Bending Nature’s Bow

The way of Heaven,
Is it not like the bending of a bow?
The top comes down and the bottom-end goes up.
The extra is shorted, the insufficient is expanded.
(Laotse, “Bending the Bow,” pp. 305-6, 1942, Modern Library, Lin Yutang, ed.)

The way of economic paradise,
is it not like the bending of a bow?
The top comes down as the poverty-end goes up.
The fattest are shortened,
as the insufficient expand.
It is the way of Beloved Community
to take away from those upstream, with too much,
by mutually giving those without enough downstream.

Not so with human nature’s way:
We take away freedom and power from those without mainstream value
And give them as tribute to those with too much.
Who can have enough and to spare to coredeem the entire world?
Only Wisdom.
Therefore the Sage acts and transacts,
but does not possess or dispossess,
Accomplishes but lays claim to no credit or deficit,
Because he has no wish to seem economically or ecologically superior in value.
(Adapted from ibid)

Bending this permacultural bow of bilateral boundaries,
between host and client,
rich and poor,
stimulus and response,
self and other,
Yang and Yin,
Left and Right,
full summer’s incubating heat
with deep winter’s decompositional compost,
until all four Seasons equivalently fulfill,
diastolically complete their mutually integrative functions.

When seen together,
through Left’s “both-and” ecological
as Right’s “not-not” logical dipolar landscapes,
through life’s seasons of well-fired water and airy subterranean soil,
through C through F closed-fractal
as A through G regeneratively open pregnant octaves,
through annual win-win economic balancing strategies
reflecting perennial win-lose ecological cycles
of (0)-sum slow revolutionary harmonic balance,
we can each and all shoot comprehensive conscious arrows
into fertile post-millennial enculturation.

Living,
bow-hunting each moment as my last
and our more polyculturally inclusive bilateral last step
toward ego death’s eco-ionic rebirth.

This more fully organic mind-culture we are hunting
and farming,
a rich composting Holding SpaceTime
of (0)-centric positive polynomial values
appositively balancing,
tipping,
exchanging,
transporting negative not-not non-named,
ignored, neglected, dispossessed and undervalued Disvalues,
lurking behind our Fractal Commons of recycling cognitive dissonance,
slowly pulling into enlightening days and Transitioning Generation
to explore harmonies of scale and pitch,
and developmental learning stages,
proportional polyculturing designs and cooperative guilds
to optimize Positive Systemic Teleology
by diminishing eisegetical “unconscious” dissonance
from our global cooperative orthopraxis–
jump-starting universal co-empathy.

Dynamic subterannual understory,
regeneratively reseeding germination of Holding SpaceTime’s
Zero-Sum eco-logical Four Seasons of growth and decay cycles;
too often confused with stagnant ego-serving Orthodoxy
degenerating Earth’s gasping Business-As-Usual breath.

Time optimizes sustainable Ego-Yang’s diastolic inhalation
through our Self-Subsidizing Eco-Yin-with-Yin cooperative exhalation.

Investing in Ego-reducing praxis for CQI,
Bucky’s least dissonant way to improve failing systems
is to upgrade their environmental ecosystems,
their ecological balance and holistic harmonious potential flow streams,
especially their root-systemic perennial enculturation environments
to grow more effective year-round economic nutrients, collaterally,
Positive Teleological Value,
and less cognitive dissonant Ways and Means toward profligate hope,
Truth and Consequences for generating inclusive faith,
in The Good Life and Death of regenerative, coredeemer, love,
a graceful messianic incarnation
of post-millennial Tao ReGenesis.

Balancing dia-praxis,
including comprehensive consciousness dialogue,
grows from primally rooted regenerative fractal systemic practice.
Positive practice intent is not even possible to grow
without a Positive Teleological Assumption,
too often attenuated as merely enthymematic wish fullness.

People harboring insanity, depression, opposition,
sociopathology,
high stressed over-populated anxiety,
are less well-oriented to Positive Teleological Orthopraxis
due to a lack of sufficient practice
unveiling contenting implications within contentious dissonance,
therapeutic relationships of mutual basic attendance
and cooperative mentorship.

The way of Beloved Climax Community
and Communication,
is it not like the bending of a Full Four Season
permacultural bow facing bilateral namaste
for life as death reborn?

PsychoTripic Theory of Everything

Consciousness is internally co-incidental.

Today I want to talk about possibilities
for permaculturally dynamic,
which are, by definition, natural systemic,
relationships,
correlations,
between Left-brain deductive consciousness,
Right-brain inductive subconsciousness,
and an entropic boundary between these two interior landscapes,
which we call unconsciousness.

The feasibility,
much less value,
of recognizing this phrase, “unconscious mind,”
as an oxymoron
may have optimally Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) implications
for polypathic potential to develop comprehensive consciousness
of both our Left-deductive cognitive confluence,
and our Right-intuitive cognitive dissonance as negentropic,
or negative, correlation.

But first a note about the “correlation” of information
as calculable datum.

Try, if you would be so kind,
to imagine that a positive correlation of information,
like the association of winter with cold,
and summer with warmth and maturation of plant and animal life,
is dynamically analogous to:

Correlation: Coincidental energy trends of association,
transaction,
action,
mutual giveness,
cooperation,
polycultural intention;
implied mutual attraction of any gravitational bilaterality.

And, these coincidental correlations can be positive or negative trending
across time
as experienced through bilateral consciousness.

But, when correlations of informing deductive consciousness are positive trending,
our Right-brain “sub”conscious awareness
of coincidental proportion
and function
responds to this same data set
of informating energy
with a “not-not” cognitive dissonance screen.

That is, when the Left brain sees opportunity
to invest in correlative information,
the Right brain decomposes risks of investing
where double-negative ecologic remainders are dissonant
with Left-brain’s languaged deductive resolution.

When our Left brains compare positive and negative correlations
from the past
with current experiential research data,
this means
our balancing Right brains coincidentally correlate
with double-bind subconscious memory loops,
using DNA lexicon,
fractally self-regenerative
permaculturally self-balancing,
seasonal,
and equi-proportionately feminist,
development syntax.

This coincidental correlation responds to Left-brain’s question
“What is a revolution of life?”
with
“What is a universal evolution of not-not death?”
Right-brain translates Left-brain’s “Closed System” lexicon
as “Open Thermodynamic Balanced System.”

Our conscious mind responds to cognitive dissonance
by dismissing current information
proposed by our receptive neural sensors
which may be what we call “unconscious mind”–
one that lacks optimally comprehensive consciousness
because of this unresolved,
disresonant,
exformative,
distorted information ergodic boundary
between Left and Right hemispheric balance.

Meanwhile, coincidentally,
Right brain intuitive awareness
seems to be how we have culturally marginalized,
disempowered,
oppressed and suppressed
permacultural cognitive confluent consciousness;
how Western and Male and Right-hand dominant cultures
disempowered our Yin-Yin,
Win-Win,
wu-wei,
tipping point,
TrimTab potential
by dismissing intuitional awareness to the merely “sub”conscious
netherworld of mythological icons
and over-active spiritual crystal-gazing.

As our correlative and coincidental consciousness
moves toward Right with Left balance,
harmonic 4-dimensional spacetime
as permaculturally comprehensive consciousness
unveils Right-brain’s
“Eternal Universally Open Moment”
understory
as poly-consciously
regeneratively
optimizing DNA lexicon’s potential information,
with enthymematic form
and positive OVER negative function
and flow and flux
“surfing;”
perhaps David Bohm’s “Implicate Order,”
but also Buckminster Fuller’s comprehensive systemic consciousness
of Explicate OVER Implicate
as (0) Core Vertex OVER Dark Hole Vortexial
Alpha through (0)Mega Point.

As comprehensive consciousness evolves,
permeating human nature’s future
deductive-inductive balancing potential,
this boundary term “unconscious mind”
will evaporate,
as we learn to see what was not conscious
as what is coincidentally,
correlationally,
dynamic as cognitive,
affective ergodic,
and only potentially effective “sub” conscious Right-brain awareness
of heuristic dissonance between what has impacted
one or more of our senses
and our double-binding memory of Elder experience.

Comprehensive consciousness compares to
a fully enlightened neural-cellular system,
a diastatic heart,
fully-encultured lungs,
as entropic unconscious chaotic exforming carnation
compares to dissonance within our disembodied dismay
and fear of death.

Freud’s tripartite decomposition of consciousness,
with Id as a disturbingly primal unconscious “self”
lurking behind Ego’s consciousness,
lording over the sometimes bitchy Syperego’s
poly-ionic subconscious mind,
might have appeared psycho-dynamically normative to Freud
because of his research and analysis focus
on people experiencing significant dipolar Left-Right dissonance.

Probably more helpful
on this journey toward permaculturally comprehensive consciousness
is to reconceptualize consciousness
as a Left-Right bicameral conversation
through DNA/RNA’s language roots,
where Positive Polynomial Information
tries to retain thermodynamic ionic
and ergodic balance
with Negative Not-Not Polynomial
double-bound Right-brain
fractal-octave root frequences
and functions of communication
and community
and economic
and ecological development;
which we also experience as evolution
toward regenerative CQI standards
for fully-balanced consciousness.

A correlative observation:
notice that positive teleological correlations,
which we think of as indicators of life’s evolutionary
and regeneratively omniscient trend
toward our hoped for future time
of beloved climaxing diversity,
follows a Right-Left cooperative balancing
economic investment profile,
by logically following a Win-Win Gaming strategy.

Left-brain dominant,
Business As Usual “consciousness”
over-estimates the empowerment value
of “dominator Win-Lose” competitive economic assumptions
as being normative
because of a Darwinian natural law of life’s survival.
Darwin himself most certainly did not share this Left-brain dominant comfort
with any “natural law” message
suggesting the way to optimize positive evolution
is rooted in a competitive Win OVER Loser
thrival of the deductive-only fittest.
First of all,
way too anthro-centric for Darwin’s taste.
Second,
this view was contrary to,
cognitively dissonant with,
his experience of Earth’s living
evolving nature
as rooted in the cooperative bilateral challenges
resolved reiteratively
through genetic conversations
between a local species
and that species’ local and global environment.

Buckminster Fuller’s “Universal Intelligence,”
like his hope for post-millennial comprehensive consciousness,
and like Darwin’s view of Earth’s systemic evolution,
is rooted not in the human brain,
or even the uniquely human natured neural system–
although the languaged expression of consciousness is so rooted.
Rather, intelligence,
or consciousness,
evolves from the root structure of DNA,
and, even more primally,
from each RNA self-regenerative living cell structure,
design,
and development protocol.
Our consciousness derives from our brains and neural systems,
yes,
but also our hearts,
our lungs, all of our organs
holding this Beloved Community
of eco-centric synergy
through joint venture investments
in this regeneratively cooperative,
and often challenging,
Alpha-(0)Mega Point journey
toward comprehensive eco-consciousness,
(0)-sum rooted
and harmonically balanced
with 4 equi-dimensional nature’s full-frequency
octave informed energetics.

Cooperative Revolution

Ecology is to natural systemic relationships
as economics is to human natural systemic transactions.

Economic values are an anthrocentric paradigm
for ecological thrival of the cooperative fittest.

Imagine that evolution is an investment in our cooperative pilgrimage
from Elder generations, genes, and species,
toward a shared destiny.

Imagine the purpose of evolution is to learn:
where this cooperative economy is heading,
why synergetically positive relationships are healthy,
when permaculturally reiterative communication strings
stretch through perennial cycles of life.

If we imagine,
with Buckminster Fuller,
that universe,
universal intelligence,
universal information,
incarnation,
cause-effect and multisystemic stimulus-response,
emerge from a past diastatic Black Hole
Big Bang
(0)-Core Soul center,
a polycultural God-Root System
purposing away, out from that Alpha Point,
then we might move over to Teilhard deChardin’s Omega Point
as the reverse face,
the final diastolic culmination of Beloved Climax Community,
Enlightened Comprehensive Consciousness balancing
Dark Hole’s densely impacted exformation,
once again fully 100% organic permacultural potential
to resolve,
reconnect,
resonate a journey stringing singing stories back
to our beginning of Eco-Time’s recreative consciousness.

The universe becomes smooth-structuring elliptical
from this dynamic balancing view,
zero-centric
zero-summed economy of values,
an ecological learning curve,
beginning with synergetic climax,
ending as fully pregnant Time’s bilateral stretch
AND post-millennial revolutionary return;
nature’s polyteleological
and human nature’s polypathic left-right balancing reflection
of recreative regenerative positive-optimization potential.

If our eco-logic proposes this deductive learning curved question,
our synergetic economy of thrival
through transactional cooperatives,
co-redemptive (0)-sum fittest investments
in Eco-Time’s wise spatial journey
regenerates and decomposes binomial spatial
and bilateral temporal harmonic Right-brained answers.

An evolutionary positive permacultural trend
predicts a revolutionary synergetic economy
replacing Left-Brain dominant culture’s competitive win-lose hypothesis
with Right-Left balanced optimization of thermodynamic electromagnetism.

If the positive appositional trend to negentropy
is “synergy,”
then the oppositional polarity to binomial decomposition
is fractally regenerative seasons
and strategies
of positively deviant revolution.

Eye Contact

What is love?
A sea of nonexistence
both tranquil and calamitous
where the mind
does not dare enter.
(Rumi, M. Mafi, “Day By Day”, p. 120, 2014, Hampton Roads)

What is timeless synergy?
Our sea of coexistence
both confluent and dissonant
where blind consciousness
seldom dares id-entify.

Aging time,
This house, not home, hums and strains pitchy tension,
Remnants of bleached but dingy historic laundry,
face cloths remember cherished warm skin,
dryer in winter’s discontent,
more needy of enduring compassion.

Staring through my mirror now,
I reach back into black glazed pupils
diastolically expanding through their memory archives,
four grandparents staring back
through this sagging reflected face,
each one looking through these same bicameral Black Hole
Home’s binomially eternal windows,
imagining forward for grandchildren’s sustainable future lives,
remembering backward through these four grandparents.

I know this visual DNA looking out and back
and through our mutually cooperative investment generations,
sometimes more dissonant,
sometimes less confluently mutual mentors,
bicamerolling partners,
but at least on occasion syncing their cooperative praxis,
or this interdependent coredeemer face could not stare back
through time.

Aging rapidly now,
back toward messianic mystic shamans.
Where were these DNA-drenched pupils
of mutual subsidiary bicameral learning
expanding and contracting,
causing hearts to race and calm,
breath to gasp and slowly subsidize
this atmosphere of longing to belong ago
again?

Were these wise mentors hopeful ancient mariners,
swimming through generations of salty tears,
wet fears and joys,
jumps and starts,
swelling farts
feeding trees to synthesize our polyculturing breath?
Listening for, noticing a new millennium,
era,
life,
perennial cycle,
season of organic permacultural development,
more permanently encultured
with fertile light and sounds
and Time’s regenerating rhythms of dancing songs and thumps,
surfs and silent advents.

Speaking,
perhaps these pupils speak of what they see reflecting
back through karma’s cumulative incarnations,
each grace of opportunity for mindfully inclusive redemption,
love as synergy,
dissonance as hate, violence, neglect, dismay, heartbreak,
unsustainable loss of life
to fly and swim together
or fall apart
back through plasma flows and folds,
regenerating
informating these deep learning pupils
looking, searching, noticing, decomposing,
seeding, growing, guarding, developing,
incubating, harvesting, winnowing nutrient compost
through ancient primal roots
of RNA’s meaning, regenerating purpose
to keep evolving forward through Time’s unfolding information
incarnation, as possible,
avoid revolving backward into meaningless
mindless dissonance,
competition,
dominator violence,
and decaying entropy.

Pre-historic now,
our pupils reflect darkly dense regenerative study,
decomposing wispy wet winds and whips of swimming eco-seas,
surfing pregnant prime love relationship
of right and left enculturation
remembering Yin greets Yang’s dominant deductive proposal
with mutually subsidizing solidarity,
cooperation,
investing in binomial future’s redemptive ecology.

Ancient bicameral ellipticals,
mutually mindful Yang with Yin
looking out and back,
and in and positively forward through Time’s ubiquitous consciousness.
Primal evolutionary ionic self-mirroring,
regenesis,
ever aging eternal moment
of dense strung solidarity
remembering,
recollecting,
reconnecting NOW
from past genetic heritage
through future’s evolving incarnation.

Timeless pupils of love’s synergy
surfing seasons of pre- and post-existential consciousness.

Now if I could remember where I left my glasses,
and my teeth…

Hunger Management

Variations on a Punishing Theme

When people are hungry and at risk of homelessness
despair
wilting and climatic yet chronic extinction,
It is because their administrators and developers,
incubators and technical assistance providers
grantors and lenders
representatives and public sector officials
absorb too many investments and nutrients
for their own mouths and mortgages,
sleeping soundly at night
unaware of how their CQI intentions
economically and ecologically miss their orthopraxis mark
of solidarity and mutual subsidiarity,
of redeeming the bedtime and nutrients
they intended to invest in those with greater need.

Therefore the self-oppressive unruliness of hungry homeless people
Is due to over absorbent interference of well-intended practitioners
expert administrators
senior consultants.
That is why dominated marginal monoculturalists of poverty
are so dissonantly unruly.

Chronically at-risk people are not afraid of death’s dissonance
and entropic trends,
Because they are anxious to survive,
to build life; not so much death and perpetual advent.
That is why wilting lives are not afraid of macrosystemic death trends.
It is mutual-mentors who invest in cooperative living
That incarnate wise evolution of deep ecologically balancing lives.

Self-composting toilets
have surprisingly greater value
to people without a pot to pee in
than self-composting banks.

CoRedemptive Miracle

If you are asking me to forgive you
for being born human,
for the sins of making ignorant,
and often habitual,
mistakes of judgment and understanding,
for your lack of compassion and empathy,
for your cognitive and affective and effective dissonance,
for your part in our shared investment
in a cultural pool of violence,
mutual domination assumptions of win-lose logistics,
both intentionally and accidentally causing yourself to suffer,
others to suffer and become angry,
and hate,
and despair,
and wilt,
and develop climate-control issues,
and extinguish;
if you are asking me to forgive you
for sometimes doing more than your fair share of mayhem,
then of course my answer is “Yes!”

Especially if you might forgive me
for the errors of my pathological ways.
If this could be a cooperative double-binding kind of transaction
of mutual forgiveness for sins already committed
and those still on their way,
then this might serve a mutually redemptive dynamic,
as well as mutual mentoring cooperative investment
all in one compost pile of coincidental enrichment.

But, while this is all fine and good,
you do not need my fore-giveness
nor can I participate in your redemptive investments
of life,
of time,
of resources,
of positive healthy sustainable relationships,
in your stead,
nor you in mine.
My capacity to fore-give,
to invest in redemptive right relationship,
is limited not only by my own passioning capacity,
my ability and range of empathy,
but also by your own committed ability to empathize with,
identify fully with yourself,
your significant and also less significant others,
whether human or some other self-organizing
self-perpetuating
self-regenerative systemic form and force of nature.

Fore-giving,
like investment and karmic redemption of pay-it-forward commitment
to future hope of positive relationship,
begins as an internal economy
and grows out into Earth’s natural
systemic ecology of cooperative relationship
intention and practice.
You need not compete for my fore-giveness
any more than you could dominate in earning
what best remains a zero-sum free market exchange
of mutual regard,
and hope,
and trust,
positive investment is also negative disinvestment
from further harm,
mistrust,
inequity,
dissonant dominating win-lose strategies.
This is basic Hippocratic Oath mutual mentorship.

To do no harm
we must at least intend no harm
in actions,
transactions,
practice,
intent,
giveness.
An optimally redemptive economy,
equitable return-to-zero-balance forgiveness
of your investments,
is also a balancing return toward zero-sum win-win ecology of grace.

I can only be your redeemer
if you are your own redeemer,
returning Time’s investment in choosing to continue evolving,
incarnating,
your DNA potential since conception.
We are each coincidental co-redeemers,
redeeming Elder Time’s DNA regenerative investment
in our interdependent,
multisystemic
polypathic prime bicameral relationship
from past generations of Time,
carnating future’s regeneration
of our cooperative id-entity season.

You are your holonic subset
of nature’s informating existence,
conscious of your Time’s regenerating
and dissonant neural memories;
there, fore-given at birth, you know your redeemer lives.

If you’re asking me how I know my redeemer lives,
because my Eco-Time’s cooperative relational
(coincidental) investments
in this ego-ionic id-entity
of left-right neural balance
sing this song of miraculous co-harmony.

Post-Clinical Therapy

So why clinical psychology?
What does that mean, anyway?
What is non-clinical psychology?
Does it mean analytical psychology,
which might mean analogical?
Which would mean ecological?
Which is really just plain logical?

So is it logical psycho-logic,
and wouldn’t that be sort of redundant
because doesn’t psycho-logy mean psycho-logic
and dislogic
neural-rooted consciousness?

So maybe clinical psychology is neuro consciousness
and unconsciousness
and subconsciousness
psycho-logic?
Which might mean the psychologics of consciousness?

But, if this is a science
then the logic of a psychic paradigm
can be no better or worse,
I suppose,
than the rationality of the scientist?

So, does clinical psychology refer to a logical neuro-science
of consciousness?
And, if so, then why would anyone assume this could be systemically dissonant with ecological consciousness?
Why not ecological dynamics of our Interior Landscape?
Clinical psychology as deep ecology.

Redeeming Time’s Investment

He took his morning seat
to hear the Sage’s sonnet,
“On Punishment”:

“The people are not afraid of death;
Why threaten them with death?
Supposing that the people are afraid of death,
and we can seize and kill the unruly,
Who would dare to do so?
Often it happens that the executioner is killed.
and to take the place of the executioner
Is like handling the hatchet for the master carpenter.
He who handles the hatchet for the master carpenter
Seldom escapes injury to his hands.”
(“The Wisdom of Laotse”, Lin Yutang (ed.), 1948, Modern Library, p. 300)

He drifted off and on and in and out
as gathering dusk redreamed:
Enlightening people are not afraid of losing time;
Why threaten them with loss?
Supposing they learn fear of untimely death,
And would seize and kill unruly incarnations,
Who would be wise enough to do so?

Often it happens that prophets are killed
to take the place of omniscient justice.
Redemption of another’s investment
is like handling the wu-wei hatchet for the master carpenter,
He who handles the master carpenter’s trimming points
pruning just discernment and balancing design
Seldom escapes injury to crucified hands.

Jesus was a master carpenter?
Teaching wu-wei design
and fishermanic skills
in a school of fishy men.
His self-optimizing teaching was redemptively mentored,
as is ours,
graduating from dominating executioners of time’s incarnate investments,
to commence mutual-mentoring global cooperative design.

We take each morning’s messianic seat
to invest our wise redemption.

Hiking Home

His thick-soled hiking shoes
tread too loudly
to celebrate time’s homing invitation
to hear and see, feel and smell resonantly hidden diversity
within spirit’s wooded ridge.

He stops to break from sacrilegious pounding
plodding echoes
reiterating through ears attuned for inside voices,
languaged listening and recreation,
amusements excluded from wild nature’s cathedral voices,
receiving impassioned pauses for mutual gratitude,
co-listening,
warning of mindless human natured steps
taken to conjoin this wise-rooted ridge,
enfolding time’s whisper shy adventure
into naturally placing
pacing space.

A darker cloud asks
“What did you and your kids eat today?”

Well, let’s see,
organic honey on pita bread…

“How do you know it was organic?”

It said so right on the glass,
not plastic,
bottle.

“How do they know if the honey is organic or not?
Do they interview or breathalyze each bee returning home?
Do they ask each bee
each time
who this bee has been with?
In that intimate being kinda way,
playing with whose pollen, exactly?
Did the bee stay within her orthodox organic certified playground,
or did she wander off the farm
and free range right into your toxic neighbor’s chemically condomed hydrangea,
or maybe the always too enticing hybiscus,
flaunting her ample skanky wares?”

Well, I don’t know,
I just took the bottles’ word.
I wouldn’t begin to know how to respond to your issues,
about breathalyzing slutty bees
addicted to poison.

“OK, so what else did you feed on today?”

Well, I showed my kids I love them.
I used my please and thank yous
and you’re welcome,
and namaste.

I wished them peace before their baths
and before turning out the light
at night
so they could see stars
and moon slivering through dark.

The neighbors provided birdsong,
especially those mourning doves
calling out their resonate alto fractal coo,
their rhythm and courtship bun-dance.

I fed them massaging back rubs
and hugs
and shoulder squeezes,
gentle taps on knees and elbows.
I stroked their drifting drowsy heads
from frontal lobes toward brain stem.
My fingers rubbed between each totem
in their forceful flowing chi-spines.

I fed them sad and silly songs
and mindful ho-ke-po-ke.

We fed each other love stories
of romance,
sadness and despair,
fear and anger,
passion and grace;
absorbant synergetic stories,
well told and worn
from dawn’s redress
through dark’s red-blooded thumping night.

We are what we absorb,
both before our days
and after all.

His thinner-sole shoes
retread more softly
celebrating home’s invitation.
