10 minute break

Breathe in, breathe out 
It fills my lungs 
Expelling doubt

I gaze up at the sky 
With dull and fading eyes 
Inhale, exhale 
Let out smoke, not cries 

The calmness overtakes me 
Nothing ever shakes me 
Inhale, exhale 
Nothing now will break me 

A sigh escapes my lips 
For past relationships 
Inhale. Exhale 
Come on man, get a grip. 

The sweet and loving sting 
And the calm that it will bring 
Inhale, exhale im just one human being 

Fix the things you can control 
And what you cants a goal 
Inhale, exhale
One day I’ll feel whole 

I stub the smoldering butt 
Even if I’m in a rut 
Inhale, exhale 
Calm my twisted guts 

The ashes are much like the past
Smoked down to the fiberglass 
Inhale, exhale 
Breaks over, time to go back


Alienated

Do you feel alone with no-one at all
When you have news no-one to call
A dinner for two but no-one to share
Alone with no-one and no-one to care
Your only human contact an elderly homeless man
Cause from all other relationships you took off and ran
The idea of commitment scares you
Not wanting to meet anyone new
Too many years of being alone
You're now stuck in your own zone
With no-one the time has passed you by
To alienate I ask you why?
Not really knowing why or how
You say to change is too late now
Destined to live a life alone
No-one to help or share your home
Alone with no-one and no-one to care
Alienation took her there.

Premium Member Long Ago, I Trusted

People’s hearts, ah, I thought they were filled with friendship and dignity.

A few well placed daggers, here and oh, yes , there!
Have given me pause, to wonder...did they ever, honestly care?

Or.....Are online relationships but a mystic fantasy?
Filled with misplaced trust, love, that cease in ultimate misery?

Oh, they weep, when death takes another away.
And carry-on as good undertakers, they!

Yet the sun rises each day forever and shall, for the living,
And for many a day.

May we honor our friends gone to final rest!
But supporting the living, should be our quest.

What we believe
is our neurological humane nature,
growing up
and cooperatively out
from LoserMe+LoserWe caste depressions
about our survivalist selves
failing past multiculturally dynamic environments,
defending WinMe v LoseWe capitalistic patriarchalism,
while spiritually transitioning toward WinMe+WinWe 
nurturing co-passionate communication

Feels natural,
teleologically indigenous, 
red-blooded spiritual
flowing up
and cooperatively out
ecological green/blue energy
growing away from retributive injustice, 
harmful guilt and shame

And growing toward WinEgo+WinEco absorbing compassion,
ego+eco-political restorative peace
sacred EarthSentient 
matriarchal nurturing
healthy nature of wealthy spirituality

What I believe
is our positive v negative multi-regenerational
neuropsychological 
internal nature

Has grown from
our ecological prime EarthMother Attachment,
flowing out divine individuating energy
growing from discontinuous 
detached 
ultimately disempowering WinMe v LoseWe
post-partum rabidity
toward Win+Win democratically healthy
green indigenous nondualistic relationships
for humane internal+external
natural consciousness

Of wealthy holistic healing
multicultural health
multigenerational
multi-pathic
polyphonic
polyamorous caste transformation
meta-euphoric experience

Of universal love
without anthropocentric conditions.

The Metaphysics of My Muse

Metaphysics is - a division of philosophy that is concerned with
the fundamental nature of reality and being.
It includes ontology, cosmology, and often epistemology.

THE METAPHYSICS OF MY MUSE

While my muse dances a minuet,
She sings of doctors in trip-o-let
Her metaphysicians dress in white,
a bit off-key but the rhythm’s right.

Is ontology the medical term 
for that doctor who treat cancers?
fundamental, they find answers.

Is cosmology those whose focus
is working face, skin and hair beauty?
fixing nature’s flaws, their duty.

Is epistemology that surgical
procedure, an easy cut
for big baby’s head and butt.

Physicians, practicians my muse’s need
for good health and beauty indeed.
Metaphysicians cannot compare
when the body is her major care.

       METAPHYSICS EXPLAINED
 
Let’s be sure we have minds all set;
I got all this off the Internet 
Metaphysicians don’t dress in white
Hope I got the meanings right?

Ontology -  how metaphysicians
explain the univeral categories 
and relationships between entitites.

Cosmology –  a metaphysical
study of the origin, creation and growth
of the universe, but NOT how we knoweth..

Epistemology – metaphysics
theory of knowledge, think it through
how we come to learn what is true

Metaphysician, philosopher
The mind is that which they prefer
to explain the universe and being
admittedly with some disagreeing.

Author’s Notes:  With my apology to oncology, cosmetology, and episotomy.

Barbara Ione Popovits
By Franklin Price
02/15/2022

Barbara Ione Popovits was her given maiden name
When we said “I do's”, and married, it would never be the same.

If you're wondering, who I am, I am Franklin Arthur Price
Writing this about our marriage, and I'm giving some advice

We were old enough for voting, old enough for drinking too
In the months that we were dating, I'd say we both imbibed few

We had both had bad relationships, that's why we started out as friends
Some of our old acquaintances, thought it would come to no good ends.

We were looking to the future when we took our wedding vows
All, in the past  was gone, all the whens and wheres and hows

We would be a happy family, as would others we'd invite.
We would always kiss and make up, should we ever have a fight


ADVICE

Say, “I love you” when you think it, Think it several times a day.
Be there for one another, so those are words you want to say.

Share your thoughts and feelings for whatever comes your way
Do your best at satisfying, when at work, or when at play.

No matter the conditions, be faithful to the very end.
Nothing ever good can happen, if you're cheating your best friend.

Marriage should be fifty-fifty, at times you'll find it's ninety-ten
Work hard, and help your partner, to reach equality again.

No matter what may happen, persevere to make it best
Touch and comfort, one another, when you're lying down to rest.



I pray that as you've read this, you've seen some good long term advice
For me, it lasted half a century, not a throwing of the dice

Years have passed with love and honor. Barb has gone through Heaven's gate
I'll cherish her, through all eternity, she'll always be my loving mate.

Premium Member Avoiding Daddy Voiding Contests

It is good to know what we resist,
but my best way of knowing
is by self and other showing
what we together
would more health wealthily
assist.

You might assume 
the only way to effectively resist patriarchalism
is to fight.

Turns out,
fighting may be the surest way
to already have lost the battle,
and to continue losing
an ecofeminist war.

You might think the only possible way to win
is if all other players lose,
but what, then,
have we the OnePercent gained
toward healthy resilience
and safe peace on Earth?

You might assume the only way to gain power
is to compete
with surpassing strength 
for economic and political victory.
I might guess another way to empower
is to cooperate
for healthier
sustainable flow-with 
empowering enlightenment
more resonant in compassionate relationships
than suspiciously lacking robust 
interdependent 
communication networks.

As for patriarchalism,
probably far more erectile dysfunction
is the result of intentional economic neglect
than vindictive political abuse
and threats of war-mongering.

Experiential peace and beauty
and truth and trust messages
trying to break through LeftHemispheres 
fascinated,
sometimes mystified,
by enigmatic 
elliptical
sacred words,
scriptures,
messages
deep pre-historic passion feelings

Preferring win/win climate health Paradise
over win/lose ego/ecologically pathological risks,
chronically dissonant cognitive minds
at war with affective body issue 
nerve tissues
bipolar stressed

As processed by Either/Or LeftHemisphere 
dominantly StraightWhite monocultural
patriarchal not-listening
jumping to deduction
reductions
not able to hear inductive WholeEarth
interdependent EarthMother ReCreation,
over the sound and constant lights
of fossil-fueled degenerating 
militantly industrialized
colonizing 
bad karma energy

Instead,
our co-investments
in cooperative wealth systems
restore multicultural EarthJustice
AND
restory Earth's green peace
ecofeminist narrative

In which
we too often assume 
the only way to effectively resist patriarchalism
is to fight.

Premium Member Love, Compassion, Space-Part 3

SPACE
Our wonderful marriage had three keys!
Love, Compromise and SPACE were these!
So third and last is SPACE that I’ll write for you! 
Just in case you need a clue!
JoAnn loved books, painting, jewelry making and knitting
With so many wonderful skills all of them were fitting!
She had many more amazing talents you see
But she still made plenty of time for me!
My career took much of my time you know
But I still needed SPACE for my hobbies to follow
Racquetball, fitness, bowling, poker and bridge were a few
Because I had much that I was motivated to do!
But JoAnn and my family were Priority Number One!
And I wanted to ensure that our whole family had fun!
So life for us was always hectic for sure!
And it was our Love, Compromise and Space principles that made our lives secure!!

Love, love, love.
Every needy thing's about more
and better
love,

Unless you're at a political rally.
Then we're all about patriotic, patriotic, patriotic,
Or Freedom, Freedom, Freedom,
Although if we are not free
to feel patriotic or not so much,
then I suppose what is needed
is more Love, Love, Love.

More active compassion,
more listening mindfulness,
more global, if not universal, consciousness,
more robust and resilient relationships
with co-migrant populations,
plants,
planet.

More, more, more
Love, love, love...

Why do we multiculturally long for secular love
and sacred grace
and win/win karma,
yet speak
and endlessly sing
for such long-winded
and short-winged cooperative relationships?

While investing so little time listening
to him
and her
and competitive/cooperative him/her,
as Left makes Right loves Left
full-circle again.

Creator God speaking theological
and creation goddess listening ecological
EarthTribes in love with loving experience

Of and for healthy ego-
wealthy eco-relationships,
wise as also well-being compassions

Listening to, "Love, love, love"
co-investing every communing harmony
playing and working life
through deeper and wider 
active listening for timeless love.

Premium Member A TINY STORY WITH BIG AFFECTS


A person aborted her child at about four months along, closer to five months. She said the child was male, she said she just didn't want to be tied down. 

This same person never conceived again. Throughout her life she made ways to undermine her sisters to their own children. This wicked undermining
caused problems for the childrens relationships with their own mothers.

This person has also done similar things to others. Someday God will have her before him and he will judge her horrible motives.

Her child will see her again and rebuke her in all of Gods glory. Hmm...maybe that's what she wants her sisters to feel...rebuking.

Amen.
