Long Intergenerational Poems

A society
culture
religion
humane species
forgetting,
or more likely under-valuing,
how to regeneratively suffer loss
may never have learned to face our universal fear of death
as a badge of permaculturing respect,
dignity through suffering sacred absence
where once we knew nondual co-arising relational...

Let us,
for a heuristic historical moment,
pause...
create mental feeling embodied space,
for domestication as value neutral,
neither inherently good nor bad,
but more of a gradual evolutionary process
increasing mutual accessibility,
and therefore care-giving
and care-receiving vulnerability
to active daily trust and mistrust,
while...

Taoist Principle of Reversion
grows metasystemic decomposition
degeneration
reverse creation
organic time and memory moving backward toward rebirth
of a Paradise Pleasing Planet.

Reversion anticipates the Yin-reverse action 
of indigenously wise integrity.
Decompressing reimagination of effective/causal Time 
within organizing space and sacred...

And EveryBody to Play With

Cognitive maturation,
that portion of "please just grow up"
evolving climatically large transitional lifetime matters
of choosing to grow up,
to not just act as if I am an adult,
but to also know I am...

Patrick Deneen follows Tocqueville
speaking of risks to Western liberal democratic experiments,
great personal enlightenment adventures
seldom calm within a federating kettle
of competing selected fish,
and usually not cooperatively resilient
for health optimization
of local community peaceful resonant wealth.

In Tocqueville's time...

I was reading Lakoff's story
of what he learned at Berkeley
about international relations,
when I found my RightBrain offering further nuance;
not to deny what is here,
but to add what is also here,
but not explicitly stated,
about regenerative ecopolitical...

I think perhaps
The heart of a child really is
Heart shaped...

Like those on valentine cards,
Delicate and soft with seed pearls
dainty lace and fancy glittered
Ribbons, spilling over like happiness.

Yes, heart shaped,
You can tell by the sound of...

Reached the panicle of an older state;
faced body rugged, as stone or slate;
I must reiterate, I am not old, but great;
I'm imparting of an older state;
A family that no longer calls;
An aged person whom new...

grandpa use to sit in his rockin chair
I'd climb in his lap
both started to nod off
so we took a nap
he'd let me play in his bread
offend time he'll wake up
snorting, coughing, and showing
spitting hailing hands...

As ageing growing old;
It turns out, most grumpy stale people used to be grumpy young people;
This I believe it is so;
Ageing doesn’t turn a cheerful person into a grouch;
Now that I’m older I need to...

Yang+Yin optimal health economics
fueling wealthy cooperative politics

Leads to less survivalist
Yang v Yin
Also,
Yang x Yin
multiplies SunLight x EarthPower
cooperative empowerment
fuels enlightening reiterations,
integrations,
creolizations

As Yang/Yin divides
separates
disintegrates otherwise win/win 
healthy systems.

So, just a quick restorative justice question--

Let's imagine a homeless...

My teeth are dull and dim shady yellow;
My bones squeak and pop;
When I walk I moan;
What is it, what is this all about?
Am I elderly?

My vision not to far;
I can see things up close;
When I...

Healthy robust empathy of embryos,
infants,
children
is recognized by its instinctive curiosity,
absence of well-articulated avoidance behaviors.
Absence of trust is learned
through parenting and schools and religions
and other educational influences,
as was our history of cooperative political ownership 
divorced from...
