Wilderness Silence

Escape into wild silence
Slip away into still chilled morning
Follow each brown needle cushioned trail
toward Earth’s solace
murmuring river

Whispering from where we have come
to quietly drift
through renatured meaning

Float rippling forward
into love’s expansive watered mouth
without inhumane voice

Escape into ambient silence,
comforting respite

Leaving behind human,
even humane,
passion stories
persistent voices
plastered sounds;
but not tidal memories
wilderness fantasies
pleasure feelings
thick erotic choice

These accompany

Friendly and harder lessons
healing into muffled landscapes,
sea sounds,
surprising silent breezes
teasing past surfing sense

Suspensory imprinted
colored
wordlessly intoned
rhythmed patterns resonant
and dissonant,
spaciously sensualized

Needy quiet traces
relation tracks
footsteps hungry for most any thing
every one present
and unaccounted for

Embracing
inviting
wiccan silence

Slipping away

Healthy Democratic Civilizations

Imagine your healthiest body
is a democratic
ego-mind/eco-body
bipartisan empowering organism

Ideally,
most nutritionally,
nurtured by an also open,
living,
dynamic win/win preferential,
evolving,
revolving organic home,
in many anthropological times and places
also known as sacred MotherEarth.

Notice
your democratic mind+body
is an open
holistic
ego+eco-centering
co-invested re-centering,
co-acclimating interior+exterior
bilaterally systemic infrastructure
for democratic health,
rooted in mutual trust.

If your brain is in charge,
this is a democratic charge,
a coordinating
complexly inter-communicating
organic whole system responsive responsibility,
leaving no individual organ or health function
irresponsibly behind,
shunned,
shamed,
solely blamed

Not an autocratic,
from above,
hierarchically patriarchal,
anthropocentrically capitalistic
thought-mind over felt-body matter

Not a republican authority
on upper-caste,
above the neck,
defensive rights,
incapable of long-term
win for leftbrain dominant spirituality
only at the cost of a lose
for rightbrain organic
interdependently felt naturality,
mental+physical health,
bicameral communion intelligence

Bilateral ego+eco communing communication
looking for win+win neurological
whole organic system
democratic resolution
of spiritual v natural wealth issues,
pathologically autocratic cancers,
effective v affective predations,
viral dispassionate dissonance,
rabid and rogue kleptocratic behaviors,
win v lose anthropocentric ego-inflations,
lose+lose anthropological terrors
and global EarthMother decimations,
rather than win+win wonders,
sacred awe of organic Earth’s resiliently healthy
democratic regenerativity.

Now, recall important political statements
influencing your own development:

A family is not a democracy.
A classroom is not a democracy.

Both implied “should not be” statements
almost certainly true
in your own predominant civil empowerment v disempowerment
formative experience,

Embracing win v lose
either-me/or-you empowered competitions
between autocratic teachers and preachers
and not yet mature and experienced
sometimes you solo win,
and usually cooperative children,
maturing civil adolescents
and organically co-passionate young adults
don’t solo win.

Many of whom,
especially those poorer and darker,
will graduate into military-industrializing subcultures
of fear, anger, and threat

Where patriarchal
leftbrain dominant plutocracy
of commanders
over indentured pawns
become reduced to untrusting tools
and win v lose assumptions
that civilization defense requires
high risk,
and high priced,
strategic weapons.

These young brainwashed adults
will certainly not be gathering richly diverse trust experience
in democratic dialogue
over autocratic debate
about the comparative strength
and weaknesses
of win+win caste abolition
of uncivilized injustice
for restoring anthropological+ecological democracy.

So, is it possible to still hear
indigenous sentient wisdom?

Families, like classrooms,
intending young life healthy empowerment,
rather than autocratic disempowerment
of lesser Other
alienated people and alien species.

Not yet mature democracy
grows roots by experiencing robust compassionate Trust,
rather than an unintended civics lesson
in rabid leftbrain anthropocentric autocracy,
as if capitalism
and homophobic whites-only patriarchalism
were historically inevitable
ecosystemic trauma
and anthropocentric apartheid.

As if mutually mistrusting families
and classroom competitions for individual winner power
were democratically healthier
than win+win cooperative models
for shared mind+body
sacred+organic
spirit+nature
ego+ecosystemic
evolutionary civilized wealth

Resonant trust
resilient love
compassion+pleasure

Imagining our healthiest bodies
on our wealthiest days
within anthropological+ecological
co-relational systems
are therapeutically democratic

Self+Other empowering
Anthro+Earth responsible
co-responsive civility
among win+win organisms
non-violently communicating
advocates for polyculturally intelligent
restorative polyamorous EarthFirst Peace
informing and transforming
local democratic justice.

Religious Ties That Naturally Bind

Religion
could be more organically grounded
in healthy ecological relationships
were theologians and governors
to remind each Other
is also, at least neurologically,
not Other

This re-connecting work
of religious economic and political enculturation
is less about unchangeable past history of TruthPassion
and more about continuous,
resonantly reculturing
EarthPleasure.

Less about petrified fear
anger
unhealthy distrusting demonizing Other
and more about optimized compassion,
win+win safe
timeless double-binds of graced eternity.

Double-binds are sometimes recognized
in moral theology–
damned if you do
and damned if you don’t;
Lose+Lose

Seldom blessed if you do
so graced if you don’t;
Win v Lose.

Two negatives equal a positive
but two polarized positives
equal a mess of competing
0-sum
either totally win
or totally lose
confusion.

R.D. Laing connected verbal communication
between individual victims
and socially empowered authorities
like parents
and teachers

And perhaps evangelical theologians
demanding we love God
so deny body pleasures
Yet if we misunderstand body pleasures
as disconnected from God’s omnipotent grace,
then we have not yet
personally enough
accepted God’s polyamorous love.

Double-binds are double-negative
lose+lose oppositions

Co-binary x’s and y’s,
1’s and 0’s,
bilateral prime relationships
like Yang and Yin
connect win+win appositions
potential reconnecting associations
of both yes and no contrast

Co-defining

ego+eco-refining
Anthro+Earth’s regenesis
re-ligiously reconnecting

of co-arising
co-acclimating bi/di-polar dynamics
either/or AND both/and
left hemisphere resonant
with right hemisphere interdependent ‘
thought+felt

non-violent,
so, compassionate–

These are not often enough
positively re-ligioned
re-connected
rewoven into the fabric
of double-binding win+win choices,
healthy, mutually trusting,
democratic discernment,
nondualistic dialogue
theologically and ecologically
teleological,
psychological and neurological,
organically and sacredly democratic,
sexual and sentient,
historical and mystical,
memory and mysterious
reconnecting win+win hope

ecosystemic passion+pleasure experience,

World Wide Intelligent Communion

Capitalism
is an economic strategy
and/or theory
that harbors no inefficient room
for unconditional democratic love,
to live generously or die trying
(and not slowly fade away
not trying)
and for concomitant
co-arising
co-relational
positive correlational

co-passionate
wealthy polycultural values.

Polyamorous democracy
incorporates a synergetic culture
with an ecotherapeutic systemic plan,
a politically healthy theory
rooted in cooperative intent
and robust multicultural
winSelf+winOther preferential values.

Expectations of cruel
and unusual win v lose punishment
strategies for kleptocracy’s
disempowering
undemocratic injustice
is what runaway cascading capitalists
dream of drowning in
each blighted night
of winners v losers devolutionary
patriarchal caste supremacy.

Anticipation of kind
and natural+spiritual win+win
nondualistic
nonviolent communication rewards
for restoring Earth’s healthy green justice
is what global democrats
wake up to
each co-arising economically buoyant
panentheistic dawn

Of ecosystemic peace
prevailing over
anthropocentric LeftHemisphere dominant restlessness
about competitive capitalism
v cooperative communion
health empowering transformation
of polyamorous communicating patriotism
rather than continuing with business as usual
monoculturing capitalist fealty.

Integrity’s Completion

What we believe
is our neurological humane nature,
growing up
and cooperatively out
from LoserMe+LoserWe caste depressions
about our survivalist selves

while spiritually transitioning toward WinMe+WinWe
nurturing co-passionate communication

Feels natural,
teleologically indigenous,

harmful guilt and shame

And growing toward WinEgo+WinEco absorbing compassion,

flowing out divine individuating energy
growing from discontinuous

Saturday Sabbath

On a Michigan farmer Saturday
in August,
anticipating tomorrow’s evangelical Sabbath,

When late summer vacations
invoke house cleaning chores
unusually light,

Heading outside after lunch
into this spectacularly breezy
billowing cumulus clouds
in-between radiant sky blue
infinite wonder

Into this awesomely long leisurely afternoon
becoming one of those farm kids
sent out to rediscover solitary play
while Mom clears HER kitchen
to fill grateful mouths and noses
with impossible fragrance
of Sunday dinner rhubarb pie
or fresh strawberry shortcake,
whipping vanilla or banana cream
while boiling sweet yellow corn,
baking mac and ancient cheddar cheese
for this evening’s pre-dusk compline dinner.

On this first summer celebrating Saturday
of low humidity
and temperatures predicting September seventies

Out past our red barn
past its barnyard lily pond
into golden stubbled hay fields
sheared sexy contoured place
of my temporarily uncloseted gay imaginings
hoping for God’s grace face
smiling sabbath of sensually healthy return

Continuing on
to private green cool woodland
to nakedly climb a favorite tree
skin to naked bark,
full-bodied embrace
of this fabulous shared EarthLife
transparent
open
strong
yet breezy free flexibility
with inclusive messianic hope.

Out to play,
and pray
this day
and final month
of vacation re-creation
will never end

Or end,
if time must continue,
in moonlit radiant peace,
night dreams
restoring righteousness
into perfect summer Sabbath.

Testosterone Caste Privilege

One of my several disabilities
of personal knowledge
through experience
and, therefore, empathic intelligence,
is to know what estrogen-driven “horniness”
might feel like,
look and sound like,
taste and smell like.

Gay men require alternative
deviant paths
toward green/blue/red
ultra-nonviolent
cooperatively owned
and perpetually self/other-managed
panentheistically mediated
open WholeEarth systemic
ecofeminist peaceful experience.

I suspect a primal contrast
between an empty holed
deep chakra longing for compassionate relationship,
rather than a pole-addicted belonging
to assertive plundering
the newest available warm wet
unwhole hole,
might be one way
of contrasting secularized patriarchal privilege
with matriarchal holistic submission
to eco-political windy waves
of increasingly rabid aggression,
unilaterally pleasure polarized
and further polarizing capital-headed dominance
of debate horniness
rather than dialogue compassions.

Which brings me to my strong ability,
outgoing,
discontinuously flowing,
capacity to feel and know
smell and taste testosterone-driven “horniness”
of re-membering experience,
although not necessarily that well re-ligiously contemplated,
reflecting on how I might re-connectedly improve
continuous, rather than discontinuous, win+win outcomes
and thereby abolish future win v lose testosterone-caste disasters
of sexual
sensual
sensory
spiritual+natural sentient+conscious practice,
compassion practice,
pleasure+passion practice
until I get testosterone+estrogen horny us
at least imaginatively crown+root balanced,

Left dominant red
and right recessive green/blue
states of humane-peace+divine-justice
body+brain bright toned passion

Because that, “passion”
and power
and energy,
may become sense-synonymous
“horniness”
felt and emergently known

Balancing exterior structured
cognitive spaces
and
Ionic harmonic interior flowing
affective revolving co-binary
trans-rationally felt
positive longing
and negative not yet belonging
empty co-passioning times

Whether testosterone
or estrogen
or some bisexual multicolored culture,
some multicultural crown-rooted chakra integrity
of these two
become one ego+eco-rooted
in cosmic polyphonic
polypathic win+win re-ligioned democracy,

EcoPolitically seen
when compassionately heard,

EcoBiologically felt
when passionately touched,

SocioNeurologically tasted
when co-empathically smelled

With win+win informing+exflowing gratitude
cooperative testosterone+estrogen attitude

Compassionate multiculturing global energy
of sufficiently bicameral
disciplined ambient powers

Non-violently mediated integrity’s
deep learning opportunity

Even while facing manic
anthropocentric runaway rabid

Bertrand Russell’s Systemic Passions

Bertrand Russell
was intrigued by systems theory,
appalled by systemic racism
within himself and others,
corporations and churches
not recognizing each other’s wisdom
also found in temples and synagogues
and community investment banks
and poor houses.

He was also interested in political philosophy,
power of aristocrats
anticipating growing personal economic despotism
offering no respite
to green/blue democratic EarthLovers.

A contemporary of Einstein’s,
who shared Russell’s political philosophy
and perhaps his interest in 4Dimensional
prime negentropic space+time
co-arising dipolar bicameral
spatial+integral
cognitive+intuitive
physical+metaphysical systems
also sort of bilaterally co-binary

Russell writes,
“The reason physics has ceased to look for causes
is that, in fact,
there are no such things.
The law of [unilateral linear] causality
is a relic of a bygone age,
surviving, like the monarchy,
only because it is erroneously supposed
to do no [winner v loser, either/or leftbrain dominant bipolarizing] harm.”

Here, Russell’s parenthetical analogy
betrays his political philosophy
favoring naturalpir+spiritual both/and co-arising systemic democracy
of We Potentially Healthy MultiCultural EarthPeople
causing and prolonging
monoculturing
narcissistic autocratic fantasies,
anthropocentric EarthExploiting MonoTheistic Emperors.

Systemic power-with-other sentient beings
travels from caste-down to caste-up,
like root systems toward flowers,
nutritionally causal
secondarily, effected communication flowing back top to down,
like seeds embedding in Earth’s co-invested future
polyculturing fertile soil
bearing multi-restoration
springing anticipated win+win
both/and synergetic fruits

Co-arising in polyphonic apposition
complementary
mutually virtuous
more normatively resilient
than win v lose bipolar challenges
of vicious monoculturing,
too audaciously self-delusional
short-term overpowering aggressors

Like
leftbrain dominant
straight white western male predators
overlording polyculturally rich Gaia-Earth
of original nature+spirit win+win
systemic peace therapy
in which each individual ego-being
is EarthMother sacred
eco-politically born
integral and organic

For growing neurosystemic
cooperative green energy,
power-with-democratic Other,
co-binary empowerment,
co-lateral caste-abolishing enlightenment
of integrity’s systemic multiculturing potential
for climate health

Internally ego-inspiring spiraling spiritual

organic ecosystems of co-passion
reversing monoculturing exhaustion

Gospel of Audacious Democracy

Are you,
or have you ever been,
a Trumpist?

Asks the Restorative Justice Committee
inviting an open discussion
with Christian evangelicals
about traditional green
global
gospel
Body of Christ loyalties

And how this anticipation
of restoring justice
through green/blue healthy democracy climates
and unred-undominating polyamorous peace
has been influenced,
or not,
by EarthPatriotic repentance.

In hindsight,
said a representative
of the StraightWhiteMale Clergy Association,
I first began reflecting on

Who is my social capital competitiveness
willing to sacrifice,
to bully,
shun,
ignore,
snub,
disempower,
leave behind
because of their hopelessly unclean sin?

So I could more clearly emerge
among my monotheistic caste peers
as an orthodox MAGA ‘winner’

A judging God of Retributive Justice emulator,
blamer and shamer,
not listening mis-communicator,
winner v loser evolutionist
of an anthropocentric
slowly degenerating
undivine
not redemptive EarthView.

Willing to sacrifice
and capitalistically exploit Earth Her sacred Self,
in my silent shaded closet
focusing on a rapturous Heavenly climax
after the straight white Father’s great self-righteous
rapacious red rage.

Which is something rather punishingly different
and anxiety reproducing
as compared to anticipating
a green EarthBound Rapture
catalyzed by healthy democratic empowering
and cooperatively enlightening restoration
of egoMind+ecoBody
therapeutic Earth Justice.

What, of your own potential integrity,
internal multicultural interests
and faith-filled curiosities,
is your current internal monocultural win v lose efficiency
for hoarding currencies of social success markers,
such as “annual six figure income”?

I’m not sure I understand your question.
Is our household income over $100,000?
Am I a faithful federal military-industrialized taxpayer?
Yes, of course.

What and whom are you willing to leave behind
wound
kill
starve
boycott
excommunicate
impeach
lock up?

How do your faith communities shut out awareness
of other green restorative currencies for success,
such as win+win integrity,
multicultural, multigenerational neighborhood social synergy,
polyamorous commitments to inclusive consciousness,
to transparent authenticity,
to vulnerable sentience
willing to risk personal honesty
about closeted upper caste defensive deviancy,
feelings of undemocratic evangelical supremacy?

I’m hoping those are rhetorical questions?

Oh ye of little love without conditions,
faith inadequate to anticipate opportunity
to more deeply learn
who we are becoming together
as an inter-religious polycultural health wealthy tribe,
a global neighborhood communion of bodhisattvas,
a diverse mutually absorbing ultra-nonviolet community
free of dreaming up more red fear
and blue/green free for transparent cooperative curiosity
and winSpirit+winNature co-empowerment
and holistic EarthPeace co-enlightenment.

Now who’s bullying
and overpowering
and not effectively communicating
so much as competitively evangelizing?

Who and what do your religious dogmas
exclude from grace
that your spiritual and natural cultural interests,
your attractions and anxieties
would include as stretch goals
for better healthy wealth of communication
which includes respectful listening more
and preaching disregard less?

If you wouldn’t mind,
could we turn your question around?
How does eco-political you,
and how have we forever audaciously become,
gospel pro-life
polyamorous
ecotherapeutic
compassionate communicators?

Healthiest Wealth of EcoFeminism

We each and all have, I suspect,
a felt awareness
that patriotism
risks degenerating into fascism,
as loyalty
risks bullying.

Isolating nationalism
self-righteously defending weaponized caste supremacy
and patriarchal privilege of one’s State
moving toward fear-mongered isolationism
supporting competitive polarization
predative politicization
of “self-made” capitalism

Rather than appreciating our solidarity
as anthropocentric nations resting and wrestling
and co-investing
on interdependent continents
articulating green/blue loyalty
to the Gaia Hypothesis of Win+Win integrity
of self+other governance

And no less self-identified sacred State
of Father Sun
or organic Tribe
of Mother Earth,
avoiding dissociative incontinence
whenever possible.
