Long Investor Poems

I am sorry
about my judgmental,
sadly disdainful,
tone
in earlier messages.

Even worse,
I remain embarrassed
for spreading it out
for key staff
and leaders
to well-positioned see
and hear
and feel,
touched by wounded toxicity.

My training 
and experience
includes victimized by homophobia
and healing through community mediation.

Within this...

Could what a political scientist would call
deeply held belief
also be what a psychologist could identify as a
feeling of affinity or aversion,
trust or distrust,
confluent familiarity or cognitive-affective dissonance?

"I deeply believe Testosterone Trump
is the logical conclusion
so richly...

Dear John,

All day
yesterday
I loaded up with a cascading river
of mixed anxiety and anticipation
about what to safely and kindly,
transparently and vulnerably
compassionately, so non-violently, share,
what to communicate;

Which narrative tributaries to choose
within this vast spacetime stream
of choices
directions
felt depressions...

It seemed to me,
when I was eight,
U.S. Christian disciples and teachers
had been given so much grace

And had fundamentally boiled it down
to settling for such small subcontinental WhitePatriarchal colonizing gratitude
for God's universally healthy
multicultural EarthTribes.

It was so...

Insufficient knowledge for fully comprehensive consciousness
is also
more than sufficient ignorance
of our individual and collective participation
in comprehensive disease, despair, degeneration, decay,
anger and fearful partisanship,
climatic cultural change
in both Interior and Exterior Landscapes.

So which do we continue to...

I was on my ambivalent fence
about who to watch watch the solar eclipse,
my alcoholic allies
or the designer THC corporate investors.

Wherever it was,
we read excerpts from two permaculture designers,
to get our minds ready for this great...

I finally finished retiring four years ago,
a process that started in my mid-fifties
due to late adopting kids with special needs,
including needs for me to be home
to personally walk them on,
harness them in,
and wheel them back...

"I do not see what right any one would have
to object to calling this part

What are some differences
between post-millennial Trumpism
and pre-millennial Republicanism?

I know...I know!
Republicans used to be fiscal conservatives
but now support a one trillion dollar deficit
per unaffordable health and safety care year,

Expanded deficit spending 
despite taking more from not...

In cooperative detective work,
including Earth scientific research,
we are told to follow the money
much more often
than feeling invited 
to follow the nutritional health investors
and the toxic pathological attackers

Whether our trail is a criminal
or political
economic impassioned journey

THE CITY AND THE STATE OF PLAY TODAY

No one worries about morals today 
They follow the rules they create
So to them all is ok
Those on the outside looking in 
Are the only ones feeling queasy...

I talk with indigenous treed elders;
Tell them about my distractions
divisions
severance in-between
secular and sacred beings,
between human nature and divine spirit,
between ecological relationship
and theological redemption.

Communing cultures
and structures
return a secularized version
of theological Earth/Heaven
humanely rooted
and divinely radiant
empowering
enlightening relationships

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

May 2024, when I decided to stay away,
To help keep my feelings at bay.
I found a piano at this place.
Started practicing, thinking of impressing someone.
Now, the friendship has long gone.
I continue to play the piano...

Tasty democratic roots
are made of trusted vines

Healthy democracy
does not chronically debate
to derail indigenous theocracy
nor diminish pursuit of individual liberty
to co-invest in political
and religious
and sexual powers
of cooperatively focused light
bright polyphonic harmony

But does compassionately refine
individual human freedoms

I visit the bug zapper on Tuesday
much to the radiology teams delight

I named it thus before meeting it formally
my comedic self puts up this type of dust

If you make fun of it enough
it can't cause...

I am the man that feeds the world

I went to the Hollywood studio meeting

Why do you do as you do
and not do as you don't say?

Never beyond distant shores is my Savior and Lord*
Who knows my best condition!
My soul He freed from hell’s eternal damnation

Making me a heaven-bound citizen with eternal life’s possession.

What do I mean
when I struggle to define my vocation
as a Climate Activist?

How am I anxious
and how might I more positively
anticipate?

An Activist,
hoping for resilient interrelationship
and resonant communication equity,
feedback and forth loops,
is, first, a listening contemplative,
Reflector,
Meditator,

I read Eisenstein's sacred economics
a year or two ago,
and it is one of the few I still remember
and often think about 
and long for.

This ecological

economic read
was my ego's cooperative investment
in TruthLeft with BeautyRight
Charles had paid-forward
