Sympathy Isn’t Quite Empathy

To affirm and promote acceptance
of one another
and all together one
is to also affirm and promote
growing capacity for active empathy,
not settling for passive,
sometimes also ToughLove aggressive,
sympathy

The best possible outcome
being mere liberating tolerance–
which is still a big evolutionary step up
from conservative survivalist
intolerance,

Which anyone
who is in any way
not BusinessAsUsual
LeftBrain dominant
StraightWhite patriarchal
can tell you,
at probable great anecdotal length
personal
political
economic
cultural
education sadly replete
with unsystemic intolerance
of indigenously sacred
Wisdom

That win/lose passive tolerance
is NOT active
democratically healthy
wealthy multicultural acceptance,
an immensely positive moral
legal
spiritual
natural polycultural
deep immersion value

Omnipotently integral potential knowledge
of why eco-political empowerment
and enlightening wisdom
are more than mere personal win/lose tolerance

LeftBrain dominantly verbalized
capitalized
fathered YangPower
against EarthMothering YintegraLight

Of HerStoric wise-felt feeling
knowledge
co-investing in empathic Wisdom

To affirm and promote acceptance
of one another
and all together one.

Tolerating the Intolerable

I cannot tolerate
those who are intolerant,

I cannot stand
those who take a stand
against unknown others
unlike themselves,
much less than we are truly
health and safety seekers
multiculturally alike.

I can tolerate anything
except intolerance,
most certainly including impatience with myself,
not excluding my esteeming
estimating
assessing
empathizing
sympathizing
realizing
without finalizing
self and others
as myself
in others
as myself
co-empathic within other
cooperatively tolerant relationships.

I cannot not multiculturally tolerate
monoculturally elitist tolerance
of injury to MotherEarth,
of patriarchal-capitalist
straight white incorporated privilege
of which I am so much an unwilling
and unwitting
and unwisely competing un-part.

I can tolerate anything
except intolerant exceptions
to multicultural GoldenRules
to love unto others
as I would be loved,
as I tolerantly,
yet impatiently,
without active curiosity
about afflicting win/lose experiential wounds,
love my left egoself
as eco-other

Best at loving
my more than tolerant
best and brightest ecosystemic Teacher,
Master,
Mistress,
Mother,
Father,
Outdoor GreenGodVoices and Inside Healthy EarthChoices,
CoCreators of all EarthTribes,
as my actively cooperative green Self
as part of LifeSystemic InterDependent Tolerance Habitats,

More of a right-hemisphere tolerated HumanTruth
is also left-hemisphere
awesomely unfathomable EarthBeauty

Sacred vocation into selfless worship
of His/Her barely tolerable comings
and goings,
solstice
and equinox,
inhales
and exhales,
yang tolerant strengths
and yintegrity’s intolerance
of business as usual
lack of win/win
green cooperative inspiration
inhalations,
more tolerant intimations.

I cannot remain uncurious
about my own monculturing,
dualistic,
anthro-supremacist
Sacred EarthMother denialistic
pathological
pedagogical
apartheid tolerance
and disinvestments
away from cooperative polycultural EarthHealth Systems,

Care giving and receiving
democratic
social
public
biological
mental
animated
energetic
ecological
synergetic
pedagogical
theological
eco-political
healthy multi-systemic
poly-paradigmatic resilience

And so I ask
through my intolerably insatiable curiosity,
what is the greatest experience you have had
so far,
of self
as part of other?

And, my answer
ubiquitous in original gifted,
fore-given onto Earth’s
vast green living birthday context

MultiColored in associated feelings,
ranging from
“everyday since ego’s embodied birth
continues my grateful eco-celebration
of positive healthy neuro-psychological systems”
to
“everyday since has been hellishly
wounding downhill.”

It is these latter intolerable losses
and sorrows
and sufferings
painfully defensive monoculturists,
like my egoSelf,
are most likely to impatiently challenge
my yin-flexible plasticity
toward restoring win/win active curiosity

Responding to such hopelessly naive
green optimism
with defensive win/lose intolerance
for risking active healthing hope
of wealthy faith
in lavishly liberal love

When all intolerably long debating
shouting
and highly competitive
corporate marketed evidence
of my lifelong miseducated
and diseducated unhealthy
win/lose normative economic
devolutionary
disempowering
disillusioning
inevitable and intolerable
lose only to mortally lose
nihilistic theorized experience
ignores all green signs
of fore-giving cooperative economics,
co-redemption messianic politics,
restorative justice,
non-violent communication networks,
organic polycultural systems designers,
democratizing health/wealth bicameral tolerance

Today too red egocentrically limited
to progressive green WinWinners
gifting forward political economies
supporting local win/win value communications
intentions
more than tolerant appreciations,
slow-grown sacred applications,
prayers,
anthems

To global green compassion,
far beyond mere tolerance,
for Earth’s GreatCommons,
for Her Indigenous GreenCommunion.

Enough to be Dangerous

Do you know the concern?
“S/he knows just enough
about a through z
to be dangerous.”

I am uncomfortably familiar
with this analysis,
a weapon often wielded
from ivory towers
overly influenced by ideology
masquerading as theory
rooted in statistically measured experience,
severed from historical-cultural,
biological-neurological indigenous context.

Even so,
one feeling I am sure of
my own too robust expertise
is Intolerance.

And, now I am discovering
I have chosen to join a community
with a multicultural intention
to embrace,
or at least tolerate,
all souls,
all species,
all living systems
except those deemed too intolerant,
too wounded,
for multicultural health
as a resonant indicator
of economic and political wealth.

We are exclusively intolerant
of intolerance
because we would provide safe sanctuary
to all souls,
especially victims of monoculturing intolerance,
of win/lose economic and political supremacy,
strategy
gamesmanship.

I find a tension here
between unconditional love
and lacking sufficient curiosity
and courage
to discuss shared values
and disvalues
with those too defensive
too hurt
too lost
too conservative
to tolerate intolerably queer me,
to tolerate the alien Other.

This reactionary intolerance
of intolerant prejudice
bigotry
often straight white male supremacy,
feels like further breeding ground
for misunderstanding,
segregation,
mutual divestment business as usual,
more win/lose devolutionary anger and fear,
more potential violence,
hate,
war

More egocentric privilege
rather than universal ecosystemic love power

Actively hoping to cooperatively uncover win/win
polycultural resolutions
resiliently curious
and courageous
when in the presence of win/lose competitions
intolerant of active hope
for restoring peace
by retiring retributively inflicted punishment
shunning
non-communication
anti-communion
for past sins of intolerance.
