Am I safe now?
Are we safe?
Is it safe to listen here?
To speak of over there?
Is Earth safe to sing?
Safe to dance with?
Safe for new birth?
To spin past romance?
Does life matter
if no one’s noticing?
Remembering?
If no one’s vocation
is to sacredly listen?
while all creation refills silent gaps.
Are we safe now?
Reborn silent angels,
angels of light,
pushing back this dark night.
I worry about being unfair to other benign parasites
in my feeding-frenzy faith community,
and to myself,
because I need
and/or want
a residential
intentionally cooperative
resiliently win/win consensus
co-investing
co-managing
eco-responsible and responsive
health-wealth community.
This feels rather much to ask
of someone already satisfied with a weekly sanctuary bath,
washing off some of the weekday BusinessAsUsual compost,
looking for ever renewing possibilities for repurposing trash
into refueling treasure.
I fear afflicting innocent souls
with my competitive capitalistic commodifying infliction
endangering all sacred values
averse to genuflecting before all secularized disvalues;
My own intentional community dreams
of relief from justice as revenge
anticipate double-binding win/win commitment to mercy
as peace restoring justice
for mutually healing purposes,
Sacred sanctuary relations between and among
strong-faithed cooperative parasites on MotherEarth,
actively seeking ego-systemic kindness within
and eco-systemic compassion
communioned
communicated
through commonly-held metaphoric verbals
and metaphysical non-verbals,
motions and emotions also shared
without my own comfortably sacred faith community.
I worry this desire of mine
bears little difference
than a hope to live in a multicultural gym
rather than to come in,
invest in twenty aerobic minutes on empty rows of exercise bikes,
take a quick, very private, shower,
and leave enough hot water
for all future regenerations.
Efficient,
like commercial sandwich bread,
but not really the stuff of robust communion.
Zero Core cultural values
must not vary between multicultures.
In wider circles
and deepening points,
When ZeroSum synergetic cultures
become stressed by survival issues,
we each and all begin to feel claustrophobic,
crowded in,
overpopulated with squeezed inside
and threatening outside voices
speaking in alarming paranoid
and terrorist,
ancient prey and predator, voices
Morbidly fascinated with stealing from,
and slaughtering
and eating our young,
malnourishing their future opportunities
to know intense emotional integrity climax
measured as resiliently thriving together.
POtential therapeutic attachment needs
are risks
with concomitant integrity growth potential,
naturally and spiritually
secular and sacred multiculturally attaching values,
positive integrity
more than negatively repeating history-fading dissonance.
Such deeply critical events
are deeply personal
and yet nutritionally political
health and cooperative economic wealth
and ecological resilience
and theological resonance
turning and tipping universal cooperative points
toward 20-20 enlightening revolutions
in multi-sensory awareness.
Each and every ZeroSoul
includes DNA regenerative potential
to cooperatively support the rebirth
or miscarriage
of Earth’s win/win original health climate,
to invest in each and every EarthTribe health-governing vocation,
to integrate causal diagnosis and effective treatment
of acute local
and global
climate illness
risks
Are also co-arising opportunity
to notice,
Zero-Core resilient health values
must not run away from multicultural integrity.
Competitive economic experience
breeds business as usual
capital-growing cultures
with a special preference historical
for white privilege patriarchal
remembering and designing
left-brain dominant educational systems.
Cooperative ecological economies
breed more organic networks
of permacultural health
and nutrition
and communication experience,
with a special historical preference
for ecofeminist Earth-empowered
deep learning
listening
noticing prime primal attachment relationships
between internal ego-
and external eco-
systemic balance,
harmony,
interdependent equity,
RightBrain HealthWealth Prominent ,
liberal leftwing progressive,
freedom from isolated loneliness,

AND
LeftBrain WealthHealth Dominant,
conservative rightwing defensive,
freedom to impressively

without eating the less brilliantly aristocratic help
and remembering to at least say
Please and Thank You and You Are Welcome,
is where civil rights end
and co-responsively begin.
Life can be a different nightmare
when philo-sophias self-righteously
uprightly leave us behind
so long in search of success
measured in wealth of commodified acquisitions
rather than health of natural/spiritual capitalization
of virtuously co-managed left/right
co-balancing cooperative structures
for co-investing future resilience,
Like a thirsty hummingbird
living in a too-red environment,
Like dissonant notes
hiding in a too-rich symphony,
Community, communion investing in health
not as ordered by MotherEarth
as demonic TaskMaster of perpetual raw-spot punishment
in perpetually vicious win/lose competitions
against past and future disgraced generations,
rather than wealthy sacred interdependent venerations.
Philosophers and politicians
preachers and prophets
parents and their prey
might instead invest in Earth rights and lefts
as our dance and play Mother
embracing more cooperative win/win choreography,
ecological theologies of color
and scale,
More of a sweet spot multigenerational tango
searching out climatic self-governing unity
rather than a righteous raw spot monocultural war
of nightmartish lose/lose uniformity
unto climate collapsing apocalypse,
Mortality of life
giving way to ecocentric wise dancing regenerations
of local through global multicultural Earth,
enjoying nature more cooperatively-managed,
never competitively-owned in spiritualized theories
of universal Yang Domination
with too complexly uniform marching into fragmented war orders
over-ruling uniting invitations
into win/win multigenerational YinDance,
Now wiser about distinguishing
between individualistic capitalism,
supporting business as usual
monoculturally colonizing patriarchy
And Earth’s cooperative capitalization,
actively inviting natural/spiritual
sweet spot win/win dialogue
more than raw spot,
Who is the biggest Loser of vanishing success?
academic debates
Confusing wealth requirements
with healthy response to
What is winning?
Since before liberating philosophers
severed natural nutritional eco-healthy balance
from spiritually robust wealthy ego-investment.
Life in and on Earth’s resonant ecosystems
can be a different nightmare
when philo-sophias self-righteously
upright leave us behind
so long in search
of health’s wealthiest eco-political success.
I once invested a year
as Board President.
Indeed, I was often a bored resident
of our State Affordable Housing Coalition.
My platform,
to speak grandly
of what was more of a healthy whim,
was for safe and beautiful affordable housing
Habitat is not just an optional frosting
on the State’s health
and wellness
and prosperity cake,
A nurturing confection
to become multiculturally accessible,
co-responsively owned and managed,
and filled with resident ingredients
trained and experienced,
invested and engaged
in supporting each other’s cooperative needs
and hopes
and polycultural faith
in healthy outcomes
Presiding ingredients as essential as 7-grain flour
AND the warm slow-flowing
rich and savory
golden brown honey
of an organic
home-grown
carrot cake.
At the end of my first non-lustrous,
unfrosted year of the healthy carrot,
we were planning our annual conference,
to include our annual meeting,
the election of officers
from a slate nominated by the Board of Directors.
During the Board’s planning meeting,
We first heard from the Executive Director
about the conference theme,
which was to be
“Housing is the Answer”
[to all white male privileged executive financial questions].
Housing is the exclusive answer
to my bigger and better health and well-being cake.
I undiplomatically suggested
perhaps this is a monocultural answer
to a nutritional question
hardly any voters are asking,
Which was, I further supposed,
the reason we have an Affordable Housing Coalition,
to gather our failing corporate wagons
of besieged non-profit housing developers
and their corporate survival lobbyists,
who usually make about three
or four
or even more, times
what their median income residents
take in each year.
I thought, instead,
that affordable,
responsible,
and compassionate housing,
cooperative environments
and structures
and support systems,
are part of the liberating
and secure health care question,
issue,
potential resolution,
integral climate for Earth’s health care,
gardening
and farming,
and feeding,
and repurposing,
and recycling
resident future through past EarthTribe compassion.
Next
we discussed our slate of more mentally healthy officers
for next year.
In the past,
we assumed by hoary precedent
that Presidents
stay president
until their board term expired,
Then we tried to talk some other ambitious,
yet already over-committed, extrovert
to be our unanimously acclaimed
presumably fearless
and nearly flawless
leader,
Second in real world presence and power
only to the Executive Director
and, OK,
maybe third,
after the Financial Director.
Even so,
Board members present and accounted for,
sitting in our wisdom busyness circle,
seemed discouragingly relieved
when I began this agenda item
by announcing that we need to find a new President
because I was clearly not hearing
their politically correct questions
without questions of my own agenda.
I was happy to nominate
a young up and coming Latino leader
from my home town at the time
who was new to the Board.
After the Annual Conference and Meeting,
and his quasi-democratic elevation by affirmation,
Off to the north side
of the chandeliered ballroom,
holding less than sacred space
for mostly Ivy League graduates
without the good sense to dim the lights
and dance to The Beatles together,
maybe sing “Let It Be”
in multicultural harmony,
The new President confided
that he shares my taste
for the health care giving and receiving cake
and the 7-grain housing
and the golden brown honey
of resilient Earth cooperative residents
But, does not feel
it is safe
or liberating
to talk about that
as President resident.
I was his first clue;
probably not his last.
What do I want out of life?
I want in,
where love still flows
fertile and strong.
I want to live fully on this Earth
with others
who need not ask
what I want
because we all grow in confidence
our answer is shared,
our univocal choice
for becoming integrity’s potential
together.
Do you believe
these different gender identities
and preferences,
those of different ages, places, times, species,
those who look far different,
those who smell worse or better
than you do this day
would answer any differently?
I think not.
I feel not,
for then I would despair
of humanity as integrity’s portion of Earth’s nature
as intrinsic to this glorious organic architecture,
Earth’s healthy grace
becoming polyphonic Promise.
I was baptized as a Christian,
once or twice.
It’s not so much that the baptism ritual malfunctioned
in some series of unfortunate events;
It’s more like Taoism as my primary ecopolitical health system,
or religion,
or metaphysic,
or whatever kind of evolutionary,
perpetually eisegetical-hypothetical,
label you choose to slap on the box
you decide to keep me in,
was (0)Riginally Intended as an ego-hyphenated eco-system.
That works out well for creating hybrids of anything cultural:
Christian-Taoist,
Judeo-Taoist,
Islamic-Taoist,
Zen-Taoist, although that would be highly redundant,
Hindu-Taoist,
Zeroist-Taoist, although, again,
be prepared to fall asleep
as metaphysically orthodox ethologists debate
whatever there is of any phylogenic difference
between the Yang and Yin positions
within that notnothing nondual hybrid.
So, as a baptized Christian-Taoist,
it’s easier to see syncretic bridges between cultural faith-learning systems
with those who do use the Christian label for themselves
and with those who would adamantly declare their enthusiasm to be,
and always and forever remain,
anything but Christian.
I run into this a lot with atheists,
who are also climate health activists:
No! I’m not a capitalist-fundamentalist Christian EarthRaper,
I’m an Atheist,
always with a capital A,
or I’m a Unitarian Universalist,
although these are more like UnTheists,
or I’m a Humanist,
or a Wiki of some nature-spirit nondualist-feminist
matriarchally self-other cooperative empowering-with-not-over persuasion.
So, being a Taoist,
when speaking with a Christian ecologist,
just means I’m a not YangLeft Dominant
or YinRight Dominant
Ego/Eco climate-health balancing
charter member of the Bodhisattva MindBody of Christ.
Not meaning to make that sound like a cake walk,
but I’m saying my Taoist sensory awareness
of nutritionally regenerate v degenerating evolution
of internal LeftEgo
and external RightSacred-Integral Eco,
Yang-Yin EcoSystemic (0)-sum Balance,
is about as multiculturally
and polypathically
PermaCulturally Design-ish
of co-arising nondual Climate Health
as I’ve been able to hunt and gather
during my polypathically extending Positive Psychological family journey,
so ecopolitically WinWin far.
I’m a Christian-Taoist,
coredemptive learning cooperative economies
means I’m always politically open to nutritionally-intended suggestions
for further regenerativity.
Radicals of PostMillennial Zeroism,
like Fundamental-Basic PreMillennial Taoism:
Yang presents unmitigated monopolistic political omnipotence.
Yin hides totally purged (recessed)
economic flat-line absence of positive nutritional flow trend,
omni-polypathic nonpresent exformed.
Just as Nature abhors these primal vacuums of appositionality,
there is no such thing as either of these two extremities,
just as there is no such thing as YangSpace
without Yin’s bilaterally evolving notpast-notfuture NOW time.
And, their divinely humane ecopolitical stage
balances MidWay Wu Wei
issuing advent of M.L. King’s (et. al.)
Beloved Climaxing Cooperative Community,
Family,
EarthTribe,
and any other polypathic ecological system
we might care to nondually and multiculturally co-arise together.
Our new democratic-plutocratic healthy wealth
of Zero-Soul-Sum-Core-Axial-Integral ecopolitical revolutions.
Not just do to; do with:
Do with others as political and economic you expect and hope with others.
Not just do with; do with each Eternal Moment,
as has always been done with you
and your Elders still flowing within you,
as always will become done with
throughout this eternally regenerative DNA/RNA-solidarity moment.
Sustainably do with others,
as political-economic eco-logical you
expect and hope with others.
Not just others; but all others,
living and dead,
and future generations,
regenerations
of not only our species
but all species living on and in Earth’s Promised Permaculturing Garden.
Sustainably do with all co-arising others,
as poli-economic encultured you
expect and hope with all Earth’s Tribes.
Not just expect treatments, relationships, transactions;
but expect co-empathically inclusive trust evolving healthy truths with grateful beauty,
optimizing cooperative and peaceful relationships
of mutually appreciative intent
and practice,
expect gratitude to articulate our holistic co-ecology of multicultural grace.
Trustingly do with all co-arising others,
as poli-economic holistic ecology encultured you
trust as positive healthy integrity,
active cooperating peace on and in and for and with
advocates and occupiers also from Earth’s ReGenesis Original Intent.
