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.

Sacred Discourse

The OldSchool patriarchal Pentateuch
precedes the polycultural HolyNew Paraclete.

This Pentateuch
begins with the beginning
of theo-TribalEgo cultural correlations;
Genesis begets Exodus,
the ChosenTribe’s emigration
into sacred Promised Land

Of special transparency
and divine vulnerability
for a religious Priesthood
found in Leviticus.

Levite Priests
Jesus recognized
and dismembered as Pharisees
and Sadducees,
their scribes
and self-delighted accountants

Tediously enumerating
the fourth Book of Numbers

The fifth and PentUp final exodus
prefacing a new climate
and polyculture of regenesis,
predicted throughout the Old Testament
pre-framing the New Testament
begins much later with Matthew
Mark
Luke
and John’s preamble
of the sacred DeuteroDiscourse Word

These four
internally speaking in three dimensional quantities of Power
pulled transcendently together
by bilateral qualities of time’s timeless Light.

But,
backing up into the exodus
of the DiscursiveDeutero Pentateuch,
this fifth Book
redundantly discourses
Deuteronomy.

What is our deliberative duty
to a Straight White Patriarchal YHWH?

Was Jesus right
to give priority to discourses
of EarthDaddy’s liberal love
foretelling a future PolyCultural Communion,
Win/Win Paradise?
Land of OatMilk
and Green Cooperative produced
organic Honey?

Or are we too
a stiff necked
win/lose debating
zero-sum devolutionary
supremacist People?

Do we doubt,
continue to debate,
Jesus’ personal spiritual experience
of sacred EarthNature?

Do we continue with Old Deuteronomy
of FortressEarth
effacing and denying Global Climate Pathology?

Do we continue
conserving Patriarchal Capital Elitism?

Do we further thicken
straight White fortresses
for the highest privileged Levites
and best war-mongering Accountants?

Greedy to sell more weapons for conserving hate
on the front porch of YHWH’s Earth Paradise Temple,
rather than deliberately inviting
nonviolent communication tools
of liberating perennial climate love?

Do we choose hurting
and win/lose zero-sum punishing,
or healing
and win/win
nonzero-soul
of cooperative discourse?

Do we choose
possible straight white species survival
or probable Whole
Open
EarthDeuteronomic
gospel of good health thrival?

Denying Doubt

In ecstatic climaxing designs
for healthy multicultural communications
ecopolitically correcting
currently imbalanced
unhealthy
disempowering outcomes

Our most resiliently robust productions
derive from nonviolent communions
compassionate to restore cooperative
healthy EarthJustice

Resilient democracy in green co-invested peace
repurposing relationships for mutual equity,
co-empathic integrity,
win/win cooperativity.

This NonZero HomeZone
is our most integral design
for health and safety thrival,
composed of egocenters
self-extending primal family zones
of great regenerational transition,
and our primary shelter
for cooperative relationships
with neighboring boundary habitats.

Zone One,
furthers interdependently defined
lonely shade from other neighborhood properties
since the number TwoZones
in co-passionate thriving re-membered relationship
within our municipal
eco-political
democratic communication,
designing unitarian green communities
with woke regional interreligious education
and nondualistic natural/spiritual
indigenous wisdom reformation

Sharing Zone Two
lived fully
gratefully
gracefully in our daily
sacred experienced community
conjoining double-bound interreligious cultural connections
to our eco-politically ego/eco-organizing
HealthCare Design Team
for Golden Ruled bioregional optimization
of wealthy co-invested atmosphere,
ecological soil,
cultural drinking water
interwoven in this robust economic climate
of cooperative design
for win/win multicultural compassion.

Completing this holonic Open System Fractal
is Zone Three,
Gaian EarthMother
still cooperatively rebirthing
healthy
resilient
spring climaxing climates
remediating rebirth
with all cooperatively designing
organic EarthTribe species,

Currently excluding anthrosupremacist Zone Four
dualistic employment
of de-nihilistic CAPITAL-HEADED fundamentalists
worshiping anti-recreative design
bowing to autocratic StraightWhite militarized altars
of politically uncorrected Patriarchal Capitalism
LeftBrain dominant
suboptimal

ZeroSum healthcare design.

ReConnecting Severance

Not saying we’re all the same,
but more same
when sane
than different
even when divergent.

My big TakeAway
from smashing bilateral Edward DeBono,
bicamerally empowered Julian Jaynes,
and bineural systems enlightened Iain McGilchrist
Taoistically together:

What is ecological healthy relationship,
in LeftBrain dominant worldview secular
scientific atheism

Is also theologically interactive experience
to RightBrain recessive sacred aesthetic feelings
and sensory needs
and neuro-systemic health/wealth
strong/flow wants

To avoid LeftBrain dominant distinctions
without possible experiential difference
between ecowomanist
Gaian polytheism
pantheism
and natural/spiritual nondualistic
out/in-sided
Zero/NonZero bicamerally Zoned
natural egobodies inside spiritual TheoMinds
of and for nonviolent multicultural communication.

LeftBrain polycultured
health/wealth systemic
ecopolitical bicamerality
of democratic networks
of nonviolent
verbal/nonverbal communications
evolved from RightBrain prominent feelings

Win/Win original polyvagal neural normative
thrival conditions,
memories,
multiculturing experience
across multiple polypathic regenerations

To restore
and optimize Ego/Earth’s ecological health
and safely defended theological
polytheistic space/timelessly co-relational
ego/eco-passionate wealth

Of resonant temporal enlightenment
and resilient spatial empowerment
co-habiting bicameral win/win flowing
branching eco-minds
with strong integral
synergetic ego-bodies

More structurally
and systemically same
sane
than metaphysically different
dissonant.

Thing One and Thing Two

Things One and Two
visited Fitness Planet Earth,
a land of milk and honeyed promise

NonJudgement NonZero ego-health zone
for nonviolent communication,

Emergent win/win nongrunting
nonslamming
noncursing
active compassion
in language
action
reaction
responsive positive communication

Internally and externally bilateral space
placed promised time
timeless co-empathic consciousness

CoEmpathic meditation
grows healthy minds
as massage
graceful touching/feeling action
endows multicultural
active win/win mediation

Embodied medication
to ego/eco-bicameral
macroeconomic politicization

Body/mind
Nature/spirit
therapeutic win/win thriving
EarthHealth Fitness optimization

Not win/lose survival of the autonomous fittest
by making my own stressed-out luck;

Instead,
win/win thrival of flexing resilient
fit in ingest

Remaking
reshaping
reconnecting
re-ligioning our cooperative win/win liturgies
lucky co-investments
co-empathic
bilaterally polypathic
resonant RightBrain Feeling ecopolitically engaged

And resilient Left verbalized intentions
of liberal loving logical win/win poli-economic
retributive judgment-free nonzero planetary Zone

For reconnected empowering bicameral enlightenment

For intelligent
cooperative
co-invested
democratically healthy
co-designing future egohealth/ecosystemic
co-relational wealth

Collateralized opportunity
to optimize thrival trends
for planetary
health/wealth fitness,

Said LeftBrain dominant
Thing autonomous ego One
to RightBrain nonverbally flexing
Things bilaterally ecosystemic
and polypathically interdependent,
Two.

Note: This piece is inspired by a combination of  Nonviolent Communication studies and practice and a recent re-entry into Planet Fitness, a judgment free zone for nonviolence and potentially for integral compassionate work and play, cooperative win/win respect, mutual regard, active wealth of healthy embodied bicameral minds, for both cognitive ThingOne and emotive ThingTwo, resilient strength and resonant flexibility.

Raining Down Commotions

Raining down emotions,
darkly enlightening
interior memory re-experiences
of exterior impassioned imagination events

Nonviolent win/win images
enlightening darkness
of win/lose competitions
darkly fighting
lose/lose violent de-nihilism
of ecosystemic becoming healthy roots

Fertile draining images,
sensory neural outlooks,
feeling verbal projection projects,
raining rejections,
reigning alpha injections

Conjectures of codependent
health/wealth interrelationships

Intersectional storms
connecting/disconnecting
emerging/hiding nonzero/zero-closing zones
compassion/dispassion
full/empty raining disclosing systems

Draining sensations
being not merely alive
but also regeneratively thriving
health and democratically inclusive safety

Harboring against becoming dryly dead,
degenerating unhealthy and unsafe evaporative dwindling

Losing wealth of ecosystemically driven
individually shriven
naked ego-lifetime outcomes

Splayed out on a dying anthro-rabid Earth
where one species reigns
committed to anti-ecological
macroeconomic
disempowering
and unenlightened denihilistic ecocide.

Healthier draining systems
are not about unchanging purity
and StraightWhiteMale privileged safety
so much as flexible diversity
and courageous messy curiosity;

Wealthy economic rainstorms
and darkly ecological interior inter-relationships
provoke and evoke resonance
of robust polyculturally interactive
floating starships

Silent dynamic dripping stasis
slow prequel,
inclusively diverse reveal
of sensual intricate beauty
memories cross-pollinating integrity
raining down feelings

Unveiling monocultural supremacist purity
of a 100% crabgrass landscape,
100% drenched in concrete
recovering from 100% saltwater
with no above water pre-historic landmass
between pure rock
and humid s
stultifying steaming fog,

An oppressive
deep degenerating atmosphere
inviting a more cooperative
win/win health restoring
wealthy rain of EarthJustice.

CoOperative CoInvestors

Narrow-minded,
egocentric Lefty
is thoughtful

Wide
and deep feeling Righty
is ecosystemically compassionate.

These two,
sometimes resonantly together,
too often dissonantly apart,
continually try for win/win
ego/eco-balance

Sufficient compassionate enlightenment
Lefty

And EarthJust empowerment advocacy
from our interdependently networking
co-empathic Righty

Engaged in a lifetime

Between EarthWorld Views

The differences I hear
between Right and Left political Wings
and personal Hemispheres,

Right world views
are capitalistically clear that I
have made more than my fair share
of unhealthy,
unsafe,
uncompetitive,
unenlightened
and disempowering
personal autonomously irresponsible choices.

Left EarthSystemic views
are equally clear/unclear
that We have made too much
patriarchal
nationalistic
capitalist
predative
extractive and degenerative unfair shares
of unhealthy,
unsafe
economic and politically unenlightened
and disempowering
win/lose
and lose/lose nihilistic
dualistic
Othering
Straight White Male privileged
nationalistic
plutocratic rather than democratic
choices.

We each and all
live somewhere between these two views
of sacred Earth
and a Western secularizing
monoculturing World;

Not in logical opposition
but in eco/theo-logical apposition.

Not necessarily a bipolarizing
disempowering
unenlightened experience;
Potentially a dipolar
co-arising power and light
reconnecting integral memory
of CoPassionate feelings
and needs
and win/win cooperative wants.

Thoughtful CoOperative Experiments

Einstein had his mathematical
Thought Experiments,
as did Bucky Fuller.

Eisenstin has our cooperative economics
feeling sacred Win/Win CoInvestments,
as did Jesus of multicultural New Nazareth
and Gautama traveling Buddha.

We all naturally have spiritual Thoughts
with natural organic Feelings,
experiments and curiosities
polyculturally ecopolitical
scientifically noticing ecological systemic empowerment
regenerates
religiously poly-theological enlightenment
through compassion stories
and nonviolent principles of secular health purpose
with sacred green wealth meaning.
