Deep Valleys

Perilous fall risks
these double-binding thoughts
with feelings still nascently attached
positive and negative,
often complexly ambiguous
as an old variegated sock
chew toy

Stumbled over in emotive colored sequences
contrasting tasteful language
comparing visions sweet and sour,
bland touch not grand
but better than feeling bitter
qualitative resonant/dissonant scales
of magnificent maleficence
and malicious magnificence

Narrow
overflowing personally compelling
dispelling private passions
remain within a high and wide
yet deep and narrow
multigenerational polyculture
of co-empathic compassion

To heal sacred MaternalEarth
and thereby correlate
all Her multiculturing
divinely languaged
singularly health-hearted
dizzying slip-shod business

Positive and negative
universal uniting
and severing
ecopolitically co-invested emotions

Eco-logically restorative
climate resilient growing
peaceful co-messymanic valleys
of resonant reconnection

As reliable as an old
hand knit pair
of variegated socks
before repurposed
as sacred scented chewtoys.

Love’s Sufficient Time

I can accept that love
I have time to learn
and earn

But
can I embrace compassion
I feel sure appreciates me
far more wisely
than I have earned?

Positive passions more pleasant
than I could ever find sufficient time
to brilliantly learn

My adoration spot
on this comedy central
AnalRetentive Stage
listing
lusting
more Left Winged
liberating
than Right Singed
defensively sedating.

I am haunted
by an oppressively disabling gap
between what I have sufficient healthy time
to accomplish
to communicate
to experientially articulate
as anemically contrasted
to all I can imagine health
and safe wealth doing
togathering in this day,
this week,
this month,
this year,
this final decade
of my personal AnthroGay Pride
and WhitePrivilege
to prefer Black Lives MultiEnculturing Matter
and wild Paradise
PolyCulturing Pleasure

Win/Win bi-everything trans-thriving
positively contagious
as the clap

On a loved ones back
is my gay worldview sound
of one left hand liberally clapping
out FreeDom
ReStorative Justice
Love

Between my NonViolently WinWin Communicating
brothers and sisters

LeftBrain verbally dominant
claiming Peace
I nonverbally feel
RightBrain left outside
closeted gay emotional neglect

In my polyculturally wise universe
feeling all EarthMother’s love,
Polyester is always Lose/Lose trauma
bad news drama
while
PolyPathic Win/Win
evokes sacred warm
wet 1 within 0 zen rivers
of deeply penetrating gospel

Good regenerative humor
despite toxic rumors
that my indigenous EarthTribe
intentional family
and trauma-infested community
are suffering from an overheated climate
of monoculturing dementia

Increasingly difficult to recall
the love we have had time to learn
is earned one timeless
warm remembering moment
always liberally Here
as time conserving Now,
unconditionally warm
well-moisturized regard

For healthy hygiene
is next to wealthy
goddessness

A gay gratitude gift
more than sufficiently
out proud
well endowed.

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
is also health is also wealth
is also bicameral balancing options
for bi-curious co-empathic
communicating operations

For win/win longing nations
and tribes
and species to rebound from this precipice
thrusting forward further secularizing
decontextualizing
monopolistically monotheistic
Earth-desecrating AnthroSupremacy

SelfAppointed Sacred Rights
to play anthropocentric win/lose games
against co-passionate MotherNature’s HolyCene

Remains unhappy
with dogmatic rightwing Straight MonoTheistic Defensively
Patriarchal-Capitalist entitled White King’s English
for re-interpreting Her MiddleEastern eco-political narratives
and wisdom literature
and natural/spiritual
physical/mental nondualistic poetry

Monoculturally misappropriated
if not also sensed
internally sacred panentheistic

Promulgating polyculturally robust
creolizing values
not whatever transcendent hierarchical
colonizing disvalues
patriarchally privileged
monotheistic
misogynistically vengeful
extractively punishing demonic
dark lose/lose degenerative WuWay

The opposite of truly free
to healthy choose
Earth’s final sacred Revelation

Rather than stuck in dogmatic
God’s static never-changing word
Hell that burns in an eternal fire
of LeftBrain weaponed words

Yet, Earth will eventually Lose
capacity to support Win/Win juicy life
as we have outgrown Her

Yet, we need not hurry
trauma and win/lose stress
and environmental resource wars along,
distracted by inability to learn
global climate pandemic lessons

There is no resilient health care
for humans
without resonant wealth care
from nonhumans

Reclaimed a sacred WiseWoman
from her PostTraumatic Teacher
and PsychoDynamic Preacher
actively seeking EcoPolitical Win/Win Leaders

To re-member Whole Open EarthTribe’s sacred
historical experience
struggling with restoring
and restorying
entropic closed
secularized EarthScientist Demise

Yang’s LeftBrain privileged
monoculturing
lack of bicamerally balanced
health communicating
resiliently wealthy
post-traumatic win/win
curiously active LeftThought,
but not negatively reactive RightFelt,
bipartisan co-mediated experience

If I could teach you my differences,
sometimes beat down with distortions,
in-between fundamentally certain
of Either/Or Left
hopes also for Both/And Right co-passions

Yes and No
Stop and Go;
and almost never 0-sum
lack of panentheistic healing soul

As we also faithfully know
indigenously wise
sacred gifted reasons
for secularized
natural shifting seasons.

Digesting Integrity

My stomach
and lower core communionations
hope for some further feeding
consuming way
to not merely tolerate
but gratefully digest
what my gut
won’t easily
organically appreciate
and comfortably eliminate

Can only traumatically depreciate

Has trouble resonantly ingesting
what eyes and mouth
salivate to masticate

Chewing
swallowing massive trauma
to consumers so enlightened
and healthily empowered
we cannot bow
to southern fried chicken-wing
mighty bite makes digestive right
toxic dogma

Confused by preachy facile spirits
inexperienced with peace digestive therapy

Not ingesting further
poison punishments

Blames
and shames
against restoring strong stomach
and deeper digestive innocence

Unconditional regard
for nutritionally healthy
nurturing
natured grateful spirits

Long experienced souls
avoiding win/lose congestion
indigestion
by choosing win/win
cooperatively immaculate re-conceptions

Well chewed
and communally swallowed
bread and wine
of full-bodied
root health chakra
of neuro-sensory communion

Anticipating panentheistic
wealthy
sacred pre-inceptions.

Bruising Words

Words too often have rough edges,
bloody histories,
lines more defined
than relentlessly imaged cliffs,
worshipping sacred sunlight shades
of high hazards

Coveted risks
more than needed opportunities
to hard wall wail against wild creations
unmoved by words
without animated calling
longing
belonging
or wooing wilderness

Offending worded weapons
seducing well-schooled tools

Sounds with edges
and without

Opening and closing
edgeless sighing pause

Slowly awaiting surf’s slow
slurried
soft
slavish turn
to reach for shores
absorbing thoughtless
sand-grained
edges.

EarthHealth Justice

Human healthy trust ecological experience,
including wealthy peak sensory transubstantiations,
uniquely recreate Divine sacred co-empathic feelings
of theological confluence,

InterReligious mystical integrity
enveloping what had been felt,
before this timeless temporal metamorphosis,
as a more autonomous egocentric identity.

Theo/Eco-Logical neuro-systemic communication
of inside/outside/sacred-co-inside echoing
co-incidental relationships
reframe compassion’s regenerative processes

Such as indigenous
pantheistic
theological integrity
co-arising shared sacred feelings
of anticipated/anxious sensory longing
for win/win EarthTribal resilient
resonant re-connection
re-ligious Awe
re-weaving Wonder
regenerating peace

Restoring
Re-storying EarthMother past narratives
of pristine
sacred pre-Anthropocene
pantheistic health
is also perennial Golden Rule
co-arising humane climate recovering
bicameral
bipartisan
divinely beautiful wealth.

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.

Was War Worth It?

Asked an NPR journalist
of U.S. soldiers
damaged in Afghanistan
direct fire
for one hundred everydays,

“Was it worth it?”

“I can’t answer that question.”

She asks more hesitantly again
of another veteran,

“Was it worth it to you?”

A good soldier,
“I can answer that question
only as an individual.
It was what our Nation
asked of us.”

Neither the question,
nor the answer,
starts at the beginning.

What were this Nation’s goals?
What were these objectives worth
to our Nation’s interests?
Did we pay more
or less
than that?

Who would dare answer such questions?

With a Yes, of course
the price was right

With a No, of course
life,
like health,
is fathomlessly priceless
miraculous
exquisite
elegant
sacred.

How was your time in deadly conflict
worthwhile to you?
How was it not worthwhile
to you,
your family and friends,
future generations?

What would you have done instead
if your Nation
had not asked this soldiering on
from you?
This calculated exposure to high stress,
anxiety,
environmental toxins,
destroyed property,
collective terror
fear
anger
loss
wounds
death of friends,
allies
other organic species,
death of people you aimed toward
with lethal accuracy.

Why are we civilians
so quick to celebrate
our soldiers’ shared response
to what our governments ask
of our young adults?

Why is “I can’t answer that”
a sufficient answer
to “Was violence worth the price to you?”

But,
when we consider tragedies (despairing comedies?)
for all EarthTribes
from global climate degeneration,

When will curious journalists ask,
Was our violence against terror
worth our peaceful returns?

When will global soldiers ask
and answer
It was what Earth asked of Me
and asks of We,
planting trees and grasses,
healing rivers
lakes
wetlands
organic topsoil,
protecting parched forests
and thirsty endangered species.

What does Earth ask of us?
What are Her public health care goals?
What are these objectives worth
to our resilient EarthTribe interests?

Are we,
as a species,
and as individuals,
paying too much?
Not enough?
Just right with left
bicameral
bipartisan
even-handed bilateral intelligence
for future EarthTribe
wealth optimizing regenerations?

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.

That Troubling InterDependent Sensory Web

I mean,
seriously?

Talk about
boundary issues!

I get it,
why the 7th multicultural value,
and most recent
to finally make it in
to sacred UniversalYang/UnitarianYintegral
iconology,
doxology,
eulogy,
ecotherapeutic theology,
green ecofeminist ecology,
declares our polypathic RESPECT
for our interdependent sacred web
of life
win/win reincarnating love

As in,
could EarthMothers
get a little RESPECT?

Which just might not fail to mention
that AnthroSupremacists are
a one among many EarthTribe species,
one of the more recent ones,
which stands out with our
NaturalLeft/SpiritualRight
dipolar co-arising
win/win neuro-systemic
Regenerative Communication Crowd

As that StraightWhiteMale privileged
overpopulated anthropocentric terrorist species,
that militarized ballistic stinky species,
that predative capitalist extractive species
of anthrosupremacists

Who wouldn’t know a cooperatively-owned
sacred green interdependent
panentheistic web of compassionate
and curious
and therapeutic love life
if s/he walked right up to him/her
and kissed sacred co-empathic MeWe
right on her/his luscious
nutritious lips.

EcoFeminist spiritual experience
interdependently weaves
unweaves
reweaves
economic and political webs of nutritious life,
sexual politics,
sacred polycultural emergence,
bicameral polyphonic resonance
felt balance
thoughtful curiosity
cooperative appreciation
liberal sympathy
trust conserving empathy
compassion
GreenEarth Gaian wokeness
indigenous YangSunLight/YinEarthPower
co-invested wisdom

Remains stronger
in Eastern philosophical panentheisms,
pantheism,
polytheism
polypaths reconnecting thoughts
verbalizing natural/spiritual
outside/inside preferences
for monotheistic voices
making LeftBrain dominant
EitherSaint/OrPredativeSinner
polarizing Inside/Outside choices.

Someday soon
climate trauma
anxiety
rabidity
depression
EarthJustice oppression
EarthPeace suppression
EarthInterdependent RightBrain repression

May engage our cultural curiosity
about why RESPECT for this interdependent web
is a healthy and safe EarthTribal direction,
and yet there are other attributes
we might be wise to actively engage
as well.

I’m also feeling,
“We love becoming engaged
within Earth’s interdependent web of life.”

And I also like,
MeWe co-identity
feels co-passionate
LeftHemisphere Voices
interdependently balancing
a complex HolySpirit web
of panentheistic
sacred
RightHemisphere Inspiring FeltChoices.

We AnthroCapitalists
sometimes respect sacred Earth’s
interdependent web
of Truth and Beauty love,

And sometimes we appreciate
this sacred life,

And sometimes we over-invest
in more short-term compromised
self-righteous defensive lives
more like apartheid
than an interdependent sacred web,

And sometimes we submit
to a didactic
dogmatic web of fake
dissociative
supremacist
chosen people
rightwing or leftwing
anthrosupremacist
monotheistic
monoculturing
bipolar piety.

And sometimes we royally permit
Earth’s wild polycultural experience
to engage
in earliest win/win memories
of embryonic bilateral sensory communion,
nutritional economic networks
of interdependent life.

And sometimes we act out
against EarthTribe survival
as if we believe only the cockroaches
will thrive
in a redhot pathological Anthropocene,
and roaches are our most resilient Elders,

Although, sadly,
perhaps not our happiest
or most liberated
or particularly enlightened progenitors

Well, maybe more consistent
about respecting our interdependent web
of EarthTribe life.

Who knows,
really?

What healthy/safe relationships
cockroaches feel they interdependently need
and cooperatively want.
