Compassion’s Braver Angels

Impressive values,
like love,
claim resources that liberally breed
ecological
natural
physically happy health
and conservatively feed
emotional
spiritual
mentally glad wealth.

Oppressive disvalues
like homophobia and racism
and sexism and ageism
and ableism
and monoculturing disregard
for threats of global anthro-supremacist ecocide,
express what we are against
because these are sources of sadness,
bad health suppressions,
sad impoverishing depressions,
even mad disrepairing
retributive repressions,
investments in revenge,
apartheid demands for militarized retribution,
negative win/lose 0-sum
closed system reparations
repeating historical-monocultural
entrenched distrusted dissociations

Continuing viciously recycling
straight white patriarchal injustices
rather than positive win/win restorations
of positive
herstorical virtue circles,
polyculturally spacious
inclusive webs of EarthMatriarchal Peace.

The proposed 8th prime principle
does not positively promote
therapeutic justice.

Decontextualized focus on what we are against
betrays giving full mindful 4th Principle witness to
our disvalue shadows
against economically exploitive monopolies,
colonizing monocultural trauma,
white patriarchal monotheistic supremacy,
straight cisbinary monotony,
monochromatic anthroprivileged risk
overwhelming Earth’s resilient therapeutic opportunity.

Our health and environmentally safe wellness values
for compassionately mediating our 7th positive principle
breed universal health
and feed unitarian wealth
of sacred EarthMother’s unconditionally warm working web
playing interdependently win/win games
promoting resonantly sentient love lives,
resources,
seeds,
nonviolent wombs
polyculturing sacred communion

Like 8th Principle sperm
universally purposed
to conjoin EarthTribe’s unitarian
green/blue 7th Principle egg.

Our 7th Principle declares our positive joy
for healthy natural life
and wealthy spiritual love
embedded in sacred EarthMother’s empowering web
valuing co-invested AnthroPeace Warriors
co-infested Muses
co-passionate Sages.

Do we need and want an 8th Principle
taking a bold
unprecedented
revolutionary further step
to explicitly articulate what we actively disvalue
as the ecological antithesis
of Earth’s sacred systemic 7th Principle
of a polyculturally inclusive EarthTribe
restoring our sacred green/blue indigenous communion?

I believe our positive principles
of therapeutic health,
happiness,
empowering a wealthy sacred win/win web of polycultural beauty,
enlightened Earth/Anthro balance,
grows non-violently profound neurosystemic peace,
culminating in peak experiences
of our most recent 7th Principle.

And I believe in the synergetic completion
of perfectly pitched 8 octaves
for articulating MuseTherapy Resilience.

When the first photograph
of Earth’s revolving
green-blue living egg-womb
was broadcast back to Earth,
anthro-privilege could physically see Her
sacred healthy wealth
of profound eco-political value,
in Her health-wealthy prime
7th unitarian value
of PolyCultural Communion.

Now, in this new post-millennial Anthropocene,
we already begin to feel threats
of EarthSystemic oppression,
neurosystemic chronic trauma,
EarthTribe depression,
anxiety,
onset of anthrosupremacist remorse,
rabidly defensive denial
of rapaciously incorporated overpopulation,
despair that Win Universal Earth
and Win Unitarian Anthro healthy 7th Principle Consciousness
of herstorically positive indigenous intent
for whole-systemic thrival
too quickly fades,
foreshadowing today’s 8th Principle dispassionate discernment.

If we would dismantle sacred Earth’s historical-monocultural
systemic trauma Oppressors
of organic regenerators
recreating love-life’s multigenerational
PolyCultural Communion,
Then we might choose to restore 7th Principle EarthJustice
by letting go of less resilient
traditional win/lose anthrosupremacist images
breeding neurosystemic dissociation
and feeding toxic disvalues
of patriarchal monotheistic colonization,
monoculturing cisbinary predation,
capital economic monopolization
of therapeutic EarthMother sacred healing values
choosing regeneratively felt win/win
universally open, transparent
and unitarian holistic, vulnerable
ecotherapeutic webbed, nonjudging
nonblaming
nonshaming systems
for restoring PolyCulturing Communion

Thereby dismantling 8th negative anti-trauma disvalues
confronting Anthropocene privileged systems
of history’s monotheistic imaged
patriarchal natural capitalistic maninfested destiny,
a win/lose devolutionary privileged assault
and dispassionate battery
overpowering EarthTribe’s restorative peace
ecotherapeutic resources.

Can Earth’s monotheistic major force
of retributive injustice nature
grieve
and repent
and commit to restore
7th Principle panentheistic wisdom peace
for this,
and the next 7 sacred millennia?

Bicamerally indigenous compassionate minds
want wealth conserving hearts
and need health liberating bodies
to wisely know
life-loving
neurosystemically intelligent
Win/Win 7th Principle
therapeutic opportunities
for EarthTribe sacred healing
AND Monoculturing AnthroSupremacist
Win/Lose 8th Principle
trauma warnings
against further EarthMother dissociative harm

Against impressive values,
reconnecting love,
reclaiming 7th Principle resources
that liberally breed
ecological
natural
physically happy health
and conservatively feed
emotional resonance
spiritual resilience,
mentally glad wealth.

Orthodox v Orthopraxis

Yogi Berra said:
In theory there is no difference from practice.
In practice, there is

Applying this to communication theory:
In nonviolence theory
there is no difference from practice
of win/win compassion.
Yet, in Business as Win/Lose Usual
Patriarchal political monoculturing practice
and Capital monopolistic economic intent
there are no virtues calculated for compassionate communication,
for merciful creolizing political views,
and restorative forgiveness
for matricidal sins
of our StraightWhite Patriarchs

Ignorant about healthy polycultural,
resilient
therapeutic integral relationships
in response to systemic trauma.

Nonviolent communication orthodoxy
enlightens everything
but nothing positive win/win prevails.
Compassion’s transparent and vulnerable win/win practice
unveils every positive relationship
becoming co-empowered
but no one person knows why.

In our EarthRestorative lab,
nonviolent verbal theory
and compassionate nonverbal practice
are bicamerally combined:
nothing win/lose prevails
and every resilient relationship
compassionately feels why
0-sum theoretical assumptions
do not comply
with Earth’s Whole Open Systemic
virtuously therapeutic practice
of avoiding viciously competitive theories.

Valentine’s Day Resilience

Gratitude
for grace already received
is a robust measure of generosity.

Compassion scans for generosity’s fullness
felt within
as incarnated without

As dispassion predicts greed’s anxious emptiness.

Giving is physical and/or verbal
while generosity is mental and nonverbal.

Giving,
like loving,
hoping for a return of grace
within your lifetime’s future,
does not share
or stretch
your gift of generosity.

Giving,
hoping to receive in equal measure,
plus interest,
plus loyalty,
plus admiration for our generosity,
is an investment
which counts the cost
of risking loss

Not necessarily a failure of gratitude,
or love,
for oneself
as for Other,
and also
not an outward compassionate act
of inward
mind-nourishing generosity.

GrassRoot UpRising

Asked the crowning Trees
of their Grass rooting neighbors

When you feel like singing
while dancing
are you more likely to invoke devotion
to capitalism’s competitions
or compassion’s cooperation?

Responsive chords,
amusing reeds
and whistling thistles
shyly reply

When we feel most wealthy voiced
and healthy choiced
are we more likely to invest
in red soiled cults
of secular supremacy
or green cultures
of sacred communion?

MotherTrees of crowning shade
for their root systemic neighbors
flexed their branching muscles
groaning
moaning through Earth’s wind
and rain,
heat
and pain

Our best way to heal
Othering smothering instincts
is to repair our shared cooperative soil
restoring EarthPeace soul
of co-invested health

Thereby growing out
our shared climate
with compassion’s devoted wealth

Sang the crowning Trees
dancing with Grass rooting neighbors.

Migrating Culture Change

Perhaps immigration is our big US national anxiety
because we don’t know how to unilaterally abort
cancerous growth of ecocide.

Too much to even think about
at a merely nationalistic level
of semi-consciousness.

Earth is our shared sacred home
which has begun feeling like a dried out
grass and forest burning
tornado churning
housefire.

No Trespassing signs
of defensive desire
and cutting-edge lethal spirals
of kill and maim designer wire
assert our RightWing
LeftBrain patriarchal predative dominance,
anthro-privileged prominence

While health
and prosperous wealth
and indigenous community farm wisdom
all intend to restore EarthTribal
therapeutic peaceful justice,
nonviolent green communion
for cooperatively co-invested
compassion

Left/Right bipartisan
Universally salvific enlightenment
through co-redemptive
Unitarian empowerment.

Naturally acclimating spiritual cultures
grow anxiously attuned
to global warming
red-hot rabid pathologies

Spiritually co-empathic minds
are systemically seized
by trauma
by EarthMatricide
by rapacious plunder
by extractive predation

Rather than sacred
cooperative
synergetically co-invested
EarthTraveler identity.

If holistic love brings peak experience
memories
Then whole systemic life
is a migrating journey
away from chronic win/lose emigrating risks
and toward emerging
win/win immigrating opportunities.

Climate changing rabidity
includes RightYang v LeftYin hysteria,
patriarchal partisan polarity
dismissing matriarchal wombed
holy holonic wholesome holes.

Migration marchers
singing Never Again”
to weaponized violence
against both young
and old sojourner species

Often judgmentally justified
by divinely-scripted
manifest destiny
written by a monotheistic right hand
drawing a punishing border
in cosmic sand
against our holy uniting spirit
of co-migrating
mind and body compassion

Global peace
paradise found
in restoring EarthJustice health,
environmental wealth

Indigenous nondualistic positive wisdom

peak mind/body

-(-0) = +1
Polynomial co-binary

Concerns that anthro-migrating health
is root 0-soul reliant
on Earth-crowning

Both Left and Right
West and East hemisphere co-passions
anticipate binomial 1/0 adventures
in cooperatively migrating intelligence

Curious about why
immigration is our big First WorldView
national anxiety.

about wandering

Not able to nationalistically abort

My Renegade Sunday School Teacher

Aunt Mary was a small and wiry mother
of six;
four by birth
and two by informal adoption.

She sang in a small querulous voice
yet spoke boldly
filled with loving EarthMother
indigenous wisdom choices.

Aunt Mary was a serenely quiet mentor
and suspiciously happy
Sunday School teacher
in our stern Christian evangelical Bible Church
where divine Revelation
ended with the last apocalyptic
King James chapter.

Closed “Father Has Spoken” inspiration
was not quite so All or Nothing clear
from our Teacher’s polycultural gardener
and permacultural farmer perspective,
with her animal husbandry perceptions
offering a more inclusive Holy Spirit articulating view

Of personal
and communal peak therapeutic experience,
naturally revealing,
spiritually fulfilling
universal salvation
seeking unitarian redemption
finding ever more expansive
universal EarthTribal sensations.

Aunt Mary led our high school class
theological reflections
always in her quiet
compassionate way

A question and respond style
she may have learned from reading Gospel Jesus

The outdoor itinerant Teacher
responding to both hostile
and admiring fan questions

Speaking in Beatitudes,
spoken word Psalms
Proverbs,
impromptu Sermons on Mountains.

“What did Jesus mean
when he said Abba is love?”
I might have asked,
hoping to catch her explaining herself away
from the Patriarchal personal knowledge
our straight
white
good-news privileged preacher
shared from his bully pulpit
about what demonic
not straight
not white
not strong warrior behaviors
God hates.

“Abba is ComPassion”
invites us to become liberal
only in love”
she responds.

This is the reverse side of becoming more conservative
about risky behaviors
and negative attitudes
and demonic platitudes
steeped in hate
anger
fear
greed
narcissism
anthro-supremacism,
ignorance,
traumatic abuse,
and chronic emotional neglect
remaking god into our own dog-
matic worst
bad excuse for a good-news day
degenerative imagination.

“The devil made me do it”
in jest
curiously reminds me of
“Jehovah demands I hate it”
excommunicating those who sin
against my limited
and exclusively safe
peak resonant experiences.

Judgmental
“Violence is mine”
loudly speaks StraightWhitePrivilegedMale
way back in the weaponized Old Testament.

This love we choose
to renew each morning
we often think of as compassion
and Mom-inspired peace
and blissful nurturing light

In contrast to the traumatic night
of a darkened daddy soul

Yet love of God’s creation,
creativity,
music,
musicality,
natural Truth
and supernatural Integrity
of wholesome holonic Spirit,
is also openly
and relentlessly curious

About the depths of Earth’s empowering summer soils
and disempowering winter snow,
About resonant healing
yet also dissonant harming,
About both dawn’s light
and dusk’s revolving night.

Embrace liberal love
of our co-arising bicameral
dipolar appositional`Spirits

And conserve deep disregard
for competing bipolar
oppositional Souls

More clear about which sheep
we must be against
than why God created all sheep
for us to adore

Who define alien Others
by whom and what we are commanded
and reprimanded to hate

Don’t even try to understand
and don’t slow-grow the courage
to appreciate

To become more resiliently curious about
how
and why They/We can
and do love each Other
in some mysterious non-Othering way
beyond LeftBrain dominant understanding.

Liberally love
reform
refine
refinish your human healthy Self
and sacred natural Others
by uniting with whom
and what we love
and faithfully hope to stand.

Explore radically profound courage
to become more deeply
organically
integrally
inter-religiously curious about
how to more resiliently choose

Each mindful day
each inclusive hour
each thoughtful moment
within each healthy relationship,
each communion,
each love song
of liberating compassion

Thereby worrying less about
conserving slow-burning
political dispassions.

Epic Passions

We have come into this epic time
for survivors of dispassion
to age into sacred communion
we can all share,
monotheist
and atheist
and pantheist
and all non-anthrosupremacists
in-between leftbrain snarky leaders
and rightbrain slippery followers
dancing what we must dance,
singing what only we can sing
without a script.

Then comes this communal interpretive space,
profound place
as deep felt meaning
edges into highly thoughtful purpose
to heal
where we can uncover win/win potential
free of risk
and not to further harm
where our healthiest and safest opportunity
continues exploring
where lose/lose despair
fears to trauma tread,
curiously
resiliently not not yet
co-empathic West/East
Left/Right hemispheric
brilliant co-invested balance.

Active pursuit of EarthTribal integrity
to resonantly sing
and resiliently dance
with and for and of MotherEarth
is what I, and we,
are invited to speak of,
listen to,
feel
smell
taste
touch Earth’s paternal evolutions
and maternal revolutions
involving sacred space
doing what all EarthTribes ought to do.

Practice forbearance
as religiously as forgiveness
of self
and other
reasoned egos
and contextually felt
seasoned ecopolitical systems

Avoid strong disparities
between active meditation
and therapeutic remediation
and organic medication

Exchange bipolar separations
for dipolar reparations
between therapeutic music,
wealthy muses,
healthy amusement

Empowering this epic time
for survivors of dispassion
to age into communion’s passion
for sharing
sacred space compassion.

Choosing Love

I feel victimized
by the commercial success
of what was once a silent,
waiting,
watching
for Emmanuel,
Allah WithIn Us

I wonder
when I become red-faced angry
about not being able to CONSERVE
sufficient power to have my sacred way
right now

If this is entirely different
than when I feel disempowered by fear
of losing what
and whom
and when
and where
and why I have chosen
to love too LIBERALLY

Without restraint,
without constraint,
without greed,
without ego-aggrandizing need

Without anthro-privileged boundaries
to loving
divine embrace,
warm
humane grace

PeaceFull face
of sacred EarthTribe,
Divine Beauty,
Humane Unity,
hypostatic Integrity.

Dancing NewYear Divas

EarthTribe dancing divas
still indulge emphatic circling

Resolving EarthDivas
now prancing in space-timed spirals
extending boundaries
to soon embrace love’s immortal

Invoking Emmanuel

If now is your time
in this final threshold
between life
and death,
then this is our passion time,
remembered past
torn from imaged future.

I cannot bear this burden
this loss
this relinquishment of relationship
in which wealth fully invests
in knowing
and growing our love
together.

If now is our time,
I would accompany you
embrace you
full bodied
with these emphatic tears
of sad
sacred gratitude
for all we have been
togathering.

Not needing,
in this transition,
to bear tomorrow’s weight
adjusting to a crippling hole
in my heart,
gaping mind,
useless body
unable to touch you
with voice
and passionate loving choice.

If now is your time
to depart,
then we leave together
as far as our compassionate bodies
our co-emphatic minds
can yet embrace
this eternal
reverent severance space

Slow dancing,
soft breathing
in-between silent mortal dusk
and immortal dawn
of disembodied love

Becoming, already,
and much too soon,
some new emergent rebirth
of divine memories
within

As without,
touched by grace
written across each face
in which I may search
for your cherished trace
of reconnection
to this soulful time
and transition place

Interceding prayers
between daylight’s empowering life
and twilight’s disengaging death
apart.
