co-passioning solidarity,

Then my SafeHome destined child and parent voices
prefer WinWin economic ecological sanctuary
removed from WinLose habitual habitats,
dissonant stuckness
never ever feeling like healthy SafeHome resilience.

Homes resonantly sustained
First, by dynamic cooperative resonance
with all EarthTribes
occupying compassionate health vocational preoccupations

And, Second,
actively seeking sanctuaries cooperatively facilitating,
feeding,
watering,
fueling resilient multicultural nutritional development.

HealthyWealth SafeHomes
plant and harvest socially compassionate
interdependent health-resonant relationships,
polyculturally resilient,
spiritually and naturally polypathic, nonsectarian,
democratically positive energetic, dynamic systems
forming SafeWombed
flow-functions,
universal inside survivor memories
of cooperative sanctuary, originally outside warm wombs

From SafeWombs
emerge WinWin infants, then young and free children
who become WinWin parents and teachers and gratitude preachers,
eco-listeners and ego-speakers
longing for compassionately cooperative SafeHome returns,
pilgrimages toward universal solidarity,
unitarian SafeHome interdependence.

A long strong ZeroZone SafeHome
for robust reunification 
within EarthTribe graced communions, healthy
green cooperatives,
permaculturally wealthy
deep learning lifetimes
for green STEAM educational placements,
safe ZeroBalancing carbon-based residencies
in WinNature-WinSpirit learning civilizations.

MISFIT

MISFIT

"I have been a stranger in a strange land"

Today I am free, in a land that I recognise
Unlike that time in that very strange land
And as a stranger, almost all was a surprise
Everything so difficult for me to understand
Nothing of substance, and all was so bland
All around me would just a smile and nod
Comfortable with average, nothing grand
A society dedicated to quite another God

There was no one thing that I could despise
All would merely extend their empty hand
Just a blank stare and a dullness of the eyes
As if all was externally meticulously planned
And individuality or initiative was banned
My feet merely following where others trod
And warm tides left no footprints in the sand
A society dedicated to quite another God

None seemed concerned at how time flies
All the people were fit, healthy and tanned
Yet somehow it just felt like a clever disguise
And nobody was prepared to make a stand
Even the occasional laughter sounded canned
But every moment in that place felt so odd
Their symbols all looked like an ampersand
A society dedicated to quite another God

I refused to join in and wear that armband
As I wore a tattoo with the sign of the rod
As time wore on my distaste would expand
A society dedicated to quite another God
