Community Resilience Projects
Condominiums are healthiest
and safest
as cooperative housing
owned from inside each embodied unit
and shared in common co-invested spaces
outside each individuated unit
together forming one living,
preferably nonviolent communicating,
empowering win/win resonant
restorative inside peace
and outside justice resolution
for cooperatively enlightened resilience.
Indigenously healthy
wealthy
and wise condo residents
come to our community
already trauma informed
and deformed,
seeking verbal and nonverbal
compassionate and nonviolent
common communication practices
Which focus equally on win/win felt trauma management
of past win/lose offenders
AND
our cooperatively therapeutic resilient health
promoting public co-invested wealth
supporting our indigenous win/lose traumatized victims
of aggressive
LeftBrain dominant
micro-cultural
and macro-climate environmental aggressions
Miscommunicating further win/lose competitive anxieties
through macro-violence
Discommunicating
excommunicating
EarthTribe’s Cooperative Resilience Project
Despite our vicious peaking
Great Transitional Experience
of climates communicating

lose/lose dissociative

Which may be why

and commercial
and educational
and inter-religious
and multicultural
and polytheistic
and polypathic
and polyphonic
and polyvagal neuro-systemic
resilient condominiums
are private/public health projects
Anthro/EarthTribe safest
environmental communities
When panentheistically organic
green outside empowered energy
and red inside enlightened synergy
together resiliently projecting
cooperatively governed co-housing.
CoOperative Communion
These people I safely know
who like to healthy grow
fail to distinguish
between cooperative housing
and cooperative households
Which
as we all seem to know
although textbooks often fail to show
include cooperative gardening
and cooperative farming
and possibly cooperative
organic management
of a polytheistic living planet.
In each interdependent case
we explore something together,
some primal trinitarian relationship
between healthy resilience
and safe transitions
and beautifully balanced
resonant energy
Synergy produces
co-arising fruits of sexual
sensual
and sacred exotic
erotic regenerate sensations
Further witchy wonder which,
like a resonantly tasty
and fragrant,
richly brown and black
white and green
orange and yellow
red textured
robust stew,
Cooperatively touch
and feel
and show
and thereby know
a primally sublime
healthy
safe
and beautiful home.
Relationships I Hope For
I need clear blue rivers of life
to not always flow away from me,
in some direction
I can’t
or won’t
go right now.
I need green commitments to home
to feel mutually nurturing,
sheltering,
organic,
peaceful,
cooperatively engaging
in nonviolent communion,
co-passionate integrity
of sacred emergent space.
I need the sky
to not always feel grey,
dampening my curious natural spirits.
Instead,
I want to always imagine,
as needed,
as invited,
as if sun summoned,
a radiant blue sky
singing reflections
of invisible spinning stars
on the other
lighter side
of deepest icy winter’s
dense
dull
dark cloud bank
of settled in oppression.
I need rich black soil
to support my feet,
my nose,
my stomach,
green trees,
brightly colored plants
and amazing animated animals
giving back robust excretions,
reparations for past extractions,
borrowed co-investments
infesting EarthTribal
creolizing rich brown humus.
I need my rain-bowed neighbors
to notice
applaud
cheer
celebrate
when two elegantly athletic white swans
sensationally fly upstream
to hang out at our downtown harbor
where we eat
and drink,
rest
and float,
dream
and gloat,
on land
and sandy water,
at least side by side,
if not honking happy
swimming together.
Benediction of Return
May you soon return
not as disempowered
disabled
and woefully unenlightened,
trespassing against integrity,
against peace
and restoring healthy justice
Nor even as an honored
LeftBrain dominating guest.
May you soon return
to our compassionate Home,
where loving voices
speak up courageously
for co-empowering dances
curiously sung
in co-enlightened scales
of benediction.
Sabbath Hope
I hope to visit next Sunday
on a warm
sunny
early PeaceGiving afternoon
Outside with my wounded Daughter’s
extending therapeutic family
with win/win playful
and richly resonant intent
Inside her new
young
empowering
and cooperatively enlightened
Thankful
mind-full music
and muse dancing
mythically
mysteriously
majestically joyful home.
Where is HOME?
Among several sublime
and subprime
sacred meanings
and secular purposes
for HOME,
in October Sunbeams
of BlueSky enlightenment
and GreenEarth empowerment,
Dennis Lehane’s HOME
refining peaceful stable minds
defining sacred communion
for unconditional compassionate love,
not intentionally unkind
I could not sync
with mythological
or ecological
or theological CONCEIT
But, could not find a replacement
until recalling indigenously wise
nature-spirited refacement
of EarthMother’s EcoRoom,
a regenerate matriarchal WOMB
Making peace for Here
Now sacred place,
until we disregard
dismantle
desecrate
and degenerate,
in AnthroSupremacist ways,
down toward MotherEarth’s TOMB
GLOOM
Extracted
cancelled
pathological HOME
of DOOM
Which maybe does say something
about mythologically epic
CONCEIT.
Note: This piece refers to
“Happiness doesn’t lie in conspicuous consumption and the relentless amassing of useless crap. Happiness lies in the person sitting beside you and your ability to talk to them. Happiness is clearheaded human interaction and empathy. Happiness is home. And home is not a house–home is a mythological conceit. It is a state of mind. A place of communion and unconditional love.
Dennis Lehane, in The Sun (magazine), “Sunbeams,” p. 48, October, 2021
Finding Healthy Home
I feel stuck in a web of moving on
to leave home behind.
I want to be free of safe turtle shells,
to commune with naked nature
including human,
divine,
humane,
wombmain
not excluding any egostrong stability,
identity,
fragility
as if intolerable
to civil integrity.
I need to grow free,
to feel communion
within
without
above
below
for and of all nature/spirit souls,
timelessly copresent in- and ex-carnations
explicitly remembered
and vaguely
curiously
transparently
vulnerably forgotten
fuels of felt fame
exhausted and ingested,
sober and jested.
I am asking
invoking,
exhaling and inhaling,
possibly provoking
Earth
and all Her Tribes
all Her Eternal Times,
all Her Sacred Spaces
impressed
and suppressed
and depressed
wombmain neural regenerative Places:
When I must at last choose home
between secular wise purpose
and sacred integral meaning,
Remind me,
Mother’s birthing nature,
of all our polypathic indigenous ways,
of all organic truths
indicating this ego identity could not be all trusted home
within one compassionate EarthLove.
Harmonic Home
My next right climate,
environment,
home,
will amply express interdependent health values,
need for belonging,
wanting to grow in resonant meaning,
cooperative resilient becoming
GoldenRule cooperative
Win/Win non-zero sum energy faith-filled;
My next right/left multiculture
Will be felt
to become known;
Will be ego-known
to become eco-home.
Some inside/outside interdependent climates
are a better known fit for Now
And Now is this timeless moment
between historic memories,
warm and cold,
fertile and barren,
And future multiculturing images
of creolizing warm more than colonizing cold,
of fertile more than barren,
of love more than hate,
of life more than dying,
of compassion more than violence,
of Yes more than not known Now.
And Still We Search
I’ll be turning 68 this spring
and still looking for a health wealthy home.
This feels remarkably like a younger traveler’s game,
with less baggage
and furniture
and tools.
Embarrassing
for an ecotherapist
to be so Earth-habitat unrooted.
Not to indulge in self-shaming,
yet my youngest son,
dependent on EarthTribe to support him
because of physical and verbal dysfunction,
is especially threatened
by Dad’s disability
to seek deep and wide root systems
of affiliation
with natural and spiritual neighbors.
My support system
continues with good faith feedback
that every challenge represents opportunities to learn
and doing so keeps us feeling young,
flexible,
even springy,
optimistic.
I wonder how much older I would feel
if I had never left my family farm birthplace
in Michigan
where this nomad epic wandering
was first inspired
to run into young adulthood
on my own two strong legs
and back
and more orthodox mind.
Now more imaginatively stimulated
by heretical thoughts of a well-cushioned rocker
next to a comforting fire,
surrounded by neighbors,
people
and birds,
squirrels
and rabbits,
chipmunks
and woodchucks,
fox
and shy coyotes,
wild turkeys
and horses
and cattle,
sheep
and goats,
mother trees
and lilac bushes,
a blue lake
and a green alpine mountain,
a shade speckled rocky river…
And still I search
for compassionate companions
on this daily revolving journey
through Earth’s nutrition nurturing seasons
active and dormant,
light with rain and snow,
sometimes feeling far too fast
and sometimes anciently slow…
And still we search,
my son and I,
for yet another right place to go.
