I've read Beyond Religion:
Ethics
[non-sectarian, non-partisan, non-violent]

And I respond
to your unasked question:
What might love have to do with regenesis,
synthesis,
integrity?

You ask me these questions 
about framing an essential therapeutic message,
for that must be how centering questions end,
about essence
core
soul
spirit
nature

energy
guts
roots
seeds
wombs
eucharistic ZeroSum
ReGenerative Green 
Resonant and...

its voice deep and mellow like smooth satiny chocolate,

Only so pleased by sacrifice
Proffered through sacred flame,
Graceful gods do give gifts of choice
So deserved by unselfish aim;

Watch then the battlefield, from the comfort of your chair
And push the button carelessly, when you can’t stomach any more.
Tell us of the sights you’ve seen, from your bought and paid for seat,
Boast of bombs...

It's 5:30 AM, sky bruised and quiet,
And he’s there at my feet, my loyal companion,
Eyes bright, no judgment, just need.

With so many memories for me to...

Knowledge born, burdensome...

They always think big and make no compromise.

Almost seen, unseen barely.
Adumbrated in the dark,
Nimble came, quickly went.

Where from? Where gone?
A fright, a chill, a fear perhaps,
A fear of hope that...
