Sometimes our time is worth more than the challenge,
the invitation, the party, the company.
This was one of those times.
You can do it, my family said.
Yes, I know I could
If I wanted to spend time on a challenge or a person
Or a group of people of whom I care not a whit.
There would have been a time I would have spent
Four or five miserable hours doing this,
Proving myself to those who care not a bit.
However I am older now.
I choose to spend my time wisely
Doing things I want and challenges that are interesting or fun.
This party and competition is neither for me,
So even though I could,
I choose to not, retaining my time.
And feeling gleefully great in choosing me over the
Infamous them.
Unconditional disregard
sounds similar to my issues
with Straight White Male
AnthroPrivileged MonoPolistic
property developers
Taking a contract out
against caring for healthy soil
and resiliently protected access
to a wealth of water,
yet something less than flood waters
and super hurricanes.
How is unconditional disregard
not not also a local choice
for retaining a systemic health
is also wealth
gestalt?
Co-arising equivalently dipolar
LeftBrain healthy egos
and RightBrain wealthy ecosystems
recreating unconditional positive
not disregard for EarthCare?
How far
and wide
and deeply intimate do you care
to see
and speak
of where you dare to cum?
and go?
In our shared unconditional
regenerative regard narrative
from nascent egocentrism
to well-matured ecosystemic consciousness
Where unconditional health
is an ecologically positive
polycultural regard
and wealth is a biological not negative
Earth-patriotic capital co-investment
in future EarthTribe regenerations
Unconditionally co-regarding
bicameral
bipartisan
ego/ecopolitically cooperative
win/win co-investments
in unconditional sacred/secular regard.
How deep do unconditional regard
root systems need to emerge
into health
and safety thrival
exploring more than win/lose
this quarter
this year
raw and naked survival?
To see
and speak
what any ignorant narcissist
can remember
of indigenous neurosensory experience
We all enjoy a sacredly ecstatic peak experience
potential to break through mundane side
by predative sideness.
We share so much more potential
than autonomously taking a perfect
non-conditioned disregard
for slow grown eschatological dumps
to seed Earth's polyculturally panentheistic
nonviolent communing
Healthy and safe
unconditionally regarding
secular soil
and sacred win/win peak experience toil
to not spoil
what MotherEarth
needs to rear Her
unconditional warm self and Other
regarding future regenerations
ReMembering
Safety and self-optimizing
health care
are also unconditionally
well regarded
organic
sacred wealth share.
After everything is gone, what remains?
A shell of me. Life's imperfections:
I've struggled between good and evil,
Then looked to be led by someone
To have a personal relationship,
Always seeking life answers,
Attempting to resolve what's inside,
Sometimes making selfish decisions –
Choices we make for our own benefit.
Thinking of survival from beginning to end,
Retaining ground as we move forward,
And living to move on more quickly;
We do not have time to waste,
Nor bully myself over any more failures.
Make sure to try harder.
Happiness is not having everything;
It's the quality of our life.
What we did is a forgotten past.
Suffering never ends.
Afraid of being alone,
The existential life is often met with disappointment.
This lovely poem is written in honor of my friend.
I will call her Diane, a friend dear to my heart.
It is not her name, but I am retaining her anonymity.
After her husband had an affair, it tore her apart.
This poem is actually in honor of him, the lying, snaking,
thieving flim-flam-flimity.
If I knew his name I would say it, loud and tall.
Both names and his city, outing him nicely, and easily, with femininity.
I have no loyalty or love for him after all.
Slap her, kick her, pinch her, beat her.
Slap her, whack her, kill her, cheater.
Get out of her life, once and for all.
If we friends catch you, you will surely bawl.
You’ve done more than your share, you horrible rounder, you waste of space.
Of hurting a whole family. Your darling children are crying.
Your in-laws pick up the pieces that you have thrown out of place.
She will do much better now, without your cheating and lying.
One day he quietly walked away
At the apex of gleaming gadgets, he said, "Good day."
So long to 'Fake Book', 'Instant Grams', 'Flip Flop', and 'Bitter.'
My, oh my! The rumors that rang out about him being a quitter
But I ask, is quitting so bad?
We're often taught that it is, and this is what is so sad
Karmic lessons being taught
Mister Hermit is learning and peace is being sought
He's abstaining and retaining
Now, glorious gifts he's obtaining
Back to the basics reuniting with foundational bliss
Embracing mother nature, peace, and a celestial kiss
Off the 'Grid, Mister Hermit goes
Where that is, nobody knows
One could speculate this or maybe that
But one thing is for certain: his life and peace he begat
As the wind howls outside in the night
Things thrash around breaking with its might
I think about the good and evil
Raising their faces, showing their will
Brewing like a storm in our country
A storm bound for landing, not to flee
A time of reckoning is showing
As we watch and we speak without knowing,
What the damage will be when it’s done
Who will survive retaining blessed love?
Who will hold onto faith from above?
Pleas for justice are calling abound
Some facts disappear without a sound
Spreading truth, not games, mean the most now
To hold onto it, through this somehow
Faith is the answer, restoring hope
As we travel this slippery slope
Let us not forget our core values
In the whirlwind of hatred on news
As the wind howls, keep calm inside
Emerge from conflict, knowing we tried
The truth is the seed within your heart
Do not let it go or break apart
This influential turmoil is strong
Many choices to make right or wrong
With every single moral test,
Winds may be strong, so let’s do our best

Earth's urgent need
for humbler heroes
finds unenlightened me
clinging to early fears
and angers
muttering loathing
and festering hate.
Meanwhile
Brother Integrity
and Sister Humility
notice global health potential
is already therapeutic blessing
co-arising traumatic warning
HealthClimate leading toward
win/win Integrity
and Humility
regarding past wounds,
afflicting and afflicted,
supporting
Win or Lose
Win and Lose
Healing and Hurting
unconditional regard,
uniting compassion
without cultural
religious boundaries
of health and safety consciousness.
Internal ego humility intent
and External eco-integral systemic
health potential relationship
includes appreciation,
sometimes a little more humble depreciation,
Where Ego inside
evolves integrally
organically committed
to what
and when
and why
Integrity's humble
healthcare systemic potential
bicamerally transposes
outside-health/inside-safety
cooperative compassion
Already making babies,
sustaining slowly dying rivers,
maintaining quietly crying
glaciered mountains,
retaining liberal/conservational integrity,
Left/Right anthro-humility,
bicamerally co-arising
EarthDay's primordial need
for humbler heroes.
It has been frequently said, that fervent prayers make a world of difference!
I am thereby calling upon the God of the heavens and the earth, to heal our people and our divided lands. And let not our enemies triumphant over us!
It is all too sad but none the less true! People in positions of wealth, power and influence have sold out our countries to powerful enemy nations!***
They have betrayed the very people, who elected them.
They have betrayed the very people by misinformation.
They have betrayed the very people who they educate. ***
They have betrayed the very people, whose money they
invested. They have sold out their medical resource systems.
They have betrayed the very people, who are their employees.
They have betrayed the very people, who they entertain. etc. ***
They have done far more than to sell out their countries' populations! They have sold out their souls to the very devil himself! "For what is a man profited, if he should gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his own soul?" Matthew 16:26. The same general rule of thumb applies for the feminine gender as well.
What must we do, but pray that God Almighty prevents them from further selling their own countries down the river to a certain rich communist country! This country has world dominion on its very mind! In fact they even consider the European nation of France as one its provinces. If they completely succeed in taking over the United States of America? What chance do other countries have in retaining their own freedoms! Only the Lord God will be able to stand in their way!
Love in Christ Jesus!

A seed lays on the ground
by and by it sprouts
clawing into the soil
digging in deep its tap root
energetically spreading its roots
from its husk a stalk emerges
growing fast it reaches up
harvesting the sun and rain
in stature it climbs skywards
jaunty petals blow in the breeze
kicking out more stems it flourishes
lissom blooms begin to sprout
magnificently they turn to flowers
nurtured by the rich soil
opening they dazzle with colour
quaintly, shyly showing their faces
radiantly reaching for sunlight
soon all too soon they will fade
turning brown as they dry
until the pods open and spread seeds anew which
venture forth to form next years flowers
wise nature sowing her harvest of
xeranthemum flowers that keep their colour
zany in vases retaining their shape for years
Why should
or would
or could authority of competing violent colonizing pasts
outweigh responsibility for our cooperative co-arising futures?
People with disabling histories
seem to be more honest,
transparent,
to speak thirsty truth
to disintegrities of egocentric abilities
practiced to disempower others,
stalking chronic vulnerability to WinLose ZeroSum enculturation.
Sometimes candid integrity,
honesty,
if not dismissed as pie in sky mysticism,
ignored as a not fully developed fool's errand,
denies BusinessAsUsual WinLose ecopolitical camouflage,
Mendacity hidden behind stalking
competing white lies don't publicly or privately matter
as much as white male privileged
Western historical enculturation capacities
control
colonizing toward SuperElite
stalking LeftBrain-languaged
deductive/reductive supremacy
Stalking privileges over heart-mind RightBrain disabilities
retaining newborn faith
about our shared abilities
to love all Sacred EarthTribe
With a love preferring non-violent revolutions
working around
and through
and against further patriarchal dominant evolutions,
devolutions stalking remaining undervalued pockets,
populations
nature/spirit populace
resilient residents
of health/wealth co-resonant integrity,
humane/divine trans-physical
omnipresent ability
to love future/past fully
Committed to climate health/wealth,
inside egos and outside ecological poly-theologies
Truth within BeautyGrace
Why should
or would
or could authority of competing violent competing missionary pasts
outweigh responsibility for our cooperative co-arising
secular/sacred

eco/ego-
futures?
