The Electron of Compassion

It Flickers and Jumps..
With all the dreams of Triumphs..

The Electron of Compassion, with all of its serenity..
When the heart discern it's Creator gazing at its masterpiece of rarity..
Through the magic in the sky..
It Flickers..like the northern lights..flaring.. shining.. collapsing.. and Rising high..

Like the intoxicating love..never to Evanesce

This..tiny little electron of compassion..
Substantiating into Aurora..


It Flickers and Jumps..
With all the dreams of Triumphs...
For to blend in its Creator..it limbers

The Jester's Court

Backround information,
footnotes of the weak

Substantiating all excuse,
data incomplete

Reasoned explanation,
wishful thinking’s tool

For dilettante’s to build a stage
—to dance and play the fool

Premium Member In-Between

This in-between place
and time
and space
is *****.

Neither the straightforward seer
of new beginnings
nor the recalcitrant rear
of old sweet and sour endings.

Bicameral climates of transition
listen for our most humane imaged left
and see through our most divine beauty right
symbiosis,
complexly bilateral metaphor,
secular and sacred transubstantiation
substantiating disempowering empowerment of creolization,
of co-investments, elite and non-elite,
of left investors
co-arising right effluent divestment
away from competing capital-headed
Business As Usual

In-between lose/lose alpha-point of birth
and win/win omega warm felt beauty
harmonious destiny,

Sacredly holistic resonance
co-passioning left-hemisphere resilient liturgies

Of songs verbally and non-verbally danced
rhythms entranced
co-gravitating with and toward trans-regenerative stories
of competitively deep curious  and ***** cooperations,
steeped in-between courageous analogical health 
as meta-phonic wealth,

Ecologically robust polypaths
toward polyphonic metaphor.


Premium Member Rather Different Similarities

What's the difference,
and where lie the solidarities, between

Panentheism
and transubstantiating experience,
Multisystemic co-acclimation
and multicultural creolization,
Herstoric history
and theologically matriarchal organic ecology,
Sacred democratic evolutionary revolution
and restoring EarthJustice,
Resilient peace
and everyday sacred
non-violently enchanting positive energy?

Why does this list
speak with uniting integrity?
While seeing synergetic principles
of multicultural healthy zeroism,
cross-substantiating non-universal paradigms
encouraging trust
inviting beauty,
emerging polyphonic polynomials
mutually integral

Re-defining
plusHere and minusNow,
One egocenter
monoculturing greed for timeless wealth
without concomitant
radically eco-rooting WiseElder
DNA sacredly co-enscribing, 
prescribing, 
describing
regeneratively resilient 
healthy wealth
of future searching ancient regenerations.

No truer truths can take me too far from here
Myself alone now viewing what I see as true
Torn from within an inner sepulcher once caked with fear
Made truer now by old offences now found few
I shake the must that's oozed into my adjacent earth
And ask of what borders will I dwell if seen above
The blanching soil that marks the mete of any birth
And ends in essays drawn from hell or love
When all is done, as now, there'll be a quiet end
As the mind's appetite winds down its furious grind
Substantiating proof that there's no better friend
Than one's ideas freed from a safer life confined
Give me love then, and spare the perplexing test
That challenges what in the heart is known best
