Dawnland Testimony

Honorable Members of the Mainiac Judiciary Committee

I hold gratitude for you, and for the Wabanaki Tribe of indigenous wisdom, on whose land we deeply listen for this opportunity to address this Committee with a healthy democracy agenda.

My name is Mother Eartha, a wildly undomesticated Peace Warrior, and I am here on behalf of Maine’s Unitarian-Universalist LGBTQ identities, young and old, schooled and unschooled, and all of our inter-religious and indigenous Allies.

I also speak as one leaf on a sacred MotherTree providing overwhelming religiously interwoven opposition to the neurosystemic trauma-perpetuating bills before this committee today.

I stand with LGBTQ powers of polytheistic love, not lust for monotheistic suppressive powers, darkly homophobic, xenophobic, and misogynistic, betraying fear of a polyculturally healthy future binding us together in EarthMother’s neuro-inclusive sacred communion.

Too often victims of RightWing systemic trauma; physically abused and emotionally neglected, disenfranchised, marginalized, imprisoned, raped, face-slapped, sexually molested, vilified, spit at, reviled, burned, sold, murdered, starved, abandoned.

We have received the IrReligious Wrong’s message that a wounded, lonely, and jealous Great Straight White Patriarch has given lip-service to a vengeful god of fear- and anger-mongering, actively campaigning for sacrilegious mal-governance and dissociative discommunication, standing aggressively apart from EarthMother’s Holy NatureSpirit.

The politicized will to disempower neurosystemic diversity lies irreligiously outside sufficiently reweaving natural curiosity to find value in recreating healthy and environmentally safe indoor and outdoor classrooms, organically sacred parks and compassionate bodies of bicameral congress in which we can all empower love for enlightened indigenous learning.

Together, without demonizing polarization, we can deeply revive, reweave, re-ligion how to govern our synergetic minds and sacred bodies to make compassionate peace paths, and not irreligious warpaths.

What will be different for us, if these unhealthy, unwise, and economically unwealthy proposals, without biological or ecological or theological merit, were to pass unchallenged by spiritually enlightened minds and naturally empowered bodies:

Maybe, just maybe, we would not have to see and feel another wave of suicide, matricide, self-harm, risky and socially expensive self-medication among our burgeoning generation of young people with a diverse panoply of neurosystemic and ecocidal risks, as we re-ligiously revive indigenously sacred opportunities to thrive in green meadows of compassion and blue oceans of synergetic pleasure.

Thank you, FatherSun and MotherEarth, for this opportunity to share UniversalHealth and UnitarianWealth perspectives with this Committee.

I urge all bicamerally intelligent bipartisans to deeply listen as thousands of neurodiverse potential voters sing and dance our Peace Warrior invocation to your Great White SunFather: We “Ought not to need to Pass” this sacrilege to our next Seven Generations

because all multiculturally sacred EarthTribe indigenously, naturally, spiritually, religiously remembers: We are better bipartisan re-binding together than merely wanting Them to fall into hellfires of anxiously lonely, desecrated, demonized apartheid despair.

Equality For All

“We appreciate the popular democratic intention,”
began the Drag Queen Ball proclamation,
‘Equity for All’

We would even more appreciate
a more specific lack of pretention:
‘Equity for All Victims’
of Straight
White
Patriarchal Privileged
Trauma.

The masculine hotness we admire,
and gladly serve,
is a renewed ecofeminist face
to replace past Patriarchal
Capitalist
unfortunate RightWing embrace.

Ecocide,
like Transgender Matricide,
devolves from Patriarchal-Capitalist
self-fulfilling dark prophecies
win/lose zero-sum survivalist economies
fueled by hellish
anthro-privileged
dis-rapturous
anti-health for all
anti-living Earth becoming All
monotheistically desperate
demonic despair

Of a Straight White FatherGod
incapable of ecocidal repair
while continuing to invest
in punishing deviance
from Straight White Male
cosmic monotheistic glare.

Flying Gayly Free

This Earth’s a place we call our own
When we can stand with Her lands
And look within great loves we’ve known
For hope that we might share command.

Like strong gods above the sky
Soaring sacred from on high
We long for all Earth’s tribes to be
Without a loss, straight trauma free.

Queer love invokes a distant sigh
Inside gray clouds full of rain
Yet we will always hope to know
Earth’s journey ends without pain.

We spin swiftly round light’s way
All too soon love’s yesterday.
We might grow through shades of blue
Queer dreams cut shy of love felt true.

So lust’s a song we all could share
A gift for love’s sweet self care.
For when we know Earth’s gay brings light
Great spirit roars deep darkest night.

Like rain’s bow up in the sky
Love has taught queens how to fly.
This Earth will bless what we have been
And never could be lost
as flat again.

Claiming Grace Out Proud

Giving thanks
for insight
outside normal space
grows more grace
than taking from fertile Earth
without gratitude
thoughtless everyday attitude.

We give thanks
gathered here today
for all God’s edibles
and ornaments
surpassing even sacred platitudes,
obscure beatitudes.

I give thanks
for this our timeless gathering
of family
proclaimed, not defamed
together more holy felt
than severed when apart.

Taking from Earth
without gratitude
heartless attitude
slow grows groaning grace,
our disturbing pace
before this silent pause

this sacred space
for giving thanks.

Love’s Sufficient Time

I can accept that love
I have time to learn
and earn

But
can I embrace compassion
I feel sure appreciates me
far more wisely
than I have earned?

Positive passions more pleasant
than I could ever find sufficient time
to brilliantly learn

My adoration spot

than Right Singed
defensively sedating.

I am haunted
by an oppressively disabling gap
between what I have sufficient healthy time
to accomplish
to communicate
to experientially articulate
as anemically contrasted
to all I can imagine health
and safe wealth doing
togathering in this day,

of my personal AnthroGay Pride
and WhitePrivilege
to prefer Black Lives MultiEnculturing Matter

PolyCulturing Pleasure

Win/Win bi-everything trans-thriving
positively contagious
as the clap

On a loved ones back
is my gay worldview sound
of one left hand liberally clapping
out FreeDom
ReStorative Justice
Love

Between my NonViolently WinWin Communicating
brothers and sisters

LeftBrain verbally dominant
claiming Peace
I nonverbally feel
RightBrain left outside
closeted gay emotional neglect

In my polyculturally wise universe
feeling all EarthMother’s love,
Polyester is always Lose/Lose trauma
bad news drama
while
PolyPathic Win/Win
evokes sacred warm
wet 1 within 0 zen rivers
of deeply penetrating gospel

Good regenerative humor
despite toxic rumors
that my indigenous EarthTribe
intentional family
and trauma-infested community
are suffering from an overheated climate
of monoculturing dementia

Increasingly difficult to recall
the love we have had time to learn
is earned one timeless
warm remembering moment
always liberally Here
as time conserving Now,
unconditionally warm
well-moisturized regard

For healthy hygiene
is next to wealthy
goddessness

A gay gratitude gift
more than sufficiently
out proud
well endowed.

Mixing Politics and Religion

My grandfather
seemed wise with years
walking his rural spiritual path
in a relentlessly white
Christian dualistic church
dividing sinful nature
from sacred spirit.

He counseled:
Do not mix
religion and politics.

I wonder
how he would feel
about this mix
of sacred and profane
if he were to meet
my out lesbian activist
senior UU minister.

Clearly
we have mixed up
our religious community
within our local political culture

When we called
this clergy person
we did not ask her
to leave her politics
at any sacred
and ordained door.

On the contrary
we recognize
and celebrate
that she
and we
are politically empowered
and disempowered identities
with naturally spiritual experiences,
family traditions
and theological agendas.

I wonder
if my grandfather would realize:
If calling an out
feminist lesbian
as our minister
mixes religion
and politics,
against his well-meant advice

So too:
Calling a straight
white male
as his first
and second
and third
and fourth
and fifth
and sixth…
pastor
was also mixing politics
and religion
and sexuality

Also against his own patriarchal
not feminist,
monotheistic
not polytheistic,
monoculturing
not polyculturally resilient
healthy advice

Especially for a family farmer
valuing crop
and income diversity
who started out
as an adolescent
relying on organic horsepower,
spirited stallions
and mares
capable of peak experiences
and making ponies
and fertilizing fields
with sacred regenerative practices
for exercising political agency

Giving birth
to future
naturally religious
politically empowered
and disempowered
gender role identified bodies

Yang strong
and Yintegral flowing
wu-wei admixtures of secular politics
and sacred enculturing religious
integrity

Monotheistic
and polytheistic
and panentheistic
and atheistic experiences
cooperatively inclusive

Resiliently polycultural
political and sexual
dynamic communicators
within enlightened tribes
and across empowering species.

Loving Jose

Yes, Jose,
this is another love letter
from anthroprivileged me
to LeftBrain dominant you
for multicultural us.

I’m still here
sinking into my deep blue camp chair
with feet resting on a weathered
wooden platform
for my monastic tent

Now folded
and masterfully squeezed into its storage bag
like a fat green sausage
with a thick
black fly zipper,
secure,
awaiting it’s next orgasmic coming out
to camp and play.

And you,
warm and glistening
listening you,
are still driving
west toward this transition
Saturday’s bittersweet sunset.

Perhaps already lonely
thinking
of what
and feeling whom
lies ahead
while all else feels left behind

Another week of adventure lost;
another week of memories gained

Yet memories have grown cacophonous
while adventures in knowing
new frontiers
grow old as shrinking Earth
grown bodies

Fading hope to feel
taste
see
hear
smell
touch abundantly enough
for this full life
experiencing love
quenched time

Comparing future now to back there then,
wishing we could have us all
warm and pleasant
in our head,
heart,
bed of intimacy
without embarrassing
premature limits,
boundary issues,
health precautions.

You tried to apologize
for not asking more
about my wounded kids

And I did not think to apologize,
but wonder, now, that I didn’t,
for not asking how you are feeling
and dealing
post prostate cancer

Remissions
feel like uncertain transitions,
undemanding admissions
both healthy opportunities
and diseased risks
lie beyond this day’s journey
toward Albany.

Perhaps you,
like me,
fear
and already feel
loss of intimacy
imagined
yet not touched,
thought
but not appreciably,
healthy needed
but not safely found,
sacred bound
for joy’s immense integrity.

When I walked into our group’s enclosed porch
this past Sunday
for my first check-in circle,
your first facilitation,
I thought of my former boss.

You look and sound
like Bishop Tafoya,
when he was your age
and I was half your age.

I had trouble
shaking this sage off.

It helps
that you sing
with warmth and passion
in fulsome baritone,
as the good Bishop
decidedly did not.

Nor could I imagine him
dancing with a white scarved fan
with integrity
flirtatious machismo
joyfulness
deeply resounding playfulness.

Do you have a type?
I wonder
Are you familiar with mine?

Those romantic,
erupting into erotic,
miracles of preference
we cannot control
or calm our appetites
to accept
AND appreciate,
anticipate
those with us
here and there
in and out of Gayla 44,
after and before
now heading west
away from east.

So much to hide,
to learn,
to unveil,
to set aside
for graceful aging,
and to warmly embrace
for compassioned wisdom
felt together,
rather than silently,
less sacredly,
apart.

The Center’s lunch bell rang
and now has gone

Absorbed by quiet shushing
and rustling
high in evergreens
baking in Mama’s summertime
weekend of commerce
and less commercial passions,
traffic rituals,

Pre-empting ancient natural liturgies
of sea,
flowing water
and strong mountains
inspiring bonfires
bond-fire between rising
and falling phoenix
conjoining
co-investing
multi-generational passions;
daddies and sons,
masters and slaves,
tops and bottoms,
poles and holes,
straights and rounds,
dipolar co-arising

Riding forward home
to what continues repurposing why,
reworking hidden meaning
as yet unredeemed
in sensory Business As Usual

Backward east
returning promises
of safe and healthy
bright happy new dawns
transcending broken hearts,
troubled mind’s
loss of time’s
most cherished values

Love’s integral compassions
resting first
returning last

Already
I miss you
ready to miss us.

Another Love Letter

So, this is a love letter
from me
to you
for us.

Quiet Cream
and well moisturized Tan
were my first warm
and appreciative glimpse of you

Engaged listener.
Looks gay men in wounded eyes
while listening,
then speaking,
searching for
and finding acceptance,
at least for here
and now.

While both our neuro-systems ask,
with each breath inhaled,
Am I safe?
Each breath exhaled,
Is this healthy?

Or maybe,
ummm…
“I’ll have to think about that.”

Not so much
as a glance my witnessing way,
Wondering,
Is he why I am here?
I hope

Would I be appropriate
to here become
for just one Other?

You were not distracted
easily
from eyes
and voices
surrounding your place
in this 44th chapter
in not patriarchal,
but truly not green ecofeminist either,
Gayla BTQ versatile,
exclusive top,
promiscuously inclusive bottom,
anonymous,
romantic-erotic,
occasionally sacredly orgasmic,
political sex health history.

I wondered
then
as now
where we could fit

In gaps of loneliness
of not being fully known,
exposed,
spiritually and naturally naked
transparent
vulnerable,
fully co-invested,
transculturally cooperative,
co-empathic
co-passionate,
quietly completing each other’s unsaid senses,
thoughts,
integrity,
warmth,
refulgent quenching wetness.

Then, that first smile
just for me.

I am lost to your white teeth,
left-sided dimple,
eyelashes heavy lidding brown-eyed welcome
despite it all

Trust in integrity’s healing potential
after considering all losses,
stressors,
past troubling relationships
in gay white male privilege.

There we were
and here we are
ongoing

Me
writing this love letter,

You
curiously waiting to hear
and see
and feel,
to touch
and be touched by,
something possibly on your way,
a lovely surprise

Because
No one writes love letters
evermore

Painlessly including
those in quiet ecstasy
for quiet Cream
and well-moisturized Tan.

Universally Unitarian PRIDE

Buying corporate profit tickets
to this June’s PRIDE event
does not feel therapeutic,
where once lived public trauma.

Another annual rite
of well-bred socialization
political masturbation
with no flavor of resistance
to white-washed Capitalism’s greed,
to straight Patriarchalism’s need
to rapaciously breed
to gluttonously feed
on humble margins
of truly empowered
LeftBrain dominant humanity
not RightBrain depressed
demonically repressed
satanically oppressed
devilishly suppressed
Right supremely unimpressed
by deeply felt insanity
born a profanity
against Earth’s Straight
White
God

False idol
of patriotic
nationalistic pride
parades before
and lingers after
sins against EarthMother’s uncapitalized
anawim

Our planet’s
traumatically wounded child,
x-rated
x-rayed
x-cised
by homophobic toxins,
divinely inspired hate,
monotheistic vengeance-is-mine
militaristic fate.

This, and future, summers of inclusive love,
I would give away invitations to PASSION,
co-passion
compassion
compassionate integrity
of Left erect
correct cognition
greets Right flowing
enlightened growing
synergy glowing
sacred felt reconnecting
concelebrations

Of timeless
dipolar co-arising parades,
out-rageous raving displays
of globally spectral
spectacular
spiraling circular rainbows

Sacred hope promises
from regeneratively ribboned faith
for love
of EarthTribe’s holy
co-emergent DNA diversity
deeply held
in silent summer whispers

Inviting year-round
and full
and sweaty wet PASSION plays
stories
narratives
epic songs,
starred night light
and lunar displays

Flowing Right
Left strength
universally full
uniting Color

Healthy polycultures
wealthy multicultures evoking
not revoking
compassionating
never mindlessly sedating
fully woke
out celebrating
Earth’s PASSIONTribe.
