WhiteWashed Images
PolyPanTheistic minds
find faith in wealthy synergy,
where multi-organic bodies
experience therapeutic hope
for sacred Earth's healthiest
indigenous integrity.
MonoTheistic minds,
not so much;
more monoculturing bodies
experiencing supremacy
of Great White Father
jealously
and zealously reborn
in from-above missionary positions
reflected in AnthroSupremacist mirrors,
images,
iconic
and narcissistic
MotherEarth subservient
subjugating wildly inhumane imaginations.

Speaking From Felt Experience
Enjoying Earth's promised land
of compassionate
multicultural communion,
we share a preference for deep
rich soil
and fertile green-blue
resonating surf
As our bodies adjust
to rocky and prickly
either me
or not me space
And our minds flow
back and forth
through gooey both "me"
and organic neurosystemic "we"
peace searching times
of more-glad/less-bad memory,
healthy peak contrasting unwealthy valley
remembering felt body trauma
and resonantly mindful therapies
Inhaling Earth's past
vast sacred unions
Exhaling

ReCentering Domestic NonViolence
This brisk, sunny March morning, I return from delivering my son to his adult daycare van.
Upon opening The Norwich Times, I delight to read the new Center for Safe Futures "will be taking a huge step forward in how well we can serve the growing number of our neighbors who need help with

The Senior City Center
When I entered the City Senior Center
with my Open Mic proposal
to increase resilience
and decrease apartheid dissonance
I could hear no music,
see no dancing.
The quilting room
and the game room,
even the pool tables,
were as quiet as the library,
which at least held four contemplative people
scattered in their own secluded spaces.
Like visiting a sad monastery,
without tai chi,
chi gong,
walking meditation,
and/or yoga

Choosing Love
I feel victimized
by the commercial success
of what was once a silent,
waiting,
watching
for Emmanuel,
Allah WithIn Us
I wonder
when I become red-faced angry
about not being able to CONSERVE
sufficient power to have my sacred way
right now
If this is entirely different
than when I feel disempowered by fear
of losing what
and whom
and when
and where
and why I have chosen
to love too LIBERALLY
Without restraint,
without constraint,

Healing Systemic Trauma
Can you make any sense of
systemic racism?
No more common sensory sense than
too much patriarchalism--
all leftbrain-rightwing dominance
oppressing sacred Earth's
polyamorous win/win systems
promoting resiliently wealthy
resonant polyculturing health
Care given
as kind received
in fruitful wombs,
like apple cores in transition
from refuse
toward rebirth
Maybe an EarthTribal positive prejudice
not associating Yang courageous energy
with evil supremacist paternalism
and ugly post-survivalist machismo,
chronically sad
and historically bad
and even critically mad

Why Is It
Why is it?
the louder
and more ballistic
my self-righteousness
offensively becomes
The more
at night
I feel self-loathing,
when all is quiet
except dark ruminations
filling my silent bedroom
overwhelming my mind
and body.
Why is it?
we RightWing worry
that nonviolent communication,
too lovingly applied,
would leave us defenseless
against colonizing predators?
And do not worry enough
about LeftWing social anxiety
chronic worrying trauma tales
of violent communications,
too profoundly
ubiquitously applied,
leaving us offensively polarized

Restoring Health
Yang+Yin optimal health economics
fueling wealthy cooperative politics
Leads to less survivalist
Yang v Yin
Also,
Yang x Yin
multiplies SunLight x EarthPower
cooperative empowerment
fuels enlightening reiterations,
integrations,
creolizations
As Yang/Yin divides
separates
disintegrates otherwise win/win
healthy systems.
So, just a quick restorative justice question--
Let's imagine a homeless adolescent (Yang)
and an angry and resentful parent (Yin)
left behind
at what used to pass
as their peaceful white picket-fenced
house

habitat.
Do we assume the

Tao Game Theory
This LeftMind dominant
viral virtue
of practicing RightBody patience
Is a coverup
for feeling deep impatience.
Feeling impatient is not as hopeful
as exploring active curiosity.

would default to live win/lose

When our healthiest,

Restorative Splendor
Written: September 11, 2023
______________________________________________________________
Don't fret, dear; let's wend off the strife,
Candor your winsome grace—embrace life.
With a smile—arouse your inner fire,
Ignite the magic; cater glamour to inspire.
Revamp your vibes—yield them to radiate,
With the incitement of compassion, illuminate.
Empower the night to be a canvas for our dance,
Culminate in a symphony of romance.
Desultory whispers—replenish the air,
As diaphanous souls

Every Relationship Must Change
1. Everything begins and ends,
reports Richo mindfulness
To which Ohcir co-responds,
including positive v negative
therapy v trauma

2. Relationships do not always come and go
according to unconditional warm
co-invested appreciation,
when we fail to bicamerally resonate

3. Secularized anthrosupremacist life
is not always fair

much less panentheistically

Sketchy Boundary Issues
My left-brain dominant challenge
begs for a worldview
of unconditional warm regard
Which sometimes feels uncomfortably warm
through heated confrontations
confused about whose voice is rightfully speaking
respectfully with whom
And who is listening curiously
for
and with whom
to practice universal
uniting compassion,
employing warm organically-fed tools
sometimes slow as molasses
in frosty January
Not cold steel weapons,
icicles aimed for the hearts
and minds of difficult Others.
On our best days
