Paradigms Poems

Paradigms of life


A situation or an individual always has two sides or even multiple sides
Its just that you don't tend to knows about it or never got to know one 
A laugh , a beautiful smile which I knew for decades can be an evil smirk that wants me to decay 
Perspective matters and so does the

Premium MemberHow many paradigms and how many paradoxes

How many paradigms and how many paradoxes 
can you stuff into a pair of pint-sized treasure boxes?
And the answer is not,
"Oh teacher, I forgot,"
because I taught you to reason like wily little foxes.

Inside grows dour 
each passing hour, 
another second hand 
mouthful of sand 

Falling into guillotined arms 
fully embraced,
Take me wherever 
inevitability goes,
Nah, been down that road
peeled back every layer,
there’s nothing there 
not even the bare,
Shine or rust
ashes nor dust 

No answers 
resignation to hope,
No common ground 
only random expectations,
No opening eyes 
to claustrophobic lies,
Severed arm’s

Paradigms Temporality 
David J Walker

There is no question 
That the evening 
seemed to come 
to an end 
too soon

The temporality of 
your days 
The glow of 
a full moon 
On the rise  

bright are the stars 
beaconing’s
as if distant skies 
were attainable reckonings  
wearing nothing  
but our own 
flesh & bone

Martha Rogers
brought dynamic nursing relationships
of co-acclimating healthy minds
and Earth's well-being subclimates,

While Carl Rogers
brought empowering therapeutic relationships
of cooperative needs
for nature/nurture
organic bilateral interdependence.

As Gregory Bateson
brought holonic systems theory
of cooperative leftbrain YangNatures
and compelling rightbrain YinMinds
toward dipolar co-arising consciousness
of self/other-reperpetuating
co-redemptive
co-acclimation.

As Buckminster Synergy Fuller
brought holistic geometric systems
of tipping point balance
precessively inhaling Buddha EarthShip global natures
also recessive exhaling Bodhisattva minds

Systems,
cognitive and experiential,
spiritual and natural,
sacred and secular,
are paradigms,
mature revolutions and still partial evolutions,
with WinWin orthodox pretensions
and yet carrying our own WinLose seeds of destruction
dis-integration,
dissonance,
non-golden rules and irrational ratios
within as without,
yin as yang.

Planning systems clarify who  or what "x" is
by deeply understanding how we healthy want
and wealthiest need
x to proceed, continue unfolding,
to evolve not-x, continue

Premium MemberOur Paradigms

You can always change your paradigm
By looking closer at the thoughts in your beautiful mind
What beliefs can you say are truly your own
And from all that you know, do you think you have grown?

Our paradigms come from generational beliefs
Passed down through so many generational defeats
What we were all taught was how not to grow
And you

The more I read of systematic science and theology,
the less difference I find in their continuing distinctions

Like interdependent cognitive thoughts
and intuited feelings,
their side by divide expertise,
their mutually exclusive bilateral oppositions 
merge toward dipolar appositions,
full v empty
before v after
black v white contrasts 
inviting more inclusive greyscale comparisons

Both scientific
and beatific paradigms,
cognitive
and intuitive
nondualistically resist remaining universally True v

Shifting Paradigms

This text is silly?
I think your mind is chilly...
Read between the lines,
It's less about making rhymes
Than it's shifting paradigms

What's the difference between a regenerative-revolutionary outcome
and an evolutionary process of gradual development?

It depends
whether you are looking for the baby
or listening to the new mom.

But,
if you listen and empathize with both 
communing together,
then probably none.

If 2 times 2 is 4
because each 2 is either or
rather than both and,
then why is 1 times 1 not

Paradigms of Passion

I could tell you the tale 
of the philologist who 
dreamed of his death
in rhetoric.
I could tell you that words
become symbols to
manipulate into 
poems,
but silence suits the
sentence well, right now.

Somewhere, a man takes a flight
across the country.
Nowhere specific, a woman tries
to clear her mind.
The advent of Humanity
is a mere speck 
in the world’s history.
I’ve learned

Paradigms of Progress

Becoming something from anything
was a great bliss of paradigm.
I take a dip in anonymity.

You will never know
where  you start a rough patch
on the road ?

A prehistoric site could not outlive
the humiliation of proximity to hate.
Violence chewed the dust.

My knees give way to anguish of morality:
horror of captivity of dawn.
The eyes are going to collapse
