Long Redesigning Poems

Sixty some odd years ago, when I was just a kid, our home was on the very edge of town.
The man that lived next door to us - a Mr. - O. M. Crabb -...

When asked
by my nephew
for an essential reading list
for PermaCultural Therapeutic Design,
my Taoist thoughts went back
to Unitarian-Universalist
Yin/Yang pre-history,
when Earth produced a theologian,
Dr. Thomas Starr King (1824-1864)
reaching out for non-violent dialogue
across all global healing cultures.

This 1800s Dr....

To prepare for final cosmic breath
exhaled

echoing first breath
inhaling
waiting to exhale

silent sacred pause 
for Earth's final soliloquy 

Terminating all humane
and inhumane futures,
healthy
and disturbing relationships,
elegantly excruciating ecstasy

Leaving hell
without receiving Heaven

Surrendering commitments
to health
and lack thereof

Future obligations
and past assets

Resigning...

Voices of creation speak Type A and Type B,
and polyglot dialects through Z, 
somehow under what lies in shadow
from B through Z,
anyway, Type A conscious I am alive
in this indoor moment
awake but not directly sun-absorbing...

Health has become climatically important
to understand
as well as experience
a fundamental difference,
and yet psychological
and neurological association,
between colonization
and creolization

For a healthy democracy
within this our extended family,
our benevolent associations,
our wealth-restorative reassociations,
our non-profit corporations,
our national
and state
and local
and global good...

Resilience planning
is to Disaster Management
for a crippled community,
As Permacultural  planning
is to Anger Management
for growing Ego Resilience.

When WinLose cards are dealt
by climates of dominating and emerging pathology,
Disaster and Anger Management present necessary
short-term skills,

But, insufficient when...

Dear budding poet,

Regarding modern poetry this is a result of poets such as you redesigning forms of poetry written through the ages by different nationalities, famous and just ordinary people like you and me.

What are differences between strategic planning
and organic development?

Is one deductive LeftBrain sequential
while the other
could also be inductive RightBrain holistic,
holonic Left with Right?

Leaving no one feeling
we have become disempowered
while living on this Earth;

Whether breathing now,
or only...

Once upon time's center
grows two permaculturing farmers,
multicultural mediators
of Earth's healthy polypathic remainder,

And, surrounding them,
seven elders
and their cheer leading mascot
of disabling foolery

Arriving each spring
in his wheeled chair
to witness
and sometimes loudly prophecy,
to entertain with his win/win intentions,
studying...

There has been talk of having the famous black abolitionist Harriet Tubman replace Andrew Jackson on the 20 dollar bill. And I think though it does not completely address the problems our country has still...

I cannot presume to know the motives of those outside my own heart
And counted are the moments that I realize my very own
But I do know that human nature is irrevocably raw at its core,
And...

What would your therapeutic family do
with an extra eleven hundred thousand?
A surplus donated beyond perennial operational expenses
for birthing and maintaining healthy lives
and burying and repurposing nutritional death.

First,
Let's invite co-investors to take back ten percent;
a million...

EarthTribe awakens remembering our original eulogy:
Earth reveals Her without Time progenitive absence,
teaching emergent integrity, peace, grace, karmic justice
to human nature within as without,
uncovering synergetic redesigning therapies
free of immunity to Earth's cooperatively
reincarnate generation.

Thank you to Elders...

Animistic
animated health
designing intelligence,
dynamically changing
emerging PoliCulture's wealth

Is rooted in economic
and political experiential consciousness
derived from,
and arriving for,
integral EarthTribe's
bihemispheric balancing win to win patterns
tipping forward progressive 
democratically yintegral,
not so much autocratic yanged out, 
healthy process

An endangered species, living on a ledge,
100 seconds to Midnight, then over the edge,
Nearest to Doomsday, humans have ever been,
Vaporised! inside mushrooms of boiling hot steam.

Casually go about our business, without a care,
While the Sword...

Painting is philosophy,
muses as brushes Leonardo
past distinctions of tincture,
motion as redesigning color with light
and dark teleological defeat
at right chaos without left handed complexity
of forms with functional labels,
blending oily paradigms of well-brushed revolving flight.

Painters draw out...

Whole loves and half lives
listen to this rain
dripping tears on green leafed pachysandra
while, underneath our shared EarthSoul,
roots systematically suck up water
shared with thirsty insect habitats
not saved from starving lovely lives.

Amour
half evilly named
in emotional womanly royal...

It was but a sandstorm, wind blowing hard and high 
Nature’s way of redesigning the landscape 

The mountains stood like guardians of the desert floor 
Their jagged rocks did not sway as the earth shifted...

Today, please join me
in considering this question:

What are your most resilient characteristics
of your own healthy caring system?

And what could this possibly have to do 
with holes and poles,
whole open systems 
and bilateral space/time 
Here/Now dipolarities?

The Rising of the Ocean

Having God is greater than Gold.
He has gladly accepted me back into His fold.
It was all part of His grand design.

DNA - you misspelled my destiny
Block after building block
Destroyed with your sour acidity
Tried to redefine my black

DNA – in my human footprint
You left a lasting impression
With this uncertain genotype
Designed my unnatural selection

DNA – you spilled...
