Dear Neighbors,
community co-investors,
sharing an outdoor green riverside Commons
and an indoor
historical CommonSpace
Both, and all, sacred
to panentheistic me
and probably more mundanely secular
to monoculturing LeftBrain dominant
verbally rationalistic
you
And yet, relationships of thought
and feeling always matter
to cooperative
and effective community
and sustainable educational design
Relentlessly curious
and not the least judgmental,
about who eats fish on Fridays
and who uses cannabis
to incense Buddha Shrines,
grown from experiencing “we” agree
however temporarily
and contextually informed
by ego-trauma narratives
and eco-therapeutic
indigenous
ecofeminist wisdom literature
That we can become
once again
bilaterally literate,
in which I can see
your secular LeftBrain enlightenment
as also
my sacred RightBrain
bipartisan Both/And
appositional co-arising empowerment
for co-empathic listening
and learning
from the “OtherSide”
To Both/And:
Trust that trauma-informed therapies
reflect indigenous
Beauty of ecotherapeutic integrity,
balance,
symmetry,
bilateral co-arising
dipolarity,
integral resilience
Potential to incorporate
and alternatively segregate
what compassion
and kind
robust polycultural consciousness
brings win/win together
To recreate safe learning environments
especially for those most at-risk
of not thriving
in a traumatic monoculturing
corporate environment
of chronic stress,
emotional neglect,
marginalization,
judgment,
ostracization,
shame served from entitled
LeftBrain dominant
StraightWhiteMale monocultural
monopolistic
monotheistic prominence
Endorsing retributive justice systems
cashed and coined in Blame
preferably self-inflicted,
internalized and hidden,
repressed,
suppressed,
not impressed
For not being stress-free
healthy and safe
mentally/spiritually liberated enough
to become smart,
attractive,
kind.
If our goals include education
in how to grow healthy
and safe resilience
for all sacredly integral species,
natural/spiritual elements
kids
children
adolescents
Safe and interactively healthy
for growing effective learning children
in safe and mentally healthy
win/win
cooperatively learning
polyculturally robust classrooms.
Climate anxiety
and denial constrictions
may further ensnare
those most vulnerable
to racism
genderism
ageism
ableism
capital-divestment
patriarchalism
political autocracy
anthro-supremacy
sexism
secularization
colonization
apartheid
classism
homophobia
straight-white-male privilege
win/win cooperative blindness
monocultural silo
of climatic
traumatic degenerativity
Less able to manage chronic stress
and depression
and ecocidal ideation
fears and anxiety,
oppression fronm LeftBrain dominant
patriarchal authority structures
retributive self-righteousness
inspired by monotheistic Father Above
capitalist intentions
To love all
with unconditional regard
and yet create natural law
thrival of the win/lose YangFittest
LeftBrain verbal dominance
having thrived in monoculturing competitive classrooms
threatens those who could offer
compassion
grown from accepting
and honoring expressions of vulnerability,
kindness
learned from nonviolent communication’s
value for radical transparency
