Blue Sky, Why
"Blue Sky, Why?"
stories speak to us.
inside our heart
is crying.
Blue Sky, Why?
why do children
holding sunflowers
watch their parents die
why do sweet children,
now war torn,
some the battle's orphans,
daily lose their lives
lying in their sick beds

To write an epigram, cram.
If you lack wit, scram!

he sees as a swimmer

Bipartisan Dissonance
When oppositional cognitive dissonance
deflects focus from compassion,
I've learned to go back to when I deflected focus from her.
She sends me passive-aggressive messages,
bread crumbs leading back in time
to where she began to feel lonely,
marginalized,
siloed,
anxious,
neglected.

Earthy Empathy
You've heard that self-unfulfilling prophecy?
"I love humanity--
it's just people I can't stand."
I love healthy humanity--
it's just uppity and/or snooty people I can't stand
I love cooperative humanity--
it's just overly-competitive individuals I can't stand.
Not so distant from,

Water's Weakness

For which there is no substitute.

Scientific Cultures of Health
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?

Professor Glory's Active Hope
The title of this talk today,
"Win-Win Politics of New Feminist Economics"
suggests questions,
more than emasculating
definitively deductive
reductive
answers.
Would you imagine
a minority-identified Buddhist,
more likely as a feminist?
or culturally comfortable
with political and economic Left-brain domination,
monotheistic competing for all-consuming
ritualistic servicing?
