regarding this world's joy,
how everything...

Transcending Boundaries To Trash

Transcending boundaries to trash
transacts through vulnerabilities to crash
into compost cash.

curious listening to speak with old as young.
We carry less allegiance to romance of patriotic memory
than reciprocity through mutual matriotic mercies

Slice and Dicey Ecofeminists

We could invite many ways
to slice and dice the prism
EcoFeminist.

I first ran into this label
when spoken by a sexual advocate
in the early 70s
at the University of Michigan,
from the mouth of a transgendering ecofeminist
who felt more...

Neglecting Top and Bottom Lines

I worry we co-invest in big private and public corporate assault
on Earth,
on environmentalism,
on longer-term ecologic.

Really, honey?
That's too bad.
Why not also see long-term assault
as the unintended outcome of short-term neglect
of cooperative care-giving,
healthy nurturing behavior,
Golden Rule economic...

Healthy Change

I suppose a healthy Taoist
is a wealthy Change artist,
designer
researcher,
mediator,
facilitator,
mentor, 
resilient liver

Taoism,
like Zeroism,
and Universal Unitarianism,
is a multiculturally principled path
toward restoring,
and resiliently retaining,
MotherEarth's natural
AND spiritual
empowerment

Still left-hemisphere deductively dominating verbal voices
in warm conversation with
EarthTribe's...

A lone voice whispers in 2025

I can see
All the way from in here

That the fate of the world is on a precarious knife-edge

The black-robed vultures
Are gathering 

In secret covens and lodges
For their Great Cull

Carefully planned and patiently waiting

On their gilded...
