Premium Member Yangyyolks With Yinyin-Whites
Start and end each day,
and life,
with a taoist egg.

I doubt my eggs are religious.

No, but they are natural,
organic incubators, 
co-arising nondual yolk form
with white-transparent regenerative function,
teleology,
and cosmology, maybe,
if you're a chicken,
or a turkey, 
or a...

Though still within our infancy, 
we strive to thrive, but woefully 
we flash and flaunt our 'primacy',
display our trophies pridefully.
 
Our terra firma ecstasy

lays waste to life on land and sea.
Mankind, thy name...

"Ground Level Entry"

“She fits the bill”,
they say it 
insouciantly

visions of being 
carried in the beak 
of a bilious pelican 

where it builds
its rudimentary nest, 
it uses sticks and debris

no stones, yet,
from irreverence
thrown at it

ghost gums

An inner conflict dust brew

Wisdom, 
like the World Wide Web, 
derives from decomposing endosymbiotic (internal) cooperative-dominant evolution 
of biosystems as Beloved EcoSystems,
but Enlightenment, 
diastatic nondual consciousness, 
survives only co-arising exegetical discernment
of ectosymbiotically regenerative
embryonic revolutions,
