Premium Member Urbane History Lessons
I have a hardbound copy of
"The City of Hartford 1784-1984"
although most of this coffee table story
of unfortunate events
takes place between 1850 and 1950s,
before and after the UnCivil War,
and,
like the U.S. Catholic Church
and many MainLine Protestant...

Premium Member Healthy Conversations
Life as active love 
evolves toward more polycultural communication,
across both species and time,
within Earth’s Solar EcoSystemic Universe.

While this conversation includes human natured communicators,
we suboptimize our ecological balance
if endo-human discourse monopolizes our lifetime learning dialogue.

What evidence do we have that businesses receive financial as well as other nutritionally healthy benefits, 
by co-investing cooperatively within health-developing community cultures?

A prayer for God to bless NativeAmericans
is also a reminder of traditional political mindfulness,
basic awareness of our economic investments in security.

No one "keeps" this confederation of uniting states
safe with alien immigrants
unless we invite them.

Second, prayers...

Premium Member Political Science of Organic Climatology
Political Science is the compare and contrast study
of governing authority powers
with concomitant economic responsibilities,
and...um...opportunities,
speaking perhaps too candidly.

Why not other powers,
nutritional loves that can be owned only cooperatively,
can be, and would like to become, health invested,
but...

Why is it that gratitude
for peak response to truth with beauty
multiculturally embraces Positive Psychology's
mental health,
humane respect 
for life's naturally pleasant graces?

Yet sapient sacred trust 
in Earth's impassioned beauty spaces
remains spiritually unexplored,
under-mined Truth,
anemically practiced compassion

Ms. Real Time,
an often engaging Taoist,
but sometimes, admittedly, not so much,
more of a disengaged cannibal really
on her dark time of before and after
her Taoist stimulating period

Insufficient knowledge for fully comprehensive consciousness

more than sufficient ignorance
of our individual and collective participation
in comprehensive disease, despair, degeneration, decay,
anger and fearful partisanship,

in both Interior and Exterior Landscapes.

The familiar lines, the flesh,
The pair of oceanic eyes, slowly blinking 
Smiling,
Like a heavenly beam
