If I were a poor woman
I would dance and sing
through basement boogy woogy bars
all these days and nights
of EarthTribe healthy men
Winning
not measured in applause
but absorbing painful bunions
in glad support
of Earth’s healthiest worn-out pause
Performing songs with peace
inviting massive choirs
composing mother muses,
matriarchs of deeply felt integrity
dancing EarthDay’s cause.
I need to know
if you have seen
or heard anything from me
or about me
that would cause you to hesitate
to hire me full-time
for the next sex worker
and spiritual director
and financial co-investor
position
Opening up
on your personal
and political empowerment team.
I would also like to know
if you have seen and heard,
tasted and smelled,
felt and touched
anything positive
compelling
engaging about me
That would discourage you
from firing me
from my current part-time position
enabling your fears of losing me
to some better
bigger
more powerful,
possibly even somewhat more enlightened
and less angry,
narcissist.
Communication among organic creations
of sacred EarthMother
are overwhelmingly rooted
in nonverbal
nonviolent communion
Complex evidence of things
within relationships of feeling
and touch,
creatures seen
and heard,
smelled
and tasted,
cognitive awareness of purpose
and intuitive integrity
for meaningful
sacred smooth mindfulness
We are, together,
at our best,
on and in and for and of
Earth’s best solidarity day,
compassionate communion
of verbalized humane purposes
and nonverbal divine meaning.
CoPassionate nonverbal communion
turns movement into dance,
reincarnates muses into instruments
of recreative music,
evokes birdsong joy
and pensive grey mourning,
shushes ebbing and inhaling surf,
murmurs in babbling brooks
of suffering speaking servants.
Nonverbal communion
does not bring evidence
for falsely claimed risks
against democratic health.
Sacred integrity
proposes a good faith alternative
to zero-sum
win-lose competitive
compromised trust.
Earth’s meaningful
richly resonant
robustly resilient organic Tribes
nonverbally know
regeneratively believe
feel with full cultural integrity
Our univocally shared economic need
to advance ecologically healthy opportunity
While minimizing unwealthy
unwise political disempowering risks
to this profoundly communing
living
regenerative planet
with verbal and nonverbal persons
quieter plants
and all sentient
organically communicating
beings becoming
True purposive effects
and Beautiful
meaningful yet nonverbal
causes felt
as sacred needed
and positively wanted
co-passionate communion.
Wanting to not be alone
is not always the same
as wanting to speak with someone.
Sometimes
being with someone
also feels like being here
and listening now
nurturing source for each Other,
Non-coincidental Me
evolving toward
co-incident WeView identity
Sometimes in fear
and sometimes in courageous curiosity,
in sickness and in health,
in serious doubt
and in playful dialogue,
in physical troubles and in spiritual wealth,
in competition and in cooperation,
in silence and within chatty talk therapy,
in separation and in synergy,
in solitude
and in compassionate solidarity
Wanting to not be alone
and yet needing to deeply listen
for emerging peace.
Lately,
I too often experience
anger begets anger
to also remember
love begets love.
This same appositional binary
appears in retributive criminal justice codes
culturally outweighing
restorative EarthJust climates
of healthcare giving
is also wellness receiving.
Our criminal justice codes
are designed to hurt
and disempower
oppositionally defiant individuals,
greedy
ego-self-righteous
Takers,
Terror capitalized
Otherers,
Rapists
with rapid-fire militarized
Take Up PatriarchalCapitalist Arms
against Motherers,
Angry
and coldly calculating
Murderers,
Enslavers
Addictors
Hate Preachers,
And their neglected
mental/spiritual unhealthy
Followers
Often with police
or military commodified retaliation histories
speaking in Wins
for Good Straight WhiteMale privilege
so must Lose
Other rivalrous voices
Blind to win/win restorative peace
and EarthJustice
Where compassion begets potential
for growing cooperatively held
compassion
through nonviolent communication
Verbal
and nonverbal,
secularly spoken
and sacredly felt,
ecologically healthy
and theologically wealthy
polyculturing communion.
Anger,
fear,
and hate speak harm
where unconditional regard
listens for healthcare giving
and receiving reciprocity,
for love,
for compassionate win/win healing
EgoCenters
living in organic EcoSystems.
Passionate anger
is not an intrinsic evil
nor does immature selfishness
always lead to egocentric greed
and hoarding
and aggression
sourcing original win/lose sins
of dark oppression
and disempowering violence.
Anger and greed and fear
are daily warnings
that our nationalistic
PatriarchalCapitalist cultural road
to internal health
and external peace
is more likely
through lovely PolyCultural Communion healing.
Sacred Earth Communion
may begin by simply taking a breath
to remember rainbow ecosystemic synergy
of humane light
shaping divinely synergetic powers
Just as anger begets anger
and retributive punishing
abusive and neglectful marginalizing,
dissociative wounding
monotheistic supremacist
DualDark inside/outside Systems
So too compassion and nonviolent deep listening
for win/win healing possibilities
for mind, inside
and body, outside
mental/spiritual health care
for egos still actively hoping
ecosystemic resonantly resilient
wealthy relationships
will restore interpersonal justice
through nonviolent communication
Transparently
and vulnerably communicating
reflections of a rainbow stopping traffic
to recall fleeting light perfections
of Earth’s health empowering peace.
Forgiveness,
like trust
and repentance
and the salvation of heroes
slowly getting back up,
Forgiveness,
of Other
and others
and self,
Forgiving
is not instant,
like a package of oatmeal
or grits,
because growing
and regrowing trust
is a process,
like growing flowers,
blossoming in their
and our own
best time for resilience,
regeneration,
restoring beauty
and peace
Forgiveness,
like repentance
and the win/win salvation of souls,
isn’t all or nothing,
except in those climatic moments
of anger,
when it is nothing,
and except in those climatic moments
of joy,
when it is all
When we are fully engaged
in trusting this place
investing this time
within win/win EarthTribe
mundane sacramental life
Just right
for getting back up
What’s left
for giving Other
yet another chance
to not screw us up.
Earth’s organic systems wonder
if both of these could be true:
Poverty and ignorance breed violence.
Capitalism and patriarchalism feed conflict.
If so,
is the first
or the second
history’s enculturing root system?
And is the Other
our competitively threatening
viral blossom of oppression?
And EarthMother wonders
if natural empowering
is also spiritual enlightening
cooperative Wisdom
inviting humane peace,
less dissonant debate praxis
preferring to invest
in more resilient dialogue practice
instead.
In dialogue with Monica Sharma’s “Radical Transformational Leadership: Strategic Action for Change Agents,” p. 13.
S/he wonders why
when we breathe in
our left sides
feel right mind dominant
when our rights inside
feel LeftBrain capital deviated,
Dysfunctional
disappointing
disharmonious
sad and lonely
dissonant
disturbed
unbalanced
uneased
Constipated

Stuck

not fluently holistically impressed,
Pressured

Unenlightened
unarticulated
not understanding
not cooperatively experiencing
co-investing in questioning
Why we continue longing
for bicameral win/win engagement
of all our leisurely
peaceful
integral senses
And yet yearn
for vicarious entertainment
without discernable killing Time
guilt for giving up
on Earth health
restoring just systems
Losing out
on holistic Ego inside
Eco-outside Other
stereophonic redundancy
reiteration
remembering
reconnecting
religioning
reimagining
Feedback and forth
in-between engaging Others
entertaining Ego’s vacationing musical
sometimes vocational whimsical
Sometimes multi-sexual,
sometimes inter-religious,
sometimes eco-political,
sometimes co-invested
Yet unspoken
lyrically right spaced
and left lined
healthy mind
mined
mimed
mused questions.
S/he also wonders why
LeftBrain dominant monoculturalism,
like warring monopolies
and terrifying angry monotheism
and fear of His unfeeling monotony
and mono-monied values
sound like madness marching
in vicious politicized squares
While RightMind prominent S/He polycultures
feel polypathically polymathic
virtuous ecological recircling potential
and polyvagal music rivered
polyphonic inside shivered
energetic peace duo-potency
Not so much at war
dueling impotency.
S/he questions
If thick and robust LeftBrain engagement
could not possibly become
more stereophonically peaceful,
reiteratively co-passionate
RightMind communal,
Yet intimately at rest,
vicariously imagined
EarthCentric reality remembered
resilient
Entertainments,

Healthy-Happy Holidays,
BiLateral questions
ego/eco-systemic communications,
ReCreative
BiCameral consciousness
of co-operating primacy
for peaceful co-relationship
S/he wonders
if her RightMind co-relational primacy
deeply listens for
and widely speaks of
his LeftBrain dominant Ego
capitalized AnthroSupremacy
When wiser win/win dialogue
degenerates
into win/lose debate
between healthy
cooperative
engaging Her not-not questions
and wealthy
competitions with HiStory
entertaining co-passionate Him
positive bicultural answers.
S/he wonders
if sometimes,
and perhaps always,
the opposite of peaceful integrity
is aggressive loneliness.
The MonoTheistic conclusions
self-righteously drawn
by too many Straight
White
Male corporate leaders
More comfortable with their asset management skills
than uncomfortable with their power overish tendencies
of systemic capitalism
historic kleptocracy
transcendent autocracy
Is dark-skinned slavery,
dark-minded disempowerment,
defensive proprietary oppressor
zealously predative mistakes
assuming lack of sacred
enlightenment
in profane Other.
By contrast,
the PolyEcological resolution
of EarthMother indigenous wisdom
is multicultural co-investment
in healthy democratic
win/win wealthy polyvagal neurosystems
Finding universal
uniting salvation
in resonantly resilient
health care energy
Massively co-mediated
co-empathic
co-operatively owned
and nutritiously nurtured
addiction to EarthPeace
multiculturing healthy democratic
healing justice.
When our religious beliefs
don’t mention
and challenge
systemic racism,
then we suffer
from anti-ligion,
dissociative division,
Other punishing injustice,
more than we restore worship
awe
connection
with all Earth’s multiculturally healthy
resilient diversity,
Truth and Beauty
of cherished sacred life.
Where Earth’s international diplomats
might hope for multiculturally appropriate
justice
Radical theologians aspire
to restore sacred EarthGreen Peace
And EarthBeauty mystics,
those reculsive nature is not not spiritual
indigenously serene
and spacious mystics
nondualistic
nonviolent
non-zerosum ecological economists
Actively hope
the rest of us unenlightened
and disempowered victims
of degenerative stressful traumas
find some cooperatively co-invested
serenity
In our sacred EarthTribal
co-empathic
co-arising justice
co-passioning peace restoring
peak experience
long-term multi-regenerational memories
of preferably bilateral
synergetic
co-neurosystemic
passionately peaking
co-identity
Right here at home
in family
and local ecopolitical community
Where Earth’s multicultural diplomats
might hope for democratic healthy wealth
restoring integrally cooperative justice.
