Long Immanently Poems

While a part of my soul longs,
To be carried away,
Far far,
From myself,
To another world,
To a mountain top,
To a lonely place,
To where the air is thin and light,
To where sensations stop,
To where feelings end,
To where noise...

An important difference
between climate health (win/lose toward win/win thrivalist)
and climate pathology (win/lose toward lose/lose non-survivalist)
is a discerning capacity
to invite slow-reweaving 
deep sacred learning relationships
Rather than further incite fast-unraveling shallow unrelationship
between ego-nature secularity
and Earth-nature immanently-sacred identity
and...

Thanks so much for forwarding
these John Paul Lederach stories
of un-learning academic approaches
to peace mediation.

I wonder if you remembered
my ongoing certification process
for justice-restoring mediation
in complex multicultural conflicting histories;
which are typically antithetical to resilient peace
through ongoing safe...

If it's not organic
it's not sexy
and probably not all that funny
either.

If it's up and down bipolar movement
with your arms and legs,
it's Yang male energy,
and potentially horned up
and/or out.

If it's side to side dipolar,
it's Yin synergy,

Life seems
at times,
sometimes chronically usual
and sometimes more critically unusual,
Life seems to see a too large familial
and/or global space
between Winning outside less
and not Losing inside more,

Life unfolds feelings
differentiating between usually 
and just sometimes
would be a healthier...

They always made me happy, 
The camels of the wise men, 
The slowness of their footsteps, 
Their self-sufficient ben. 

Camels meant there was time, 
For the three wise men to think, 
To ponder upon their...

In our scientific
secular
sometimes ecological
paradigms

We speak
and feel monocultural solitude
versus polycultural amplitude

Colonizing internal dry complexities
versus creolizing moist outside chaos
decomposing uncreative tensions
lack of creative intentions

Meanwhile,
within our gospel choirs
sacred
systematically theological
polytheistic 
and polyphonic 
transubstantiating polynomially 
equipoised poetic
polytheistic paradigms
expressing timeless robust...

No one speaks of Rapture
anymore

What could one say
short of singing
and dancing
graceful tandem play?

Even evangelists
seem less sure
Rapture is a grace-filled promise
of reward for virtue
and not merely a hell-fire threat
to punish capital idolatry,
greedy sophistry

Wondering whether global Rapture
is...

I remember,
back in early pre-colonial days,
when promise
and purposes
of prosperity,
well-being,
safe wealthy health care
assumed universal EarthTribal goals

For uniting spiritual
mental health
including natural
embodied wealth
for all organic
and mineral
and bone
and teeth
and nails
and hearts
and guts
and root chakras
of woody plants
and patriarchal people
on EarthTribe's...

I suspect many of us,
if not all,
with a mindful of bodhisattva
positive deviant parented and educated exceptions,
grow up feeling like a human win/lose sinner
fighting against a divine win/win messiah within,

Internally conflicted
about being sent from past sacred...

TWO WORLDS MANIPULATED

During this stage of development, I seek élan vital.
The creative principle that provides métier and impulse.
In that, the essence of the soul pursues her life choice.
Recourse is palpable.

The breeze was so relaxing that...

Faithful relationships
with Earth and me,
of we within Earth's natural body
of work and play,
silence and voices,
hunger and thirsty choices,

Right Enlightenment connection
often reflected Transcendentally,
light of healthy humane nature
to co-arise within immanent

sappy
sexual

predators co-gravitating
prey within

Eat and be eaten.

Secular silence,
still as death.
Sacred silence,
subtle sounds of Earth's synergy

And what vast sounds,
unheard voices,
unloved songs,
unjustified dances,
unpeaced anthems,
unbeautified pose of light
may lie in waiting silence
between invitation
and deadening declaration?

Invasions of deadly silent waiting,
Sublimations of lively unvoiced surrender
into softbound...

Purely innocent
Completely tolerant
Unconditionally loving
Totally understanding
Overtly gullible
Unobtrusively humble

Ever committed
Naturally obligated

All definitions read but not hold good,
For, being good is definitely...
