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

How 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.

Hanging Onto Paradigms
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
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

Juggling Bouncy Paradigms
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

Political Health Paradigms
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

Our 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

PolyPath Paradigms
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

It's less about making rhymes
Than it's shifting paradigms

Revolutionary 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
