badly bald aging building
With a sometimes soggy south walled school,

Games We PlayYang, dear.
Yes, my lovely Yin.
Why do you map Game Theory
onto EcoFeminist Political Theory?
It comes across as either just confusing
or, even worse,
vaguely sexist.
Really!
How sexist?
Well you seem to associate competitive ZeroSum WinLose
with strong aggressive patriarchal effectiveness
for defending...

Teachable MomentumToday
we left off yesterday
to pick up
where speaking non-violent principles
too often neglect to listen
to liberally artistic,
green and active
yet non-reactive
compassionate healers
may need to co-invest more
in co-operating democratic research
of

WholeEarth DiaLogical Matriotism.
Excuse me,
but co-passioned listening

Greenpower DreamsLast night I dreamed.
I dream--

Or, is it?

Echoes of Mom's Great Earth DayA transitional skill
my Mom taught me,
good to use when I start to feel at-risk,
somehow and anyhow,
