Let us dance
to the matrix
of Tao Teh Ching
with love unbounded
may we spend
our eternities
forever grounded
always together
2 souls,
1 entity
all Heart
we are here
tame the mind
let love appear
bliss thunder undefined
animates our soul
now divine aligned
truth our goal
obliterating every fear
presence feels whole
eagles encircle
above,huge,quiet mountains
sweet Tao of peace

I love you

Triumphant afterlife theater
crystal wind spirits flow
temples of awakenings
sunset wings singing
fields forever new of
even counsel innocence
burgeoning light presence
Tao Te Ching pages
The state of flow, eternal Tao
Dance in the ephemeral now
A Bound mind will not allow
A Joyous downward plow
Soft snow, honored thou
Its own meaning endow
Feet atop sacred bough
Snow cut by skis’ prow
Let me show you how

The Great Toad
At the gateless gate
I met the Great Toad
Sitting tall and wide
And in his gaze
All my needs were known
And met
And in that moment
I passed beyond
Without a trace

Confucius say, so does Tao,
So does Jesus, there is no woe,
Don't send dick picks on our phones,
Gal bloomers don't get thrown,
Disembodied , magnets not,
Do grow up, you little grots,
Stay in touch, Confucius say,
F... off our phones today,
So does your ex-wife, so yah!
A-gawin sa apoy ngayon
P-ara maligtas ang tao;
R-endahan ng katotohanan,
I-layo sa diwang
L-ilo.
M-aulan at malamig
A-ng Hulyo dalawampu't walo;
R-umagasa man ang tubig
A-y hindi ka maaano.
S-agipin sa pagkapahamak,
I-sipan nila'y nalason;
G-intong aral ang gamitin,
A-gawin sa apoy
N-gayon.
If the world was run by John Conway,
or our young friend, Terrence Tao,
things would run smooth and efficiently,
and this is most provably how -
with the Sieve of Eratosthenes, it could be done.
Boys and girls would have so much fun.
and every boat and sailing ship
would glide upon a Mobius strip,
costing but root negative one.
Yon I see a stream
That dancing down dwells in now
And all my thoughts seem
To beauty of Nature bow
And flow with the flow of Tao.

moneyless

hateless
how can I really hate you
if I am numb and there are icicles
in me
how can I really hate you
as much as you deserve particles
of dust
motes smoteing freely forming
in all of the city
dirty city
Love gone

In macroeconomics
we express mutual namaste
for robust ecotherapeutic global climate wealth trends
co-arising
microeconomic bio-ego-logical WinWin cooperative
health-care optimization theories.
Restoring macro-global cooperative wealth
without retributive individual micro-ecological loss
of resilient wealthy Yang/Yin bilaterally co-intelligent
eco/neuro-logical healthy wealth.
Did I plant bamboo for the green?
Did I plant bamboo for the white?
When snow suggests that it
lean,
it's tippy-tops aren't at heavenward height
but, rather curled and frozen
somewhere between
the snow-clouds and snowdrifts.
These icicly moments of serene
are not only moments but rites;
snow-gifts.
So, green or white
white or green
it's bendy Kung Fu
serenes this milieu.
Love cannot be bought
Peace cannot be commanded
Silence is the key -
When actions or the lack of
Speak out with silent wisdom
When man understands
All life has an equal part
Has a primal share
Then with unselfish ardor
Goes about his chosen work
Always outpouring
Never commanding silent
Not seeking greatness
Greatness lay in humbleness
A man's deeds speak for themselves
IF YOU WANT TO BE A ZEN MASTER
If you want to be
a Zen Master to live
the Tao follow a cow.
When cow is hungry
it munches grass no matter
green or dry as hay. When
thirsty the cow drinks, when
tired the cow lays down
taking a break to meditate,
standing stares at the field
as blank as if the world
of words didn't exist. All
just is as it is and that
is Zen with nothing to call
at all. Only moo is cow.
wu wei is the path of Tao
of going with the flow of nature
a metaphor of water
which adapts to any shape
always flowing
always yielding
soft, yet in time can cut
and shape rock
a lesson of Tao

Tao of the CosmicCrack
crotched between
Great White Father's
monotheistic Pole
and silently suppressed
polycultural BlackHole
Now ecocidally remembering
what EarthGoddess has brought together
no straight white privileged patrimony
could healthily
or safely part
Like baptismal waters
of RedBlue blooded Seas
and weaponized seasons
of penetrating drought,
wrenching reasons
for dicked-down drenching doubt.
Ancient Chinese text,
Tao Te Ching, teaches the world
is sacred vessel
and hence human beings should
refrain from polluting it.
But, we forget our
planet does not have so much
space and soon, a time
will come when the trash will stay
in sight and pervade our lives.
Still there's time to change
our life-styles in order to
avoiding ruin;
If we wish to save ourselves
we must stop from polluting.

Pebbles
Thoughts are merely pebbles
Being gently washed by a passing stream.
You are the stream.
Thoughts are merely pebbles on a beach
Being gently rounded by crashing waves.
You are the waves.
Thoughts are merely pebbles in the sand.
Being gently worn by the passing wind.
You are the wind
My words can escape on.
Words are merely thoughts
Being gently read by a passing eye.
Yours are the eyes
That can read my thoughts.
COPLA CUARENTA Y NUEVE: This Bad Guy World
Meantime we’ve got this Bad Guy World
Where the Bad Guys have it all their way:
Should Good Guys laze
If Good Guys stop toiling to mould
A better world in Tao Way:
World in a daze
The Grand Design calls for Spoil Sports
Those “society” thinks less of:
Who the hell cares
Bad Guys are made up of all sorts
President doctor or prof:
Scared guy Life snares

In my retirement I can live a life the way I take,
The rising sun paints the eastern window red when I awake.
Serenely everything takes its course in great contentment,
The charms of the four seasons are our common enjoyment.
Tao universally resides in things both visible and invisible,
My thoughts run with winds and clouds in forms variable.
If a man remains placid both in prosperity and adversity,
There’s no doubt that he’s the real hero of nobility.

Walking slowly quickly threw the desert looking
wanting water finding sand
finding sand but wanting water looking quickly
travelling in time
time travelling
making way to way of time
making tao to tao of time
day is gone nite is ici
cold is here to stay love is cold
and gone away
time travelling
travelling in time
finding sand but wanting water quickly looking
wanting water finding sand
Walking slowly quickly threw the desert looking
For ewe love.
Time.
