Long Mutually exclusive Poems

Difference between
Who am I?
and
What am I for?
What is my purpose,
healthy meaning,
resonant ethology,
theological vocation,
ecological therapeutic avocation?

Cannot outshine similarities
for RightBrain's sacred WiseElder capacity
sufficiency
with holding these two,
What next comes?
and Why EarthLife past?
inductively together
as co-defining,
refining Here-With-Now

Who have we been

Oh my.
Oh no.
Oh goodness no!
You.
How I dread (and long for) your familiar gaze –
how it haunts me!
I know it as well I know my own tail;
my own nose; my own hole!

You with your sleek, silver...

If everything is infinite,
And space goes on and on,
Then why will our reality,
One day, simply be gone?

In an infinite paradigm,
Should finite things exist?
They’re mutually exclusive,
Opposites on that list.

And yet, the laws that we perceive,
Are finite...

A highway to heaven
They who created him above
Claim to have
Despite their hands
Washed in the blood of all who oppose
Their reverential unchanging dogma

Centuries of blinding
Those that willingly believe
Has embolden those that
Profess to know the
Secrets of life...

The Dream

In a dream I talk to a young man in his prime,
A bit of a wandering missionary type
Eager to engage in spiritual dialogue,
And he asks if I’ve ever...

Good Night Irene, Sweet Dreams 

We live in a time of two competing visions;
The creation myths of sudden and gradual change,
Or monotheism’s creationism on one hand
And scientific materialism’s evolution the other.

Both...

I awake again with this left-brain thought
that an economic conservative
about balancing his ever expanding budget
looks at my mountainside forest of firs
as a green commodity
for potential exploitation.

Yet when this same conservative
resides in this same fir forest,
now...

Why, as we grow older
do we lose the innocence of youth
are ageing and innocence mutually exclusive
is it because innocence affords us no protection
leaving us defenceless
easy victims
and so we abandon it
as we come to know the...

...I see people who celebrate
power only for its own sake,
who see tradition not as wisdom,
but just as something they should break,
who strip stories off all their heart,
replace that heart with talking points,
and when faced with...

there are those who frown upon talk of the political
as if power struggles in their own lives simply did not exist---
they act as if the political only dealt with those vultures in suits 
whose talking...

Attention, all you men and ladies:
Hurry - here’s your chance
To get your very own Mercedes;
See how it enchants!

Take a look – it’s sleek, not bruised;
Its body we have honed.
Who told you that this car was...

I dream in the morning
As lowly constructs constrain at night
Coercing my memory:
Death's cousin makes me their dancing fool

As a child, I had nightmares and thieves--
They indulged their appetites from my solace
Now, I only dream in...

Stopped off for eggs 
with ham(thought about keeping kosher for a while)
   Have to say the ham was tasty!
Came up into the ESL Lab
My supervisor said he likes his 
   councilman

My love.
Your words, last ones,
echo in my head today:
“I think the difference is 
you’ve made your peace with it.”

And then.
9 months later, in my dreams,
a different sentiment was
voiced from your lips:
“I feel there’s a little...
