We Came To Pass Peace

Said the Palestinians
to their Israeli neighbors
singing and dancing
karaoke on the Strip

I wish I knew
how to pursue
dual citizenship
as readily
as you

To which Israelis
responded to their Muslim neighbors
dancing in sacred dervish spirals
with songs of 40 year journeys
into We Haven’t a Clue

So what shall we do?

Let’s all apply
for dual citizenship
on this EarthTribal Strip

What could our governments say
to deny this sacred integral Way?

Both together
and apart
we know our governors
are not here to be our keepers
of narcissistic
nationalistic
and alarmingly ballistic
defense.

Our empowering folksongs
empathically resonate
with peace and love demands
for compassionate EarthTribal dance

Better religiously together
than disintegrating apart
from our karaoke on the Strip
song and dance togatherers

Descended
from ancient shepherds
dancing through inhaling
and exhaling monthly moonlight
singing under shared story stars

EarthMothers
unexpectedly
miraculously
emerged from Black Holiness
with singing children
and inspiraling sabbath men.

Sacred Healing

Can you make any sense of
systemic racism?

No more common sense than
too much patriarchalism–
all leftbrain dominant things
oppressing sacred Earth’s
polycultural win/win systems
promoting resiliently wealthy
resonant synergetic health.

Fruitful wombs,
like apple cores,
may be an EarthTribal positive prejudice
not associating Yang energy
with evil patriarchy
and ugly machismo,
sad
and bad
and mad feelings
never regeneratively glad.

And then
I have this further prejudice
against restorative justice question,
perhaps rooted in deep EarthTribal fear
and anger about realistic prospects
of MotherEarth’s revenge
to punish our inhumane ecocide
to fuel a foul-based anthro-privilege?

Traditionally supported
by orthodox StraightWhiteMale dominant doxologies
advocating monotheistically-endorsed
sacred scriptures supporting anthro-supremacy

Invoking Jehovah’s self-righteous tools
for sharpening weapons
enforcing win/lose culturally expressed
retributive justice against idolatrous aliens,
more obsessed with punishing
unstraight sojourners
unwhite slaves
unpatriarchal seducers

Of compassion’s
defiant
dynamic
Whole Open NonZero Systemic
holonic-iconic
win/win ecofeminists

Who are all about
cooperatively empowering Earth’s
panentheistically sacred win/win Tribes
as we restore cultural peace
and health
and polycultural safety

Led by history’s front-line trauma victims
of StraightWhite Patriarchal Capitalists
free to ignore
and/or punish
growing neurodiverse disabilities,
to invest in genocide
from an unsafe corporately veiled distance,
to exterminate pesky pests
blaming mink coats
and top hats
for ecocide

LeftBrain dominant terror narratives
leaving huge non-hugged mindbody wounds
begging for EarthMother’s foregiveness

Which will include
restoring a role for Her masculine
radiant Yang synergy
with all EarthTribal positive Trust
and co-invested Health
and co-empathic Beauty

Empowering Earth-resilient matrimony,
balancing Sun’s Other unwise
unfettered
searing solo patrimony,
from where and for when
here and now
outside and inside
space and time
body and mind
once balancing integrity promised
provoke brilliant
resilient Sacred Healing.

After the RightWing Bullying Event

I woke up feeling better today,
in a post-trauma kind of way.

This prompts me to give priority to gathering notes
with supporting documents

And, of course,
to baking for the social in two days.

I don’t think my Attorney needs any further evidence
for a late-October hearing.
I suspect that when the Bully
reads our Attorney’s Corporate letter,
my need for a hearing
will quickly dissipate.

For some reason,
this She/Bully needs to read
ruminate
RabbitHole cold
hard Patriarchal-Capitalist
retributive justice lessons
speaking CORPORATE ATTORNEY language.

It would, of course, be much less expensive and traumatic
to restore nonviolent communication

Endorsing normal
civil-adult humility
of being quick to say,
as our mother’s taught us,
so they wouldn’t be raising no bratty kids,
“I’m sorry”
and, outside, to others,
“I forgive your temporary insanity”
And, inside,
“Thereby foregive my past excursions into temporary insanity
on a bad
RightWing offensive
day.”

All of which seems to suggest,
as the brownies cool,
that ecocidal ideation,
rather than inspired by warm
boundlessly inclusive
free forgiveness
cooperative win/win
sacred EarthTribal
Yin-tegral compassion,

Teaches win/lose
patriarchal-capitalist
cold
hard
and expensive ATTORNEY-speak
LeftBrain UberYang-dominant lessons.

Empowering Earth Resilience

I’ve noticed our Republic’s
RightWing Tree of Life
reacts to root-systemic problems
as if oak strong branches
lifted to majesty worshiping heights
of supremacy
need not be concerned
with watering
and feeding democratic roots
of nutrition
nurture
empowerment.

Such behavior feels less intelligent
than a sacred Tree of MotherEarth

More like a gang
of Bully Putin Pulpits
and capital addicted Trumpian Puppets
with boundlessly hungry eyes
and upset stomachs

Trying to feed
from entitled top,
trickling down to lowly
leftover bottoms,
what we must primally breed
from deep down
communing inside
mused toward out
and up
transcendent both/and
win/win resonant
organic
uniting experience

Not quite so angry
with enfeebled leaders
and not mad
with anemic cooperative skills
for resolving which top bully
eating all challenger bullies
will next be crowned King
of the trauma-riddled Republican Mountain.

Meanwhile
democratic grassroots burn
and grains of deep potential nutrition fail
to feel multicultural health
trust
truth
beauty
wisdom
compassion
kindness

Sacred integrity of a wealthy
EarthMothered forest.

Transformative Gardens

Help us to be the always hopeful gardeners of the spirit
who know that without darkness
nothing comes to birth
as without light
nothing flowers. ~ May Sarton

And
empower us to become
the always natural gardeners
mindful of cooperative metaphysical spirits
of sun lightened days
and Earth empowering nights

Aware that with only darkness
every relationship comes to degeneration

Aware that with only light
nothing comes to full-term healthy fruition

Aware that with no light
nothing regenerates fertile blossoms

Aware that with no darkness
no silence
no winter
no deep sacred listening,
nothing roots uniting empathy
or transformative change
integrity

Of sacred plants
with their people
sharing this EarthGarden planet.

Stretching Serenity Prayer

May our minds seek integral
ethical truth
where
and when
our bodies find serenity
in aesthetic beauty

Of minds feeling trust
when
and where
bodies receive neurosystemic
win/win ecstasy
of naturally spiritual compassion.

May our passions together
include enough curiosity
to appreciate both negative
and positive things
we cannot change
and resilient courage
to change those negative relationships
we cannot positively accept.

May we be so,
accepting no Truth
without Beauty,
no Justice
without Peace,
no Correction
without Resurrection.

Restoring Peace

Yang+Yin optimal health economics
fueling wealthy cooperative politics

Leads to less survivalist
Yang v Yin
Also,
Yang x Yin
multiplies SunLight x EarthPower
cooperative empowerment
fuels enlightening reiterations,
integrations,
creolizations

As Yang/Yin divides
separates
disintegrates otherwise win/win
healthy systems.

So, just a quick restorative justice question–

Let’s imagine a homeless adolescent (Yang)
and an angry and resentful parent (Yin)
left behind
at what used to pass
as their peaceful white picket-fenced
house
home
habitat.

Do we assume the defiant
rebellious
often self-vindicating
PTSD and ADHD,
homeless adolescent
is typically at fault?
maybe?

Or
do we blame
and shame
the still housed adult
working one
or two
or three jobs?

Why not both
and why not avoid condemning
either Yang or Yin

Perhaps complicated
with trauma intergenerational histories
as old as slavery
and warrior rape
and tribal sacrifices
of adolescent trust
and beauty
and soul emptying absence
of win/win integrity,
secular intent,
sacred hope.

Tao Game Theory

This LeftMind dominant
viral virtue
of practicing RightBody patience

Is a coverup
for feeling deep impatience.

Feeling impatient is not as hopeful
as exploring active curiosity.

Curiosity
about why someone,
including my own anthro-privileged self,
would default to live win/lose
competitively

When our healthiest,
and safest
economically enlightened
and politically empowering experiences
have always grown choices to live
liberally
radically
integrally
EarthTribally
sacredly
neurosystemically
ecologically
more fully win/win,
cooperatively co-invested.

Passionate curiosity might kill the occasional cat;
but probably not more deadly
than dispassionate lack of curiosity.

Besides,
passionate curiosity can also be more fun
than boring impatience

More joyful,
than sad
mad
bad

More curiously glad
even appropriately win/win consenting adult/adult lusty

More sad/glad soulful
preferring mindful disciplines
like healthy therapeutic dances
and well-sung
resiliently brilliant love songs.

Political Wisdom

I remember,
back in early pre-colonial days,
when promise
and purposes
of prosperity,
well-being,
safe wealthy health care
assumed universal EarthTribal goals

For uniting spiritual
mental health
including natural
embodied wealth
for all organic
and mineral
and bone
and teeth
and nails
and hearts
and guts
and root chakras
of woody plants
and patriarchal people
on EarthTribe’s shared
and sacred
matriarchal planet.

And, I remember
not so long ago
when bipartisan cooperative co-investment
in health
was resilient wealth
for people,
plants,
and eco-planetary systems
built through resonant nonviolent communications
advocating economic health,
liberally conservational wealth
of panentheistic Earth Communion

Inviting co-investments
in politically enlightened
co-empowerment.

Powers for restoring EarthTribal
organic health-wealth eco-justice

Promoting ego-resilient peace

For individual communities
and our polycultural
extended families
of species,
Earth enthusiastic ecofeminists

Advocates
for healthy universal wealthy
unitarian EarthTribe compassionate
resonant
resilient regard,
mindfulness,
immanently indigenous wisdom

Virtuous sacred circles
restoring Whole Open Systemic justice,
transubstantiating
win/win nonviolent cooperatives.

Settling Contentious Affairs

Guns,
and ballistic threats
don’t settle anything
They can’t,
more quickly
kill.

Mindfulness,
and compassion therapies,
might restore peace
We could
most inclusively
embrace.

Could our court
and prison
and police
and legislative systems
become more mindful,
less judgmental,
by restoring win/win hopeful health?

Rather than punishing
shadowed neurodiversity
and cognitive limitations
and post traumatic stress disorders
and attention deficit hyperactivity disorders
and poverty
and lack of affordable self-medication choices,

Retribution
revenge
assuming perpetrators had real-world powers
to choose
and chose badly
madly
sadly.

Court fines
and forced confinement
in bullying cultural environments,
and verbal abuse from guards
and cops
are not infractions
are not extractions
predations
crimes against healthy wealth
of possibilities
for restoring EarthTribe justice.
