He was a man of infinite wisdom,
A man with esoteric knowledge
And an alignment with nature.
So affable was he, his people
Cherished his presence whenever
He would roam amongst them.
A shy and timid man by nature,
But with the spirit of a warrior.
Humble in his ways, succinct
With his words. A highly honourable
Soul, that radiated through his eyes.
With his shining brow, he led the way.
Though his people loved him so,
He preferred solitude amongst
The trees and critters of all sorts.
Every person in his tribe, wished
To emulate his Being, but he never
Made them feel unworthy of his time.
He never spoke often, but would
Always listen to those around him
With great reverence and patience.
He would sometimes wander off
Into the woods for days at a time.
Always returning with gifts and
Depending on the season, he would
Also bring back food for all.
‘Til one day, he never returned to
The village. For he just kept on
Wandering farther away.
Some say he was a sacred vision,
Others say he went to pass away.
Whatever the case may be, this man
Was but a man who understood
“The Way.”
My insight into Taoism.

An old borzoi tossed out on the street
was snubbed by each stray that he’d meet
But now in Key West
where the weather’s the best
he resides in a Taoist retreat

Yin listens for baseline safety,
absence of aggression,
While Yang speaks up
and out
for social
political
economic significance
without tainted infamy;
saintly synergetic
means not sinnerly energetic.
Yet ego safety
rests more likely yin flowing
in our autonomous insignificance
through resonant democratic choice-making
co-passionate Yang political health
economic wealth
worshiping sacred transcendence
of felt and needed EarthMother
and Her neighborly starlight
regenerating baseline health as safety.

Yang (1) and Yin (0) Zones
are place-holders,
polynomial variables
for appositional co-arising relationships,
tensions, creative and not so much,
intentions
Such as white transparency and color,
white noise and resonant octaves,
monoculturalism and multiculturalistic transubstantiation,
RightWing and RightBrain
conservative of past and progressive into compassionate future
elite and inclusive non-elite, in political philosophy
and history
of colonization with active hope for creolization,
Patriarchal and EcoFeminist polycultural intent,
healthy wealth,
win/lose competitive games
pretending not to want win/win cooperative
co-passionate
co-investments.
Like warm wet organisms in wombs,
like child-birth,
like breathing out
then in again,
out again...

I wonder what I could see without my eyes.
I wonder what I could hear without my ears.
I wonder what I could touch without my hands.
I wonder what I could remember without my nose.
I wonder what I could taste without my tongue.
-----
I wonder what I could see without my heart.
I wonder what I could hear without my heart.
I wonder what I could touch without my heart.
I wonder what I could remember without my heart.
I wonder what life I would taste without my tongue.
-----
I wonder what I could wonder.
I wonder what I would wonder.
without my heart.

In Taoism
as I have experienced it so far
embracing ancient nature/spirit wisdom
of Yang strong gospel anthems,
ecologically singing in all four seasons of color,
theologically dancing,
psychologically balancing,
biologically dominant and recessive reweaving combinations,
All these invite Sabbath memory
co-arising Holonic YinFlow
BiLaterally multiculturing everyday Sundays
in and from and for now
and forward,
and back into original baptism in
cooperatively shared nutritional economies
emerging from SabbathEve's matriarchal womb,
Interdependently regenerational EarthWomb
(not so much PatriarchalTomb),
cooperatively-managed,
ego-egg and eco-conceivers,
sacred environmental receivers
and givers
of health care Sabbath practice
nurturing WinWin wealthy baby/mom co-insurance.
Or,
having a really bad
toxic
pathological
entropic
degenerative moment,
or day,
or week,
maybe a month or more
of chronic ballistic anxiety
about climate changes uninvited,
internally
and/or externally felt too-pregnant
without reasonable future environmental reassurance.

She seemed a Taoist witch to me,
with nature free
for spirited unkind restraints.
Surprise, then, follows her response,
"Of course I recognize Jesus as son of FatherSun
and further,
celebrate His good news
that God's creative nature remains in an evolving,
extending soulful EarthTribe way,
pregnant with healthy sons and daughters
each divinely humane,
at least potentially in time's bodhisattva fullness,
our healthiest wealth wu wei."
Not sure this sounds quite wrong enough
to provoke my evangelical supremacy,
I can only laugh with such rich pregnancy
inside a less domesticated GodHead.
