Kneeling on pearls
wisdom preys

preying
hungry hearts
count the days
wasting away
in all that preying
for prayers
to be answered
children become
strangers
reading
strange words
finding
themselves puzzled
genuflecting to a deity
they do not know, nor wish to
fumbling
mouths closed,
swallowed hole

Epic
Restoration TownsI was skeptically listening
to a retiring social researcher,
and problem-solving imaginer,
from the American Enterprise Institute;
An Institute
I usually find more destitute
of bicameral consciousness than not,
and thereby with less healthy resonant imagination
than more pathological dissonance.
But, I found...

Revolutionary StoryThey called their gang The ReVolutionaries,
my Father Sun and Mother Earth drew time with them,
but they often called themselves Yang and YinYin,
respectively and mutually respectful
yet privately erotic,
not so much politically and economically
where Yang could not...

EcclesiaAn old Greek word, ecclesia,
is often translated as church,
but could also be thought of as a civilization
acting civilly,
as a citizenry
acting as responsible citizens.
The noun side of Ecclesia
casts residents as consumers
of democratic and economic cooperative systems,
while...

Naked Redmeat EmperorsRE: Continuing RedMeat Only,
much less any Green Leafy Salads
Abraham Lincoln thought it politically unhealthy,
and probably economically unwise,
to disinvest his Cabinet,
much less his entire Constitutionally incorporated population,
from ecopolitical diversity.
What is politically healthy,
probably not an all RedMeat...

Remembering Radical RelativesExplain your historical evolution radically, inclusively, expansively, good-humoredly;
not carefully, deductively, reductively, sarcastically.
We once had a school of thought
among up and coming geneticists and historians
that the precursor to the regeneration of a species,
or even an...

Everyday ChristiansI would imagine Adam Smith's invisible cooperative economic
self-and-Other-investment hand,
at least during Christian Sunday morning services,
looked and sounded and felt very much
like the One Invisibly-Organic-Holistic-Enlightened MindBody of Christ.
I would further imagine
both he and George Washington,

Miracle of HypocrisyI was listening to Cornell West,
who described our catastrophic tolerance of disvalues for others,
situations we would never tolerate for ourselves,
disvalues like homelessness and hunger,
but also like random violence,
abuse and neglect,
lack of caring,
as a "conspiracy"...

After School Jam SessionHow was school today?
Fine.
Did you learn anything important?
Maybe. I'm not sure yet.
Really? What are you considering?
We talked about Howard Odum's natural trinity
of altruism.
Maybe I skipped that day
way back in premillennial times
before Permaculture Design had taken...

Christian Evangelical-Charismatic RepublicansI grew up with rural Michigan white red-neck evangelical root systems.
These did not always feed my multicultural self/other liberation of the GLBTQ subclimatic root system
for regeneratively healthy instincts,
yet I learned to survive within this fundamentalist-alien-straight...

Cooperative FeministasCooperative Feministas
are not quite so much Competitive Manifestos.
In David Holmgren's introduction to Permacultural Therapeutic Design,
he contrasts "Industrial Culture" with "Sustainable Culture"
kind of like comparing masculine LeftBrain culture
with feminist RightBrain enculturation, nurturance, resonance
over the longer-term scenaria,
rather...

Keeping America SafeA prayer for God to bless NativeAmericans
is also a reminder of traditional political mindfulness,
basic awareness of our economic investments in security.
No one "keeps" this confederation of uniting states
safe with alien immigrants
unless we invite them.
Second, prayers...

Comedy of Impeaching ErrorsThe Republican congressmen,
and I do mean white privileged straight men,
came to their Democratic opposition
concerned about how depressing
December can be,
and all of winter,
come to think and feel
of dark discerning Advent,
So maybe we could stage
a comedic debate

In This Taoist's ViewCould we be doing our best

RetributionIn sandy Egypt lived three men

And those gods too blessed them and...

Sacred EnergyFascism lives in tension with holy optimism,
as hatred fades in presence of mutual love,
as WinLose evolutionary models
give way to WinWin sacred Energy
stories and songs and dances,
as patriarchal colonization
gives way to matriarchal creolization.
Fascism,
synonymous with Totalitarianism,
as written...

Manic Depressive ClimatesDepression is like dying
without hope this process will end well,
without remediation
at least not for my closely held ego-identity,
and despair
this turning inward
creates a cocoon by avoiding outward.
Focal awareness of ego mortality,
immanent and emanant,
eminent,
turns inward,
