ReWeaving EarthTribal Peace

Radicals of PostMillennial Zeroism,
like Fundamental PreMillennial Taoism:

YangMind,
severed from YinBody,
falsely promises
unmitigated monopolistic political omniscience
and monotheistic economic omnipotence.

YinBody becomes spiritualized-denatured
empty womanized
invisibly purged
recessed
depressed
repressed
suppressed
voiceless
powerless,
eco-normatively absent
lacking positive nutritional flow trends,
panentheistically dormant.

Just as Holonic Spirit/Nature abhors vacuums of appositionality,
insides divorced from outsides,
there is no such physical dipolar divide
as either of these bipolar metaphysical extremes
might imagine

just as there is no such thing as Yang MindSpace
without YinBody’s bilaterally evolving sensations
of not ANGRYpast and not FEARFULfuture
panentheistically omnipresent -(-0)
co-passionateMind/pleasureBody
peace-full NowTime +/- 1
midway in-between
polymathic polynomial equity.

And, their divinely humane ecopolitical stage
balances MidWay Wu Wei
issuing advent of M.L. King’s (et. al.)
non-violent powers of love

Beloved Climaxing CoPassionate Community/Communication,
Health/Wealthy Indigenous Wisdom Family,
organic/sacred EarthTribal Peace,
and any other polypathic/polyvagal
eco/neuro-logical
bilateral YANGformation YINflowing system
we might care to nondualistic bicameral wealthyMIND
and polyculturally healthyBODY
co-arise together

Like a primal positive
peaceful co-relationship
between monotheistic FatherSun’s enlightenment
and panentheistic EarthMother’s empowerment

Renewing
reconnecting
reweaving
re-ligioning

wealthy plutocratic YangMind’s
sacred omniscience
healthy democratic YinBody’s
organic omnipotence

Regenerating
bicamerally nondualistic omnipresence

RePresenting a choice
deeply felt within each Sage/Muse soul
between win/lose 0-sum Business As Usual,
continuing irreligious anthropocentric retributive wars,
or re-ligious EarthTribe
restoring win/win
+1 = -(-0) polynomial peace:

For both Radicals of PostMillennial Zeroism
and Fundamentalists of PreMillennial Taoism

OldWhiteMan Imaginations

MetaPhysical minds
find faith in wealthy synergy,
where multiculturing bodies
have experienced hope
for sacred Earth’s healthiest
indigenous integrity.

MonoTheistic minds,
not so much;
more monoculturing bodies
experiencing supremacy
of Great White Father
jealously
and zealously reborn
in AnthroSupremacist mirrors,
images,
iconic
and narcissistic,
Earth subjugating
imaginations.

Embracing AnthroSupremacy

Dearest,
I know we agreed
to practice stretching our compassion
to include those we actively loath,
and I have been trying
but…

Yes, I know,
it’s difficult to out-trump Trump’s
apparent toxicity,
with benign integrity
without appearing morally comatose

So,
what have you come up with?
maybe it could work for me as well.

When my Republican friends
ask me for feedback,
which happens maybe…
…well, never
I go with

I have noticed that Mr. Trump’s
intelligence
and his generous talent for ignoring hypocrisy
are unimpeachable.

Which could mean
his lack of enlightenment
and his lack of integrity
are not, in and of themselves,
impeachable offenses

And it could mean
his sinister affective intelligence
and tenacity
remain unquestioned
by other self-righteous
Patriarchal Capitalists

As they speak amongst themselves
inside EarthTribe’s
Straight White Privileged
Men’s Room.

After the RightWing Bullying Event

I woke up feeling better today,
in a post-trauma kind of way.

This prompts me to give priority to gathering notes
with supporting documents

And, of course,
to baking for the social in two days.

I don’t think my Attorney needs any further evidence
for a late-October hearing.
I suspect that when the Bully
reads our Attorney’s Corporate letter,
my need for a hearing
will quickly dissipate.

For some reason,
this She/Bully needs to read
ruminate
RabbitHole cold
hard Patriarchal-Capitalist
retributive justice lessons
speaking CORPORATE ATTORNEY language.

It would, of course, be much less expensive and traumatic
to restore nonviolent communication

Endorsing normal
civil-adult humility
of being quick to say,
as our mother’s taught us,
so they wouldn’t be raising no bratty kids,
“I’m sorry”
and, outside, to others,
“I forgive your temporary insanity”
And, inside,
“Thereby foregive my past excursions into temporary insanity
on a bad
RightWing offensive
day.”

All of which seems to suggest,
as the brownies cool,
that ecocidal ideation,
rather than inspired by warm
boundlessly inclusive
free forgiveness
cooperative win/win
sacred EarthTribal
Yin-tegral compassion,

Teaches win/lose
patriarchal-capitalist
cold
hard
and expensive ATTORNEY-speak
LeftBrain UberYang-dominant lessons.

Transition Town Time

It was E. B. White
who famously lamented

Waking each morning
feeling prevented
from improving
his worldview experience

Or waking each morning
feeling joy
for improvements made
during views of Earth
sacred smack in Her
other wise dead head
inexperience

Or something
probably not so involved
but with the same
missing the potential
for

Waking each morning
committed to enjoy improving
my co-invested worldview
sacred health-humored
wealth of experience.

But not in a preachy
judgment way,
more of a cosmic beauty
sacred green holonic
kinda open wholeEarth systemic
sort of win/win play

More trauma-informed
by advocates
for green cooperative
deep learning non-violent communication
ecofeminist EarthTribe Day
and Transition Town Time
for restoring resilient EarthJustice.

Another Storm

Another storm threatens to come in,
feeling my responsibility
for uncaring
and unresponsive history

Fearing you
more than loving us

Setting out your pails
and plastic tubs
to catch cold
and dreary drips

Impaled remembering
past wet enemies
becoming darker spots
as moisture threatens,
building mold untold
as yet
by angry lips

Dripping windowed frames
and ceiling fixtures
of your felt losses
not equally carried
by more comforted me
opaque with tender crosses

Buried
in how lonely
love can feel
hidden in Earth’s evolving top,
improbable to see

Our together threatening
leaky roof may drown,
which you would have fixed
some months ago,
if you could do so
on your own.

This storm pauses
and brighter rays suggest
a sun still shining
behind dark uncivil distress

Clouds could uncover
our disassociation,
poor and hovering
coveting a sun-drenched nation

Calculating our cost in cash,
but not in minds and bodies
to stop stormy smothers
of inside raining
draining issues,
deep core tissues
thundering crash

Warning we must get this done
before another wild wet storm
fearing you
more than loving us,
undone

Darker clouds build to leak again
while I explain why
you still can’t trust me
to invest in unstormed peace

A contenting roof
unconditionally done

So all EarthTribe
can safely put away our pails
and nails,
defensive weapons,
buckets,
overflowing pans
and spans of climate panic

Now rumbling receding thunder
of fearing you
more than loving us

Turns toward replacing damaged health,
repriming stains repainting wealth
of more warmly wild respect
while together musing
about who is bare surviving
and is not thriving
with what prestorming care,

Remembering who is dry
and fair
and prosperous
and why
we fear this tragic storm
more than loving weathered warm.

The Mural Project

Education Secretary Ellen,

Some of us
on the EarthCare Team
and also the Transport Solutions Committee
for special projects
are wondering
and, frankly, hoping

Your green STEAM students
and teachers
might research,
design,
and help residents paint
a historically accurate
AND polyculturally exquisite
series of murals

On our two-tiered
upper, more transcendently hopeful,
and lower, more historically faithful,
retaining walls

After our crumbling concrete parking pads
and steel-framed industrial artifacts
are hauled away
with respect and gratitude
for future repurposing

Our Transport Solutions
and EarthCare Elders
hope to use this transitional moment
to divert water runoff
to north and south bermed
and graceful descent
down toward our sacred RiverGaia,
rather than continuing to run
race
to disgrace our wet unhealthy basement

Thereby diverting soiled water stains
from historic runoff narrative face
retaining walled epic paintings,
perhaps combined with etching,
to tell a true and beautiful tale
about this sacred place
where we live
and work,
garden
and enjoy our EarthCare classroom
residence,
inside and outside

As did indigenously wise
Elders before us

And RiverGaia
learned Her future shape and flow
from ancient predative
cold
relentless icey white glaciers,

As will future natural construction
and deconstruction regenerators,
Thermal students
of green STEAM polyculturing Elders,
including co-invested us

Learning new Truth
and old Beauty Stories

Of how EarthCare givers
and health-care receivers
survived mistrust
to compassionately,
nonviolently
exquisitly thrive together
more better
than apart.

Witnesses to Earth’s Wedding

We
richly green mountains
of germinating
Jeremiah prophetic strength

Before we formed you
in our valleyed womb,
we knew you

Before you came to life
rebirthed
we consecrated your humane species

We witness your
polycultured prophecy
to Earth’s linguistic continents

We transubstantiate
and thereby bless
this sacred grace
taking late summer’s place
in cooperative ecofeminist space

Beyond merely humane reflections
back upon our ancient organic roots
and verdant face

Resisting degreening States
of monocultural disgrace,

Restoring humane humility
before and after
our primal longing
for deeply resonant
resilient co-gravitation

Stronging for a safe
and healthy
Holy Pinnacled
panentheistic race
toward our more therapeutic
rivered valleys

Away from terrifying
mountainous
overwhelming
disenchanted layered stacks
of inhumane trauma,
undivine disgrace.

We witness
this polyculturing faith
in lucid
limned Lucian integrity
undisplaced

Harboring this grass mowed meadow
in-between luminous
latticed fertile mountains
interpenetrating sensory valleys
flowing out
down deep
root systems,
family networks,
Earthly primal grace

Longing to complete
what Father Sun’s enlightenment
celebrates

Witnessing MotherEarth’s
richly responsible respect
uneffaced

ConCelebrating Earth’s matrimonial majesty
co-habitating late summer’s holy
co-empathic witness
of eternal
sacramental weddings

Formed in mountainous wombs
passionately repurposed
played and danced
sung through spoken words
wedding webbed time
unreplaced
in sacred witness space.

Healing With Ivy

Overly familiar with her defiance
patterns of fetal alcohol confusion,
neuro-systemic habits of resistance,

I, the consummate ecofeminist,
was sure my daughter felt
I was shutting wounded Ivy out
when she wanted me
to enter her toxic on-line
stream of Sponge Bob consciousness

When she came to me,
in self-care mode,
while I was meditating
reading
reflecting
writing
breathing deeply in,
then out

One gasp for hope
at a new pandemic time,
searching for one hour
without unmitigated despair
at this unhealthy contagion time,
one calming day at a time,
one therapeutic glimpse at a week,
one unimaginable month,
one lifetime of a year,

One retiring stage,
one quickly ancient life,
one emerging seamless love
at this time.

In exasperation
with her insistent interruption
in my sacred space,
I exclaimed
“Ivy, I can’t take care of you
if you won’t let me
take care of me!”

To which she replied,
“Can I sit here
quietly
next to you?”

I was skeptical,
cynical about cooperative deep breathing
with screaming screen-time Ivy,
but “You may,
if you can”

And so she did
sit next to me
at the head of my bed
where her paraplegic brother slept
post-seizure,

She leaned her black curled head
against my old white man shoulder
peacefully
breathing side by side

And that is how
we resiliently entered
into this passing
evolving
rising and falling,
erupting and disrupting pandemic
of Earth’s green
and sacred
virally emergent
health care.

EarthTribal Abortions

All of the men
and most of the women
I have known
whose most important life-affirming value
is not to be for Earth’s climate health
and is to be adamantly against abortion
of healthy individual fetal life,

Are not motivated by love
of all polycultural
EarthTribe interdependent life’s
organic networking systems
of humane-divine development.

More rigid anti-abortion positions
ironically emerge from confusing
complex interplay
between AnthroSupremacist
LeftBrain monocultural thinking

Supported by white patriarchal
monotheistically hierarchical
RightBrain repressed anxious feelings
that nonstraight
nonmale
nonwhite folks
have always been less empowered
and inevitably more dimly enlightened
about healthy
divinely inspired
ethical values for health-wealthy life.

Those who have blind faith
in AnthroSupremacist righteous values
but less actual experience
of integrity’s personal blessings

Whose lot in less loved and valued life
is to survive win/lose cosmic ecopolitical realities
rather than win/win EarthTribe anticipations
to holy and holistically thrive

Have less healing experience
emerging consistently
multiculturally
from healthy fetal emergence
and from mentally healthy wombed experience
into light of EarthTribe’s co-empathic
universal commitment
to wealth-share
healthcare

Rather than continuing
mindlessly aborting Earth’s green/blue health
as a living
sacred
global
organic system
of divinely humane
compassionate providence

More like a polycultural garden
of healthy polypathic loving Elders
than a hotbed of climatic
dramatic
mutually abortive hate.
