"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,

like the U.S. Catholic Church
and many MainLine Protestant...

Faith In History Lessons
Patterns of phylogenic history
retell our creative creation story
as bicameral restoration
of Earth's nature-spirit ecology,
both Eastern karma
and Western co-redemptive grace.
Spiritual memory experience
of RNA
and later DNA developments
and traumatic extinctions,
positive great transitions
and double-negative traumas;
are exegetical rhythms
and sacred seasoned pattern...

Boundary Issues As Opportunities
I wonder if everyone
has a most dreaded dreamed
nightmare worst way
to conscientiously drop wrong dead.
Mine is claustrophobi-recallish buried
half alive at best is worse

Sacred Spacemaking
Dear Neighbors,
community co-investors,
sharing an outdoor green riverside Commons
and an indoor
historical CommonSpace
Both, and all, sacred
to panentheistic me
and probably more mundanely secular
to monoculturing LeftBrain dominant
verbally rationalistic
you
And yet, co-relational lives of thought
and feeling always matter
to cooperative
effective communication resilience

It is a strange dream

Irrational Numbers, With Lyrics
The number of folks sitting
on the back porch
waiting
for peace to strike,
like waiting for my garden to grow
without yet having planted it.
The number of people
noticing that chronic victims
suffer from critical victimization events,
minus the number who also...

Island Nations
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...

One way of seeing interdependent relationship
between human nature

spreading out across all unfrozen continents.

become reborn transformed immigrants,

Restoring Justified Designs
In restorative justice programs,
victims of trauma establish facilitated goals for healing.
Victims are our first clients of solidarity.
But, our clients work on actively responding to punishing loss,
to violence,
violations of what could be,
and should have been, peace.

Random Acts of Grace
I wonder if our reasons
for growing random acts of violence
are similar
to our dwindling random acts of reasoned healing,
kindness,
gratitude,
unrequited love,
uncommodified,
unconscripted,

uncontained
restoring cooperative ecopolitical relationships forward
not just because this is our right and healthy familial thing to do

Red Justice But Green Peace
HeteroSapiens have bipolar developed

The Playground Peacemaker
She knows what it means,

overpowering LeftWing ecofeminist invitations
to liberality of loyal transparency
