when we were born
with all the potential integrity neurons
of the uniting universe,
Through childhood...

The “major players” waltzing ‘round the room that Friday eve.

Dorm LoveOurs was daily mysterious,
sometimes near mystical,
rapture;
a sensual yet platonic
dorm-mate love affair,
within the only male grad student corridor
at SFSU.
He was the presumably straight Vietnam veteran
southern white good ol' boy,
athletically studying Japanese,
with a gentle passion for...

Empowering PassionIn passionate psychology,
powers of proactive compassion
are generally thought of in personal
and familial
interdependently relational
perspectives.

preferring pro-active energy for liberal love
constrains against investments in conserving...

Earth HuggingWhat could I do?
What to do
when your biological,
and even formerly sober ecological,
relationships suddenly veer insanely romantic?
Or worse,
mistrustful
and yet
not always distrustful,
or not,
maybe deeper sadness
and occasional manic gladness
emerging inclusively wider questions
of approach and/or avoid
Both romantic

half their faces veiled, masked in Niqab

Positive Political ProblemsMy fundraising problem with positive psychology,
said the good health doctor,
it is too social science squishy,
not leftbrain dominant enough,
Suspiciously ecofeminist
for natural science pathologists
Straight-White privileged proctologists
urologists
bicamerally challenged cardiologists.
I must concede
not ecopolitically erect enough
correct indeed

My Renegade Sunday School TeacherAunt Mary was a small and wiry mother

She sang in a small querulous voice

Weapons Down AngerAnger
is such a useful learning silence tool,
when not too short-term
ballistically reactive,
weaponized.
I have seldom noticed
when my own hot-burning issues
cold turn into
a Self and Other harsh
punishing vengeance weapon.

humility
By explicit co-invested intentions
