Said Hillary to Donald

Words have consequences,
said rhetorical behaviorist Hillary to Donald,
we would no more cooperatively elect a Donald Trump as President
than we would compete to win Donald Duck for Empire Builder.

Words mean things,
said linguistic behaviorist Anat
to her fellow Economist Collective,
and the absence of words means something too.
We’re not sure what
but I place my bet
on more contenting ecopolitics.

Light consequenced water,
we know this from our history of science books
but this is difficult to see
how exactly this could be
without sufficient silence to recall
what dipolar co-arising energies lie in wait
within this shared enlightenment,
progenitor of stardust
ecopoliticizing
ecologizing harmonic fertile planets
with their wet offspring.

To paraphrase Joanna Macy,
Active economics is not more wishful thinking.
Active ecopolitical words and praxis do not wait for issues
to be resurrected and remembered
by the Donald Ducks
or by some other self-serving would-be savior.

Active Hope wakes up in life’s ecological beauty
wonder
sabbath
on whose silently exquisite behalf
we can act as light.

To the Hillaries:
Follow the light,
not so much the butch rhetoric.

To the Donalds:
Follow your truth with beauty loves,
not so much your prized pathologies.

Toward Improved Conservative EcoPolitical Stamina

Note to Grover Norquist
and others with corporate political non-responsibility persuasions:

When you were 21 you “decided that nobody learned anything about politics after the age of 21.”

A few financially well-greased years later, as a professional lobbyist,
you decided if you could, you would “drown government in a bath tub.”

Which would presumably take out the government lobbyists as well,
but, never mind,
apparently you had already figured this out by the time you were 21,
deciding to feed from the hand you would drown if you only could
without inconveniencing yourself, of course.

After all, that’s what being a conservative is all about in the U.S.,
conserving personal conveniences,
queer feelings of self-reliant entitlement,
by not willing to vulnerably empathize with non-elite players,
unlikely to move or shake any money tree in your back yard.

About this drowning of government.
Would that especially include,
in fact would it necessarily first, and most primarily, include
all forms of self-governance with power-relational responsibilities
and opportunities and risks?
I mean, do you have children,
or did you have kids,
or have you ever met any kids,
or do you by chance remember being under the age of 21,
before you knew everything there is to know about self-governance?

As a parent, hoping to help adolescents move toward healthy self-governance,
does this seem like the kind of accountability and responsible behavior
that you didn’t worry so much about for your kids,
and maybe your younger neighbors and friends?
Because, after all,
presumably they would magically become just like you at 21,
and already know everything there is to know about how to self-govern
your mind
and your over-paid mouth
and your under-exercised potentially cooperative feet and hands,
trying to at least do no harm to yourself
your family
future generations
Earth
our economy
our political health as a self-governing Nation of accountability
learning how to behave within a democratically intended healthy economy
of multicultural inclusion and freedom.

Freedom to explore vocations in the public (government) sector,
like teaching
and public health and safety and security positions
without worrying about becoming another all-wise you,
because the rest of us poor public-sector slobs are still working on our cooperative WinWin gaming strategies
toward ecopolitical self-governing multicultural climatic health,
rather than the pathology of advocating public drownings
and put-downings
of those who are presumably doing the best we can
despite the self-aggrandizing behaviors of corporate conservative lobbyists,
who hear “freedom of democracy”
every time they speak behind closed doors
“freedom toward plutocracy.”

Other than that,
I have no doubt you’re doing the best you can,
bless your drowning heart.

Conjectures of a Taoist Witch

She seemed a Taoist witch to me,
with Nature free of kind grace-filling restraints.

Surprise, then, follows her response,
“Of course I recognize Jesus as son of God
and further,
celebrate his good news
that God’s creative nature remains in an evolving,
extending family way,
pregnant with healthy sons and daughters
each divinely humane,
at least potentially in time’s regenerate fullness,
our healthiest wealth wu wei.”

Not sure this sounds quite wrong enough
to provoke my evangelical supremacy,
I can only laugh with fertile pregnancy
of a less domesticated God.

Wealth Without Walls

We pursue endless climate sabbaths,
I perhaps best and worst of all,
holidays of verdant forests floating within
oceans of atmospheric tides sucking and spewing nutrient flowing matters,
slow-dancing ecopolitical issues reincarnating history
of Earth’s love of Time Herself,
rich bubbling pastures for fertile economies
of harmonically choreographed dress rehearsals,
moving from today’s creation curtain back toward First Act
preparing already our next great transition,
another season of ecopolitical regenerate life
in Promising Lands and Prophetic Seas.

Economy, like Sabbath,
epiphanies a cooperatively normed word
and competitively abnormal climate function
for any sustainable ecosystem
including bio-networking human-nature-systems

To act economically, we practice ecopolitical health.
Practice, practice, practice makes further economic climates.

My economy,
running through my days and nights,
weeks and calendar-scheduled months,
me performing with cooperative intent
internally as externally,
organically bilateral,
binomial in as out reflecting in,
bisexual Yang-form power with Yin-flow fluid function strength,
interacting as peacefully as possible,
listening deeply for my own arrogant egocentric injustices
to myself and others,
excesses of shutting-you-out power,
most vulnerably over-exercised on those I live with
and work with each day.

My competing economic-political behavior feels like struggling against
some other competitive economic force,
stronger and thereby darkly compelling,
while my cooperative ecopolitical evolution feels struggle within
my own extended family of confusion, miscommunication,
lack of sufficient awareness
that our WinLose feelings and predictions
are rooted in embryonic experience of WinWin norm-expectations for life
in this EarthTribe Cooperative.

I have a healthy economic life
and one more pathologically egocentric,
with monoculturing intent,
feeding on ethnocentric hubris
yet sabbathed in anthro-enculturing Elders,
looking for a co-messianic bodhisattva EarthTribe economy.

Ecosystems like me,
prefer our healthy ecological economies
with mutual subsidiary, multiorganic cooperation.
I expect our political power-relationships
to normatively reflect our economically balancing (0)-sum intent
and orthopraxis centers,
which is why I do not want bicameral governance structures quarreling against,
rather than discerning with,
co-empathic trust in our shared economy
as karmic
and graceful
and incarnational
and evolutionary
and even sometimes revolutionary WinWin cooperative intent.

This is how we have all been raised together
from originating Yang-sperm and Yin-oceanic eggs,
Animus-yolk hemoglobic egocenters
and Anima-nurturing chlorophyllic green ecosystems
of embryonic-empathic trust forests
in healthy economic nutritional-branching and rooting truths
as ecopolitical sabbath beauty choices.

Sabbath climates invite cooperative opportunities
where daily grinds compete to improve WinLose risks and odds pathologies
as if these could be remembered
as a good and true anthro-embryonic history
of new life revolutions.

God of Healthy Climates

God is a self-perpetuating
self-referencing
self-reiterative
self-regenerative verbal climate.

NotNot God is a timeless self-perpetuating climate
transcending extremes of climaxing health
and devolutionary pathology,
embracing
warmly and coldly
all mindbodies in-between.

AnthroSpecies’ sacred intelligence of recreating
evolving
incarnating God as our own climatic images,
capable of forecasting weather and atmosphere
and ice-melts and ozone depletions and repletions,
with empathy breathing internal mental unhealthy paranoia climates,
personal ecopolitical concerns issuing in through our senses,
breathing out through Earth’s co-empathic climates
of healthy ecotherapeutic days
and dualdark melting inferno futures.

NotNot God is climate health and pathology,
Within Yin and without Yang,
as anima-shadow below
so animus above burning rays of SunGod
heating and cooling Gaia’s human infestation,
recreating Her humane incarnation,
or so we multiculturally hope and climatically pray
and play and recreate.

Each AnthroSelf of God lives within two health climate frames
of ego-political performance,
an internal climate,
sometimes health-investing in thrifty cooperative therapies,
and an external ecopolitical climate,
sometimes too competitively stingy
to coinvest in our shared EarthTribal health,
preferring to hoard nature’s empty-caloric chump change climate
of dissonant ticking, clicking, counting, hiding despair.

Wealthier sacred sustaining liturgical incarnations
more likely evolve within fully co-invested Gods and Goddesses
of ecopolitical healthy climates.

Rise Up Struggling Lives

Rise up
significant and healthy black through white lives,
divine dignity claims our domestic peace and justice.

Advocate showing up within our own prophecy
of dual destiny potentiality.
We all live and die
but our diminished black lives are not to die
any more or less than dominant white encultured lives.

Our dignity in losing ego strengths
shouts out to gain ecopolitical equity.
This, poverty’s wilting purpose
to become reborn through nutritious soul food wealth
of multiculturing purpose.

One economic-political principle we must be sure of,
risk and opportunity ebb and flow in equal portions.
Life and death,
wealth and poverty,
could be no exception.

Risks endemic to poverty of spirit
also present opportunities to cooperatively rule
ourselves within this ecologically systemic Earth,
evolving peaceful politics
as ecojustice black through white
fragrant octave-souled polypathic beauty.

Decomposing Love

Can you truly love a rock,
you’ve never directly seen or touched,
or some other relatively inanimate object,
like ego-centrism,
or a steel wall?

If so, then how is your love
different from a more unilateral “appreciate you”?

If not, then what is different between your “love”
and your “co-passions”,
compassion,
passion with and toward,
but not “passionate energy received from,” necessarily,
or, Yes! Necessarily!?

How do you know your love is also co-passion,
reiterated and returned,
however un-equivalently expressed it may be?
Is this not a matter of positive teleological faith,
of enthymematic hope,
that boundary time between stimulus and response,
before and after,
subject and objective,
identity and relationship,
in an environ-mental health that is,
by default,
setting aside mutual immunity barriers,
to more courageously and opportunistically co-habitate,
co-incident,
co-passion love,
rather than fear, anger, anxiety,
all dissonance settings of negative default,
oppressive to self,
suppressive of others’ natural positivity,
default tipping point barometer,
that the value of one positive opportunity
edges out double-binding disvalues of two passively negative non-risk takers,
hoarding against a future
more fully defended as a contentious ally of death-defying hope.

On Social Psychology of PoliticalPower Relationships

I suppose these my self-articulating thoughts
aspire to represent our ecopolitical therapeutic arts collective.

Poetic licenses and decompositional life sentences
invested in prayer to fully incarnate,
own,
then master karmically healthy performance arts
of coarising nondually facilitated research sciences,
life through death ecotherapeutic punctuations
of rhythmic balanced fertility.

Empathic political art trusts in truths with beauty bounty.
Poetry evoking sacred liturgies
of Earth-empowering art therapy
for more enlightening stretch-canvased consciences.

Art predicating and predicting life
regenerating ecopolitical sciences
of and for healthy future co-investments
in cooperatively recycling performance thoughts
with co-empathic deep listen feelings.
