In a sense
each person capable of understanding these words
and those who speak diverse languages together
are island nations
splitting in two
by love
or fear
or both.

I have been concerned about the U.S. island of fundamentalist Christians,
formerly part of the...

SCANTILY-CLAD in the GARDEN of S W EDEN

Here I stand, all alone, scantily-clad in the garden of S W EDEN.
Wondering if the Original Garden still remains untilled and uneven.
Wondering how that Serpent knew of the...

All my favorite on-line EarthJustice
and Transformation
and Compassion
and Global Peace resources
are scientifically
and inter-religiously sure
we have all the information

community advisory board gathering

in a state-wide wisdom circle
that our cooperative advocacy
might feel more robust
and become more strategically
and resonantly effective
If and when
local communities more intentionally share
our current municipal Trauma

Deva Ossig, the landlady (and property owner) turned rogue

Just a couple weeks shy 
and seven years ago to the day,
I still remember contractual obligations

I find at least one difference
between owning water and energy outright
and co-owning water and energy delivery systems,
transport infrastructures.

The latter is cooperatively optimal.
The former is resiliently impossible,
unsustainable hubris.

I also find it not necessarily true
that colonization can...

RE: Cooperative HealthCare Development

Dear Neighbors, Community Civic Civilians:

Curious about win/win economic and political games
co-investing and co-empowering

Past
and present
and healthy regenerative future civilizations,
civil rights 
and civic-recentering
curiously interdependent,

Both analogically Either/Or RightWing dominant
and metaphorically Both/And LeftWing prominent

I was listening to our Commissioner
of Economic and Community Development
speak of how happy she is
our State and Federal tax revenues

In ecstatic climaxing designs
for healthy multicultural communications
ecopolitically correcting
currently imbalanced

disempowering outcomes

Our most resiliently robust productions

Resilient democracy 
co-invested in green peace
repurposing relationships for mutual equity,
co-empathic integrity,
win/win cooperativity.

This NonZero HomeZone
is our most...

Potential I Presume More Limericks

Big and tremendous come to mind.

Tremendous, stupendous, upend us.
Gargantuan, passion, trashing.
Immensive, aggressive, sensitive.   
Ultimate Utmost, out grossed, horrible host.
Pittance, sentence, repentance.
In effect essential, provocative, potential, quite intentional.
Necessity, complexity, anxiety.
Court Municipal, Peter Principle,...

(Where the streets are full of pity)

Last night! I met an old boxer
in an alley of cardboard;
he seemed glad to see me,
shouted me over for a fight!
I told him!
“Hey I’m not in your league”
“Young man.”...

I can’t walk out on this feeling,
The fat lady has just about sung the

Like a fuzzy scalpel, cutting and...
