I've come to the seashore before the night
to imagine far lands with purple skies
welcome serenity into the twilight
redeem my soul as I eternalize
To release dark Angels from their disguise
and finally, heal and not be mournful
as I stand on grains of sand in the tide
seeking peace at a sea I don't control
I'll find reflection while counting the waves
and search beyond the oldest scars I find
to free me from my darkest yesterdays
where they've hidden in my silent mind
today I came to seek and discover
to heal my soul from all I uncover

Addiction is what happens
when mediation doesn't happen.
Addiction is what happens
with my feelings
when mediation doesn't happen
in MeWe conscious thoughts.
Addiction is what happens
with bipolar up and down
dipolar co-arising feelings
when compassionate mediation
doesn't happen in ego/eco-systemic
bicameral Both/And thoughts.
Addiction
to hearing oneself chatter away
is what happens
when more modest mediation
doesn't happen.
Addiction to fast-paced competition happens
when cooperative mediation doesn't.
Addiction happens
when mediation
doesn't, quite so much.
Addiction
to mediation
doesn't do much.
Mediating
addictions
does all else.

Dancing our epic song
inside images
dreams
narratives
ritual motions
rhythmic changes
disembodied
Can become dissonantly self-predative
depressing
exhausting
compressing
Claustrophobic mean remains
of darkly disabling
demonic Othering;
nothing left
for cooperative choice,
wellbeing voice.
Dancing our song
dividing MeWe healthy humanity
in unhealthy ways
Sometimes therapeutically remediated
by better
silent outside
sacred listening,
for healing humane justice
in divinely green peace
forest Cathedrals,
desert sand drifting Paradise,
oceanic blue Heavens,
mountainous purple sunset Passions,
silent flowing rivers
of transparent Power
chasing
following vulnerable
wounding Light
Cooperatively active
inside/outside copassion
recklessly curious love
restoring EarthPeace
one dance at a time
For cooperatively revolutionary
mediations
resonantly YangSun sung
YintegralEarth danced
In and Out
Self and Other
therapeutically empathic
sacred muses
dancing our co-arising Psalms.

Dear Father God,
please heal the earth, give us peace, aid us in our daily duties.
I ask for the world, not just for myself or my country, or even this continent.
Dear Father God,
take the pandemic away; let it be gone as rapidly as it arrived.
We have learned the value of being together, of congregating and hugging and touching.
Dear Father God, I ask that You help us listen to Your word,
not just in the Bible,
But Your spirit words, which we hear in mediations and prayers.
You have the power to heal.
Dear Father God, help us to remember we are all one,
that humanity is suffering.
Until we recognize that one is won,
we will never be as peaceful as we had hoped.
Dear Father God, thank you for our blessings,
our lives, our truths, and our angels.
Thank you for sending us Buddha and Jesus,
Gandhi and others who uplift us.
Dear Father God, be good to yourself,
take time to breathe, and send us love.
Thank you for the selfless people who spend their days helping and nurturing others.
Dear Father God, thank You for pets who show us unconditional love, reminding us always why dog is God spelled backwards.
Amen
