When singers meet
and singing greet
we soon begin to dance
or even take a walk
to sacred journey prance
While listening,
often lusting,
for confluence
in previously unexplored
mysterious places
Seeking resonance
fulfilling urgently resilient,
often intimate,
spaces
Times timing
for all who have sung 4/4 before
to dance among these holy
what for faces
Ringing new symphonies
of warm,
and often slightly wet,
heart strung constellations
(concerto consummations).
Capitalism
is an economic strategy
and/or theory
that harbors no inefficient room
for healthy democratic love,
to live or die trying
(and not slowly fade away
not trying)
and for concomitant
co-arising
co-relational
positive correlational
ego/eco-relational
co-passionate
compassionate
wealthy multicultural values.
Cooperativism
is an inclusive incorporating culture,
with an economic systemic plan,
a politically healthy theory
rooted in democratic
and robust multicultural
win/win privileged values.
Expectations of cruel
and unusual win/lose punishment
strategies for fake
disempowering
undemocratic justice
is what runaway cascading capitalists
dream of drowning in
each nightmare night
of winners v losers politics.
Anticipation of kind
and natural/spiritual win/win rewards
for restoring Earth’s healthy green justice
is what cooperativists
wake up to
each co-arising economically buoyant
democratic dawn
Of ecosystemic RightHemisphere rest
prevailing over
anthro-centric LeftHemisphere restlessness
about Yang global
v Yin spinal spiraling
health empowering emphasis
of multiculturally cooperative patriotism
over monoculturing capitalist fealty.
Cancerous capitalism
predative patriarchalism,
insists on runaway win/lose competitions
against EarthMother’s resilient health
and matriarchally resonant wealth
To fearlessly look
into mirrored medicine cabinets
noticing untherapeutic time’s inevitable one way
passive to active direction,
Erection of lines written
and rewritten
into this moment
of waving wonder
how resiliently limned health
reflects awesome nutritional resonance
of discontinuous assymetricl deviance
cognitive dissonance
waving
weaving toward affective rooted absence
of anticipated confluence,
Like bumps
lumps
wrinkles
mountains and valleys
of emergent theologically grand minds
in aging
ancient ecologically small organic bodies
Imagining climate pathological end
of healthy living green/blue Earth
predicted in commencement of cancerous capitalism
written in lines of greedy eyes
and needy ears
for egocentric masculine opportunity,
predative perpetuity.
I have noticed
in negative strong
long feeling settings
a willingness
to accept impatience
to reluctantly embrace tolerance
and Agree to DisAgree.
Yet, to equate this conclusion
with cooperatively
and actively Agreeing to Positively Agree
with anticipation
rather than further win/lose anxiety
would be to overvalue tolerance
and to underestimate
differences between systemic logic
and self-deceiving fallacy.
We do not meet
win/win standards of nonviolently held energy,
powers of positive communication praxis,
by Agreeing to DisAgree,
shrugging
and leaving the dialogue
with win or lose, who knows?
back to hopeless stuckness,
but now further entrenched
in frustrating
increasingly impatient,
look some other way
tolerance
Of a society
too dumb to GoldenRule agree
to act as decent as a healthy family,
And too ignorant
to co-invest in present
and future green integrity.
To believe agreeing to disagree
is sufficient for short-term bridges,
let us be forewarned
agreeing to not yet agree
on reassuring regenerative plans
for healthy green democracy,
Is quite far from cooperative value enhancements
of agreeing to co-passionately agree
we are here together
for all EarthTribe’s health and safety
Multiculturally cooperative
eco-political regenerativity,
revolutionary 20/20
democratic positive energy.
Death and life
are a degenerate/regenerate transformation
of negative/positive energy,
space flowing time’s sustaining identity;
Therapeutic transubstantiation
for those with ecopolitical maturity,
to sensory
sensual,
even sexual, power identify
with all generations before;
And, for those who have
communed
compassioned
communificated
with generous
grateful sufficiency,
transforming humane regenerators
yet to arrive
On spiraling
revolutionary Earth,
born of sacred EarthMother’s
primal metamorphic eucharist,
attachment
creation
recreation,
healthing green
and wealthing blue
and ultra non-violet regenesis.
When I was a Big Brother
for Jason,
an African-American 10 year old male,
we went into his apartment
so he could look around
for a long overdue library book.
As I accompanied him
from room to sparsely furnished room,
looking in nearly vacant closets,
cupboards,
drawers,
the only book we found
was a phone book,
looking silently neglected
much more than actively abused.
My first white male privileged
feelings about his Mom
had to do with blaming her
for probably not even feeling ashamed
for her irresponsible choices
while economically and politically administering
their bookless house
in this pre-WWW information age.
But, then I began asking questions.
What could Jason tell me
about his Mom’s life
when she was his age?
What were stories
familiar to her,
read
or retold
or experienced
and re-experienced,
therapeutic or traumatic?
Through this widening narrative moment
of multigenerational conjecture,
hypothesis,
questioning,
contemplating,
I also learned to question
what traumatic straight white male stories
are experienced by gay
and bisexual
and transsexual 10-year-olds,
regardless of racial identification,
And by 10-year-old girls,
perhaps regardless of racial identification,
or even further amplified
by being doubly,
and silently, outside
straight white patriarchal privilege.
I found myself
suddenly
tearfully
incapable of briefly imagining
much less deeply,
unflinchingly contemplating
the trauma
of growing up poor
and lesbian
and black or brown
or too red
or too yellow
without any books
or stories,
read
or retold
or experienced
about how her 10-year-old life will matter,
could be healthy, someday,
would ever be felt safe,
unless held shamefully silent,
Not appropriate material
for books
or retelling
or experiencing straight
white
male dominant stories,
economic
and political narratives
about retributive trauma
and not multicultural
restorative
democratically inclusive therapy.
Ask not
only what a Biden Presidency
will do to Wall Street,
Ask also
what will Wall Street
receive/not receive
from a continuing Trump
and nationalist Republican
legacy of public
and global,
natural
and spiritual
health divestment.
The problem with positive psychology,
said the good doctor,
it is too social science squishy,
not leftbrain prickly enough
for natural science pathologists
proctologists
urologists
cardiologists
and invasive neurologists.
I must concede
not prickly enough
indeed
said the polyvagal systems neurologist,
but sometimes premature complexity
looks like yet another chaos theory,
and sometimes spiritual prepowerment
feels like merely natural enlightenment
yet deja vu,
and sometimes too bilaterally sticky
predicts co-arising redundant dipolarity,
Neurological bilateral structures
of left meets right hemispheres
as West greets East
multicultural mediation
as ego hugs ecosystemic health-rooted trees
of reverse hierarchical
above Truth lies downside Beauty.
Mesmerizing,
I’m sure,
temporized the Earth Therapist,
while human nature
military-industrializes ancient cooperative relationships
the remainder of EarthTribes
continue to evolve and emerge,
breathe out and in
bilateral gooey prickles
social and natural
metaphysical and physical
ecosystemically informed egocenters,
communitarian capitals,
well-timed spatial places
Not knotted polyvagal positive theories
of EarthMother’s original neurological root systems,
bicamerally restructuring
to emerge new leftbrain capital-invested upstarts
of deductive
reductive
extractive
either/or dominant thinking
When too engorged,
unilaterally engaged,
prejudicially divested,
unknotted,
untied,
profoundly detached
yang v yin pathology
for sufficiently prickly/gooey
mountainous river valleys of in-between
ego/ecometric bardos balance
Living/dying
inside outside EarthTribe
cooperative bilateral empathy
ecologically theological,
naturally social sacred,
historically multicultural,
anciently new green organic age,
biological neuro-system flowing
Fractal DNA
primal four dimensional spacetime
not ZeroSum
ZeroCore
prickly full of Either/Or bilaterals
and gooey Both/And bicameral
not not empty
enthymematic reiterations
of prickly force Yang
and gooey flow Yin,
win/lose exploration
and win/win absorption,
exhaling capitals
and inhaling communions,
natural empowering light
and social enlightening beauty
of positive eco-political psychology.
My life thoughts darkly whisper
of mortality,
hidden,
like shame,
As my death lightly wanders
through eternity,
infinite,
like timelessness.
Economic wealth roots from light,
enlightenment
as
Political health branches through power,
empowerment.
Space captures deducted form
as
Time frees inductive function
As punishing absence of peace exhales
bad monotheistic climates
so restoring justice can refill
creolizing multicultures,
co-passionate dipolar co-arisings
like life
and death
and bicameral paradox
bilateral fractal box
in-between
Space invites unconfined energy,
co-gravitating as
Time remembers unSourced energy,
democratically uniting co-passions
throughout past
and future regenerations.
Left hemisphere ergodically longs
to restore immortal justice
as
Right hemisphere ionically belongs
to wondrously interdependent
contextual
multicultural
transubstantiating
synergetic
holonic
holy
sacred peace
Kingdoms of God
QueenSeas of EarthMother Wombs,
Fathers
and HolonicWinds/HolyWaves.
Yang invests in ecosystemic light
as
Yin divests of egocentric
economic
capitalistic
win/lose anthro-centric
anti-ecological
degenerative
patriarchally predative
LeftBrain monoculturally dominating
power.
Economically cooperative experiences
darkly whisper of mortality,
hidden,
like egotistic shame,
UnCompetitive fear of death lustily wanders
through enculturing eternity,
infinite history,
like angry timelessness.
Sogyal Rinpoche,
and all the Rinpoche family before him,
prescribes therapeutic merit
of contemplating my Master’s face.
For ecotherapists
the Master of Regenerative Intent
is also Mother Earth’s face,
climate,
multicultural health
in ecological/theological harmony.
EcoTherapists,
like ancient saints and sacred scriptures,
teachers and teachings,
oral tradition Tellers
and Experiential ReTellers,
do not distinguish
between secular ecological relationships
and sacred theological co-passions
Because we cannot see
or hear,
feel
or touch,
taste
or smell any difference
that makes a difference
between exterior left-hemisphere dominant
YangNature
and interior right-hemisphere ecofeminist
YinSpirit
In appositional dialogue
and not unhealthy oppositional debate.
Anyway,
whether because of dualistic blindness
or nondualistic wisdom,
or both physical experience
and metaphysical theory,
or all above and below
tipping points of universal mediation,
Gazing on the Face of Earth
is, for this ecotherapist,
a growing awareness
of changing enlightenment,
beginning with dawn source East
and ending with dusk’s last gasp
surrounding light’s enculturing dominance
fading from East toward West.
In this light’s day
my brown-skinned daughter
with lively brown crossed eyes,
born addicted to alcohol,
leaves the light and darkness of my home
to enter a residential facility
Paid for by the State of Connecticut
and staffed by a non-profit Lutheran agency,
with professional behaviorists
and egotherapists,
left and right hemisphere teachers
of deep learning
spiritual emotions with natural thoughts,
natural thoughts expressing spiritual
sensory sensed
healthy healthed feelings,
co-arising Earth’s facial ease
v disease,
light v dark,
empowerment v entropy.
But, even today,
as we finish packing
and travel for an hour
and go through this postVirus placement,
the profound and most significant drama
of light unfolds
across the Face of our exterior Mother
Where sun and shadow
again sweep
and climax
and wane
Where seasonal climate
and daily temperature and humidity,
rooted in yesterday’s pre-millennial climate
and global subclimates,
branch out
toward tomorrow’s regenerative
and degenerative
health wealth and pathology stealth trends,
co-arising this day’s unique permacultural opera
Witnessing
and celebrating operations
of daily changing
uniquely evolving
resiliently revolving Face
my daughter’s new and old homes
of light and shadow
resolutely best embrace.
