Water's Weakness
There is nothing weaker than water
But none is superior to it in overcoming the hard,
For which there is no substitute.
(Laotse, "Nothing Weaker Than Water", Lin Yutang, trans.)
That weakness of mind and body overcomes strength
And uniting...

Gadflies and Honeybees
Where to begin
in the middle of cold and dark
winter's solstice,
healthy green life's time
of impeachment,
excommunication,
dormancy?
Where does this all rightfully
and sacredly left end?
These are expansive gadfly questions,
problems,
issues of complexly dipolar reason,
leftbrain dominant
either-or thinking
we are either thinking or...

Listening For Firestorms
Always respect this combination of fire and wind,
she tentatively said,
after having listened for healthy and pathological winds
regenerating and degenerating,
investing in and divesting of,
yeasty flames of fertile dopamine.
They, like you,
co-arise of and from the landscapes
in which...

Speaking With Donald John
I was speaking with my good friend
Donald John
the Evangelist for AntiChrist
the other day.
And I had to ask,
Donald John,
Why are you so against health care
for all our not yet slaughtered
and otherwise dead already?
Except perhaps health services...

Secret Lives of Shame
We could speak together,
Decry rabid violence of chronically stressed kids
and young adults acting like kids,
apparently regardless of income or race;
perhaps not of enculturation.
Feeling claustrophobic,
anxious about an unpromising competitive future,
drowning in inch-deep and narrow boxed-in mentoring...

He bragged about his collection
of stored wines which were
labeled"Nectar to the Gods"

support his affords: as he wished

Collaborative Muses
Tensions between professional teacher
or theological preacher
and therapeutic integrity
are as old as cultural wars
between knowing scientific methods
and feeling artistic expressions
InBetween noetic purpose

EgoMinds within EcoSystemic Bodies

Force Source
Like lack of preventive health care,
far more love is lost
through passive neglect
than active abuse.
And so it is
perhaps a negative corollary
we, most of us,
have failed to notice,
neglecting the industrial, then colonizing
history of unhealthy abusive gunpowder
moving toward...

CALIBER:
Burn out the news,
If you think of it being new.
The talk of what I've been through,
Doesn't appear as truth.
It's a risky deal for you.
I'm seeing it with few,
To be an unimaginable conceptualised deal.

Sinful Politics Condemns God's Word
The Government's behaviour firstly no longer defends our church

GAMBLER OF THE FAMILY:
He is a young vibrant guy,
Who has a very innocent appearance,
So he is fairly cherished by everybody.
But in every situation he is always the wrongdoer.

Friends call him Wager.

Amusing Earthmusic
When did music begin
for us?
For you?
When did musicians separate
from Earth's music?
Were we thereby commodified
as professionals
instead of cooperative healers
engagers
story tellers
poets
lyricists
dancers
singers
instrumentalists
operatic staged performers,
higher and brighter
smarter and richer?
When does muse therapy end
in talent competitions?
without cooperative EarthMusic
held silently
against sacred...

Rush To Judgement
I'm becoming increasingly concerned when I see people rushing to judgement based on publicly sourced "facts".
On the other hand I agree that our current "justice" system leaves a lot to be desired.

The Scum of the Earth
There’s a sense in which all life is scum on this earth
(without God as creator), life here (more debris
that just floats on the surface of things, that evolves
to fill niches that former life spawns) has...

Mountain Lake
Snow-capped mountains fell to the floor,
Reflecting blurred images so much more.
The mountain lake absorbed the sight;
Random birds passed by in their flight.
The lake lay there oh so soft and sultry;
Nature’s maidens beckon from a belfry.
