Planning Graceful Oldishness

In my early 70s (not THE early 70s) I discovered, without having had the benefit of being properly schooled for old age planning, that “long-term lifetime goals” have become “longish term waistline objectives” over maybe the next decade or so.

The retiring, too quickly transpiring, nature of these hoped for outcomes has also triaged down to a more responsible mature adult scale of peace-making literacy:
good health plans for resilient physical dexterity,
(used to be sexual athleticism)
good humored anticipation of resonant mental acuity,
(used to be world-famous genius)
and good faith passion for integrity
(used to be making a living by doing something not hopelessly toxic to everyone, everything, everywhere, all the time).

Big surprise in the gerontology department, lesser quantity of life, but healthier qualities of love.

A Taoist’s pronoia version of fair trade.
(used to mean not-fair-trade paranoia about getting ripped off by suspiciously threatening Others, God, Aliens, Big Brother, Artificial Intelligence, Big Pharma, Big Government, Big Bullies, too much over-capitalized, and weaponized, Bigness, etc.)

Now I practice compassion-engaging faith and humor and health by responding to systemic TrumPublican trauma with music and movement therapy, and writing sexual politics poetry, for which there is not a large commercial market, and practicing good liturgical song and dance.

Now in my 70s, I’ve also noticed that good sacred music, like good humor, and good health, is not just about commitment to the stretching movement, but also to the silent rest.

Bad Humors Destroy Feelers

Good Humors Create Healers

Electing and selecting humorless weaponed officials
to legislate and administer laws
empowering challenged and challenging
unarmed natures,
is like expecting a rabid rattlesnake
to advocate with and for patience,
understanding through calming and merciful listening,
to apply active love’s curiously empathic trust,
which no just law, or logical practice thereof, could prohibit.

The truth of complex situations,
so necessary to uncover for wise application of our ethical codes
for economic and political behaviors,
is best accessed by vulner-ability
to co-empathic trust,
active listening,
Basic Win/Win Anticipation,
as is intelligent paradoxical humor.

Loss of humor’s appositional equanimity
is an ominous spiritual v natural sign
Yet another rabidly riled-up,
not yet cooled-down, rattlesnake
with too much “healthiest defense
is a massively wealthy offense”
post-traumatic neurosystemic intelligence.

If you are feeling like delivering toxic venom,
rather than inviting kindness in return,
then probably best and brightest
to stay home
and curl up on a warm rock.

Hard-hearted victimization intent
to neglect and abuse,
marginalize and criminalize, others
is not softened or redeemed
by anything less or more than orthopraxis of loving kindness
with a good-humored smile, as possible,
without someone thinking you are up to something devious.

Pronoia’s comedy is most effective therapeutic drama
when transparently co-responding
to the co-empathic paradox
of paranoia’s tragically triggered trauma.

Those who expect citizens to behave civilly,
best mentor what they would optimally hope to see
on our FlashMob singing streets
and not MassMurder flinging roads
and life’s Competing Business As Usual highways
and bad rumored conspiracy byways.

Front-line customer service to those suspected,
or even known,
to struggle with bad-sad-mad humored tendencies,
cannot be optimally effective
by treating them to further misdemeanors of humorless
unglad
cold-blooded
unsym-pathetic
systemic winner v loser
0-sum paranoid rabidity.

Are you in our shared health-humored busyness?
or in our too much anger/fear pathological business,
or, paradoxically, both?

If both,
which direction seems to bring you,
and the rest of us,
economically wealthier ecological,
and healthier political,
resilient relationship outcomes?

I would love to anticipate more good humored officials
(and clergy)
for multiculturally transformative public health
and become less anxious
about officious nests
of reformative rattlesnakes
threatening venomous rabidity
of bad-sad-mad humored pathology.

EarthTribe AnthroPoids

AnthroPoids
standing tall
on both hind feet

Are a great aped longing
to belong

Without getting down
on all four transportive limbs

Stretching down
and dusking in

ReImagining
another dawning day
empowering
and enlightening
daytime’s life

Vulnerably wise
and transparently healthy

EarthPassioned AnthroPoids
dancing in tall circles
singing on both hind feet.

Ferry Beach Fairy TransFormation

What did I take away
from summer camp?

Not COVID
this year,
nor the clap.

But, instead
a more resilient health
of authentic sacred wealth

TransFormative dance
singing integrity’s great
synergetic
bromance.

Polyphonic men
mind and body embracing
polypathic gods
re-imaging goddesses
engaging all us in-between
communal transubstantiations.

My own spirited mind
and strong natured body transmutation
has not been solely limited by Others’
lack of win/win imagination

But also,
perhaps primarily
and primally,
by my own win straight mind
lose queer body trauma story,
His-poled v Her-holed history

Mind blaming
and body shaming
Left hemisphere’s lack
of co-passioned pleasuring
Right-now transcendent
peak co-experienced mystery

More resiliently inquiring–
What transformative longing
does bromance take away
from summer’s sacred belonging
mind and body camp?

Polite Mess

Politeness,
like kindness,
may not sell newspapers
or win the partisan debate

Civility,
unlike deviliciousness,
will not win the civil war
nor leverage the biggest tax rebate

But integrity
is the world wide web of nature
that composed the paper
and incubates
the peace we celebrate
when impolite love to hate
of systemic trauma gates
recede well past faded
therapeutic empathy,
becoming civilly sedate

Singing while dancing
in politely well-said company
not seen
or heard from
of late.

Freedom to Taste and See

Our green campus favorite
MuseSpeech Teacher
always hosted outside seminars
at noon,
Sharp!

And served chocolates
while mentoring
Her systemic theology

“Doesn’t get on well
with academic secularized ecology
we have
and have not
personally experienced.”

This is today’s thesis
and antithesis
for engaging stories
of synergetic peak experiences,
amusing EarthBright passions,
peace-warrior beauty,
scents of sage sensed joy.

S/he mediates lunchtime vocations
inviting us to try again
replacing all our “mono” orthodox theories,
with “poly” orthopraxis
to reconsider
healthy freedoms
shamelessly uncovered
through personal experience.

Trading in monotheistic theories
for polytheistic compassion

Monocultural nationalism
for polycultural globalism

Mono-polistic win/lose contention
for poly-polistic win/win intention.

As our internal clocks
move from ZeroSoul search
to OneSum find,
s/he concisely
and precisely creolizes
resilient bipartisan
transparency
through less transient opportunities
for curiosity

“Thank you for investing this lunchtime
with me
and each sacred Other
to learn to listen
before speaking nighttime’s questions,
wondering and wandering on
and on
about why tumescent monotheistic poles
most always feel so happy
to taste and smell
our officious pantheistic holes.”

Life and Death of Supremacy

The difference
between RightWing political
and economic autism,
and Religious Right monotheism,
has been greatly exaggerated

To this post-millennial tipping point
of monopolistic omnipotence
predicting sacred Earth’s matricide

By LeftBrain-RightHand
dogmatic dominance
of a judgmental (straight-white) Jehovah
or a militaristic Allah
or a dogmatic YHWH
or a patriarchal Buddha
or a capitalist Krishna
etc
etc
etc

Made in
anthrosupremacism’s
competitive evolutionary
win/lose
Yang v Yin
Universal-MonoTheistic Truth v Unitarian-PolyCultural Beauty
survival-of-fittest v thrival-for-fit-in-ingest

Wildly exaggerated images,
polarized
partisan
disassociated
traumatizing
schizzy-autistic
rabidly over-populated
weak-X neurosystemic.

Defying Yang/Yin resonant
natural resilience
of peak sensexual
spiritual experience

Totally LeftBrain ignored
while justifying divine right
to a manifest EarthTribe destiny
of Hell on Earth ecocide.

Circling Muses

Music
especially sacred music
feels round

Not such clear lines
prescribing desecrating marches
needing to move somewhere
noting something
speaking against someone
in StraightWhite privileged time

Right/Left balancing divas
sometimes sing in resonant rounds,
round
and round
in circling spirals
never-ending spectral ribbons
eventually blending communion,
emphatically good-spirited
and not dogmatically ill-natured.

So,
to liberated lovers
lusting Left
toward green cooperative choices

And,
to conservative clingers
leaning Right
toward red competitive voices

If you must shout
to overcome dissent

If you can’t sing
and, preferably, dance
all our circling positions
recycling postures
resonating preferences
policies for round
robust
regenerative win-wins

Mind bodied pleasure,
spirit natured peace,
time-spaced Paradise

Then you may be ready
for a lack luster
not really healthy
economic
and political performance

But not yet roundly mature enough,
just yet,
to sing and dance
our multi-cultured communion
prayers

Spiraling in-between
universal root
and unitarian crown
round looping chakras

Circling
and recircling
polyphonic sound
and polypathic sight,
wellbeing sung
and wellness danced.

Before Christ Began

Before we begin,
I want to introduce
my most hopeful self

Before we begin
life’s communication
we know love’s energy

Mother and Child
intimacy
sacred mild
intricacy
integrity…

Resonant hearts beating
repeating
+1 then 0 then -1
circling around again
without growing rest
or restless

As invisible
as air to Goddesses,
as healthy water
to wishing fish

Octaves of musical notes
resilient health
capitalized Ego unfolding
ecosystemic green integrity
engaging this enculturing assembly.

Before we begin
communication of positive
and negative

Same Old Solo Song and Lonely Thanksgiving Dance

A mental health difference
between being stuck
in an impoverished designation
and being stuck
trying to merely survive
with mostly “Loser” marginalization
dehydration
ancient locked-up degeneration

Feels like same difference
between economic red-lined
unenlightened Othering
smothering suppression
and flat-lined politically disempowering

Feels like a thoughtful distinction
with a felt difference

Either/Or neurosystemic instinctive imposition

And slowly becoming unstuck
through a more joyful mind/body journey
developing win-left/win-right

seriously constipated prominent
Patriarchal-Capitalist
