Just in case there’s any doubt

I am not motivated by plaudits

Or any sovereign sense of my own superiority

.

On the contrary

My primary feeling

In the zero-point vacuum of my heart -

My innermost receptivity -

Is compassionate concern

For this human world

And its natural neighbourhood

…

‘You don’t want to end up here’

My father said

With mournful eyes

After years of striving

To make his mark

Undermined by lack of dare

In a world where reckless wins

And caution misses out

.

I took his words to heart

As I set out on my way

…

What makes us miss out

What we need to include in our minds

To make life worth living -

Loving, caring, joyful, creative, understandable, sustainable -

A gift to be received, nurtured and passed on

In continuous relay

And instead treat life as a quest

Against all odds

For supremacy…

I am here

Always

Bathing you

In my receptive, omnipresent stillness

The silent calmness within and all around

Your agitation

.

I am no threat to your existence

I am here for you

Not against you

Calling you this way

To be as you become

.

See me, feel me…

A manifestation of the mutually inclusive relationship between receptive spatial influence and energetic current in all material forms

What is it that holds together

What would otherwise drift apart

If not an innermost receptive call

To all around

To come into circulation

In confluent formation dance?

.

A call that…

All that remains

When all’s been said and done

Is what’s always been here

And always will be

.

The vast presence of absence

Endlessly calling for attention

Waiting to burst into life

At the strike of a light

.

Endlessly forgotten

By the clamour of inattention to innermost receptivity

…

The Essence of Regenerative Sustainability

What is natural organisation, how does it arise and how is it sustained or lost?

You might imagine that this is a question to which modern evolutionary, thermodynamic, social and complex systems theories would have the answer well sussed. …
