Enabled EmpathyIt's weird
and sometimes wild
living with a non-LeftBrain verbal dominant
aspiring child,
now young adult
I find myself waiting for him
to nonverbally connect
and correct me

of green longing for...

Empowering PassionIn passionate psychology,
powers of proactive compassion
are generally thought of in personal
and familial
interdependently relational
perspectives.
In political science,
large-scale powers for proactive compassion
resist reactive competition to merely overpower the opposition,

constrains against investments in conserving...

When Multiculturally PresidingAs no one
never said
about nothing,
"Calling in human health care options
might not imply
calling out
lack of Earth-wealthy choices."

Christian-Royalist monotheistic supremacy
