Touch the Earth, Reach the Sky

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.

Is where we also find emergence,
consciousness of LeftHemisphere dominance
over RightHemisphere prominence

Either Positive
Or Negative

Enthymematic co-passion cooperation
antithetically contrasted with violent anti-communication,
like NonZero potential toward quantitative fulfillment

Sustaining Health

Who said?
Health isn’t about politics!
Health shouldn’t be about politics!
Health should be above partisan politics!

Healthy systems
are not about unchanging purity
and safety
and traditional dogma.

Healthy ego and eco systems
are much more about diversity
flexibility
and courageous curiosity

Just as wealthy economic networks,
local through global,
include ecological interrelationships

We might associate resonance
with polyculturally robust interactions,
personal and political,

Multiculturally resilient
dynamic stasis–
Slow inclusive
and diversely intricate
Beauty
cross-pollinating
climaxing inclusive diversity

Avoiding the monocultural purity
and calculating sobriety
of a 100% crabgrass landscape,

Or 100% concrete

Or 100% saltwater environment
with no above water healthy ecosystemic landmass
embedded in prehistoric
pure and safe
powerful but unenlightened
bedrock.

Savoring Summer

He steps outside
on love’s front yard
to savor this final summer
of playful intent,

Too soon stuck inside
when he would happily
and more healthily
have worked out
surrounded by garden sex
with sacred gratitude

And forest walks
through fecundity
entered under unshaken silence
of deep summer waiting,
as ominous as an approaching tsunami
terrifyingly known
yet not experienced.

But
not today.
Not here
in this dappled refuge
from jaded burning out
and inside sun
savoring his final summer
of playfully naive intent.

Self-Unfulfilling Prophecy

Mental
mortal traumatic anxiety
is a metaphor for physical pain experience

As anticipating personal therapeutic healing
is analogically connected to absence
of win/lose cultural pathology
in a bad air
anxious atmosphere
climate.

Atheism about sacred healing Benefactors
is not so much a theological position
as it is a disconnected memory,
disembodied experience,
dissociatively anthrosupremacist,
non-panentheistic

In a secularizing monocultural climate
often PatriarchalCapitalist nationalistic,
fear and anger-rooted
cognitive/affective chronic dissonance,
dis-ease,
stress,
detachment from Whole Systemic Healthy EarthMother’s
traumatic
laborious
nihilistic experience
of autonomously stressed-out
disordered monotheistic humanity.

BiCameral ChoiceMaking

It’s not my choices
I regret,

But,
sometimes what I didn’t choose
to do
or join
or say
or at least not forget

About not hatching up
or mashing down
some healthier choices
in a wealthier nontraumatic time
for restoring EarthTribe Justice

And,
most of all,
I regret

My apparent inability
to make choices univocally
when my only ecological deadline ability,
now moored upon my biological disability
to independently grow less traumatic degenerativity,

Cosmological personal death of me,
dirth of humane resilient We,

revolving light and dark climate power

of fairness cosmologically healthy

Heavenly Peace

blue/greenly co-investing
in strongly resilient
yet flexibly resonant,

and harmonically enlightening
life choice inter-connecting systems.

Powers to choose,
like all power,
can be more or less than ZeroSum,

Power,
like light v dark,
includes passion,
dispassion,

Favoring regenerative life systems,
and disfavoring degenerative dark death

Speaking up

It’s not my pro-healthy life choices

Speaking of Common Goods

What I wanted to say
the other day
when exalting healthy kindness
for potentially freeing us
from Straight White Men’s great meanness

Costing Earth’s Green Commons
and charging disinterest against
co-investing in healthy wealth
of all we cooperatively cherish
as good-wellness humored
for me
and win/win curious We

Surpassing them then
now here
and future well-humored there.

What I had hoped to say
and would have said
had I felt less concerned
I had already bled too much
and listened not enough
to you here YangNow voices
also listening for YintegralHere choices
of those long, yet immortally, dead

Classic classless classy prophets
of Goddess Earth’s climatic doom
sometimes fear-mongering,
too seldom cooperative kindness managing
Mystics of multiculturing
inter-religioning Creation’s kind absence
of permanent
monotheistic
LeftHemisphere capitalist gloom

Dark nights
predicting dawn’s healing brights
LeftBrain universal kindness thoughts
enlightening
RightMind unitarian nonviolent feelings
empowering

Two appositional
dipolar co-arising world views.

I would have more concisely spoken up and out
for Earth’s health and safety
optimizing our Polyculturing Communion,
positive Political Correcting
Common GoodHumored Good

Got the godly goods
with more catholic unitarian focus
on Pope Francis’s
Principle of the Common Good
(#156, Laudato Si’)

Might playfully confront
his internal intuitively wise Pope Franny
commonly and goodly,
healthy and wealthily speaking
of kind and kindred sacred ecology
inseparable from the notion motion,
and ecopolitical win/win revolutionary commotion
of Earth’s Green Common Good

RightWing seen and heard
through a dualistic Either sacred Or secular
evolutionary assumption
our best competitive nationalistic win/lose zero-sum right
to upper caste Patriarchal/Capitalist scarcity
promotes humorless defensiveness,
hoarding
un-encyclical anthrosupreme
nastiness.

And yet,
in a still small bicameral voice,
co-empathically sensed
as EarthMother’s ecowomanist choice
Polycultural Communion
invites a more positive win/win ecology
of politically correct kindness
free
and freeing.

This deductive Left and Right inductive
health wealth safety
synergetically speaks well-humored
scientific/aesthetic
Truth/Beauty CommonSense,
a central synergy
and interdependent integrity
Principle of EarthWealth Justice.

With a bit more timeless moment,
we could have,
and yet remain feeding
still eating from too gladly shared
Earth’s Common Health/Wealth Good

The exponential NonZero Sum revolution
of WinLeft/WinRight reconditioned evolutions

Invoked by pro-life ecopolitical co-investing groups
and our cooperative
UniversalLeft/UnitarianRight individual members
co-empathically co-enlightening,
thoroughly embedded nature/spirits
not so frightening,
empowering health green curious Common Good
access to our own
Polycultural Communion
positive humored fulfillment brightening

Not at mean expense
and exorbitant StraightWhiteMale
LeftBrain dominant disinterest
repressing hypocritical bad-humored faith
defiantly disenfranchising future EarthTribe regenerators,

Health positive prophets and mystics,
internally organic oceanic ecopolytheists,
with great health/wealth transitioning potential
through PolyculturalCommunion
shared kindness narratives
and not so much controlling PatriarchCompeting Win/Lose
me meanness Degeneration Stories
of coming Lose/Lose disinvested unhealthy futures

Death of PolyCulture
dual Left/Right dark

Unable to see ourselves drowning
in PatriarchalCapitalist

Controlling Narratives

It all comes down to

Do you believe more
in enlightening original Earth creation stories
or
in empowering messianic passion narratives.

What comes down
inhaled
drawing in light
may reasonably appear like a monotheistic weapon
to avoid patriarchal-capitalist loneliness
loss

What goes out
exhaled
empowering polytheistic tools
to embrace polypathic-cooperative
co-passions.

What are we coming down and up
in and out toward?

Life,
love,
purpose,
destiny, I suppose,
whether secularly and democratically
universally enlightening multicultural stories
or sacredly and theistically
unitarian narratives
co-empathically empowered.

Yes, I see
your massive LeftBrain verbal story
Truth OR Fiction

AND then raise our RightBrain cooperating feelings
mythically narrating more.
