Premium MemberHeavenly Gifts

Abounding blest compassion divinely exudes fulfillment
Toward a flourishing life with peaceful glow
Midst caring and sharing along blessings’ flow
All from the Lord we can enjoy by gracious empowerment.

Granted heavenly ... instilling justice, kindness, loving mercy
Blessings from God multiply with His magnanimous grace
As we utilize them, devoid of greediness-trace 
In our gratefulness to utilize resources devoid of complacency.

Nourished optimally, providing quests’ resplendence  
Gifts of the Almighty are loaded with contentment gain
Vanquishing haughtiness of covetousness-pain  
For faithful stewardship yon earthly transcendence.

Satisfying triumph, upholding virtuous worth
Faith in Christ champions blissful trust-delight
Freely fueled to vanquish doubt of skeptic blight
Toward reaching-out, creating paradise on earth.

When east and west marry

If biscuit dipped in curry’s what he likes,
What use needless flurry on what he likes? 
O be not so narrow-minded a man,
At least east-west marry in what he likes.
Let them say, ne’er the twain shall meet,
If they do, why worry in what he likes. 
___________________________
Ghazal (tongue-in-cheek) |01.11.2024|humour, east-west

Poet’s note: Dipping a biscuit in tea seems widely accepted a practice. In west a scientific study (yes, scientific) has been done on how long a biscuit should ideally be dipped in tea. Around four seconds, it says. A little less and the biscuit is not optimally soft. A little more, and it would be too soggy, and a portion might even fall in tea. But here is this guy who dips his biscuit in daal (Indian curry)! This short Ghazal of three couplets has its own take on it.  

Poet’s note: based on a Gujarati Muktak by Naaz Mangroli as under:
Daal nee saathe ae biscuit khaye chhe,
Aemaan taaraa baapnu shun jaaye chhe?
Sankuchit drishhtinu taaree shun karu?
Poorva-pashchim aektaa to thaaye chhe!

Premium MemberDecrypting the Code

All urges arising within the heart
ever bubbling in innocence
unendingly adding joy to its cart
never ever looking askance

There being no need of discernment 
if we but listen to our conscience 
throb of love bestowing contentment 
unless we stagnate in indulgence 

Joy in permanence to our being innate
requiring immersion in the flow
ambling along in nonchalance sedate
taking each breath easy & slow

Distinguishing between heart and head
choosing to optimally balance
food for the soul vs need for daily bread
both in love aligned parlance 

There then thus being no inner conflict
as head and heart align
as a mist of bliss always at the summit
being one with the divine

Premium MemberResolutions

R  esolutions occasion themselves optimally at the start of a new year
E  very new calendrical chart anew page in our lives of things fretted over
S  ome are constant challenges interwoven with more current examples 
O  thers will be pondered over time and again throughout coming days
L  abourious test and trials are then faced head-on painstakingly daily
T  ediously we would persevere and press onward to greet with a smile
I   n retrospect many were made capriciously and thus fall on the wayside
O  nly a few, if any, we will be successful of going over the hurdle victoriously
N  umerous would certainly fail and some met will also filter in as failures
S  o that is the usual outcome of resolutions whereto we save that for next year

Premium MemberSans Mind-Body

Affirmatively, we are in God's plan*, perfectly divine
Bestowed with love to bloom with amazing design...

Cherished around the Creator's compassionate caring zest
Definitely awaiting sovereign calendar for grand time's best...

Existence meant to explore and enjoy optimally life eternal 
Functional around fellowship transcending the ephemeral... 

Geared for glowing by Christ's light against guilt-caused gloom
Hoisted with faith, upheld by love, surmounting sin-inflicted doom

In the LORD, we are who He wants us to be for His honour and glory
Justified by His redemption holiness, among His redeemed ones in victory!

*Ephesians 1:4-5 - According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love.

Premium MemberAbsorbed By Time

Silence
oppressively descends
in dead depressing despair

And, impressively ascends
in tingling anticipation,
pregnant with delighting participation

Ecstasy itching with silent invitation
bicameral co-passioning revolution

Optimally resilient night through day,
day in night voices,
night to day listening
in tingling resonant silence,
music,
dance,
motion, 
emotion,
intention.

Premium MemberEgo Ecstasy

I wonder
in powerful awe

If I can see
as well as hear
a timeless difference
between ill-timed ego-annihilation
and health-trained ego-fragmentation
into awed synergetic complex wonder,
chaotic eco-ecstasy.

If I can hear
as well as see
full-timed integrity
so dense
robust
resilient
I am optimally fulfilled 
by cooperatively silent celebrity.

Premium MemberDonald John's Secretaries

Why was Donald John
closer to his depressed Press Secretary
than his Secretary of Defense?

Because
he took his Press Secretary
as his best fake-news defensive offense
and his primary goal was to fool
all the bipolar fundamentalist monoculturing people
all our dipolar revolutionary cooperative Time.

And,
he thought
his Secretary of Defense
was his Secretary for Oppositional Offensive Defiance
against polyculturing Grace
and Positive WinWin karma of cooperations,
against love and health and multiculturing WinWin
ecotherapeutic sacred life
and secular healthy climates
of and for LeftBrain egotherapeutic
Yang downsizing
Original Intent
of Yin's WinWin optimally flowing
health defense.

And he remembered
he said he was against affordable health care
actions of predecessors,
so he must be for
pathological mismanagement.

Premium MemberClimatecare

How would I describe
my spiritual commute to a place of optimally healthy enterprise?

Am I more of a monoculturing mind
for commodifying my Business,
sometimes BadNews for more vulnerable competitors?

I hope my monochromatic elitism
gives way
to active hope
and faith
and love
for polycultural creolizing outcomes
of WinWin plays and games,
reforesting external EarthNature,
while reweaving internal EarthSpirit.

Matriotic Revolutions reweaving my nutritionally organic mind
for restoring healthy souls,
wombs,
systems,
networks,
re-creating extended organic family bodies,
democratically inclusive 
liberating-conservational living dipolar constitutions,
therapeutically cooperative educational systems
for optimizing health care, nutrition, energy, life
polypathically dancing
within polyphonic democratic empowerment circles,
singing ringing love anthems 
of democratic Energy
yet emerging healthier climates
for All EarthSouls.

Premium MemberWhen Time Went Live

Neurology asks
How does our bicameral brain
and bilateral neural-system work,
both positive and negative?

Meanwhile, form greets function.
Psychology asks
What can minds with bodies tell us
about who we were,
who we are,
and those whom we might become,
and prefer not to become?
Because to do so would be even more pathological;
negative psychology
is pathological psychology.

But,
both neurology and psychology
assume this same radically fundamental spectrum
of regenerative health
through degenerative pathology
of physical and metaphysical climates
for landscapes
internal and external,
positively cooperative
on through too competitively dissonant.

Ultimately,
neurological psychology
reweaves how our healthy ego-systems work
sometimes optimally,
too often minimally,
toward whom and what
and when and where
and even why
we would most regeneratively become
together.

On time saw live, sacred;
no emit was evil, desecration;
neurologically anti-healthy negative psychology.

Premium MemberOpposites of Hot

The opposite of heat is cold
but what lies in-between?

The opposite of friction is fusion
and Earth's living systems evolve in-between.

The opposite of Capitalist Empire Building,
with military industrialized full-investment strength,
is Earth Cooperative Paradise,
flowing fusion of fertile fulfillments,
in-between ego competition monopoly games
and eco-centered global cooperative ownership,
where competitions of EitherOr economic deduction
revisit cooperations of BothAnd political seductions
to ecopolitically define love
as at best and most optimally present
within active cooperative ownership,
interdependent multicultural governance,
polypathic LeftYang-RightYin fusing climate within
as Left-Western Capitalism-Right Eastern Creolization
fusing economic and politically cooperative networks,
matriarchal/patriarchal balancing creation stories
without.

The opposite of competition's too-hot
is ice-fused cold paralysis,
but what and when and where and who and how to
flow nutritionally in-between?

Premium MemberSinging Soul Strong

Billie Holiday said
The artist of soul never sings a song the same way twice,
the artist never sings the same song twice.

This sounds good and right to me,
as soul artists and lovers, 
great optimally effective researchers and scientists and communicators,
never live a day,
a felt relationship,
a poem,
a dance,
a sacred ritual or tradition
the same way twice.

As we learn to stay within our zones of synergy,
we can never go quite back to yesterday again
because we live through this fluid imagination
and experiential place
where life's co-relational time
flows a bubbling nuanced inside/outside integrating stream
never organically sung as mere mechanized repeat,
each moment learning now's renewing voice
from soul's most resonant
remembering 
strong-hearted
full-minded
passion-embodied space.

Soul sings inside songs 
of out-streaming full-hearted 
improvising
synchronizing voice.

Time

I took time for granted,
The belief I held about it's worth was slanted. 
I did not respect time,
And unknowingly treated it worth less than a dime. 

There are twenty four hours in a day,
The same as every human in the play. 
Some use time optimally to make hay,
While others cause it's successful slay.

It does not become difficult to guess,
That by treating time with disdain I ended up in a mess.
And accompanying it there was the deep distress,
All because I lacked the discipline to optimally use time.

Time the true treasure 
and the success measure,
Waste it and repent 
at your own precarious peril.

Dogs O Saampoor6-We Are Learning

we are resting
like beautiful dogs
of sambalpoor
with empty minds
staring
at the wheels of
intuitive melancholy
third eye
rejuvinated
spinning optimally
bells chime
from the remnants of
the ruined temples
dogs are faithful
here
we are learning
now

Freedom from death
bounds freedom to fully live,
As freedom from thin-skin body competitions
reconnects freedom to deep mind cooperate,

As freedom from Win-Lose YangGame Strategy
opens ecosystemic freedom to optimally double-YinWin-Win
EcoLogistics,
born-again regeneration,
Beloved Climax Dreams incarnating
freestyle swimming flight
from dawn through night
greets eternal dawn's adventure
blinding bright 
ecstatic spiral light,

recentering delight.
