Queen Gaia
of Earth's Shabbat
is here to speak today.

Unfortunately,
she can only sign,
and the only way she can see
is through our DNA/RNA fractally-balancing syntax,
so she has asked if she could respond to your questions,
as she understands them
within...

A few years back,
in the prior millennium,
1993 to be more precise
Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
born without a stage name

but he was probably shy...

The Panther
by Rainer Maria Rilke
loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch

His weary vision's so overwhelmed by iron bars,
his exhausted eyes see only blank Oblivion.

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

And yet, co-relational lives of thought
and feeling always matter
to cooperative
effective communication resilience

If God

And if we believe

Which can overwhelm

therapeutic,
and not traumatic, 
peace passion experience

And if god
and great paternal rulers
and warriors

In cooperative detective work,
including Earth scientific research,
we are told to follow the money
