Long Replanting Poems

Defining Analogies

Natural/Spiritual Religion:
Our cooperative ZeroSoul-owned green sanctuary system
for extensively restoring interdependent outcomes
to and for healthy ego co-invested lives
transubstantiating Earth's wealthiest ecocentric WinWin Peace.

Why do you qualify Religion with "natural/spiritual"?  
Is there some other kind...

Les Protecteurs – Translation of Oodgeroo Noonuccal’s “The Protectors” by T. Wignesan

We started slow and old-growth
yet steady.

The Senior Democrats
and Republicans
and Libertarians
and Independents
hosted a Community Integrity budgeting party.

Party favors were ballots
with options for small,
medium,
large,
and extra large service sectors
beginning with agriculture and permaculture support
and ending with zoning and...

I am reading Wendell Berry stories
again,
still,
today.

And notice
over these past several weeks
he unfolds two bipolar themes.

Berry is,
was,
a cooperative Southern neighborhood farmer
of organic hospitality.
His protagonists grow on multigenerational farms
as Berry grows into writing while farming,
thereby farming readers
co-investing...

Integrity warriors
are not allowed to raise our sacred voices
even against defiant children,
and defeated adolescents,
and immature monoculturish adults

Much less could we therapeutically self-justify
shouting out against WiseElder
matriarchal baptismal waters
remembering DNA's healthiest cooperative birthing
and thrival
matriarchal/patriarchal

Quietly

Such sweet fragrance
though solitary bloom
abiding dreams in ruin
of unapt hopes to be hewn 

Through soil cracked 
and parched by thirst
reluctant tears fell harder
upon a seed of lingering hurt

Yet hope like sunlight warmed
under canopy of night

I have questions
about spiritual problems
with natural causes.

These questions
themselves
assume a metaphorical double-bind
co-passion in-between
Left with Right hemispheres
in Nature with Spirit bilateral dialogue

Informed, I hope,
by win/win historic experiential roots:

What has "nature v spirit" tension meant
in my life?

What have...

I had waited for you seemingly forever
So long did it take before you were to come into my life
But in so many ways you had always been there

Your hair so white more than once people...

Positive Yin knows 
bilateral awed impression
as Positive Yang grows
healthy-wealth wondrous compassion,

As Negative Yin flows risks
to pride's depression
as Negative Yang down-blows 
humility's oppression,

Winter in as Summer out
WhiteHouse down as GreenHouse up
Yin back as Yang forth,

We were discussing a line
between reasonable compromise
and unconscionable denial
in this time of rapidly escalating fragmentation

When I thought I heard a raw spot
deepened and widened by dissonant history
of disagreement,
antagonistic feelings about noetic consciousness
of past pathological
bad climate...

I think of my Ego
and therefore perceive my bright light space place,
like my self-identity
growing optimally confluent health-power,
says Yang.

Yin co-responds,
We re-connect one EgoZone co-identifying place
within ZeroSoul Zone bilateral
one point of light
toward two-dimensional string of flowing-revolving time,
causally,...

At first there was no alarm; these were winds
And high prairie farms had learned to hold tight
Against gale force blizzards and tornado;
Replanting, repairing after each storm,
‘Rain Follows the Plow’, the golden promise
For European settlers flush...

Once upon an aging mosquito
of healing time,
There was an ancient heroic farmer
not unlike Hercules
if he had lived too long
redressed
and sometimes addressed
as green Goddess Gaia,

Feeling uncomfortable in matronly vampire farming drag
and yet, what to do,
sooner or...

The presumably creative opposite of lose/lose dying
is win/win regenerative living,

The opposite of leftbrain dominant boredom
is left/right win/win co-passionate
cooperative entertainment,
intertwinement,
interdependent re-creation,
proactive dialogue,
cooperative discernment
and choice-making.

The opposite of loneliness
is compassionate engagement,
restoring Earth green peace 
and ecologically balancing justice.

So,...

Deep into the rainforest, a struggle to survive
From insects to leaved trees, wanting all to thrive
The habitat of animals, species all around
Living things a-plenty, crawling on the ground

Four hours of word games a night, with two I-pads on my lap, is absurd.
But in the time it takes one to process I can be playing another word.

Have you ever been lost?
Lost to the point where you didn't know which way to look.
Which direction to point your feet? And every street looked the same?
Have you ever lost yourself  in a transcendental feeling...

It has not been without its strifes.

Daily we hear of terrible atrosities.

In the tall many-eyed hospital
I am shrunken into a small pocket of isolation
waiting for a man to die or 
the replanting of a once mislaid miracle.

I'm ducking beneath time and place waiting for something
