Senior Luncheon Interview

YouthGroup interviews WiseElder lunch crowd

Notes:

(1) What do you recommend for improving our long-term health prospects?

Question met with quiet amusement.
“Honey,
I’m eighty years old.
My goal is to continue gracefully accepting my future losses.
I’m not sure that helps you.”

(2) Why have you done so well so far?

This is your idea of success?

When I was younger
I thought about healthy vocational goals,
like dancing and singing–

Ways to cooperate BothFun-AndWork solutions
stretching my more typical
EitherWealth-OrTired non-thinking.

It sounds like you found a long-term approach
for growing cooperatively healthy.

More of a daily philosophy
to not kill myself just yet,
than a long-term strategy.

(3) Looking back,
What healthcare choices would you approach differently?

Maybe I would look more toward future goals
to cooperatively thrive
To grow less frightened by past unfortunate competitions
to survive indignities of old age
in these paternalistic States.

(4) Looking forward,
Why might you choose
and not choose
to plan for long-term health for yourself,
for your extended family,
and for Earth?

I would include most plants as part of my extended family.
Although there are some aggressive weeds
to which I prefer to claim no kinship,
Republican or otherwise.

(5) When should we begin such long-term health planning
and development?

I’ve been waiting for eight decades.
Now, or even yesterday,
might already be too late,
even for my adult children.

(6) In what ways,
if any,
have you begun bringing your own adult childhood toward this great transition time?

Are you asking because you are young enough
to think you know the right answer?
Or because you’re old enough
to be curious about depths
and resilience
of early through late health development
for organic persons,
green plants,
and wealthy planet?

I am, I hope, just young and old enough
to be curious about why
those who plan for long-term planet therapies
also seem most likely conscious
of past health goals
competitively missed,
And others cooperatively still attainable.

Competitively missed goals…
Is that like old people without a shared nap-time map
of where we have been?
So feeling lost about tomorrow’s adventurous possibilities
for continuing long-term healthy sanctuary choices…

For me, long-term health planning is mostly about getting through today
and staying awake with you and your YouthGroup cohorts
on this journey toward WiseElder retirement.

I might recommend more healthy cooperation
toward achieving interdependent community wealth
more than RightWing toxic
competitive monoculturing aspirations.

For me,
and for us, I hope,
long-term climate goals
remain mostly about our extending family
on pilgrimate toward WiseElder Earth
as sacred Sanctuary
And secular communities
of cooperative
curiously continuing
health care futures,
More than competitively courageous and loyal Win or Lose
wealth hoarding
against my, and our, inevitable degenerating future.

(6) What happened to,
I’m eighty
with one foot in the grave already?

I reserve the right
to also focus on the other,
more curiously cooperative, foot.

Seeking Sanctuary

Diaspora Dwellings

On my way into our sanctuary
this past Sunday morning
a woman I had met in choir
was strangely inclined
to share her family history.

Her dad came over from Ireland
because he wanted better opportunities
for his healthy future.

Here he meets his wife
and they have kids
who also have kids
now living the post-millennial nightmare
of what the TrumpCard worshiping U.S.
has most degeneratively isolationist become.

I mentioned that I had never been.
My made-in-Ireland newsboy hat
had only hung in U.S. pubs,
mostly not so green as we might wish,
and had only covered my North American dreams
of a more robust wealth
of future health
for myself
and my African American husband
and our four adopted brown-skin wounded kids
with mental and physical,
mind and body,
spirit and soul uncompetitive challenges.

Challenges now further threatened by bleak climate choices
to pursue RightWing Business As Assault
Competitions to extract Earth’s ecofeminist original values
faster
and faster
and harder thrusting against naked wombs,
angry and filled with fear
we cannot hoard enough power
against the Great Winter
of our own LeftBrain dominant
paranoid prophecy.

And increasingly schizophrenic,
don’t you sometimes inside-outside Voices think?
My new fellow diaspora migrant added,
cooperatively curious,
and not at all competitively overpowering.

Before cars
and planes
and trains,
Before carriages
and carts
and wheels
Irish moms and dads would never have imagined
their homes
as other than our future home,
as other than great-great grandkids home
as it was on into a distant WiseElder
health-rooting past projecting future health.

Diaspora dreams
would have been just for tribal survival reasons,
I suppose.
Which sounds eerily like how I feel
about my kids WiseElder future prospects
challenged by angry supremacist voices,
classically un-evangelical,
philosophically dividing sinful ego-natures
from virtuous eco-spirits…

Yet these are what God originally created together…
Well, I get sidetracked
when I gaze into this awesome abyss
of LeftBrain’s curious diaspora nature
returning to RightBrain spiritual sanctuary
of what paradise Earth could become
after Her diaspora integrity returns.

Where our children can EarthTribe thrive again
by cooperative work and play with our conservative challenges
mental and physical
theological and ecological
spiritual and natural
secular and sacred
liberal healthy while conserving wealth
of deep learning democracy
for challenged diaspora solidarity.

I think about leaving the U.S.
especially in the last couple weeks,
and the last couple years,
now that I think of empty hearts and diamonds adulation
while never once mentioning darker promises
of clubs
and non-elite spades for burying our drowned
and burned
and shot.

This feels less and less like a healthy
safe
cooperative democracy for my wounded diaspora kids
to learn how to play WinWin games
rather than WinLose patriarchal lies
against the cultural wealth potential of equality
for matriarchal
WiseElder
ecofeminist
healthy RightBrain curious climates…

Inclusive of wounded,
voiceless,
brown-skinned children.

Precisely.
Me Too,
my Irish diaspora friend
sadly added,
thinking about her own adult children
increasingly uncomfortable about their distance
dissonance
and lack of hope in co-investment,
fading faith in loyalty to EarthTribe’s diaspora
cooperatively engaging our co-migrating selves.

But my own dad’s
and mom’s journey
began in the MidWest,
and their mom and dads came from Europe,
and their moms and dads
came from migrant EarthTribes
before carriages
and carts
and diaspora enabling wheels.

Where could we go
that could guarantee safe and healthy water,
regenerate soil,
fresh and liberally democratic conserving sanctuary,
bicamerally resonant consciousness,
robust ecological with theological WinWin culture,
cooperative egalitarian intent and design,
restorative justice,
peace for planet,
plants,
and people?

I assume that’s a rhetorical diaspora question.

She invited me to a potluck dinner
in her non-Irish home.

I continued my journey
into our migrant gathering sanctuary,
wondering about souls and wonder and imagination
before curious carriages
and courageous carts
and even simple wheels,
when horses and trees were our whispering neighbors
and prophets predicting healthy grass and water
satisfying next seven regenerations
of challenged children
hoping for their healthy chances
to become tomorrow’s WiseElder sanctuaries.

Green Dream Whispering

To avoid unnecessary oppressor and victim stuckness
in reiteratively dissonant looping
loopy voices,

To avoid interior and exterior terror climates
of self and other perpetual Lose to Lose
claustrophobic shut-down dismay,

To avoid dualdark lack of sufficient bilateral enlightenment,
once glimpsed
almost here…
there…

It might especially help our RightWing conservationist leanings
to draw up healthier ecologically secular designs
and yet follow theologically sacred processes
to remember love together
nutritionally awesome newborn-matriarchal in-between self respect,
pleasing curious childlike egos
with ecotherapeutic nurturing inquiry,
and sacred outdoor healthy wonder-empathy

It could help
to speak these early non-languaged experiences
dialects
discernments of WinWin outcomes held together,
passing democratic expert batons
of cooperative and restorative responsibility

It sounds potentially therapeutic
to invite pipes and breaths filled with cooperative opportunity
while gazing into multicultural community fire-circles,
waiting for drums and howls to mystically restart
song danced Full Moon co-opportunities
of night time secular/sacred liturgies.

To conserve ancient nature/spirit green
ecological theology celebrations
of and for Holy Matriarchal Spirit
radiating Grandmother Moon’s ultra-violet soul source
still whispering green ecofeminist birthed
nutritious dreams.

Don’t Expect Integrity

Don’t speak of God’s redemptive healing
while practicing idolatrous competitions in fear,
and self-righteous anger,
and xenophobic hate.

Don’t expect voices for democratic integrity
from bodies raised for overpowering secular mendacity.

Don’t listen for wealthy cooperation indoors
where speakers shout in supremacy against healthy outdoor profits
and prophets.

Don’t anticipate ecological health
where no theological wealth
has gone before
to prepare love’s way.

Don’t expect us to invite your messages
without prior investment in cooperatively mediating channels.

Don’t hope for ecstatic transport
without enchanting communion.

Don’t hold faith in secular wonders
without first finding a sanctuary
caring for sacred awe.

Don’t hope for celebrating outdoor public voices
without divesting of competing inside private tyrants.

Don’t speak of love
while practicing hate
with tools of fear.

Don’t talk
where you have not yet walked.

Fear of Climate Success

Fear of Climate Success

If you’re like me,
which probably already reduces the size of my captive audience
to Zero,

Regardless,
if we’re like we used to be
when we were born
with all the potential integrity neurons
of the uniting universe,

Through childhood formed into bilateral rivers
for transporting Win/Lose toward Lose/Lose risky conclusions
and Win/Lose toward Win/Win opportunities
co-arising comparative information

Some neuron trails,
like stars in a misty night sky,
faint,
and only flowing from a causal Source,
somehow more wisely
and sacredly
and greatly elsewhere,
echoing through my ringing
singing integrity
dancing ultra-violet dreams
feeding productive consumer mouths
for articulating LeftBrain developing rivers
of segregated health isn’t necessarily wealth language,
logos.

Other tidal rivers form deeper wealthier underground streams
with diverse ecological
and theological
and analogical
and psychological
and political
and financial
orthodox Both/And Right Brain surfing health/wealth memories
of Both ZeroZone sacred Source origination,
And EgoZone secular mouth of re-creation
flowing in both upriver
and downriver
reiterating loops.

LeftBrain capable of Both/And returning to newborn infancy
re-noticing Outside Voices for ecotherapy
and sacred Celebration

Flowing neural latticed singing stars
shining out Win/Win WiseElder enlightenment,

Holding fire-circle wonder
co-gravitating/co-arising stars and flames
reflecting neural river trails of timeless retold myths
resolving and revolving anthro-cooperative
with eco-logos WinWin nature/spirit stories
co-habiting YangSourced Rivers with YinFlow bilateral returns
primal ZeroZone nutritional choices

Some deeply learned rivers
through orthodox ages of WinWin nutritional evolution
survive the culling of adolescent WinLose
military-industrial
competitively divisive
Either/Or
LeftBrain schools for producers
marketing to information consumers
longing for more robust Both/And hope

Hope remaining
despite lack of responsible faith
in history repeating ourselves,

Good news faith graces sanctuary from blame and shame,
unable to love our EgoClimates for who we are
so unable to forgive our potential EcoSchools
and GreenGrandMother elders
for not remembering to strengthen WinWin
potential Both/And
Cause/Effect
Yang/Yin
Patriarchal/Matriarchal
Competition/Cooperation Cultures
Ego/Eco
Ecological/Theological
climates cooperatively held
for improved bicameral polypathic rivers
of WinWin success.

Health,
inside wealth,

awe,
within wonder,

ecstasy,
predicting enchantment,

integrity,
searing love,

green,
with red,

black,
predicting white,

Either/Or,
searching Both/And,

deduction,
following induction,

exhalation,

light theology
emerging from dualdark analogical ecology,

sacred,
sublimely secular,

out,
without in,

outside choice,
evoking inside voices,

Win/Lose,
suboptimizing Win/Win,

Yinhaling ecofeminist wombs
Yangforming ego/eco climates
co-arising dipolar integral success.

If your imprinting infant river-systems etched
and sketched
and stretched like mine,
which probably already reduces the size of my captive audience
to one EarthSoul multicultural ZeroZone
for WinWin nutrition strings of neural Right/Left
seasons of reasonable
responsible Both/And healthy energy
without either blaming EcoGods or shaming EgoCenters
for who we WinLose are
and who we WinWin choose to better climate become

SecularYang oceans of thought
with sacredYin
feeling life’s compelling choices
for All Loves Matter.

If you’re still like me,
already reducing the size of our cooperative
health/wealth risks and opportunities
to not not double-binding
poly-dogmatic ZeroSum
deep learning generations
of Earth’s normal ecoschool day
and night,
mythos
and logos,
RealTime entertainment,
and Timeless dreams of ParadiseMusing success.

Waking up to another hopeless all WhiteHouse
Dividing States of competitively irresponsible
RedBlooded Evangelical Supremacist America
without
as within,
inhaled
as exhaled,
sourced
as re-sourced,
resilient
as resonant,
WinLose
to feed and water WinWin or LoseLose Climates
of anthro success
or epic entropic hopeless failure

If you’re like me,
which probably reduces the size
of hopelessly inert witnesses
to one allied cooperative ZeroZone
EarthTribe for Healthy/Wealthy Climates,
inside
learning from outside,
outside
speaking non-violently
cooperatively co-investing
with inside successful WinWin ego-voices,
echoing rivers of recombining neural networks.

If your WinWin Wonder climate
teaches my Awesome inside ecstasy
inviting outside enchantment,
spiritual paradigms
for natural relationship,
bicameral systems
Both/And etched in neural imprints
sketched by recombining health-wealth
original ZeroZone neural roots
nurturing matriarchal ultra-violet’s resounding IntegritySource.

If you’re like me
hopelessly choosing
all loves matter.

Awesome UnScientific Method Theology Ecology

Sacred Ladder of Secular Inference

Data Field:

Look further into cooperative WinWin ecotherapeutic options

with CoOperative Inferences
for a healthier/wealthier and more

Look for green candidates who listen

Choosing Diverse PolyPaths

Freya Mathews
speaks for panpsychic consciousness
as our destiny for WinWin cooperative healthy wealth

Where Mr. D Holmgren
might landscape with growing permacultural consciousness,
also for achieving revolutionary healthy seasons
slow-growing unprecedented green wealth optimization
in some ZeroZone
under reforesting reconstruction

I can hear no difference
between Mathew’s panpsychic
and Holmgren’s permacultural
Consciousness,
awareness,
noticing everyday nutrition v toxin health trends
in season
out of season
across great transitioning seasons
with global changing subclimate reasons.

Just as I fail to find
scriptural distinction
between a God of creative Love
and a Holy Matriarchal Spirit
of and for Graced Democratic Energy.

Whenever I read agape
or even eros
I also hear sacred GreenGoddess
of EarthTribe Grace.

As I grow deep in curious ancient roots
exploring dawn’s beauty and dusk’s dark truths,

I fail to remember courageous adolescent discerned differences
between predestined WinLife/LoseDeath theology
for reviving sacred EarthPlace
and a cooperatively-held ecology
of faith in health-inducing sanctuary space
unfolding eternal HereNow Time
of great transitioning Grace.

First Presidential Alert

I got my first Presidential Alert today
Did you
too?

It was alarming
near the middle of the afternoon
to receive this reminder,
He’s still President?
Watch out!

As a candidate
he promised us he would do nothing
to improve our weather
and, in fact,
would strongly support Business As Usual
so we could plan on even more severe subclimates
of internal and external pathology.

Severe Presidential Alerts
are alarming
but probably necessary acknowledgement
the WhiteHouse denies human contribution
to causing severe climatic harm
and thereby perhaps avoid expensive global reparations,
responsible repairs
reforesting
un-desertification liabilities,
reinvestments in health care giving
and receiving with all mattered lives

Now shattered by severe climate necessities
of Presidential Alerts

Watch out!
Patriarchal grabbing and extracting,
squeezing and penetrating pain
at Presidential work
against health and love
of future sacred mattered Lives,
of Earth herself.

Why Ask Why?

Mommy,
why do we need Presidential Alerts
right now
before I’ve finished my ice-cream dessert?

Because he’s a scary guy
my son.

Why is he so scary?

Because he’s a bully against health
and patriotic loyalty to Earth’s future
multicultural life,
my well-nurtured daughter.

Why is he against health care?

He’s for his own wealth development.

Why is he for his own wealth care?

Because his mother never taught him
health care begins at home
and must have interdependent room
to spread out from there.

Why does health have to spread?

Because otherwise true wealth dies.

Why does wealth die?

Because Earth’s climate quickly turns
toward global degeneration.

Why is Earth going to hell?

Because we made some bad choices.

Who is We?
and why did We make bad choices?

Because We have bad habits
of settling for empty sovereignty
of a failing adult supremacy system.

Why is our system failing?

Because mature adults fail to ask enough questions
of ourselves,
and then with co-arising healthy others.

Curiously Ecological Egos

Ego systems are felt integrity
sometimes
and self-conscious mendacity
other significant times,

Restorative and yet unfortunately retributive games
with WinWin or WinLose, or even terrifying LoseLose dominant trends
in self-with-Other inflicted identity.

As eco-systems are imaged healthy
and sadly pathological,
restoring healthy climate vocations
and sometimes punishing theological revoking EarthLife imaginations

Climates of epic revenge
against capitalistic ego-supremacy

Game theories about Egos and Ecos
are sometimes punishing ZeroSum
and other times rewarding WinWin
slow green-grown restorations

Games have three interdependent risk and opportunity branches,
Win/Lose,
as in capitalistic ZeroSum
if Ego wins then not I-Eco must environmentally lose

Win or Lose capital BusinessAsUsual
degenerative evolutionary theory
trends toward inevitable Lose/Lose EarthWealth
of Health,
entropy,
absence of further ecological relationship
paucity of RealTime hope
And sin of denying theological original healthy integrity
as more powerful
than demonic pathological mendacity.

When we embrace WinWin choices
with polypathic
and polyphonic
and probable polynomially balancing
not not ZeroSum polycultural results
invite ecstatic opportunity climates
of Ego/Eco-Balance.

WinWin cooperative revolutions
are dynamic ultra-violet stuff
ultra-nonviolent communication
for healthy family reunions
and extended family revivals,
environmental reforesting collaborations

CoOperative Writers
of permacultural songs
inviting just-us matriarchal folk dancers,
fire-circle authorities
advocating universal multicultural solidarity
uniting sacred ego/eco-voiced sanctuaries

For playing non-violent ego/eco-therapy games
Story telling resilient and resonant EarthMother Wombs
reforesting restorations
incarnating our WinWin recreational choices

Secular yet solid sacred ecological vocations
re-creating theological good multicultural news sanctuaries

Red blooded hearts
with green mind bodies,
Love predators
witnessing grace-prey avocations
invocations inhaling
exhalations

Revocations of monoculturally competitive Win/Lose voices
for patriarchal capitalism,
too hotly pursuing business as curiously unusual
Win/Lose competing ego-centers
unpatriotically idolatrous players
in an otherwise Win/Win EarthMother Womb.

Political ego systems are felt integrity some healthy times
and too competitively other unwise
in significant transition times
restoring unfortunately punishing
Left/Right stretches toward
Win/Win
deductive/inductive co-operation games.
