Love is Healthy

“Give up all hope
for a better [healthier] past.”
Bumper Sticker, on way to church

“Give up no gratitude
discovering a better [healthier] future.”
Homily at Churching Hope Together

“Love [health] is all there is.”
The Beatles

“God [Health] is love.
The Bible

Because anger jumps out upon us
rooted in past images
perpetrating, and yet also victimized by, competing oppression,

Because fear lurks before us
as victims losing bad faith competitions
between LeftBrain expedience
and RightBrain ecological
and theological
prime [health] relational wisdom.

Love is all there is
in each here and now
gratitude for past health,
wherever we can cooperatively re-imagine it,
and hope for future wealth
where we can, together,
enchant light more

To disenchant less fear-mongering
and angry-consuming management
marketed, less effectively now,
to cooperating victims and perpetrators
of past and future climate sabotage

A most unhealthy climate,
inside and out,
to continue dissonantly Occupying,
especially when healthy cooperative climates
are already WinWin Occupying
trusted trusting HereNow hands
and hearts
and feet for occupying healthier climates,
healing EcoSchool sanctuary students
longing to reforest Paradise.

Growing Grace

I can already feel some gratitude
for not having been,
being,
or ever becoming responsible
to heal everything

Casting WinWin solutions
and resolutions
in all fertile directions.

Like you,
I only get one vote.

Still, I do find some mortal hope
in one voice capacity
to mend some broken relationships,
WinLose and LoseLose
climates of relative
and complete
pathology.

I would unveil some wonder
as we cooperatively learn awesomeness
seeing
and hearing
and feeling
and knowing
and embracing multicultural difference

Here with Now co-incident Occupiers
between gratitude sanctuaries of faith
and moments of compassionate hope

Green wisdom to not become incapacitated
by monoculturing differences:

By fear of ungrateful mortality,
of capital disassociation,
of ego-annihilation;

By anger occupying Now,
my own,
and patriarchy’s,
and Earth’s everyday living
at-risk of losing cooperative
organic integrity
through unhealthy collective dementia,
hysteria,
post-Victorian melancholia,
ecofeminist suppression,

Reacting against 2020 peaceful revolutions
for growing green grace,
one vote,
one voice,
in each HereNow Time.

Power’s Price

“The price of power is responsibility.”
Winston Churchill

This is a powerful voice
AltRight confrontational ears
have not yet clearly heard.

The price confronting global secular and sacred powers,
whether white or black
or everything in-between,
whether ego-patriarchal or ecofeminist,
whether LeftBrain dominant
or RightBrain prominent
or somewhere polypathic in-between,
is EarthCentric ecological responsibility.

Perhaps if AltGreen global parties
were to celebrate the gospel of communioned sanctuary
reforesting ZeroZone responsibilities
and caring for surfing health-seasoned oceans,
and custody of tidal saltwater rivers for wombing history
and transubstantiating DNA’s sacred fractal regenerations,

Then perhaps democratic green-trusting ballot boxes
could become sanctuaries
from SecondAmendment automated killing excesses,
and patriarchal ownership of indentured sex-workers,
and imprisoned slaves,
and neglected, cooperatively uneducated children
and the power of autonomy owned and angrily carried
without regard or compassion
for equivalent responsibility.

The price of truly democratic human therapeutic power
is cooperatively-held responsibility
to restore ego/eco-therapeutic justice,
green ultra-violet
polyphonic peace on Earth,
with all Mother HomeLand Tribes.

Angry Island Men

No healthy humane person
of mature integrity
is a disenchanted island.

No individual is entirely orphaned.
Even an island has an associated understory,
below the water’s surfing surface
lie deeply rooted
anciently fertile connections.

And above the water’s surface
birds migrate outdoor voices
and digestive tracts
and trends
visit,
co-invest regenerativity
of ocean tides
and wind storms.

Those who celebrate only their autonomous island-ness,
are those who do not actively include
how we already live as multicultural peninsulas
leading back to mainland ancient healthy multicultures
and leading forward
to where we can once again
applaud diversely landscaped roots
fertile soil and soul migrations
visitors of nutritiously remembering curiosity
co-invested leaders in courageous fertile multi-solidarity
on this one planet island

Earth revolving within an interdependent sanctuary orbit
of synergetic understory,
Milky Way of warm wet soiled and souled
enchanting
surfing maternal womb memories
of ocean tides
as wind storms.

Redefining Greatness and Safety

What’s the problem with homelessness,
other than the violence from which it comes
and toward which it further travels?

Why not ignore
and grow tolerance
for the inevitability of caravans
of sojourners
on pilgrimage
toward mirages
of Uniting Promise Lands?

I have more immediately pressing
everyday problems–
trimming my nails,
drying the laundry
on a rainy non-clothesline day,
raking the leaves,
mowing the lawn,
sweeping the front porch
to invite the occasional visitor,
harvesting the squash,
pulling voracious weeds,
cleaning, the gutters, rain-barrels…
feeding the birds, the kids, the garden soil, the truck…
clothing the barefoot kids,
doing my nails…

Did I say that one already?

These are my at-risk immigrating priorities,
my everyday interdependent pilgrims,
projects longing for a more integral,
mutually inviting,
loving,
enchanting,
even possibly ecstatic?,
climaxing! healthy purpose.

Lawn and leaves, con-joined
birds and children, singing back and forth
wet porches and clothes
and dirty rain-barrels and gutters,
tired and depressed,
worn-out,
sleep-deprived visitors
right here at my doorstep
sharing our cooperatively therapeutic planet
with whatever climate health remains
before traveling further
degenerative and regenerative pilgrimages
of choice
and no alternative
homeless choicelessness.

Homelessness is too big
to therapeutically share alone.

I am too small to host
and everyday depressing
compressed to receive,
to accept with impressed renewing eyes
longing for healthy integrity
throughout my extensive habitat
of deeply
cooperatively owned responsibilities
to co-produce common healthy outcomes
for ourselves
and all our caravans,
domestic
and wild,

Internal climate pilgrimage toward trust with beauty
and external co-empathic journeys
into wayfare homelessness,
eco-sublimation,
timeless Earth enchanting trusts
and disenchanting mistrusts
while cleaning my nails
while washing the truck.

Perennial Adventure

Advent,
older, and more pervasive, than Christmas
I presume.

Why so?

Advent’s lack of glaring light
feels more of an invite
to prepare for winter’s new year planning
by reviewing what went toxically wrong
and occasionally
mysteriously right.

A time not yet for sorting ecstatic harvest seeds
of early year insight
but deeper hibernating
into all not not quite entirely wrong potentials,
where cooperative perennial images delight
while capital’s mortal reasoning
remains logistically wrong,
a song
too soon sadly sung
in nihilistic
dissonant keys
of double-binding night,
approaching terrorizing fright
vigorously denied
before adventurously accepting
heuristic gains of ultra-violet bright

Into Advent darkness
recomposing next year’s nurture lights,
ecologically learned evolving cycles
of nutrition
theologically deep revolutionary recycles
speaking healthy wealth of Advent’s
annual 2020 resolutions.

Green Empathy

You’ve heard that self-unfulfilling prophecy?
“I love humanity–
it’s just people I can’t stand.”

I love healthy humanity–
it’s just wealthy and/or snooty people I can’t stand

I love cooperative humanity–
it’s just overly-competitive individuals I can’t stand.

Not so distant from,
I love U.S. society
and nationalistic patriotic jingoistic culture,
absence of non-bully matriarchal-power culture,
or whatever I don’t feel like thinking too historically
or too systematically,
or too health systemically about pathology today,
it’s just Trump as President we all should politically adore.

And to think he gave up a lucrative White business man career
over-invested in high end real estate,
developing and seductively marketing naked elitism
and capitalistic worshiping consumerism,
while Earth’s climate begins to burn
and flood,

Further polluting rivers
and oceans
and lakes,

Further polluting and thinning what’s left
of fertile ground soil,

Further polluting and strangling healthy food
production
and consumption,

Further stressing slippery non-conservative slopes
and neglected health care systems
and abusively ballistic non-health receiving war and terror-tool development industries
instead of cooperative gospel multiculturing messages

Further bruising and killing internal feelings
and external climates
for both ego-therapeutic
and eco-therapeutic Win/Win peace,
composure,
dignity,
loyalty,
integrity,
health,
synergetic wealth.

I’m not sure post-millennial people
with or without disabilities,
people with sacred faith in God’s diversity
reweaving natural/convex
with spiritual/concave creations
dipolar feeling authentic bicameral tensions
between nationalistic RightWing U.S. capitalism,
and retributive justice patriotism,
and also more active fear and anger
toward Don Trump as failed and bitter
and cynical bullying AntiChrist President
during the Great RedFlaming Millennial EndTimes.

In a post-millennial narrative,
we all go back to unhealthy Win/Lose capitalistic
LeftBrain dominant
ly encultured ZeroZone
competing non-cooperations.

I’m not sure about my own transmillennial ZeroZone issues
about loving U.S. RightWing economic conservators
moving toward green natural organic health choices
and love experiences of divine humanity
of and for faundamental goodnews Win/Win
non-violently communicating
Grace

which embraces all our mythic stages
EXCEPT:

Evangelistic jihad
Trump-praising and defending
Great BornAgain elite dogmatists
ignorant of experience with wealth
of Holy/Holonic
Patriarchal/Matriarchal Balancing
Harmonic Spirit

not worshiping capital idols and false gods
loyal to Win/Lose messy EarthClimate Futures,
betting against Creator PatriarchalGod of Win/Win Love.

Such dissonance is theologically troubling
because RightWing fear- and anger-mongering
elite nationalism
is so much more like pre-millennial Jealous YHWh
than post-millennial God of Green Sojourner Love,
Messiahs of Truth,
Bodhisattvas of Timeless Beauty,
Harmony,
Integrity…

Maybe we could do Win/Win better
with more green democratic
extended family choices.

I do believe Christians have special scriptural reasons
to actively search for healthier green
in organic community gardens
and permacultural cooperatively-owned and operated farms,
and poycultural EcoSchools
for natural/spiritual bilateral nutrition
before over-investing in Lose/Lose anti-eological
anti-theological capital ungreen vampire gains
toward building climate threatening and threatened
shore-front high rise,
old real estate BusinessAsUsual eyes
still blind to rainbow arcs of post-millennial windmill Paradise
as a more long-range patriotic investment choice.

Why such living green prejudice?

Because it is both historical and scriptural wisdom:
Gospel people are to be known by our love for each other,
more than our investments against each other,
especially the non-elite and at risk
of other alien nations and religions and cultures
and maybe ages
and gender
and color
and fragrance
and touch
and feelings
and language
and…

GreenGrace invites us
To include wounded children and their mothers and grandmothers,
To include residents of punishing legal systems
and insane asylums
and old age homes
and persecuted sanctuaries for our failures,
To include people with disabilities
and terrorizing spirits
and disabling inside voices
and lack of outside therapeutic choices,
hope
including healthy organic and medicinal responses
to pre-existing conditions.

Do I mean pre-existing sinful mental conditions?

Not necessarily loved quite so much
as pre-existing Win/Lose ignorance of Win/Win humane nature
divine spirit
healthier multi-lateral opportunities

But, yes,
pre-existing sinful conditions
for those who experience sin
as absence of sufficiently healthy multicultural love.
Why not open polypathic bridges
across value paradigms?

What if our love within Earth’s divine everyday humanity
teaches us to value enchanting love climates
comfortable for all green
and unseen
ultra-violet resources
rather than more Win/Lose competing disvalues
exploiting no one more chaotically in military-industrialized disarray
than disenchanted RightWing Trumpian patriarchs

Who originally intended to master longterm economic green
and serve Earth’s ecological creation stories
of GreatGreen Rapture
co-relationally EarthTribe staged
and Win/Win restoratively played
co-empathically
Humane animals and plants to the Left
with Divine people on Earth’s GreenGrace Right.

Three Colored Pigs

Once upon a ZeroTime
we suffered great terror and loss.

People,
animals,
and plants
refused to speak kindly with each other
because of a Big Bad Wolf
named Ms. Climatic Change
by her delightfully demented transparents.

Most all credible scientists in that day
were prophets of falling timeless skies,
flaming forests,
failing aquifers,
fowl winds from Big Bad SheWolf’s breath,
both bad
and way too Yangishly big.

Meanwhile, most bad faith people could not believe
in this SheWolf blowing Ms. Change
until on their own doorsteps
they saw and heard Her
violently colonizing threats
to feed and birth more rabid cubs
with ravenously monotheistic intentions,
confrontations,
engagement in violence
on behalf of past and future peace.

The first little pig Blue
is a democratic optimist
especially about scientific law and hopeful order.
Her pen is made of goddess straw
and entertaining tinsel tin
because that’s all her Sacred Owner could afford
while shopping for better whips
at the repurposing station.

She had the supremely democratic displeasure
of attracting predator Wolf’s initial advances
of a most unfortunate climate event.

Her house blew Blue away
before bad WiseElder wolf covens deciphered
We’re all feeding this Big Bad SheWolf together!

So little pig Blue, reborn baptized plutocratic
by recycling fear and terror,
ran all the way to her new climate grieving home,
penned up to couch surf
with or against prickly republican fundamentalist pig Red.

Red pig called out to the Big Bad SheWolf,
Declaiming God’s punishment
for sharing too much herbal tea
and probably THC,
with eastern and southern idolators;
Calling down God’s own retribution for hugging,
and otherwise worshiping,
sacredly creative MotherTrees,
rather than begging Owner Patriarchal Sun
for next Paradise
promising a better nutritious life.

A better Red wealthy life
through normal stick-built single family
Great Economic McMansions
fenced and moated sanctuaries
from Big Bad SheWolf’s growing blowing threat
and bitter bite.

Shutting out ultra-violet nightmare rabble,
if not Big Bad SheWolf problems
of Earth’s discomforting demise
while all God’s true orthodox children
move on up to timeless Red
BusinessAsUsual Capital Paradise.

But stick-built autonomy
and boot-strap conservative sanctuaries,
for monoculturally superior pigs, metaphysicians
of intelligently systematic sacred story
and orthodox fundamental theology,
did not save Red nor Blue pigs
from Gaian love for ClimateHealth
even more powerful than God’s just punishment
through SheWolf miseries
named Ms. ClimateChange.

Even gated stick-built McMansions,
and missionary fishing boats,
and carts for shipping and shooting people
and blowing other species up
and off to dungeons
burn or flee
as Big Bad Wolf
defeats quickly fading second chances
for restoring happier make-love endings
restoring ego’s wanton piggish longing
for healthy eco-justice.

Third little pig Green
built her home of natural clay bricks and stone,
with front and back yard gardens
filled with organic edibles
and chickens
to share with Big Bad SheWolf
and all her hungry cubs,
Neighbors longing for healthier water
and soil
and divine Blue secular
and Red sacred cooperative air
for breathing in climates of matriarchal courage.

Curious SheWolf extended family courage
invited outward cooperative climates
of nonjudgmental inquiry,
spoken and non-violently mentored in WinWin organic strategies,
freedom from colonizing WinLose motivations,
filling gracefully in
as active organic creolizing vocations
to retire pandemic ClimateChange tsunamis
in favor of green international ClimateHealth
for wolf and pig,
people and planet
cooperatively self-owned EarthTribal Future Investors
in ham
and bacon
and other porky products
suitable for great-grand cubs and piglets
to never think of eating their young
and old.

All these self-producing piggy products
lived with their restoring projects together
with SheWolf and Cubs
happily ever timeless after
climate acceptance
of interdependent risks
through WinWin opportunity,
scientific ZeroSoul revolutions,
humanity metaphysical evolution,
theological non-racist systemic experiential volution,
gently knocking on open doors
for ecological solutions
and resolutions
and better organic SheWolf endings.

MotherTrees and Trumpians

Don’t yuck my yum
said trumpians to MotherTree.

Practice what you gospel loving preach
said MotherEarth embracing trumpians.

Economically yum my admittedly yucky anti-ecological reach
said trumpians to MotherEarth.

Ecologically practice the economic cooperative theology
you WinWin preach
said MotherTree to trumpian WinLose practitioners
of elite incorporated greed.

UltraViolet voices
speak in prime green laser light
yellow and red and blue bright
just right spectral balance

Hope releasing faith
Life on Earth can continue
without terrifying retributive costs
to grandchild generations
through restoring ecotherapies
massaging
purifying inhumane egos
of less than divine ultra-nonviolent intent
to merge,
at last,
hope of eternal sacred Truths
with timeless secular Beauty.

Don’t compete against my cooperative yum
said impatient ultra-violet
to primal listening color.

Healing Trumpian Design

In Permaculture Design,
and in Restorative Justice,
and in resonant Systemic Theology
for good WinWin faith
in healthy polycultural futures
rooted in wealthy past souls of regeneration
more than natures furthering degeneration,

Our Design goals
for ego’s ZeroZone habitat
have multicultural resilient self-nurturing intent
to balance diverse mutually nutritional-relational flow streams
while conserving as much of individual monocultural ego-strengths
as AxisMundi possible,
stretching
both humane investments in landscape restorations
and divine windscape liberations,
integrity of cooperatively healthy purpose.

This business of conserving monocultural ego-strengths
is a low-risk WinWin conserving opportunity,
not just a thankless maintenance task
to grow more cancerous
less arduous
than violently uprooting
what has come to us
from troubled WinLose analysis
of past problematic phenomena
of murky relationship,
and lack thereof,
for healthy wealth,
against diseased dissonant depths
of integrity’s ecological reform
And ongoing theologically sacred redesigns
of secular Earthscapes, conserving
liberally loving divine windscapes,
nature breathing spirits, respiring
gusty
blowing
silent
blustering
caresses
supremely screaming.

Even so,
those of RightWing conserving monocultural extremes
must remind our aging fossil selves
Trimming down overgrown edges
will also admit new winds of climate love,

Like Permaculture’s designers,
like restorative justice-makers,
like fundamental soul healers and evangelical ecofeminists
healthiest recall
our goals are primal polycultural relationship, restoration
is not more Win/Lose lack thereof.

Multicultural enrichment outcomes
for all democratic integrity
of future sacred lands
and green energy residents
greet winds of new-seeded spring-blown Grace,

Flowing warm and wet enchanting caresses, space
teasing us back toward loving WinWin life, place
both ecologically landscaped
and theologically embraced,
integrity’s multiculturing potential race.
