Innocence

Children fill in leaking emotional cracks
in home and family’s nurturing support
with deaf and blind lies
of eternal ever after
nursing happiness

Democratic healthiness
grasped quickly
before autocratic adolescence
turns down our brighter light.

WeedPatch Therapy

What words do we choose to express our ultimate accomplishments,
achieving our healthiest goals,
measuring our most successful outcomes?

Why do these words,
and our feelings about these choices,
wave in and out of happiness and prosperity,
even when quantitative measures suggest our resilience
continues to trend up and out toward infinite resonance?

We say we could become anything,
but do we mean we might achieve everything,
every power,
but not necessarily any time or way we choose?
How does WinWin associative integrity
accommodate WinLose dissociative history?

Integral PolyCulturists,
global environmental wealth therapists,
holistic health practitioners,
favorably contrast polycultural climax
with monocultural collapse
into rabidly aggressive “weed” patches,
where “responsible owner”
investment “planner”
intelligent “controller”
master “gardener” you
imagined your organically healthy
and sacred-beauty wealthy
well-groomed and wellness-inviting front yard–
rather than an uninvited cancerous infestation
where you intended to extend your healthy ego identity.

We might hope to become more adept polyamorous achievers
by acclimating to less anthropocentric monopolistic aspirations,
competitive Anthropocene climates of self-inspiration
too privileged to care about other-expiration

win/lose survivalist desperations
becoming uncontrollably messy “weed patch” subclimates,
stubbornly monolithic

EarthNatural disgrace
defeating HumanSpiritual grace
of concomitant eco-trust and ego-faith
in cooperatively resonant
win/win well-being resilience

ReCognizing ego’s always limited
co-empathic feelings

Healthy anthropocentric neurosystems
don’t require unwealthy Anthropocene ecosystems
anymore than good love-life days
require bad fear-death nights

Measuring out divine successes
and inhumane failures
day by day,
decade by decade,
life against life survival contests,
invidious “weedpatch” comparisons,
virtuous win/win AnthroMind/EarthBody contrasts,
each and all co-arising
polycultural integrity’s nondualistic potential.

Yet, like Yangish competitive AnthroEnlightenment
over all Lesser Othered-Lives
and Yin’s gooier cooperative co-empathic win/win powers
with Others,
these opposing bilaterals
are also dynamically recycling appositional revolutions

Neurosystemic health within
as ecosystemic wealth without
co-intelligent exchange,
searching for words and deeds
to optimally extend pronoia’s tensegrity
sacredly resonant synergy
organically resilient neuro/eco-therapy,
softly contentious sustainable contentment

Peace through EarthTribe solidarity
and cooperatively-held flexibility,
in-between victimization and virtualization,
in-between LeftBrain doer verbalizations
and RightBrain feeler harmonizations,
in-between monotheistic Anthropocene optimization
and polytheistic EarthCentric integration

An omnipotently
and omnipresently complex neuro/ecosystemic
win/win contentment
and yet often feeling win/lose transitionally chaotic
contentious

An overwhelmingly monolithic “weedpatch” of despair
further polarizing any active hope
of middle-ground integrity’s
AnthroMind/EarthBody repair.

With healthy democracy tools
for front lawn re-landscaping,
monocultures begin to feel like painful resources,
artifacts of pleasure passionate polyculturing Elders

With trust and good-faith wellness
co-governing more ecosystemically wealthy
and neurosystemically healthy
Anthro-crown/Earth-root therapeutic
inter-religiously resonant
and multiculturally resilient
thriving love-life futures.

What looked like monopolistic alien powers over little benign-ego me,
begin to also feel like restoring peace opportunities
with what remains from our former shared polypathic
NeuroAnthroMind/EcoEarthBody co-empathic
passion/pleasure
mind/body therapeutic depolarizing co-identity

ReWeaving promise,
never beginning re-ligious omnipotence
and ever ending dissociative omnipresence,
timelessly wealthy
front lawn win/lose “weedpatch” reseeding
healthy win/win spaciousness.

CoPassionate edible trust
with ornamental beauty pleasure
enlightening resilient climate Nature
continuously co-arise
old composted death
into new life change,
but these are transitions
that have historically favored multiculturally democratic health
and disfavored autocratic “weedpatch” pathology.

All robustly polycultural landscapes
lead to a more globally wealthy Home,
but AnthroPrivileged LeftBrain liberating verbal intelligence
chooses which directions to healthy-democracy walk
and which to unsafe-autocracy avoid

and when it’s time to win/lose contentiously pick up
and to win/win contentedly slow down
our WholeEarth peace-making pace

Calmly anticipating
leaving no anthropocentric weedpatch behind
monotheistically uncared for
and panentheistically neglected.

Circling Public Squares

Divide and conquer debates
favor win/lose competitions
as sometimes vicious over-investment
in defeating healthy democracy
to conquer public-square power space
not particularly sublime

While compassionate discussions
favor win/win cooperation
as virtuous co-investment
in green communion
circling co-empathic sharing time

Becoming complexly nuanced
beyond any tolerable hot red point
of static Business As Usual stuck
redundantly building stale uniformity lists
from LeftBrains preferring to hear
strong straight white self-defense
protagonist voices

Drowning out Other
while dragging out streams
of degenerating non-communication

Unhealthy anthro-supremacist
viciously polarizing
and repolarizing

Dissociating and ruminating dark rabbit holes
for hiding capital competing heads
while our ecocidal ideations destroy
fragile health care systems,
insurance and natural defense industries
food and potable water production and preservation
and water-front real estate values

Further dividing
and polarizing debates
favoring winner survives all competitions
and vicious viral over-investment
in defeating healthy democratic trust
to conquer public-square power space
by fostering active distrust of Other,
not particularly sublime

While more regenerative discussions
favor win/win ecofeminist cooperation
as virtuous co-investment
in green communion
circling compassion’s sharing time.

Roots of Worship

My roots of Creator worship
are fed and watered
by Creation appreciation
and curiosity

Whether this might also be true
and sometimes disappointingly false
for you

A resonantly sacred
sometimes prophetic
heart

With a resilient
health developing
ecosystemic mind

For whom my tricky part,
or one of many
as I recall…

Furtive sidewind glances
to my youthful left

Where he sat
in his magnificent
thick stacked darkness,

My closet worship thing
is impossible to come out
with perfect timing
with someone I am powerfully,
intoxicatingly, enraptured by
with
within
and preferably not without

Yet have no hope or intention
of ever being naked
or even transparent,
and certainly not vulnerable,
within his sight and hearing.

If said out loud,
then unveiled too soon
to not cause unwanted predative
seductive concerns.

If not said too soon
then inevitably disclosed too late
to retain resonant
and resilient trust

No hidden agendas,
no closet colonizing cases,
no aging platonic relationships
continuing to work
and play better
in just right silence
of unseen
unheard
unfelt
untouched emotions
without attaching motions

Back through roots of Creator worship
fed and watered
by Creation appreciation
and thick stacked curiosity.

Dominating Capitals

Competitive capitalism
is about dominance,
which increases separation,
space between Winner haves,
and Loser have-nots

Degenerating into polarized views
more culturally dominant
than old-school cooperative middle
in-between
socio-economic median disappearances

Away from civically active democratic imagination,
focus,
functionally experiential frames
favoring cooperative democracy
over capital plutocracy.

Democracy is about win/win bicameral consensus
which grows integrity
between co-investing Haves
and HaveNots,
depolarizes our EitherHave/OrNotHave
eco-politically valued lives

Mediating in-between re-membering,
reweaving multigenerational cooperative
matriarchal empowering history
of mutually enlightening democratic health care

Through cooperative ownership
stewardship
citizenship
home and meal management
integrity of co-responsive thought and feelings,
polycultural communication
and multicultural energy systems

Refracting integral re-MEMEory
left-hemisphere empowering
right-hemisphere energetic win/win
neurological waves of light.

Masters of Association

“My decision
is not any negative reflection
on you.
It’s not personal.”

This would be a Business School graduate,
meaning, if it is personal,
then it is not political or economic.

“It’s your decision,
for you to personally
and responsibly make.”

This would be a Social Work graduate,
or maybe some variety of therapist,
recognizing that what is personal choice
is also political, empowering or disempowering,
and possibly economic investment or divestment.

What is personal,
like what is political,
is about power
and vested interest,
even if short-term.

“Our decisions
about who runs for office,
who votes which way,
who nominates whom and why,
are matters of individual conscience.”

If this statement
is made by someone in political office,
who knows?
Maybe s/he gets it
that personal is also political,
that individual organic corporations
are also economic actors and investors,
or not.

So, what do you think?
What is your personal preference?
The Business Party view,
segregating personal faith
from political powers of relationship,
influence,

Or the Social Worker model
of power analysis,
individual through global,
competitive through cooperative,
personal through ecopolitical.

I suppose this is at least one reason,
my Republican colleagues,
when I was in a Master of Public Administration (MPA) program,
found the cultural distance
from a Master of Business Administration (MBA) program
subtle
opaque
unclear
ambiguous;
while the Democrats
and Green Party students
found differences between MPA
and MBA cultures
profound,
cooperative v competitive,
looking for Win/Win resonance
as opposed to searching for Win/Lose
ZeroSum endless growth of market share.

If all organic energy systems
are also ecopolitical communicators,
then we all have ecotherapeutic opportunities;

Some great,
some small,
but all one moment,
one message,
one relationship,
one rhetorical association
at a personal political time.
