Supremely Courted InJustice
The U.S. Constitution's First Amendment
protects individual and collective rights
to practice religious beliefs
Whether these are monotheistic
or polytheistic
or pantheistic
or panentheistic
or even atheistic.
These beliefs and practices
must be religious
and not irreligious
Reconnecting
regenerative
good faith spiritual
re-associative
Not disturbingly disconnecting
degenerative
bad faith dispiriting
demonically dis-associative.
This 1st Amendment does not give
re-ligious right or left,
or any Tao-theistic in-betweens,
freedom rights to claim we are not diversely
and multiculturally free
to practice

Monotheism's greyscale God

A radiant monotheistic SunGod

Orthodox yang monotheism

our co-infested

co-empathic pantheistic HolySpirit's
naturally healthy

The Narcissistic God's Throne
To bow at feet divine, yet feel the weight/
Of every fault, each sin he does dictate/
A love proclaimed, yet fire awaits below/
In sadistic trials, our fate does show/
A tyrant's rule, a dictators scheme/
A mind consumed by power, it would seem/
In psychiatric terms, a narcissist plea/
A God who craves our praise, eternally/
If love so pure condemns

Losses Regained
Like Winter

Dark grey suffering

As one cold

As EarthTribal respiration

A Theology of Boxes

Praise God for “boxes”
that form infrastructure for living!
Praise God for customs, conventions, and traditions
that give meaning, order, and comfort to us.

Quantum Theology
Quantum Theology
By Mark D. Stucky
Spirit filled the formless void
before matter and energy were born,
before infinitesimal became infinite,
when, from a singularity, a speck of nothing,
the biggest bang birthed everything.
And still the Creator of the quantum realm,
on a vast yet subatomic scale,
casting loaded dice of probability,
nudges particle positions,
tuning endless interactions.
Apparent uncertainty,
indeterminacy,
and random chance
ultimately collapse
into incarnate intentions
and

Grand Mother Eartha's Dream
My husband and I always enjoy visiting
GrandMother Eartha
on Mother's Day
She often shares
last night's dreams,
which too often follow rather disturbing peak experience themes
Because,
you know,
or maybe not because,
how would I know?
Dreams about Her Straight White AlphaMale trauma
were maybe inspired by emotional
and sensory neglect
from both DarkGod Judgment
and EarthGoddess Powers
exercised back when GrandMother Eartha
was a fairly happy

Jesus Christ the Splendor
Jesus the Splendor, voice before any sound
Earliest word spoken
Silent kind messenger of primeval joy
Unending bright epiphany
Shining as ageless wisdom who calls you in
Classical wonder before any dim star
Heartbeat before weakened blood flowed
Relieving faith before any sweet tear fell
Immemorial still perfection
Soporific and eternal pleasantness
Timeless patience for you

Preach From Experience
You could tell me your differences,
beat me down with distortions,
in-between fundamentally certain
of Either/Or
Yes or No
Stop or Go;
and never "and"
You also faithfully know sacred reasons
for secularized natural seasons.
You could whisper your silent discernments
in-between Both/And nuanced
curiously growing seasons
of sacred climate doubt
I could be heard and appreciated
beyond self-graced listening
for win/win mind is also spirit
Health is also wealth
