TrumPublican Remorse

To USA conservative Christian brothers and sisters,

As I watch and hear and feel our health care
and wealth care resources dwindle,
and predative partisanship grow domestically
and internationally ballistic

I’m bitterly wondering,
on this otherwise sunny autumnal day,
if you feel ANY remorse?

For choosing to unleash
on your own vulnerable children,
your own climate-challenged homeland,
our organically cooperative
and beautiful sacred Earth

This dark,
“vengeance is mine”
spiteful
despotic
greedy
delusional TrumPublican
maladaptive
dysfunctional
irreligious federal administration.

Are you still living lonely
in your evangelical denial
that voting for a transparently
and ludicrously obvious

Anti-loving
Anti-uniting
Anti-peace
Anti-healthcare
Anti-Earthcare agenda

Was the organic Body
and sacred Blood of Christ,
Prince of Peace, informed
re-ligious reviving right
vote to cast?

How do you see your TrumPublican support
as standing with Jesus
on the radical side of “God is love”?
and not unenlightened hate
not fear-mongering
not disempowering anger.

Even the very proper British King James
royal capitalist Bible
says you will be known by your love
for one another,
by strength to love even your enemies

Those who don’t look
or sound like you
or even smell
and taste
and feel erotic attraction
the gendered way you do.

But a universally uniting
Holy Spirit of compassion
is not the way I know you;
I recognize you by your evangelical
nationalistic
sanctimonious
Chosen People sacrilege

Your falsely irreligious sense of holier,
supremely purer,
more orthodox,
than thou.

I know you as the John 3:16
evangelical cult of blind denial
that “God so loved the WORLD…”

Not just orthodox Chosen People,
not just humanity,
but the entire healthy democracy
of interdependent organic good faith
that love always
everywhere
every time
votes for health and peace
and compassionate humor

While hate
and fear
and anger
vote for unease and disease and war,
badly corrupted humor
and bad faith.

I can find it in my heart
to forgive you for one,
even two, sins
of ignorant voter commission

And yet,
on this spiteful day of Anti-Christlike infamy,
my religious mind struggles
to forgive those whose false pride,
cognitive dissonance issues,
continue into this dark dismal night
of Earth’s organic soul

I struggle to find shared passion
and pleasure
with those without any sorrow,
disappointment,
remorse
for irreligious
wrong
ideological dogmatism

Bad faith that TrumPublicanism
was God’s way of saving you
from voting for healthy multicultural inclusion

Healthy democracy’s constitutional aspiration
for restoring a more perfectly loving unity,
passionate happiness,
pleasures of sacredly organic,
interdependent peace,
not more unwealthy monocultural trauma

Irreligious
and irresponsible evangelical cults
of nationalistic sin
against Earth’s indigenous wisdom

Often Holy Spirit experienced outside orthodox lines
of monopolistic monocultural monotheism

Including prehistoric panentheistic
and EarthMother polytheistic
and pantheistic
and animistic reconceiving re-ligioning
living water
and mustard seed
healthy faithful wealth traditions

None of which are overwhelmingly recognized
by monotheistic addiction
to the anti-loving side
of fascist messianic ideologies
endemic to TrumPublican partisan strategies–
divide to conquer

Not democratically unite
to make constitutionally intended
world redeeming peace.

If you are feeling any shred of remorse
for ignoring political history of death
and/or theological mystery of love
reborn

Own it,
speak it,
transform silence
into choice
for extending love’s bipartisan resilience.

To do so will certainly not reduce you
to feeling worse,
and will increase our healthy democratic capacity

To feel better,
organically healthier,
loving,
peaceful,
faithful,
hopeful,
sacred belonging

Gathering together
our irreligious remorse
and our inter-religious choice
for global Prince of Peace rejoice.

Religiously Irritating History

Once upon a Roman Empire building time
a brilliantly pleasing boy was born
of humble Jewish means,
named Jesus.

Born into autocratic occupation,
to avoid military police threats
of mass Jewish male child murder,
Jesus and his mom and dad
became EastBound immigrants,
away from Western kleptocratic ruin.

Jesus was thereby exposed
to more Eastern polytheistic
and pantheistic polycultures
before returning home
to listen and learn literacy
from rabbinical monotheists.

In this time of foreign occupation,
Roman commanders policed and preyed upon
the prosperous
and innocent
and vulnerable

Creating a divide among the Rabbi leaders,
some siding with the Zealot Party
who wanted to overthrow fascist red Roman Rule
and thereby establish an Israel nation-state
reforming Judaism’s land-based theocracy
into more of a rabbinical nation-state
plutocracy.

Some rabbis found this too political
and not enough Jewish spiritual,
rooted in Promised Land natural
indigenous wisdom
enlightened by One SunGod Creator
shining more Torah manifestly
on His Chosen People
to be fruitful
and passionate pleasure prosper,
maintaining the open hospitality Way
10-commandment Truth
sacred green pasture
empowering promised land-based Life.

Jesus grew into a young messiah
Prince of SunFather’s enlightening Peace,
although surrounded by His Judaism Tribe,
hoping for a nation-building Zionist,
and not so much an advocate
of non-violent communicating serenity,
not reductively all about getting in the political
and economic face
of weaponized atrocities.

Despite lack of rabbinical support,
Jesus had a God is love for peace
gospel message
inspiring His HolyBody Spirit.

When asked if He supported paying tribute
to war- and fear-mongering Ceasar,
He said to give to Ceasar
what is capitalist coin-producing
empire-building Ceasar’s,
leaving unsaid the remainder

His religiously mature PeaceTribe
could continue their cooperative barter economy
and their Torah-teaching schools
and their walk a second mile
and turn the other cheek
gratitude Beatitudes,
to be known by their love for each other
and not by their hate against Other.

At every turn
Jesus lived and taught Love’s way of peace,
consistently giving religious preference
to restorative peace-making
rather than continuing with zealous Zionist
Chosen Nation retributive justice
against those who spoke other languages,
against those immigrating from Othered cultures
against those who had sinned
and fallen queerly short

Jesus’s consistent retort,
who among us hasn’t fallen short
of Love’s relentlessly religious
peace-making integrity?

While Jesus was sad,
tearful about disappointing his evangelical
IsraelFirst followers,
he promised that his compassion
pleasing presence
would become more democratically accessible
upon his panentheistic Holy Spirit/Nature’s return,
sacredly organic
mindfully embodied
blood and bread indigenously wise
inter-religious communion.

And to this day
authentic Christians are discerned
not by their fundamental
scripture-based orthodoxy
or their evangelical nationalistic patrimony
but by their liberally compassionate
Holy Spirit/Nature fruits.

Including,
but not necessarily limited by anything
or anyone
or any relationships
other than their demonic irreligious
fear- and anger- and hate-mongering opposites:

Peace: spiritual-mind/natural-body calm;
not unnatural/unspiritual chaos

Joy: deeply passionate contentment
not widely dispassionate discontent

Faith: spiritual-mind/natural-body confident curiosity;
not dispassionate/displeasing insecure Holier Than Thou

Kindness: compassionate care-giving;
not dispassionately unforgiving

Charity: passionately pleasing Christian [peace-making] love;
not dispassionately displeasing evangelical [just-war] disregard

Patience: thoughtfully engaging trauma’s dissonant degenerativity;
not thoughtlessly disengaging therapeutic resonant regenerativity

Gentleness: Graciously considerate religious practices
not disgraciously inconsiderate irreligious malpractices

Modesty: CreationCentered respectful humility;
not anthropocentric disrespectful greed

Goodness: Religiously moral integrity;
not nationalistic immoral hypocrisy

Longanimity (long-suffering): resilient re-ligious loyalty;
not fragile irreligious disloyalty

Self-control: engaging mind/body healthy opportunities;
not performing spirit-mind v nature-body unhealthy risks

Chastity: purity in associative actions;
not impurity in dissociative reactions.

And so it is
in this Make Christianity Healthy Again story
we might re-ligiously conclude

Zionism is to Judaism
in brilliant Prince of PeaceFull day
as Evangelism is to Christianity
in irreligiously dispassionate display

Dismay threatening to disintegrate
inter-religious peace-making
through merely MAGA nationalistic play.

Blue Brush Witness

As she lays down her blue brush
in a blue-trimmed cream
dream stone basin
of darkening water

She realizes
inside voice has been thinking
about double negative paradox
as -x/-y
can’t win pathology

Of way too much Patriarchal Capitalist
dogmatic Business As Boorishly Usual,
monochromatic
monopolistic
monocultural
monotheistic

Describing
and prescribing her
BusyMess
is cruel
cold
calculating dismissal
disregard
don’t matter

Let her splatter!
while he eats
his white survival cake

Mindlessly unwoke
to future predative
desecration issues
promoting and marketing
trauma-inflation corporations
inviting frequent-flyer
evangelically missioned Narcissists

Who probably don’t think much
of a universal peak salvation experience
yet do feel deeply united,
maybe even energetically synergetic,
about their own sacred memories
of EarthMother’s original Win/Win
multi-colored co-invested
warm wet unconditionally cooperative
co-relationships

Through time’s changing
hue and culture and cry
LeftBrain verbally emerging
too dominant

Thereby, curiosity remains difficult to contain
to deeply listen for feelings to explain
this sound and sight for blue brushes
tinting her slowly turning water
growing
blueing
flowing sadly
back through Patriarchal
Capitalist
anthroprivileged time

Emerging blue
and grey
darkening ecocide.

Transition Town Time

It was E. B. White
who famously lamented

Waking each morning
feeling prevented
from improving
his worldview experience

Or waking each morning
feeling joy
for improvements made
during views of Earth
sacred smack in Her

inexperience

Or something
probably not so involved
but with the same
missing the potential
for

Waking each morning
committed to enjoy improving
my co-invested worldview
sacred health-humored

But not in a preachy
judgment way,
more of a cosmic beauty
sacred green holonic

Sexier Santa Passions

Community trauma prevention
sounds not so sexy
to absent-minded mayors
and perennial kleptocratic players

And growing a regenerative Learning Community
isn’t really ecojust about restoring
healthy democratic justice
for a somewhat sexier
and robust multicultural environment.

Both of these Win/Win Game Theory
trauma-informed learning theory applications
remain paternally erectile
mountainously synergetic
strength functions

And valleyed ecofeminist
indigenously EcoMatrimonial Wise

NonDelusional Illusions

A temporarily useful illusion,

like Wall Street knows something
about inevitable climate pathology
disvalues of anthrosupremacism
worth illusive core investment value

is not necessarily
a merely utilitarian delusion
about timeless principles of value

like human dignity
and organic integrity
and profoundly polycultural beauty.

A temporarily useful illusion
may have long economic
and robustly deep political roots
in universally integral illusions,
round robust reflections,
gut feelings,
intuitions of past fruition
regenerating win/wins
and not degenerating
LeftBrain Loser deductive logos
and RightBrain Loser inductive
merely threadbare mythos

Languaged thoughts about useful things,
like narrative knitted feelings
from thriving co-relationships,
derive from articulating threads
in allusive indigenous wisdom

Long felt panentheistically
and/or enthymematically
not not yet
does not quite illuminate positively present

Win/win round cosmic
holonic, organic, systemic
rememory of Yangfull Trust
loves Yintegral Beauty

Usefully refines,
illustrates
polyculturally win/win
healthy democracy’s peak wealth illusion,
valleyed allusive delusion
in-between implicit wisdom
and explicit knowledge,
empowerment
and enlightenment

Circling
spiraling whole open

cooperative illusive experiences
non-zero summed
energy systemic
open whole spiraling

Alpha’s Omega Passion

I am recirculating red
and dark blue blood,
through veins
and springing arterials
of integrity’s compassion

Altering
wounding segregated pathologies
of death avoidance
not life danced

When we
together
see Alphas
StraightWhiteMale dominating
every space
in timeless now

Circulating Anthropocenic
panentheistic parching Earth
in Alpha taste
and touch
and see

Omega’s green capital face
and organic viscera,
MeWe Janus de-polarized
feeling dizzy
with dissonance

Traumatized
by unsecretive eyes
for not-not objectives

With healthy names
usurped by straight
white anthro-engoddened men
no one dare name
or look upon
without shame,
monotheistic
punishing blame

Throughout our dynamic history
of multiculturally systemic
panentheistic
iconic
sacred becoming universe

Omega’s tipping point
toward integral win/win
strategic green
bi-hemispherically balancing
co-messianic intelligence

Recirculating red
and dark blue blood,
through veins
and springing Alpha arterials
of integrity’s Omega co-passion.

Widowed ComPassion

Loving Jose

Yes, Jose,
this is another love letter
from anthroprivileged me
to LeftBrain dominant you
for multicultural us.

I’m still here
sinking into my deep blue camp chair
with feet resting on a weathered
wooden platform
for my monastic tent

Now folded
and masterfully squeezed into its storage bag
like a fat green sausage
with a thick
black fly zipper,
secure,
awaiting it’s next orgasmic coming out
to camp and play.

And you,
warm and glistening
listening you,
are still driving
west toward this transition
Saturday’s bittersweet sunset.

Perhaps already lonely
thinking
of what
and feeling whom
lies ahead
while all else feels left behind

Another week of adventure lost;
another week of memories gained

Yet memories have grown cacophonous
while adventures in knowing
new frontiers
grow old as shrinking Earth
grown bodies

Fading hope to feel
taste
see
hear
smell
touch abundantly enough
for this full life
experiencing love
quenched time

Comparing future now to back there then,
wishing we could have us all
warm and pleasant
in our head,
heart,
bed of intimacy
without embarrassing
premature limits,
boundary issues,
health precautions.

You tried to apologize
for not asking more
about my wounded kids

And I did not think to apologize,
but wonder, now, that I didn’t,
for not asking how you are feeling
and dealing
post prostate cancer

Remissions
feel like uncertain transitions,
undemanding admissions
both healthy opportunities
and diseased risks
lie beyond this day’s journey
toward Albany.

Perhaps you,
like me,
fear
and already feel
loss of intimacy
imagined
yet not touched,
thought
but not appreciably,
healthy needed
but not safely found,
sacred bound
for joy’s immense integrity.

When I walked into our group’s enclosed porch
this past Sunday
for my first check-in circle,
your first facilitation,
I thought of my former boss.

You look and sound
like Bishop Tafoya,
when he was your age
and I was half your age.

I had trouble
shaking this sage off.

It helps
that you sing
with warmth and passion
in fulsome baritone,
as the good Bishop
decidedly did not.

Nor could I imagine him
dancing with a white scarved fan
with integrity
flirtatious machismo
joyfulness
deeply resounding playfulness.

Do you have a type?
I wonder
Are you familiar with mine?

Those romantic,
erupting into erotic,
miracles of preference
we cannot control
or calm our appetites
to accept
AND appreciate,
anticipate
those with us
here and there
in and out of Gayla 44,
after and before
now heading west
away from east.

So much to hide,
to learn,
to unveil,
to set aside
for graceful aging,
and to warmly embrace
for compassioned wisdom
felt together,
rather than silently,
less sacredly,
apart.

The Center’s lunch bell rang
and now has gone

Absorbed by quiet shushing
and rustling
high in evergreens
baking in Mama’s summertime
weekend of commerce
and less commercial passions,
traffic rituals,

Pre-empting ancient natural liturgies
of sea,
flowing water
and strong mountains
inspiring bonfires
bond-fire between rising
and falling phoenix
conjoining
co-investing
multi-generational passions;
daddies and sons,
masters and slaves,
tops and bottoms,
poles and holes,
straights and rounds,
dipolar co-arising

Riding forward home
to what continues repurposing why,
reworking hidden meaning
as yet unredeemed
in sensory Business As Usual

Backward east
returning promises
of safe and healthy
bright happy new dawns
transcending broken hearts,
troubled mind’s
loss of time’s
most cherished values

Love’s integral compassions
resting first
returning last

Already
I miss you
ready to miss us.
