Together Will We Part

Cells work is play
to resiliently thrive
only in organic systems.

Individual yolked cells
each with her own ego-governor
survive healthy together
and divide tragically apart

More like symbiotic regenerations
of surfing cantilevers
than degenerations
outside predations
storming waves
recolonizing cancers.

Transgendering
transubstantiating
transitions can be both

Too hard on ego yolks
and too soft for ecobodies
become some One boundaried else
while too soon severing
into not yet Zero

Sacrificed for tomorrow’s
unconditional regard
organically in-between
One secular EgoZone
and not yet Zero sacred
systemic EarthTribe soul

Remembering past memories
mindful of mind-cell fullness
side by side solidarity
re-imaging severed cells

Crests of history’s
great transitioning wave
from individual hot burning stars
to seas of cold
dead
dry dust

Awaiting wetter rust
for light and power
to co-arise
more resilient lust

Inside crusts
of ego loving centers
and their living eco-kin
becoming back and forth,
together and apart
again

Enlightenment
and death,
empowering cantilevers
losing out to expatriating cancers

Co-invested
ego risks of past power
and eco loss of future opportunities

Individuating
systems for regeneration
and recycling seasons
of privation

Therapy
and trauma,
health
and pathology

Unconditional regard
and conditioned
hardening cells
of disregard

For innocent Othered cells
whose work is also play
to resiliently thrive

Only in organic systems
unconditionally regarding
this enlightened
empowering day

Swings of Yang bright light
empowering Yin’s eternal sway.

New MLK Day Revolutions

I have heard almost nothing about New Year Resolutions
this pandemic year;

Although personal sound waves are filled
replete with incomplete invitations
to take better health care
of personal
and social
and economic
and democratic
and public
and green climate nonviolent communication
wealth optimization

As we move post-millennially
and relentlessly,
perhaps as inevitably
as any self-fulfilling NewYear resolute expectation,
standing win/win apart
from ambiguous anticipation thoughts
with anxious feelings,
foreboding fore-tidings,
Right/Left
affective/cognitive dissonance;
fading resonance.

I have,
in this last pre-MLK week,
noticed an upsurge in human striving voices
invoking dark,
globally embarrassing, humor
and gratitude
for President BullHorn
for straight white male persuading
large majorities of Earth’s citizens,
red and green and yellow and orange,
black and mostly white patriarchally privileged
LeftBrain violently red dominant
RightWing wounded and terrifying,

To NewYear discontinue an elitist direction
we don’t want to continue pursuing,
extracting without explicitly agreeing
to democratically forego our constitutional commitment
to a healthy resilient multicultural republic
both polyculturally healthy and safe
for now,
and for all foreseeable future regenerations.

Many 2020s new year roaring revolution voices
seem to assume liberal v conservative choices
are limited to:
If one is good
then the other is bad,
opposites;

Appositionally,
demonstrably,
comparatively,
even consensually,
recognized as not true to personal
politically co-invested democratic experience
when we are discussing liberally loving
healthy
cooperative communication
and conservatively co-investing
in globally resilient public health
and climate WholeEarth safety.

Liberal left wings
and conservation right winged,
and all of us who faithfully remain
middling muddling in-between,
resolve closer to consensually green healing
than viral and climatic punishing pandemics,
ego-inside and eco-outside
our bilaterally integral sensory bodies,

We are
and often are not
re-transitionally resolved
for personal health
and/or public ecopolitical safety
sacredly cooperative Vocations.

When I feel healthiest and safest,
in this another new year,
in this early decade of Roaring BullHorn 20s,
is when I step outside
to listen for voices
of disenfranchised trees,
scolding squirrels,
babbling brooks,
rippling rivers,
surfing seas,
light conversations
between blue sky and cirrus clouds,
rain on rocks and rolling thunder
anthems

Sung in response to my questions
about what is healthy liberal YangLight
and conservative YintegrityPower?

And what is more Trumpian
nationalist
elitist Republican
pathological would-be autocratic fascism,
worship of richly narcissistic wounded
persons of exorbitant interest,
punishing power,
uninformed dissonant delusions,

Where StraightWhiteMale privileged
capitalist corporate minds
have falsely advertised resilient
and resonant bicameral fortunes
toward nationalistic
militaristic extractive wealth,
not so much durably thriving health
and safety through defensive win/lose strategies
strong pro-active
non-connective
violent colonizing aggressions
for mutual lose/lose
predator/prey assured destruction.

Sometimes Earth’s January voices
seem to predict
and celebrate
full climaxing
resiliently thriving healthy wealth.

Sometimes they warn of wounded and broken
personal and public,
social and political
and economic monocultural
non-MLK celebratory pathology.

But,
most of this NewYear resolving time,
especially when I’m working on MLK-Era
Revolutionary Green Resolutions
for restoring Ego/Earth-balancing Justice,
and WholeEarth Multiculturing Peace,
these nature/spirit,
inside/outside,
ego/eco-voices ignore my quests for wise discernment
because egocentric questions,
provided by past memories and future imagination,
are unworthy of macro-ecosystemic attention.

If the only choice I offer is:
“Should I live in a toxic,
fossil-fuel burning condo
or in a toxic,
fuel-burning trailer park?”

Why would such ancient god and goddess voices
and smells,
sounds and senses,
respond to these unintended wounds
and win/lose competitive broken messes?

Asking for less than wisdom
to always resolve win/win
revolutionary green new era decades
inviting questions and resolutions
exploring
remembering future images
of liberally conserving celebrations.

New Year’s Recycling Journey

Stepping into a new year,
especially one calling for 20/20 revision
reform
not retribution for anger’s past
but restoration of WinLeft/WinRight bicameral sanctuary,

Stepping into a new ZeroZone Asylum,
positive deviance from leftbrain competitions
deductive,
predicting reductive,
business as usual.

Positive left/right harmonic deviance
invites cooperative resistance
against a shared predative,
light-skinned,
patriarchal,
hopelessly heterosexual privileged enemy
of all the non-elite people
emerging from leftbrain dominant climates
of EarthTribe colonization,
extraction of life,
enslaving monopolization of body-power,
abuse,
disembodied neglect,

Shared asylum against negative lose/lose nihilism,
fake elitist monotheistic Rapture,

Against positive win/win passion,
compassionate communication,
ego/eco left/right yang/yin bicameral therapy.

Stepping into this NewYear ZeroZone
can be yet another
in an undistinguished
degenerative lose/lose series,

Lacking 20/20 sensory-neural
bilateral
binomial
polypathic/polyphonic
co-passioning
revolutionary revision,
restoring peace,
Earth Climate Justice,
inside as outside,
inspiration as exhalation
enlightening as empowering
not-not yin as positive intersectional yang
exponential 0 as multiculturing 1
incoming wealth herstory as outgoing polyculturing health

Ecofeminist 2020
predicting trimtab strategic
global health possibility
of a robust 2121
compassionate
cooperative wealth-climaxing
EarthSanctuary.

May this win/win celebration game
begin not win/lose degenerating all over again,
but, instead, grab hold of regenerative becoming
NewGreen MultiCultural Asylum.

New Year Masquerade

For what manner of beast,
sad creature,
mad monster,
deeply dark angel east,
does everyday accompaniment
seed cold contempt
instead of bleeding warm sacred resonance?

Should beloveds
not expect to grow in sublime stature
not despite, but for humored respite, flirtatious flaws,
fallen fractured nature, merely human
after and before All.

Divine epiphany,
fully-flowered gods and holy-climaxed goddesses
relinquishing anti-divine powers
redundantly secularized,
now old bad not-news,

Flaws adored
because of these robust fractures
of opportunity
to remind Belovers:

Silent patience bleeds compassion
heading toward disgust,
self-shaming,
other-blaming
for missed transcendent mindful bliss

Of anima–
dark animal angel nature

Away from all this daily mundane muck,
life not as love would design us
but Earth’s timeless generations
have invited each of holy us
uniquely to let go of contemptuous patience
with ourselves and other-selves,
ego-beings and eco-becomings

To grab hold of sublimely sacred nature
here in this deep dark in-between place.

Here
where human nature grows most profligate
and naked
and vulnerably courageous

To consider all missing facts
of life most fully considered
and love regardless
as if each sacred absent moment,
each transitioning year,
were our health wealthiest last
and final 20/20 revision

Since we first sacred emerged
into social
and cultural
and eco-political light,
divine and mundane,
sublimely sacred and routinely worthy
of good-humored contempt,

And,
most cutting double-edge of all,
this curiously courageous humane nature
spiritually in-between
already old
and reasonably new

Empires
and masquerading inspirations.

January Calendar

Opening a new 2019 calendar,
January unveils an Arctic Wildlife Refuge view
of glaciered mountains
behind a frozen river
surrounded by bedrocks
grey and bleak black
and rusty brown.

The Wilderness Society caption
claims this as our “treasured landscape
that the indigenous Gwich’in people” name,
proclaim?
“Sacred Place Where Life Begins.”

Rather than
The same old frigid and barren secular place
where any decent life
could only abruptly end
in hopeless frozen defeat.

This juxtaposition seems to capture essential compassionate v narcissistic
human destinies of choice.

Both Wildlife Refuge views
could be valid,
but the indigenous birthplace choice
to see opportunity
feels more integratively useful,
more communion sustainable,
resilient, rather than bitterly brittle.

The Dalai Lama teaches,
and presumably practices,
as have other messianic/bodhisattva re-creations,
a distinction between empathic pictures
and compassionate stories.

Empathy may associate with RightBrain feelings
of happiness and despair,
ecstasy through hopeless disenchantment,
with some Other
past,
present,
future,
human,
animal,
plant,
planet…

Compassion is more about LeftBrain planning
what I, we, cooperatively together
walking in newborn, reborn solidarity
will do to heal wounds, minimize risks,
and more resiliently sustain sacred opportunities
for unborn future life.

Empathy opens windows,
pictures,
landscapes,
refuges,
sanctuaries toward proactive
cooperative co-passion.

Practiced,
informed,
experienced,
trained,
educated,
supported development of co-responsibility,
integrity,

Synergetic vulnerability,
matriarchally cooperative wombs,
open life to empathy,
co-empathy,
eco-empathy with wounded and therapeutic lifelines,
compassionate rebirth conquering narcissistic pre-death

In 2019,
2020,
and so on.

Toxic 2018

I’ve noticed a new favorite word
in 2018
is “toxic.”

And, in on-line discussions,
a newly invested discernment
of what it might fascist imply
to lead each white privileged day
with patriarchal narcissism.

Hillary,
unlike St. Hilary,
could stand iconic for matriarchal narcissism.
It exists, like a recessive gene
in our integrity pool of compassion’s unlikely opportunities,
yet is as yin to patriarchal yang, divided,
narcissism soft-core,
not yet hard advanced past capital-drenched dreams
of satiated blond and blue-eyed middle-ages

Too often patriarchal narcissism devolves
into runaway Kochian economic fascism,
anti-ecological health,
racist nationalistic pathology,
putrid absence of Primal EarthPatriotism.

What I hope,
and mutually need,
to hear more nutritiously compassionate
is about cosmic creative tension
between patriarchal narcissism as a weapon
and matriarchal compassion as a tool,
co-passioning within monocultural political powers for evil
and good ecotherapeutic
polypathic multicultures.

Resilient health-invested cultures
still have active faith
that a compassionate Gaia
is more effluently powerful,
demonstrates more everyday resilient waves
restoring outside peace,
than that of God’s DisRapturous Fear
His narcissistic followers will not inside recall
I AM THAT I AM
CoPassion.

For inscrutable reasons,
I thought of toxic narcissism v. healthy compassion
when I heard DJ Trump
amuse his wild-eyed followers,

Explaining his new-found epiphany
that, to best defend his personal political future opulence,
he should continue asking his enemies
for what he does not truly want.

A more experienced compassionate politician would disagree with:
The best way to earn democratic long-term trust
is to tell the opposition I do not have the political will
to build walls,
when you do,

To pretend to protect the good white consumers inside
and to keep out alien threats to future omnipotence
of your own toxic narcissism.

Narcissism’s imaginary inside voices
do not consider what we the people
and plants
and planet healthy want
and need
to nourish compassion’s resilient interdependence.

The Wall,
between political compassion and personal narcissism,
for Kochians and Trumpians,
is all about what white patriarchal I
narcissistically want
to beat down compassionate matriarchal self-empowerment,
co-operative economic/ecological health care,
radically accessible to all EarthTribe values
and extended family norms.

Narcissism hopelessly reacts against remaining compassionate
healthy hearts,
cooperative imaginations
of democracy trusting multicultural people
plants
and living co-passioned planet.

Advent Research

1. Surface,
respect,
and record current health beliefs,
valid and invalid,
useless and useful.

2. Ask “Do these mental models help us make the health we want
right now?”
Are they optimally effective,
integral,
mutually resonant?

3. Stimulate alternative,
diverse,
polypathic views about health experience past,
present,
future projected.

4. Develop a wealthy vision of what communion you want now
by integrating mental health models
supporting optimal future wealth
of cooperativity–
mental and physical,
spiritual and natural,
emotional and rational,
inductive and deductive,
theological and ecological.

5. Conduct, and learn from,
health dependent/wealth independent experiments,
competitive Win/Lose
Cause/Effect research,
and health-primary/wealth-secondary value maps
cooperative Win/Win cause-effect models
surfacing health/wealth intent,
respecting secular/sacred practices–
cooperative
transparent
vulnerable
intimate empowering communication strings
ego/eco-enlightening.

Extra health/wealth credits:
Invest year-end time revisiting validity
and utility
of personal
and familial identity models.

During Christmas Dinner,
Who are you?
Who are we together and apart,
both healthy and not quite so much?

What are the most significant secular and sacred events
of your life, so far?

Which of these ecstatically happened to you
more than you carefully planned to facilitate their unfolding?

And which unveiled themselves
enchantingly vice versa,
planned by self with others
for your mutually wealthy nutritional experience?

And which seem to transcend any competing,
distinguishable Source,
sacred or otherwise?

What future plans do you expect to implement
on behalf of your self
and other’s healthy wealth
of significant cooperative developing futures?
For compassion,
wealth of nutritional wisdom
mutually given and received.

What communion of healthy friendship do you most anticipate
with all EarthTribes,
all ZeroZone Souls past,
and not yet born,
and not yet full health reborn,
not at all unlike your enchanting healthcare optimizing self?

Journeying into love as non-competing
non-violent peace
fulfilling healthy secular/sacred
left/right bicameral holonic integrity.

Warmer Memories

During December
I have trouble remembering we are potentially orgasmic organisms
designed for healing,
resiliently restoring our egos
acclimating with everyday eco-habitats
to regenerate this lifeline climax;

Virally reverse-hierarchical ecstatic experiences,
revolutionary,
BigBang self-other perpetuation,
transubstantiating,
creolizing,
primal relating
interdependent ZeroZones
of ambiguously autonomous identity.

Our most efficient organic economies
for enduring wealth
Are also our most effective ecological relationships,
natural/theological
a-theist/theist
matriarchal/patriarchal interdependent

Divine regenerating light
co-inviting dualdark humane aversions
to WinLose sectarianism,
anti-organic divisions,
anti-creative demonizing processes,
degenerative opposing originally regenerative healing light,
meaning,
purpose
in this darkening climate Advent time.

Effective ecological systems
also efficiently optimize economic WinWin trends
for all Earth and each sacredly climaxing Ego
for divine and yet humane light, non-sectarian
full ultra-violet octave, felt most brightly non-violent
transparently accessible, non-defensive
peacefully inviting health wealthy futures, non-insular.

We are life stories
sometimes deep learning Left with Right mindbody sacred ecologies
and too often mere products
of mis-educational Win/Lose factories,

We are polypathic climax designed
To create full awareness
of poli-economic power structures, octave
natural seasonal costs
and nutritional benefits,
To find repurposing healthy ways
for all Earth’s Tribes and Species
to achieve secular non-sectarian climax
and sacred non-violent objectives furthering resilience,
To invite green democratic global parties
to agree to a deep learned balancing environment,
To slow current run-away Lose/Lose rates
of outside ecological and inside theological chaos,
To escalate polypathic multi-lateral health/wealth outcomes.

Efficient ecological therapy
invites effective economic empowering theory,
fractal boundaries, zero-zone centered
non-sectarian zen sacred
in non-violent ultra-violet, spectral
non-insular green ecoschools,
musical tragic comedies, everyday
non-defensively open for graced karmic love

Ecologically restoring EarthJustice
to theologically restory Ego’s polypathic climax journey
into globally resonant warm EarthPeace.
