Retirement Planning

Retirement planning
may feel like civilian planning
as military ballistics continue incoming
so persuasively my objective is not to win
but to get home again,
although I sadly know
home will never be that home of memory sustained
as comparative peaceful compass.

What is my therapeutic vocational problem
retiring from front-line maddening trenches?

How much remaining spacetime do I have,
does Earth have, for living rather than dying,
and why does this feel so spare time
often mere despairing,
and why “spare”
and why “mere”?

Despite books and perhaps entire libraries on human purpose,
meanings,
ethology of nature,
callings for proper industry,
organic integrity of humane function,
whether blessed by divine inspiration
or mere humane perspiration
(and, again, why “mere”?)
I find too precious
this my footnote of non-historic proportion
that my vocation may not truly ever self-optimize
through individual ongoing autonomous discernment,

But also through healthier, more robust, fabric
interdependent
cooperative
democratically woven
of loving WinWin future society

CoDefining culture having let go of Win/Lose
evolutionary violence investment theories
in favor of overwhelming healthy
regenerative retiring revolutions
of Earth’s slower-grown therapies.

This is not Weber’s mechanical society;
Retiring histories are more mysteriously woven
like an organic beehive
ornamenting a strong-rooted universal tree,
or an ant colony
preparing for winter
within an ancient-grounded sanctuary
society for future multiculturing
creolizing
WinWin enchanted colonies.

What happens when we retire
into a newly autonomous vocational choice?
When all prior spacetime investments
appear to have been apprenticeships
toward what?
Dying?
Living with more freedom
for integrity
and WiseElder slow-grown discernment?

We are so hard-pressed to say
and do
and be wise discerners for internal and external peace
when all our training has been for Win/Lose battles

I struggle to prepare for extending family love
in ever more isolating autonomy
from new life invitations.

What does my environment,
our climate,
my experience,
our story about communal health development
still respect
and hope for loving, yet active, peace?

How do we call and gather elders together
to restore this profoundly interactive peace
inside as outside as inside
Earth’s justice
re-uniting integrity
toward universal love
and away from nationalistic violent hate?

Where do secular models
and sacred maps
together tipping point
toward personal
and political
and economic
and ecological
and theological healthy meaning
today,
rooted in all our civilian yesterdays
with hope for this next regeneration
already waiting within these ancient bones
and eyes for climate healing
within
as without,
below
as above,
inhaling old impoverished retributions
exhaling new health restorations
peaceful home

Retiring developments of active hope,
remaining positive energy,
non-violent doing,
being,
communicating,
praying,
experiencing,
medicating,
meditating,
healing,
living to continue breathing in
dying to breath enrichment out once more.

Making America GreatAtFolly Again

I was listening to The Naked Apprentice,
carefully,
cautiously sifting for any substance
behind mindlessly reactionary mulish gruel,
universally bullying
yet morally thin as frozen rain
on my windshield.

He has the mechanical aptitude,
systematic rectitude,
academic attitude
of a tired,
hungry,
and pissed off mule.

I know
because we lie and copulate in the same pen,
the same industrious climate,
the same WinHealth v LosePathology continent
and planet.

Barbara Tuchman speaks of Folly
as I might think of stubborn mule-headedness.

To paraphrase:

RightWing anger and fear,
paranoia and competitive greed for power
and food
and sensual beverages of proper self-medicating choice
status,
inspiring envy and hate
have long been perceived as paranoid,
unloving,
pathological

Sickness in RightWing extreme Folly threat
to resilient global health,
not merely my own healthy wealth
during this my fifth dimensional quarter of questioning
seeing
hearing
listening
searching for healing
deep learning
co-acclimation calling hindsight,
but, tragically, through all anti-social wounded untherapeutic time.

Always playing the Liar trump card
has not been so historically over-played
since Julius Caesar
told Cleopatra
he would make Egypt great again
because he passionately loved her.

Possibly modeled after Judas
selling out the Prince of Peace
to make Israel great for integrity again.

A feasible cooperatively healthy course
of action
of ownership
of governance
leading authority
leading responsibility
healing social intent
satisfying human curiosity
resilient mammalian courage
resonant living instinct
must recall and advocate
more than fairy tales of RobinHood internationally accessible,
dynamically mapped and media story-framed,
enchantingly systemed and captured,
health-modeled and remolded multiculturally.

This RightWing TrumpCard
plays,
and therefore sounds,
like a globally mendacious Folly question
That of an anti-social aberration, a wound,
reacting against cooperatively green eco-schooled redemption,
climate health care giving and ecovillaged planet receiving
cooperatively self-organizing group-thinks and democratic feels
of integrity’s discernment–
Not an Other individual autonomously greedy
to capitalize EGO-POWER!

A self-entitled plutocrat,
well-machined by a heartless RightWing Win/Lose bullying society,
a secularized self-righteous narcissistic nation-actor
in a failing anti-RobinHood EarthTribe,
a fallen Folly humane nature.

Industrialized
capital F for Folly persists,
insists,
preys and bullies
beyond one pre-millennial ecopolitical era
of climate pathology,

Far beyond my own climatically dysfunctional listening pen
for mules
hungry
thirsty
tired
and OtherWise
now preparing to live cooperatively ever green
ultra-nonviolently after.

Competing Roads to Peace

History,
one of the Muses,
like Music,
and Poetry,
and Liturgical FireCircle Dance,
and Regenerative Design,
offers three types of fertility/bereavement stories:

Yangy War stories,
Yinnish Peace stories,
And everything in-between life and death,

Hybrids of diverse creative and degenerative tensions
struggling with and against each Other.

War stories remind us
no one is special dead.

Peace stories reweave us
Everyone is uniquely special
called and challenged
fully alive

In-between stories
restore and destroy
special meanings
for and against unanimous death
of EarthlyOther
as our co-empathic EgoSelves.

War stories sadly proliferate
like BlackFriday tragedy shopping hours
and NRA ViolenceFirst! membership cards
and automated death machines
and climate sickness
in public squares
and private circles
of remunerative capital despair.

Peace stories gladly integrate
ThanksGiving Days
toward peaceful everyday Advent
of new born communal princes and princesses
living healthy happily ever paradise after
integrity of war-torn story ends.
Sometimes we call PeaceStories
love stories.
I won’t even try to list all the bad names
we sometimes give competing WarStories,
children are probably deeply listening,

But,
They all seem to have something sinister to do
with reducing Earth’s natural fertility
to mere spiritualized manure,
toxic attitude,
definitely not centered in ultra-nonviolet gratitude
for PeaceStories
and their MultiCulturing Muses.

ReJoining Commerce with Communion

Weakening the deductive
reductively secularized Business Model
case for healthy government
continuing capital industrialized
automated violence,
despite co-arising global climate stress,
is not the eco-theologist’s leading trump card.

Connecting intentionally cooperative people
and plants
and healthy planet
more polypathically
to WinWin historic economic-political case studies
and multiculturing designs for integrity
through deep Left with Right mindbody co-dominant bicameral listening
and beauty glistening
and acting widely in-between

1. Resilient Western competing co-investors
in healthy cooperative ownership
and management
and governing
and authority
and responsibility
and integrity models, and
2. Resonant Eastern extended family cooperative communion
theological models
for intentional eco-faith communities
of multi-generational co-arising residence

TippingPoints in-between LeftLiberal Love
and RightConserving Economically Balanced Life
wu-wei
RightWing merely secular capital-producing incorporations
for a strong ego-defense
and LeftWing sacred incarnations
for liberating global universal feeling-languaged eco-love

Leaking out of both liberal/conserving ends
recreating robust multicultural rainbow maps

Between ZeroZone prime co-relational territories
of Yang-strength,
atomically reductive chemistry tables,
with Yin-flow,
wavy and multi-linear
4D redundant transubstantiation healing myths

Restoring regeneratively persuasive health trends
for positive ecological relationships
cooperatively away from absence
of future’s holistic nutritional wealth.

Strengthening the inductive RightBrain
embodied sacred ecology case
for becoming eco-therapeutic peers
sharing a full WinWin mindbody
multi-spectral
neural-sensory deck.

AllSouls CoOperative Residence

I wish to fully live
then richly die
non-violently communing with AllSouls
in cooperative team resonance,
resilient restoring justice green residence
eco-governing NewLondon’s energy democracy,
WinWin co-arising loss
of LoseLose Ego PrisoNest,
plutocratic capital-infested monotheism

I hope we wish to cooperatively network gratitude
for opportunities to restore peacefully robust forests
and resonant oceans
reweaving health optimizing Truth
and BeautyWealth enculturation,
multi-transparent
and accessibly co-passioned
as ultra-violet moon light,
RealTime or imagined.

I would avoid consequences for RightWing capitalist BusinessAsUsual
LeftBrain dominant weekday time
is a pre-millennial devolutionary dance
With elevated RightBrain intuitive prominence
of GoldenRule ecological arts
and theological sciences

And GoldenRatio psychological iconic crafts
Tipping wu-wei points toward ecopolitical health
rather than climatic consequences of sinful monoculturing hubris
of not-so-divine anti-sociological anthro-centrism
recreating this wearing out spacetime zero-zone universe
Capital over-invested in paranoid pathologies

My communion rituals imagine
sacred AllSouls CoOperative Residences
we already sanctuary share
in community rooms and land trust networks
for dancing and singing ecotherapies
story-telling and painting and writing,
planting and harvesting active communion
in outdoor sacred spaces,
AtlanticOcean boundary places,
Earth wild transition phases,

NewEngland revolutionary non-violent traces
rooted in nature/spirit eco-theology
co-arising healthy
cooperative
universal
ego-nurturing residents
reweaving All PolyCultural Souls

Communing climate bereavement choirs
composed of retired
and disabled adults
with children, as time and space allow

Schooling outdoor green homes
taught with challenged kids
and the young of too many species

Gathering all ages in our EcoSchool Cafe
for jazz and comedy improv
live and also podcast

For weekend disability day and night care giving
and receiving communion

Regardless of polypathic disability
cooperative location for residential sanctuary care
inside as outside,
universally before and integrally after
each sacred HereNow momentary communion
delivered and received.

Princess Goldie’s Thanksgiving Dream

Princess Goldie was homeless
somewhere within her Gaian ruling reign.
She walked lost
through this morning’s reforesting project,
learning to spring back together
what had fallen into last night’s cold morbidity.

Princess Golden was hungry
for WinWin rules of nutritional global play.
Her tummy rumbled
as she saw a WhiteHouse
next to a swamp of punishing nettles
not quite distant enough
for peaceful conservation.

She knocked on the WhiteHouse forest floor
but no answer
so she tried the closed door
winning wealthy place
yet losing future healthy space
for hibernating bears and bulls.

Princess Gaia opened what no one had denied.
Then tried to break her fast,
but the first red bowl was too fundamentally hot,
the second, blue, too terrifyingly secular
academic
theoretical
abstractly cold,
while the green third, though smaller heard,
was ideally cooperative communing
just right for immigration.

She tried YangBear’s hard seat of authority
then YinBear’s heart seat of extended family responsibilities
before breaking BabyBear’s imprisonment
in loser retributions
attributions of autonomous sin,
too small for growing winner optimizations
restorations of wealthy health.

Princess Golden
ruled with great nightmarish nappy time
chaotic lack of ecotherapeutic resting school,
then bilaterally governed within matriarchal complex forest
networks of too-soft nurture,
then fell asleep just right
in beds for polypathic dreams
tricameral

BabyBear in-between
PapaBear and MamaBear
speaks within her hibernating open cave
harboring WinWin resolutions
too hot v cold
too hard authority v soft family responsibility
too highly egocentric v holonic ecocentric diversity,
reversity of reforesting reclimating times,
perversity of lack of LeftBrain sleepy time,
university of RightBrain healthy story rhyme,

Princess Goldie’s ego homelessness
reforesting Earth-centering nest.

No Matter How Smaller

How would an infant speak and listen with a bird?

Like a bird?

In tweeted feelings
and benign twitters of belonging together
and voracious caws of young impatient hunger.

How is that different than leaders
speaking cooperatively with each dignified other,
than non-violent communicators for better or worse,
richer with poorer,
’til death tears us apart?

Sending our prime nature-spirited relationships
off and out convexly yang
to reunite in future healthy yinfants
speaking with yang/yin both/and neighbors
after listening carefully for win/win articulating needs
and co-empathic feelings
co-arising nondual co-arising
ZeroZone co-gravitating
enthymematic
communications
co-acclimations
creolizations
humane/divine sublimations
resilient transubstantiations
viral co-expressions
polyculturing impressions
multicultural affirmations.

Why would an infant speak and listen with a bird?

NonConspiring Muses

Imagine DNA as architectural color design,
regenerative blueprint,
but written in fugue fractal songs,
no two exactly identical
except for twins.

Each species shows some shared architectural greyscale function
like staffs holding up a linear musical score
for counting eighth and sixteenth notes
in 4-dimensional realtime.

Each hue and cry species
shares it’s own seasoned key
and basic rhythmic nurturing structure
and range of song-scaled nutritional sound.

Animals sing in absorbing hues and cries of red and blue
and hibernate through ultra-violet greyscale early memories
both secular and more deeply sacred
convexly wondrous and concavely awesome
but also at risk of future terror,
WinLose cost cast as predative until mortal prey,
bully until un-organic victimized remains
dreaming in nightmare red inside
without blueprint memories of outside.

Meanwhile, smaller plants and microbes,
flora and brawny dream in green tree shade
and yellow sunlight
pushing out new deep learning roots,
sensitive to which humane divine songs
would favor and flavor us both sacred and secular beauty,
both spirit and nature true animal dynamism,

Nondual ZeroZone dynamics
of blue ahead
and red behind
green in-between
ultra-violet wisdom
of sacred secular animals,
EarthTribe cooperative lovers
reforesting economic and political health justice
both natural and spiritual,
ecological and theological
and sufficiently day/night BigNonBang
everyday DNA romantic revolutions
within dualdark polypathically logical
color-blind dream memories
in ultra-violet sound and green sight
taste and feel
unitarian smell and universally hear
windy redesigns and wintry ocean tides,
red skies dawning blueprints
for well-sung childhood songs.

Imaging DNA
designing color red
generating blueprint
for free fugue fractal songs,
no two green identical
except for dipolar newborn muses.

Discomfited By Growing Integrity

I wonder how many parents of students
suffer from studying and teaching white nationalism
against tides of multiculturing change.

And I wonder what our school boards
and state departments of children and family thinkers and doers
feel about child abuse
and neglect to actively love especially wounded children
too familiar with chronic stress
disabling pathological fear,
paranoia
mentally unhealthy domestic anger mismanagement,
demonizing races and integrative mandates
against reporters of conspiring monocultural and/or monotheistic abusers
and multicultural neglecters.

And I wonder how Green EcoSchools
in resilient ecovillage cooperative democratic communities
might one day mentor families better,
and healthier for individual egos,
eco-nomic and eco-logical multicultural restoring design,
implementation,
planting and cooperatively harvesting Future Searches
mutually investing in non-violent ego-divesting communication
of unnecessary and unhealthy monocultural mental illness
and un-historical inaccurate monotheistic unspiritual pathologies
like white nationalism.

And I wonder why
the brilliant mother and doctor
grows uncomfortable with politically correct optimization of democratic health care,
which could be ego-therapeutically recentered
for optimally robust EarthTribe empowerment outcomes
if also ecopolitically centered
on eco-therapeutic political healing
of monocultural threats
and monotheistic supremacy theories
like cancerously autonomous nationalism.

And I wonder if monoculturing/monotheistic nationalism
comes in diverse colors
like white and red and blue and green and black and brown
and ultra-violet
and polycultural genders
and polyphonic classroom harmonic experiences
of WinWin loving synergetic relationships
immunizing against racist and sexist voices at home
and/or white nationalist church
in ZeroZone secular learning and sacred listening
ego/eco-harmonic mentorships.

I wonder if my dad’s
and his dad’s racist nationalism,
disguised as white Christian patriarchal supremacism,
originally intended as WinWin spiritually divine/humane integrity
would have remained abusively within me
active and consuming as global cancer
and simulcast absence of a multiculturally intelligent boundary system,

Able to discern climate healthy GreenAllies
from race and gender patho-unlogical RedPredators,
within my own gated paternal skin
if I had not met, and loved, at public enculturing school
teachers,
administrators,
secretaries,
nurses and social workers,
therapists and cooks and dishwashers,
male and female leaders,
black and brown and white,
Catholic and Protestant and Jewish and Muslim and Buddhist and Taoist and Hindu, and Rastafarian, and Bahai and Jain and Native American EarthWorshipers, and Agnostics and Atheists and Humanists…
more non-violent in words and dance and song,
light and breath,
natural ecology and spiritual theology naturally robust
invited more than the most glorious monoculturing white national conspiracy theory competitions
against overwhelming ancient polyculturing gospel grace
of this sacred PositivEnergy cooperating Earth
inviting each multiculturing species.

I wonder why I experienced communion best
when part of a nurturing fire-circle
warming starlit nights
in a robustly timeless fertile forest.

I wonder if it is not the politicization of health care
that concerns fire-circle me
more than last night’s lack of sleep.
Rather it is de-politicization of wealth,
the anti-democratization of healthy subclimates
measured as long-term true relational wealth
which theoretically happens,
special case,
because of competitive Win/Lose business creation models
for economic medical care delivery
disassociated from our healthier profits
trusting
wise commitments to EarthCentric democracy,
commitment to true polypathic flowing rivers, inside as outside,
through resilient mountains
in communion, inside as outside,
preventive health care, inside as outside,
regardless of pre-existing political conditions
and child abusive conspiracy theories.
