TransGender Women of Color, have the advantage
in a white male dominant culture,
have an advantage
for finding therapeutic tools
for awareness of marginalizing

weapons against Earth’s universal health care.
Just as RightBrain co-investors

have the open awareness advantage
in a LeftBrain dominant tragic/comedic

Cooperatively finding Left/Right win/win co-operative

I wish there were more middle-range,
more passionate mediation space,
more sacred forgiving pace,
less racing
avidly terrified of insufficient

A more comforting

Ignoring spacious win/win potential

No longer ignoring,
but rather inviting,

rather than settling for saving face

Settling for another story
of anxious loss
and fear
that not only I don’t count,
but we don’t matter
When traumatic win/lose risks
outweigh therapeutic win/win
co-passionately cooperative,
curiously co-empathic
opportunities.
Earth can hear you
better when invited
to wisely engage,
to co-invest in healthy experiences
and wealthy images
of our mutual care
and strained
constrained neglect.
She watches
as you wonder
again
If humanity
fully defines what Earth’s animals are
together on our best Earth Day
because our DNA roots grow back
into prime sacred relationship
of win/win balanced oxygen
synergizing hydrogen.
She invites us to stop
degenerating toxic alternative universes
Loser egos inside
eco-asystemic losses
Chaotically swirling
against organizing organic life
Wiped out by industrial ammonia
and disempowering bleach
Like acidic agents of Orange
with pits
and poisons
of privileged pukey Peach.
What is this thing
called mortal love?
Yet not a Thing
at all
At least a Relationship,
Which, of course,
requires two or more
to adore-fully dance
or, divorcing,
fall
Back into Earth’s green ball
planting and replanting health
without one sign to recall
LeftBrain conserving dominance
preserving StraightWhiteMale prominence
throughout his-story’s clumsy appall
Peace brokers wondering,
How grows this integrity,
felt immortal passion
not not mortally unknown
after bodies
and before spirits
good health natured
co-arising All
These sacred relationships
for Earth’s immortal love
in one dynamic place,
passions springing forth
toward warm best known
recall.
My roots of humane dignity
seem truest found
in organic life integrity.
So too, roots of social liberty for all
listening empathetically
seem most harmonically embedded
in Earth’s co-gravitating ball
Of health power

Not sure why

So here we are
now together in this eternal circle
around death’s latest victim
in our apartisan lives.
We pause,
each to invite a quieter humbling access
to silent comfort
from this ministering circle
Each, and together,
facing this our inevitable personal
frighteningly human,
naturally spiritual
and inspirationally natural trauma
Asking forgiveness from ourselves
and each Other in this soon parting Circle,
letting go of flawed relationships
in which we have done and said,
and too often not peacefully done
and said,
harm to ourselves
and to these encircled Others
Here doing our health and wellness best
we can
knowing some days and nights
like this death day,
with nighttime fears
and angers against cruel
and unusual mortality,
we will add to our shared ecology
and theology
of Trauma:
[invite Circle to add their own feelings]
Loss
Suffering
Pain
A degenerating climate
Hopelessness
Despair…
Yet, also in this Sacred Pause
before dispersing
shared Death’s hard inevitability,
we may also invite remembering
this our circling resonance,
When,
in our most robust compassion moments,
health care giving
is also wealth receiving resilient
brilliant,
physically empowering
and spiritually enlightening
We embrace
and celebrate our recircling Trauma facing
sacred place
warmly regarding space
For all that we have said and done
and have not said and not done
from heart-felt compassion
with ____;
[full name of deceased/ing]
This inside silent day
and dark night,
and those before
and yet to come
trusted truths
and healthiest beauty
circles gathering Earth’s compassion
celebrating this sacred pause in Life.
Touching Earth,
reaching sky.
I walk salt shores
where all Souls fly
over joy’s ocean,
under sad bad lands
my faith in quests
we could understand.
Touch this Earth
to feel our sky.
Wise fools ask
our reasons why,
In glad lives
our answers glow,
in sad love
we learn to grow
To heal our Earth
and teach this sky
We are born
while I shall die,
Life’s my time for in between,
to build you a star,
to chase our dream
Touching Earth
while feeling sky
Hugging laughter
feeds my cry,
May I see
what we can give
for future’s child
to sacred live
We touch this Earth
to reach light’s sky
Soaring courage,
healthy high,
All Souls joining
in Earth’s flight
to touch Her right
I reach through night
for love’s last
last
last splendid sight.
This variation on Grace Lewis-McLaren’s hymn (#301, Singing the Living Tradition) is dedicated to All Souls-PlanetEarth, especially New London, on the occasion of our Great Return, September, 2021.

What Earth didn’t mean to say:
Being pro-life
is like being against
matriotic health
and/or wealth.
Denying communion
for supporting maternal rights
to unhappily choose abortion
is unlike denying anthrosupremacist sacraments
for ecopolitically supporting MotherEarth
traumatic last-rites
to choose globally inclusive Ecocide.
War and fear mongering
are more effective,
more powerfully frightening,
than peace is compassioning,
more empowering healthy
and enlightening wealthy.
Moving on from thinner sympathy,
where healthy wealth is dissonantly fading,
to impassioned empathy
of economic
and politically profound commune-ication
ideation
is never poly-entheistically compassionate,
co-investment easy to cooperatively
sacred vocationally
compassionately accomplish
Outside v Inside
in polycultural full-spectrum worldview healthy
integral wealth creolizing patriarchal
capitalist
monocultural purposes
could not remain
LeftBrain dominant over-rewarded
win/lose reductive
Either/Or deductive dissociated
from ecopolitical ZeroSum scarcity
of transparently anthrosupremacist
win/lose traumatic bare survival experiences
By squeezing
and raping the regenerative life
out of BlueSky/GreenEarth matriarchal physicians
indigenously spiritual/naturally experienced
Yintegrally/Yanging harmoniously about
ecofeminist WholeEarth health-interdependent contexts
Cooperatively co-invested
in Open WholeEarth regenerative wealth
is health
bicameral worldviews;
not so much nationalistic
Is not so much
cooperative tribalistic
NonZeroistic Realistic
RightBrain Trust is Beauty
proven sensory-neural systemic development

beautistic metaphysical

We search for secular need for purpose
