Long Internalized Poems

The title of this talk today,
"Win-Win Politics of New Feminist Economics"
suggests questions,
more than emasculating 
definitively deductive
reductive
answers.

Would you imagine
a minority-identified Buddhist,
more likely as a feminist?
or culturally comfortable
with political and economic Left-brain domination,
monotheistic competing for all-consuming
ritualistic servicing?

The organic building of a coordinated artist
begins with reconstructing competitively clumsy LeftBrain technicians.

or learning to communicate in some new language
or learning to adopt,

Says Csikszentmihalyi,
"Social scientists
(Abraham Maslow, Lawrence Kohlberg, Jane Loevinger, [Ken Wilber, Edward Podvoll, Julian Jaynes, Jack Kornfield, Richard Dawkins, Clare Graves, Carl Jung] and James Fowler)
describe a dialectical motion
between [Yang-ego-form] differentiation
and [Yin-eco-logical function] integration,
between turning attention...

What words do we choose for maximizing our ultimate accomplishments,

Dear Neighbors,
community co-investors,
sharing an outdoor green riverside Commons
and an indoor
historical CommonSpace

Both, and all, sacred

verbally rationalistic

And yet, co-relational lives of thought
and feeling always matter
to cooperative
effective communication resilience

Moods oscillate in cadences of peaks and valleys

When our religious practice
discipline
dogma
principles
values
unchanging tradition voices
erode out of line,
escape outside the box
within which lies our own spiritual experience,
our ego/eco-thermostatic re-acclimating memories,
of win/win cooperative
compassionately communing inter-relationships,
peak and everyday
ectosystemic elationships

Then our spiritual experience
has also been monoculturally segregated
divorced

I need to talk about addictions,
about my addiction issues,
and maybe yours.

Addiction gets a deserved bad rap
but that doesn't mean we have no more

the functional extended multigenerational

I'm still reading Your Resonant Self,
by Dr. Sarah Peyton,
speaking of how contempt
destroys relationships
formerly cooperative
and, thereby, healthy.

Disgust about oneself
and contempt against Other
are interrelated,
like ego and eco,
like Yang and Yin,

"Humans seem to be capable of disconnecting from...

I've noticed a new favorite word
in 2018
was "toxic."

And, in on-line discussions,
a newly invested discernment
of what it might fascist imply
to lead each white privileged day
with patriarchal narcissism.

Hillary,
unlike St. Hilary,
could stand iconic for matriarchal narcissism.
It exists, like...
