Multicolored Houses
I find multicultural capital investment
socially healthier
politically wealthier
than more win/lose capital competitions.
Sociologists
may call this deep social communication capital,
so why don't natural scientists
discover naturally cooperative capital investments
is a long-winded way
of winding around
recognizing
and appreciating,
not depreciating,
multiculturing health power?

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
correct indeed
said the nervous

your peak solidarity experience
joyfully shared
When you suggested
in a state-wide wisdom circle
that our cooperative advocacy
might feel more robust

local communities more intentionally share
our current municipal Trauma

I was listening to a Christian theologian friend of mine
speaking about the Messiah's,
and St. Paul's,
original intention when singing praises of God's here/not-here Kingdom,
and potential as a multiculturally inclusive Church,
as a countercultural extending family,

Unrepentant Privilege
"The simplicity
of total trust
is one of the most powerful forces
in the world."
Sogyal Rinpoche
The Rinpoche's faith
in radically democratic trust,
feels too wildly green-inclusive madness
to address the therapeutic mediator's,

and/or EarthCentered restorative justice student's

Bottoms Uprising
Nothing grows naturally
or resiliently,
and certainly not perfectly,
from the top down
or from the outside in
Including pyramids
and sustainable nutrition economies
and healthy
organic
democratic co-passion systems.
Some win/lose things
that do grow virally
from outside in
and/or over-powering
top down:
autocracy
cancer
kleptocracy
pyramid schemes
negative pathology
eco-political colonies
capital expansionism
invasive species

Once Upon Revolving Time
Once within recycling time

Paraclete, God's Justice Advocate
as Sophia,
Wisdom's Holonic CoOperative Spirit.

Safe Harbor
Safe Harbor
by Michael R. Burch
for Kevin N. Roberts
The sea at night seems
an alembic of dreams—
the moans of the gulls,
the foghorns’ bawlings.

to safe harbor...
