Language shapes perception
As noticing natural communications
without spiritual prejudice
nuances verbal expression,
articulation
And re-articulation,
even revolutionary sublimation,
more occasionally
win/win complex emergence
standing apart from win/lose chaos.
Past enculturation
filters historical experience
preferring predictable resonance,
conservation of unchanging paradigms,
preformed frames of reference,
over cognitive-affective dissonance,
nudging and nuancing revolutions,
emergent creolizing re-articulation,
transubstantiating elements,
positive energy,
subtle empowerment,
nuanced enlightenment,
Across double-binding boundaries
of secular conserving frames
and sacred
liberally flowing
paradigms.
Quilled Nuances
W When the quills dip into dark inks,
O On parchments it unfolds the hearts,
N Nuancing with their pensive thoughts,
D Distilling the essences gathered over years,
E Easily flowing into words to reach out to ages,
R Revering the creation of the creator to eyes,
F Fantasied with the fanciful placement of words,
U Unveiling different images by blessed hands,
L Lovingly pouring the lords wine into our cups.

What wonder can compare to what you are?
Omniscient is your beauty and your grace.
Nuancing passion, pulsing like a star
Delightful to my eyes- your form, your face!
Embellished is my life with words from you.
Reality and dreams in them abide.
Fullment of desire, I taste anew.
Unchaste the thoughts of you that in me bide.
Luxuriant is life because of YOU!

Nuancing Andrew Cohen
"If we are interested in learning how to engage with consciousness
at higher and higher levels,
to consciously facilitate its evolution within us
and between us,
we need to look more closely
at the extraordinary phenomenon of [nondual co-arising] emergence
in matter,
in biological life,
[in economic life,
and in political systems,]
and most importantly,
at the level of [Anthro-mind/Earth-body] consciousness.
We need to cultivate our capacity to visualize
and to emotionally connect
with what it would mean
for [positive] emergence to occur
within our own interiors [mind/body landscapes,
co-dominant dipolar Left-Right bicameral Yang-Yin balance],
within our subjective
and intersubjective
[peak-crown-head therapeutic
and valley-root-sensory/sexual body]
experience."
We LeftHemisphere hear
and eco-politically translate
in orthodox paradigms
of prior enculturation
to speak
and mind-0 zone
body-1/0 co-empathically transpose
co-engaging win/win
bipartisan reformation.
