Loving Two As One

Culture
is to Climate

As Spirit
is to Nature

As TheoLogical Reflection
is to EcoLogical Experience

As MetaPhysical
awareness and thinking
are to Physical
sensation and
internal feeling/external touch associations
reassociations
preassociations
dissociations

As One
co-arising
dipolar
binomial
BiRelation-Twoship

I find two ways
to have faith in this prime
eco-political relationship,
one interior
to two exterior/interior
as NonEmpty systems
are to ZeroCentric particulars,
as Physical causes
are to Meta-Physical/Phoric
Poly-Pathic/Phonic
presilient/resonant
bicameral double-bound/co-binary effects.

I believe
multicultural health
and power
have nothing to do with,
or say to,
or listen with compassion for
deference to each cause/effecting Other
inside impressed
as also outside already manifest
and remanifest
in tension with not yet premanifest
with co-passionate communing sufficiency,
active curiosity,
solidarity,
co-empathy,
sacred grace.

I further believe
these integral flowing double-yin = yang variables
are integrally unrelated
and unrelatable sameness,
incommensurable
to strong synergetic Yang binomial
bilateral
bicamerally redundant communications

Because they are one historic
and pre-historic,
verbally thought
and nonverbally felt
prime NonZero Whole-Sum Healthy Narrative
for Open Ego/EcoSystemic BiLaterally Egalitarian Relationships
already at mirrored
reflective
bicamerally re-meditative
left with right winged hand
and mind
and bilateral lungs
and heart
and spinal-neurological synergy chakras
for growing internal/external sensory integrity;

More of a mutually positive correlational metaphor
of dipolar contrast
than a competitive negative correctional
bipolar analogy
between rightbrain sacred theology
of interdependent democracy
and leftbrain secular ecology
of multicultural communication.

Multicultural enlightenment
co-invites non-violently communicating
EarthHealth and SafeJustice climates
of wealthy empowerment,
and Left to Right
BiCameral Both/And
West to Eastern Culture
and North from Southern
polarized hot original equatorial
patriarchally overheated,
and not blue/green
organic
ecofeminist balancing subclimates

Wombed by sacred EarthMother
breached by secularized
LeftBrain dominant Daddy’s Capitalism,
by competitive non-communicant thought
outdistancing compassionate eco-political feelings

Uncomfortable with anthropocentric
theologically verbalized sense of privilege
as a monoculturally divine elitist
lording over non-verbally felt
ecologically marginalized
non-violent subclimates
for systemic thinking and feeling
co-empathic bicameral communication

Among Sons of SunGod Privilege
undervaluing

Powerfully Polite Imaginations

Imagine with me
that your local
political
economic community,
municipality,
bioregion
is a communication network
already at hand,
like a potentially benign kingdom
or mutually informed democracy,

Which is what some residents actively hope for
as a peaceful sacred communion
and others engage in active voting campaigns
and political party platform design
for restoring secular justice communities
as architects for cooperative economic co-investments.

Within these secular and sacred,
economic and political,
empowering and enlightening
positive communication networks
are ecologically healthy,
and theologically wealthy,
robust and resonant non-violent relationships
of cooperatively positive compassion.

Imagine that ecological resilience
and theological multicultural resonance
within and beyond this communication network
extend back through past regenerations

Of this particular empowering moment
and human enlightening place
on Earth
not merely opposing subjective functions of non-communication,
but actively embracing
externally natural experience
compared with internally spiritual memory,
as appositional compare/contrast experience,
appositive flow-forms
of dipolar co-arising functions
for power and light communion

Yang LeftBrain nature
actively communicating power
with Yin RightBrain spirit
recessively intercommuning light
with empowering secular Yang
with enlightening sacred Yin
with power
with light
communicating bicameral revolving spirals
bilateral
binomial community communication
positively viral energy.

Imagine we politically
and economically,
ego/theo-logically
and ecologically agree,
across all current
and past multicultural reconnecting systems,
that our communication network’s most resonant
and resilient co-passionate purposes
are healthy empowerment
of all life systems
and wealthy enlightenment
of all human-divinely inspired polycultural
polypathic
polyphonic
polyvagal neurological
positive win/win communication networks.

How would you
democratically
and multiculturally explore
design
plan
and democratically implement
and evaluate
and re-evaluate
and redesign
and replan
and restore justice and organic peace
within and beyond
this secular/sacred
bicameral
multilateral
democratic group win/win game
for empowering
enlightening
cooperative communication
life energy ego/eco-system?

Could we learn to see
these diverse cultures
of all enlightening good faith climates
as pleasingly interdependent,
influenced by birth
in diverse historically empowered eras
and culturally enlightened communal
climate experiences?

Rather than judging
what empowers good faith rationalism
and what darkens bad faith superstition,
could we find ecological
and theological
power and light analyses
that actively research win/win comparative values
and lose/lose disvalues
and in-between win/lose suboptimal misvalues
for all of us
as one holistic
robust
resonant
resilient communication network?

Together urgently committed
to empowering local and global health,
to enlightening globally localized
powerful and yet polite wealth.

Imagine with me
that our local
political
Earth economic community,
municipality,
bioregion
is a communication network
already at hand,
like a potentially benign kingdom of God the Father
and a mutually informed Holonic EcoFeminist Spirit
of polite
healthy-power/wealthy-light
EarthJustice
restorative compassion network.

Seminal Enlightenment

When I was in an interfaith seminary
I noticed three models
for understanding a faith community’s purpose
in a democratic and diverse society.

  1. Conservation of SelfRighteous Anger

To compete with,
and thereby degenerate the powers of,
sin and evil and ignorance
in a monoculturally untrustable
hedonistic
degenerating society
destined for just rewards
of hellfire and damnation
because untrustworthy
and untruthfully obscuring privileged
eco-political capitalist patriarchalism.

  1. Liberating from EgoCentered Fear

To rescue us individual sinners,
benighted Earth defilers,
from our capitalist-patriarchal
competitive
oppressive
suppressive anti-feminist
homophobic
racist
ageist anthropocentrism;

To redeem our hopelessly negative
deviant bad health choices,
monoculturing,
left-brain dominantly encultured
verbal miscommunications,
disunions,
despairing experience of eternal apartheid,
loneliness,
unease and disease.

  1. Empowering win-ego/win-eco CoMessiahs
    To cooperatively enlighten each Other
    to grow in compassion
    and non-violent integrity of communication,
    internal communion experience
    and external harmonic community
    for active eco-political hope,
    cooperatively empowering faith,
    deep learning multicultural love.

When I went to Public Administration graduate school,
I, thereby,
noticed three models
for understanding a democratic constitution’s purpose
in a healthy society.

  1. Red Anger Management
  2. Blue/Green Repurposing Win/Lose Fears
  3. Ultra NonViolet
    Whole EarthPeace
    Open ZeroZone
    Win/Win EgoEco-Systemic
    BiCameral CoOperative Empowerment

Investing in HealthPower

I think the political left
makes too much noise
about enlightened democratic goals
of our LeftBrain dominant
white property-owning
ForeFathers

To be respectfully
and resonantly heard
by economic RightWing Christian,
and other Supreme-Dogmatist,
capitalists who don’t make enough noise
about Jesus’s multiculturaly liberating GoodNews

That win/lose capitalism belongs
to systems supporting economic privilege
while powers of global
liberal
lavish
radical
profound Love
belong in multi-faith cooperative enterprises,

Sacred Communion
divinely empowering Realms
Heavens
Paradise
and humanely enlightening
even the most merely natural and secularized EarthTribes
of co-redeeming deep listening circle value,
Commons Truth,
empowering Ways,
enlightening Means,
embodied healthy Beauty,
restorative Justice,
resilient Peace

Perhaps if we could bicamerally invite
a multicultured fluent
multicolored spectral dialogue
we might discover a democratically healthy Constitution

Influenced both by RightWing GodLanguaged
historical
new-nationalistic patriotism
to build a sense of solidarity,
and by LeftWing EarthCooperative economics
to build healthy
cooperative multicultural values

Regenerating blue/green/red/yellow/blue/purple/orange
black lives interdependently
multigenerationally matter

Within Ultra-NonViolet EcoPolitical Circles
polypathic
polyphonic
polynomial YangStrength
equals not(not) polynomialYintegrity,
or face climate unhealthy global consequences

Polyvagally neuropsychological
sacred/secular bicameral
Right/Left bilaterally integral
safe-wealth/healthy
economic/political
ecosystemic/egocentric
democratic mind/body Constitutions
non-violently communicating
for polyculture-optimizing values
between people,
all organic creature populations
including plants,
and Earth our shared home planet.

Bodhichitta Joy

Bodhichitta:

Is a supremely multicultural
golden elixir
overcoming sovereignty of death,
fear of mortality,
anger against loss
and suffering
and dispassionate inhumanity.

Is an inexhaustible
infinite
poly-rational treasure
eliminating,
absorbing,
healing poverty
in
and on
and over Earth’s orbiting
revolving
spiraling seasonal path.

Is supreme medicine
that quells
dispels Earth’s disease,
monoculturing unease,
swells polyculturing ease,
communion,
multiculturally intelligent communication.

Is a tree sheltering all living creatures
wandering
wondering
tired
retired
retreading this cooperatively-held path
of conditioned
reconditioned,
autonomously
interdependent,
mortal existence
immortal consciousness.

Is a universal bridge,
nutritional language,
healthy wealth
leading to liberal liberating liberty
from unhappy,
stingy,
conserving,
hoarding states of defensive birth
and child uncare.

Is a dawning moon of mindbodies
dispelling
respelling tumorous torment
of disturbing conceptions,
perturbing new moon misconceptions,
burbling cognitive dissociative dissonance,
gurgling bicameral full moon resonance.

Is a great sun
ultimately removing misty ignorance
of MotherEarth icons,
EarthMother original sources
resourcing our ecofeminist healthy home
in joy.

ReStoring EarthPeace

Now that Restorative Justice
has raised her Gaian ecological purpose,
to restore multiculturing peace
in polyphonic
polypathic Turquoise Eden,
how do you continue to justify
a win/lose Retributive Justice evolutionary philosophy
of law and moral order
as contributing to healthy
win/win
regeneratively revolutionary democracy?

Asked the ecosystemic Judge
of UnitingNations jurisdiction.

Restorative Justice
was never intended to be effective
where either victims
or predators
are unwilling,
often incapable,
of re-engaging in cooperative
interdependent
win/win dialogue,
egalitarian discernment
in-between Trust
and MisTrust
and hostile DisTrust.

So you argue
win/win regenerative assumptions
of natural/spiritual creatures
are not safely,
and not realistically, accessible
for all the healing dreams and purposes
endemic to our Gaian muse of Justice?

An insufficiency
of experience
with healthy democratic peace;
yes.

And,
how will continuing to primally rely on win/lose retribution,
where victims and a healthy society
are presumed to Win
by punishing criminals
and Loser scoflaws,
lead us toward this noble,
and globally multicultural, goal
of achieving healthy democratic peace
for all Earth’s regenerative creatures?

Retributive Justice
is the State’s weapon
to protect the Common Good
from further injustice,
a deterring threat;
not a tool
or medicine
toward an actively remediating peace,
domestic
or international,
private
or public resonant health.

How do you respond
to peace therapeutic win/win possibilities
of multiculturally mediated dialogue
to bring together victim compassion
with wrongdoer remorse,
without hyperactive threat of criminalization;
As compared to current Retributive Justice outcomes,
case loads,
imprisoned and exploited populations
of marginalized misfits,
disproportionately poor
and dark-skinned?

Traditional patriarchal systems
do not over-invest
in democratic health
or rights
of our predative
and victimized,
traumatized
feminized
marginalized
raped and pillaged citizens,
as these are not well-established
in win/win cooperative investments.

I’m not sure
arguing for further patriarchal
competitive win/lose capital-investments
helps your justice through win/lose punishment
cause.
You invite the Court to question
whether anyone is capable of sufficient Trust
toward resiliently democratic peace,
internal as external,
to actively communicate egalitarian
restorative
healthy democratic choice-making,
Facing toward compassion,
facilitating win/win disciplines,
expanding ego-recentering non-violence
therapeutically mediating ecosystemic compassion.

Privileged Cultures AfterThought

It feels fascinating
that horny voracious passions
dissipate in the presence of ego-centered fear
of pain and suffering
and ego-defeating loss,
disability and predative performance anxieties,
wounds,
death,
short-term through permanent
degenerating energy,
absence of active hope
for future holistic integrity.

In this time of climate degeneration
fear and cultural distancing need,
frustrated leftbrain dominant
StraightWhiteMale monoculturing horniness
looks culturally privileged like,
sounds prejudicially like,
feels and touches sacred EarthMother like,
smells and multiculturally
creole tastes like
manically monoculturing
predative redmeat energy states
of fear-and-anger inducing rabidity
rather than restorative green regenerative passion
for multicolored
trans-generational
testosterone/estrogen
yang/yin
pansexual win/win
inclusive cosmic integrity

Of cooperative green/blue energy
power
EarthPeace compassion.

Summer Saturday

On a Michigan farmer Saturday
in August,
anticipating tomorrow’s evangelical Sabbath,

When late summer vacations
invoked pre-sacred house cleanings
more unusually light,

Heading outside after lunch
into this spectacularly breezy
blue billowing
discontinuously cumulus cloudy
in-between radiant sky blue
infinite wonder

Into this awesomely long leisurely afternoon
becoming one of those special kids
sent out to rediscover solitary play
while Mom clears HER kitchen
to fill our kitchen
with impossible fragrance
of Sunday dinner rhubarb pie
or fresh strawberry shortcake,
whipping vanilla or banana cream
while boiling sweet yellow corn,
baking mac and ancient cheddar cheese
for this evening’s pre-dusk compline dinner.

On this first summer celebrating Saturday
of low humidity
and temperatures predicting September 70s

Out past our red barn
and past its barnyard lily pond
and into golden stubbled hay fields,
sheared sexy contoured face
of my temporarily uncloseted gay imaginings
hoping for YangGod’s sexiest face
smiling in sabbath of return

Continuing on
to private green cool woodland
to nakedly climb a favorite tree
skin to naked bark,
full-bodied embrace
of this fabulous shared EarthLife
transparent
and open
and breezy free with God’s inclusive hope.

Out to play
and pray
this day
and month
and vacation
and re-creation
will never end

Or end,
if time must continue,
in moonlit radiant peace,
night dreams
of asking into perfect Sabbath.

Agreeing to DisAgree

I have noticed
in negative strong
long feeling settings
a willingness
to accept impatience
to reluctantly embrace tolerance
and Agree to DisAgree.

Yet, to equate this conclusion
with cooperatively
and actively Agreeing to Positively Agree
with anticipation
rather than further win/lose anxiety
would be to overvalue tolerance
and to underestimate
differences between systemic logic
and self-deceiving fallacy.

We do not meet
win/win standards of nonviolently held energy,
powers of positive communication praxis,
by Agreeing to DisAgree,
shrugging
and leaving the dialogue
with win or lose, who knows?
back to hopeless stuckness,
but now further entrenched
in frustrating
increasingly impatient,
look some other way
tolerance

Of a society
too dumb to GoldenRule agree
to act as decent as a healthy family,

And too ignorant
to co-invest in present
and future green integrity.

To believe agreeing to disagree
is sufficient for short-term bridges,
let us be forewarned
agreeing to not yet agree
on reassuring regenerative plans
for healthy green democracy,

Is quite far from cooperative value enhancements
of agreeing to co-passionately agree
we are here together
for all EarthTribe’s health and safety

Multiculturally cooperative
eco-political regenerativity,
revolutionary 20/20
democratic positive energy.

Please Do Panic

Writing yet another note to my straight white CongressMan,
asking him to Please, Do Panic
about all this fear-based non-legislation
undemocratic fascist
nationalistic Win/Lose evolutionary corrupt
democratic devolution
going on around
and within us,

I’m wearing a white 1970s vintage Tshirt
from Castro Street’s Don’t Panic
political resistance and celebration
apparel.

Fifty years later,
I think it is well past time
to take the cooperativist
win/win panic plunge,

With a bold
black framed message:

THE RELIGIOUS RIGHT
IS WRONG

My son’s Haitian-American nurse,
married
and straight
as a military-industrialized arrow,
without the slightest quiver
of vocalized doubt,

Sexy darkbrown skin,
greying at his wisdom temples,
and a devout capitalist 7th Day Adventist
family provider man
of second or third evangelical generation,

Wants to know
if he, in 2020,
is affiliated with what my Tshirt says
to the Religious Right of 1975.

Possibly,
but I have always known you
as part of a Spiritual Right,

Which does not
too liberally judge
outside your own sensory satisfactory experience,

And is informed
and transparently curious
to learn from your own
sensory anticipations
of healthy smells
and wealthy tastes,
what feels good
and touches right,

And to responsibly stretch
your own sensory anxieties/anticipations
without blaming
or ambiguously shaming yourself
for not accepting who you are
right now
in this life
flowing toward
who we will become sacredly together,
spiritually and naturally,
tomorrow.

Which must,
in good right faith,
inevitably become a more rooted choice
to not be some other spiritual
or anti-spiritual life,
sometimes anxious about monoculturally competing
and other times anticipating
multicultural engagement
to be most naturally/spiritually right
in the ZeroZone pocket
of just Right EarthNursing balance.

Finding right religion
in natural/spiritual sensory experience;
your own phenomenological journey
embeds our shared ontological history
of sensory
neurological reweaving
re-ligioning psychological
left/right
yang/yin ancient sensory co-arising climax
of co-awareness,
consciousness,
co-operative con-scientiousness,
Ego/Eco-Systemic Balance.

My son’s 7th Day Adventist
Black Lives Matter
Haitian-American straight male nurse responds,

“Thank you.
That’s true.”

“Where can I find this shirt?
I would like one to wear
to our church picnic.
My extended Right spiritual family
will have many paniced health questions.”

And concerns
about green democratic wealth, I add.

“And, as you say,
some surprisingly grateful
gospel faith
anticipations.”
