Starting With Beginnings
Left:
Let's start at the beginning
of your ecotherapeutic day.
I'm talking today with Fr. Time,
Earth's only fully self-ordained ecotherapist,
and recently published author of
"Journals of MotherEarth."
We have no corporate sponsorships to report,
although we are for sale
especially if you're...

Our Earthcafe Coop
In one sense,
the Cafe CoOp
started as my therapeutic retirement dream.
But,
in quite another
the CoOp goes back to when I was eight,
and I thought,
assumed really,
everyone indulged in Thought Experiments
about what would my optimal Eden Paradise.

Reyinning Yang
Imagine,
said Yin to distraught Yang,
never able to get quite enough of himself,
never enough time to fully become his ego-potentiality
Imagine this day opens a new rhetorical event,
a new day of conversation between Ego
and those you live...

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...

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...

Perfect Love, Optimal Life
Perfect love is perfection,
it is rare,
if such love exists at all
it must thrive beyond boundaries of my own experience
either receiving,
or giving.
Could this perfection of synergetic harmony and confluence
we have grown to love as love itself
become...

Once Upon Healthy Time
Once within eternal time
of pre-LeftBrain domination,
I recall breathing in
EarthMother's richly hued nutrition,
and this Other inhaling me,
purging lungs of misperceptions
that I was Her
any more or less than S/he was me.
We owned this communion together,
sacred breath...

Racing Justice
"The way I see it,
we're all related."
said my EcoTherapist.
While DNA and RNA include infinite permutation possibilities,
their primal core functions suggest simple bipolar relationships
between who's inside and what's outside,
and who is dominant so the Other recessed,
perhaps...

Father Time's Surprising Taoist Intimations
Tell me,
Father Time,
if you would share this space
it would mean everything to me
to us, so kind
Choosing healthiest seasons
for your highest priority,
comprehensive
social-political-economic-cultural issues:
1. Chilling domestic economy
flat-line trends,
2. International peace intent
and springtime praxis,
3. Continuous...

Social and Antisocial Capital
Hybrids,
like a good creole stew,
are amazingly viral cooperators,
competitively so,
reacclimating tastes toward richer anticipations.
We have all heard of social capital
and natural capital,
of social democrats as antisocial plutocrats
and cooperatively-owned capitalist corporations,
including bipolar republics, perhaps.
These are all forms...

Creation of Needs
Sacred Time Seminary's Professor of Economics
began presenting CoReGenesis Theory:
Business as Usual economists
would say that milking machines
and bulldozers,
all technology
and information systems
have enriched time,
creating new goods and services
that did not exist in prior times.
On an ecologically profound...

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.
When your loved one tells you,
for the thousandth time,
"You never listen to me"
you have been invited to...

Robust Religious Freedoms
Congress shall make no laws respecting
[or disrespecting]
an establishment of religion,
or prohibiting free exercise
[orthodox praxis] thereof.
hmmm, who writes this stuff, anyway?
Religion and its healthy exercise
are exempt from acts of Congress.
What is this religion that needs freedom...

Dr Fuller's Unitarian Community
Let's start with one shared understanding:
life is a more dynamically relational synonym for "nature".
So when we ask,
What is the purpose of life?
we are also asking,
What is nature's purpose?
which sounds similar to asking if evolution is...

Three Faces of Wisdom
I am reading minds and potentially wise political bodies
with Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, again.
He speaks of three interdependent aspects of wisdom.
The first is rooted in ecoconscious comprehension
of how and why knowledge, deductive information, facts, beliefs
may be both...

Therapeutic Balance
Dregs and tumors of decay
co-arise therapies
for humoring healthy
wealthy life.
Those who stand on tiptoe do not stand firm;
Those who stand with equal weight,
bipedal-planted, do stand resiliently firm.
Those who strain their leftbrain stride
do not walk...

Non-Rocket Science
When I was an undergraduate
in Michigan
I became fascinated with my bilaterally transubstantiating internal conversation
about sufficient v necessary evidence
for thought v feeling experience
That communication's principles of co-empathic persuasion
were also healthy-positive psychology's research
on how to best regenerate...

Wilderness Behaviors
It's not that I mistrust you,
though sometimes I feel I must distrust
either me or you.
I ambivalently choose both.
So yes, of course, this is about your behaviors
in trust-relationship with mine,
aggressive and impulsive.
Behaviors of addiction

Eye Contact
What is love?
A sea of nonexistence
both tranquil and calamitous
where the mind
does not dare enter.
(Rumi, M. Mafi, "Day By Day", p. 120, 2014, Hampton Roads)
What is timeless synergy?
Our sea of coexistence
both confluent and dissonant
where blind consciousness

Small Powers Everywhere
This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
Wide and longing
for committed dialogue
not surrounded
by elitist debate,
Win/lose games,
Zero-sum asinine assumptions
requiring ego-infested shadows
Resisting win/win opportunities
of healthy
democratic dialogue
Between constituencies,
residents sufficiently humble
to become students together
and unschooled
unprofessional parents
and not...

It Seems To Me
History unfolds reflective evolution
as culture nutrition values inform economic health.
Just as currency only carries values humans supply
as a society of economic transactors
so my own paltry sums can only carry those values
I am willing to re-invest...

Time begat space,

negative-squared begat positive,
ionic waves begat radiant sprays,

Consumption begat production,
parasites begat Hosts,
electrons begat protons,
as monoculture begat polycultures.
Non-aversion begat co-arising prehension,

Heads Roll With Laughter
What to do,
how respond,
to totalitarian tyranny
in someone else's home
or community
or economy?
OK, good question,
I hope,
yet with ample precedent
in polycultural battles to attain harmonious balance
where we have become monopolistically lost.
What do you do,
how respond,
to monocultural stimuli
advancing in...

Let My People Shine
At sixteen
People's Bible Church
sent me from rural Michigan farm lands
to Moody Bible Institute
in siren-screaming Chicago
Church fathers assumed,
despite curious evidence to the contrary,
that I was a StraightWhiteMale
born-again
wanna be choir director
Because I could sing with gospel appeal
