Open Oceans
"Open Oceans"
Kneeling on pearls
wisdom preys
praying
preying
hungry hearts
count the days
wasting away
in all that preying
for prayers
to be answered
children become
strangers
reading
strange words
finding
themselves puzzled
genuflecting to a deity
they do not know, nor wish to
fumbling
mouths closed,
swallowed hole

Free Verse ILozenge
by Michael R. Burch
When I was closest to love, it did not seem
real at all, but a thing of such tenuous sweetness
it might dissolve in my mouth
like a lozenge of sugar.
When I held you in...

Urbane History LessonsI have a hardbound copy of
"The City of Hartford 1784-1984"

of unfortunate events
takes place between 1850 and 1950s,

like the U.S. Catholic Church
and many MainLine Protestant...

Earthy EmpathyYou've heard that self-unfulfilling prophecy?
"I love humanity--
it's just people I can't stand."
I love healthy humanity--
it's just uppity and/or snooty people I can't stand
I love cooperative humanity--
it's just overly-competitive individuals I can't stand.
Not so distant from,

2020 RevolutionNumbers, numerals,
like words,
combinations of letters,
mean something,
sometimes more secular,
sometimes more sacred ecological.
Numerals and letters share sacred iconic human-intelligence root systems
within a bicameral ecology of mind-body nonduality,
both RightBrain matriarchal empowering flow of integrity (Czikszentmihalyi)
and LeftBrain patriarchal Yang...

A Few Years Back and ForthA few years back,
in the prior millennium,
1993 to be more precise
Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
born without a stage name
had his book entitled "The Evolving Self" published,
by which he meant The ReGeneratively Nutritious Flowing Self,
but he was probably shy...

Remembering Radical RelativesExplain your historical evolution radically, inclusively, expansively, good-humoredly;
not carefully, deductively, reductively, sarcastically.
We once had a school of thought
among up and coming geneticists and historians
that the precursor to the regeneration of a species,
or even an...

Life Through a Thousand DeathsHere life waits
with a thousand little discontinuous deaths, again,
right here in The Evolving Self's
sixth principle of preferable options for more humane revolutions
of evolution,
lurking behind Mihaly Csikzentmihalyi.

Keeping America SafeA prayer for God to bless NativeAmericans
is also a reminder of traditional political mindfulness,
basic awareness of our economic investments in security.
No one "keeps" this confederation of uniting states
safe with alien immigrants
unless we invite them.
Second, prayers...

Out For a SpinI take a four-fold spin

Faith In History LessonsPatterns of phylogenic history
retell our creative creation story
as bicameral restoration
of Earth's nature-spirit ecology,
both Eastern karma
and Western co-redemptive grace.
Spiritual memory experience
of RNA
and later DNA developments
and traumatic extinctions,
positive great transitions
and double-negative traumas;
are exegetical rhythms
and sacred seasoned pattern...

My Reproductive Rights AttorneyAn attorney friend of mine once said,
We have two opposing views
of the hows and whys of law and time and natural evolution,
including natural law,
and including U.S. Constitutional Law.
One assumes both natural and spiritual nondual legal...

Red and Blue Estrangered FamiliesDear Siblings Three,
I was reading a story
in which some siblings became estranged
after their parents died,
while others moved toward greater solidarity.
This is a variation on a diaspora story.

Bookish Menagerie: A Time Traveler's LibraryToddlers' Exploration:
Cardboard drum, a thunderous beast,
Playful roars in tiny fists and feasts.
Fleeting wings glide, dreams just out of reach,
Soaring through tales of barnyard Waddles and Squeaks,
Moo! Quack! Giggles tumble and bump.
Flaps flapping, bright colors...

Light On the Devil's Chord - Day 14Despite his impatience to show me his hell,

Hope For RespectMy thought for this day,
although still early,
is respect for hope.
Respect for our interdependence
and respect for our challenging differences,
important, yet hopefully not as powerful
as our interdependent love for healthy life.

Love Lesson PlanningFirst, imagine, if you can,

although it is that,
but behaviorists and existentialists behavioralize
the complex of emotions and consciousness
wearing that synergetic label
as active, sometimes spontaneous
"cooperation,"
an antonym for "competition."
Now,
Imagine you grew...
