Urbane History Lessons
I have a hardbound copy of
"The City of Hartford 1784-1984"
although most of this coffee table story
of unfortunate events
takes place between 1850 and 1950s,
before and after the UnCivil War,
and,
like the U.S. Catholic Church
and many MainLine Protestant...

Healthy Conversations
Life as active love
evolves toward more polycultural communication,
across both species and time,
within Earth’s Solar EcoSystemic Universe.
While this conversation includes human natured communicators,
we suboptimize our ecological balance
if endo-human discourse monopolizes our lifetime learning dialogue.
A life...

Victories For Love
The problem of military reactions
to territorial control issues
is not merely that violence breeds further strategic development
of violence,
although this is no small,
nor amoral,
concern.
This primal problem of militarism by historic default
is that it is an intrinsically...

People of Faith
It's hard to say where and when our town's People of Faith Cooperative started.
After all,
we have all emerged together,
and are still emerging
people of TaoGod,
right?
Our faith includes defining our still humanizing species
as among those not capable...

Cooperative Family Politics
I think he's talking about a cooperative bicameral political system,
with "How to talk to the other side".
And what could that possibly mean, dear Yang?
Well,
I was watching this Ted-talk from Marin,
by Robb Willer, as I anciently...

Social Nondarwinists
We need to talk.
Is this one of those times
where you need to talk
and I must pretend to listen
while you rant?
Well, yes,
if you could extend this favor.
Your topic?
Social Darwinism.
Isn't that the birthplace of unfettered Capitalism
and Fascism

Positive Political Psychology
I question my own interplay of psychology and political science.
Does this too facilely root analogy within ecology of climate health v pathology?
Intersections of sociology and psychology are at least academically commonplace.
I have a friend with...

Healthy Politics, and Sex, and Religion
I hope I know what is healthy sex,
in an experiential kind of way,
and a trans-biblical swell known sway,
and I can imagine a world with healthier,
more cooperative, politically empowering days,
but I am clueless about healthy religion,
which...

Perennial Problems
I suppose you might have missed out on Paul Feyerabend's,
and especially Thomas Kuhn's Problem of Incommensurabiity.
Oh, not at all.

or language
or even your attempts at communication
quite the same since...

Caregivers Among Us
To receive care
that best meets your needs,
and also,
by the way,
everyone else's too,
we look first
to where and when we have given such care
since our original longest reborn journey
down Mom's birth canal,
prepared just in time for our...

Calculating Costs of Hate Crimes
Wherein lies the great dividing moral distinction
between hate crimes of socioeconomic historic proportion
distorting multiculturally synergetic re-ligious communication,
out-glaring more mundane popularity of defiance crimes
against a more personal sacred nature?
Why is society's right to aggressively imprison unto...

Wise Elders
Wise Elders are patient,
fully embrace compassion's communication
and health care
of climates and cultural landscapes,
animated persons,
sacred spaces,
organic places,
panentheistic plants
and monotheistic planet
impassioned hopes
and pleasant dreams
rebuilding positive faith.
Wise Elders co-passionately listen
for karmic grace of love peaks
overflowing.
If Wise Revolutionaries...

Laundering Her Accounts
New England's late May sun was long up,
and yet her laundry began to unfold
and clip onto the droopy clothesline,
while yet to warm into 8 AM.
She wore a light spring jacket
and need not think long
about why...

Abnormaloriginals
Setting aside richly incorporated through homeless economies,
we have three political ways
to compare a population's internal status:
a. Aboriginal populations,
b. Immigrants--sometimes appearing as multiculturing creolic waves,
c. EmPowered Natives.
Natives are aboriginals
unless a more self-centered wave of supremacist immigrants

PolyMathic Revolution
Worth Two in a Buddha Universal Bush
Our permaculturist agenda,
primal principle of economic/ecological design,
is developing,
spreading,
hunting and stealing into fissures
fractally fracturing Business As Usual.
Nothing any one person or nation could do

can stop this...

Voting With Our Feet
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...

To Grow Peace
To faith communities

and sisterhoods
and sororities,
local non-profits
and friendly neighborhoods,
mediators
and counselors,
cooperative associations,
trauma-informed learning theorists

Do not deceive yourselves.
Continuing to gaze and daze
on a monotonous monocultural path
Disassociating

The Mask of Labradorite

Greengay Advocate
When I was about twelve

overpoweringly sublime advocate for justice
as global peace outcomed and measured,
As a courtroom drama officer

A flaring hot attorney

Practicing Positive Psychology
Today we hear Positive Psychology is hot.
To not agree is to be both negative,
and a snot;
too cognitively dissonant
arrogant
and dino-snore-a-lot.

for the thousandth time,
"You never listen to me"
you have been invited to...
