A nut
is just a nut
till planted
in robust healthy soil
Soulfully watered
nurtured
fed by solidarity
among sympathetic neighbors
Not necessarily nuts,
yet from this same root
system of passionate EarthTribes
Trees
and seas
and sacred nests
of honey bees
Enlightening
and empowering
nut engaging mysteries.
This little light of mine
I’m gonna let it shine
Wide and longing
for committed dialogue
not surrounded
by elitist debate,
Win/lose games,
Zero-sum asinine assumptions
requiring ego-infested shadows
Resisting win/win opportunities
of healthy
democratic dialogue
Between constituencies,
residents sufficiently humble
to become students together
and unschooled
unprofessional parents
and not totally enlightened teachers
and investigative staff
and neighborhood enquiry co-investors
in this democratic
nonpartisan
Thermos On Thames Experiment.
Where the School for Daily Integrity
hosts community resources
co-engaging win/win resolutions
producing cooperative educational opportunities
to practice
practice
compassionate praxis
nonviolent communication
to restore EarthJustice,
Where co-investors co-invite
contributions around ecofeminist friendly circles
just close enough for everyone
to hear all respected neighbors
who will not be Othered
Because we are learning,
through this pandemic of anxiety,
to anticipate more than climate floods
and fears,
Both risks
and opportunities,
dissonance
and resonance,
chaotic cacophony
and complex symphony
entrusting our capacity
for resilient health and safety
co-governance.
Not another negative
Business As Sadly Usual
competitive ZeroSum game
of wounded ego-survival
until some future small light day
still dimly hoping for big bright
ecosystemic
polycultural
multicultural win/win robust community
Co-mediation
co-operation
co-invested co-dominions
engaging spring EarthDay celebrations
Of locals feeling active hope
and mutually earned trust
predicting environmental ideas
for healing Earth’s injustices
blighting compassionate
nonviolent communication,
which would be more transparent,
risking tender lights
for growing better humored
kindness
Where silence of executives
administrators
managers
means they are deeply listening
for how we can empower each other
through heartfelt consent
And cold dark silence melts,
no longer resisting Truth
to continue postures
of professional
authoritarian
legalistic
quarterly profit-preserving business
without also recognizing long-term threats
of flooding rivers
and subzero icy windstorms.
Straight white patriarchal privileged
incorporated silence means resistance
to sharing inclusive powers
with autonomously dimming lights
Rather than unveiling
wide and bright kindness moving
away from monocultural
either/or debate,
repressing fears about surviving future floods
fears
and famine
Rather than inclusively hoping
to thrive
with good humored faith
in INTEGRAL MARKERS
of democratic health
calling for this circle
to embrace trust-rebuilding
co-empathic engagement
Feeding
and watering each individual’s strengths
and cooperatively held assets
rather than punishing our weaknesses
of fear and anger,
passive mistrust
and active distrust
Further afflicting executive professional disadvantage,
dissociations
dividing shadows
weapons for continuing
White Patriarchal privileged
and disempowered
and unenlightened
talking Heads of lined up Authority
Speaking down,
darkly withholding honest
well-lit encircling dialogue
about our shared health
interactive safety
compassionate wealth
anticipations through actively
engaging transparent dialogue
While sitting around our annual fire circle
celebrating songs and dances
of green ecofeminist healthy lights
inviting yet another safe spring thaw
Inspiring this engaging light of ours
to let our best divine co-dominion
co-investments shine.
I wonder what happened
to deep metric learning
That The Autocratic Man
who cannot even run his own corporation
to benefit a healthier planet
certainly does not know how
to preside over executive functions,
economically empowering
and politically enlightened,
of a safely co-invested Nation.
I wonder what happened
to deep metric learning
ZeroSum rooted Open,
not Closed,
for interdependent systemic business
and transparent cooperative reflection
Both, together, more culturally resistant,
and organic health resilient,
for cooperative historic dialogue,
For feeding and watering
economic deep learning co-investment
and democratically engaging health
flow across timeless eternity
of Earth’s great transitioning
health is green wealth care
regeneration
As contrasted to Yang-Capital strength
of 1-based Closed
entropic
win/lose
zero-sum systems
Requiring EgoCentric dissonant metric assumptions
that autonomy of Either 1-Me
is full spectral empowered
or 0-We is null
and void
and devoid of potential light,
degeneratively nihilistic.
Patriarchal-Capitalist win/lose metrics
favoring RightWing sufficient strength
to survive our endless fear-mongering
through nationalistic war propaganda
is less optimistic
less important
less healthy
less safe
more risky
less Truth also speaking Power
When LeftBrain rabidly exhausted
with evermore StraightWhite industrialized
patriarchally competitive win/lose evolution
toward loselose devolution
sulks in silent
passive-aggressive
non-resolution
While Win/Win Open Systemic
cooperative compassion
stands aside,
waiting for voices
remembering how
to listen for cooperative empowerment
and not so much competitive
absence of RightBrain
artistic
and humane Both/And
nuanced balance
of EgoRisks
for EcoSystemic
Integral democratic Days
And sleep fulfilling Nights
revisioning co-passionate Charters,
engaging Schools
of healthy democratic thoughts
with feelings
co-empathically astute,
acute Both/And bicameral
contextual intelligence.
I wonder why 1 Positive
strong
systemic
rational Polynomial
still mysteriously equals
double-negative not(not)
dialectically null
and devoid of positive content
0 square rooted polymathic

Actively reflecting
under Earth’s regenerously divine
Bod hisattva healing tree
On and for and of

integrally polymathic

dialectical resilience.
You can count on red-hearted me
to always speak
my stupidest questions.
May we never count
our years of silence
hiding our greenest answers
to questions never mutually voiced.
I gladly promise
to stick my brown foot
in your white privileged mouth.
May we walk together
reassured
our mouths are for healing
and our feet
support health care
compassionate wealth of feelings.
I scandalously vow
to hotly drill you
till you
can’t walk straight.
May we always cherish
our warm passion
for sensually heated sacred spaces
mutually scorching
regenerative impassioned places.
If I were a poor woman
I would dance and sing
through basement boogy woogy bars
all these days and nights
of EarthTribe healthy men
Winning
not measured in applause
but absorbing painful bunions
in glad support
of Earth’s healthiest worn-out pause
Performing songs with peace
inviting massive choirs
composing mother muses,
matriarchs of deeply felt integrity
dancing EarthDay’s cause.
Please don’t be mean to me
Don’t shut me out.
Please be kind to me
Don’t blame me
for all this pain about
Please give me a chance
to dance
to different drums
in dialects dissonant,
unknown.
Bless me with a hug
and not a sharpened shout.
Look me in the eye
and tell me
I am worth your time
in sacred space
here free of fear
in night’s angry doubt-filled place.
Please embrace this dignity,
don’t be mean to me,
Take love’s fearsome risk
in vast integrity;
Please, please don’t shut me out…
Invite me in.
What is this thing
called mortal love?
Yet not a Thing
at all
At least a Relationship,
Which, of course,
requires two or more
to adore-fully dance
or, divorcing,
fall
Back into Earth’s green ball
planting and replanting health
without one sign to recall
LeftBrain conserving dominance
preserving StraightWhiteMale prominence
throughout his-story’s clumsy appall
Peace brokers wondering,
How grows this integrity,
felt immortal passion
not not mortally unknown
after bodies
and before spirits
good health natured
co-arising All
These sacred relationships
for Earth’s immortal love
in one dynamic place,
passions springing forth
toward warm best known
recall.
I need to know
if you have seen
or heard anything from me
or about me
that would cause you to hesitate
to hire me full-time
for the next sex worker
and spiritual director
and financial co-investor
position
Opening up
on your personal
and political empowerment team.
I would also like to know
if you have seen and heard,
tasted and smelled,
felt and touched
anything positive
compelling
engaging about me
That would discourage you
from firing me
from my current part-time position
enabling your fears of losing me
to some better
bigger
more powerful,
possibly even somewhat more enlightened
and less angry,
narcissist.
Forgiveness,
like trust
and repentance
and the salvation of heroes
slowly getting back up,
Forgiveness,
of Other
and others
and self,
Forgiving
is not instant,
like a package of oatmeal
or grits,
because growing
and regrowing trust
is a process,
like growing flowers,
blossoming in their
and our own
best time for resilience,
regeneration,
restoring beauty
and peace
Forgiveness,
like repentance
and the win/win salvation of souls,
isn’t all or nothing,
except in those climatic moments
of anger,
when it is nothing,
and except in those climatic moments
of joy,
when it is all
When we are fully engaged
in trusting this place
investing this time
within win/win EarthTribe
mundane sacramental life
Just right
for getting back up
What’s left
for giving Other
yet another chance
to not screw us up.
Victims of Straight

Patriarchal History
are usually not hopelessly unenlightened
and permanently disabled
Ostracized by Self
and/or Others
from healthy democratic
co-redemptionVictims of Straight

Baptized
and medicated

into Truth seeking Beauty,
Sacred Voices seeking Secular Choices
reflecting cooperative EarthTribe’s

The unStraight

are not unPeople
living outside touchable

We have always been inside
Earth’s natural/spiritual mind
nondualistically embodied
economic

Which co-created us
democratic
co-passionate communicators
from past regenerations
toward future generations
seeking wealth-optimizing cooperative health.
Our co-empowering solution
to emotional and cognitive apartheid
is not always forced to colonize vulnerable prey
for failure to rise
to some self-empowered

Overpowering those Others
deaf,
blind,
and voiceless
in superstructures
of echoing monocultural oppression
suppression
negative repression
rather than positive impression;
anxiety defeating anticipation.
Healthier democratic resolutions
can transform win/lose competitions
into win/win cooperative social structures
as We The EnLightened People
of democratic compassion
become organically organized beings
within our health wealthing
EarthCentric Tribes.
Such environmentally transcendent transformation
does disempower StraightWhiteMonoCultural privileged
monochromatic views
of monotheistic
autocratic
secularizing Purpose
Divorced from sacred democratic Meaning,
attenuating resilience
and resonance
with marginalizing
disenabling

of Might Makes MonoCulturing Right
for anthrosupremacists.
A StraightWhitePatriarchal capitalist
consumer model of historical education
assuming monotheistic

autocratic powers for controlling communication
cannot peacefully
or therapeutically
or justly
or sacramentally
avoid a co-passionate threat
to healthy co-producers
Wealthing positive deviant ecofeminists

with unrelentingly curious
