Earth Sanctuary

I live in a curious network of relationships,
most quietly quite lovely
and a few more intensely challenging
unrelation shipped-out

In here both/and building awareness
is our non-verbal norm
of gesture
intent
confluent action
with congruent thought
reactions,

While large-scale one-way either true or false
linear messages spread out like win-or-lose economies
and politically powerful influences
to commodify,
to perpetuate tomorrow’s consumer of either/or noise

Not as courageously authentic
and curiously integral,
holistic
as our original Earth Paradise
networking win/win potentiality
reweaving shared reality

So much positive opportunity
for improvement;
So little negative risk
of unmovement.

I hear far more win/lose
than I can possibly win/win co-respond.
This is both intensely challenging
and yet, curiously,
quietly quite lovely.

A Realer World

When I’m preparing my garden
for the drama of planting
a multicultural communion
lovely above
and interdependently rooted below,
inside human voices
sound pre-occupied with unremediated mediocrity,
unreality,
what does not richly nurture
what cannot deeply re-nature.

Non-violent communication,
like poetry,
and planting,
is about HOW co-relational win/win messages
therapeutically happen,
metaphorically co-arise consciousness.

Compassionate communication theory,
and love experience,
are about WHY co-relational win/win messages
are healthy-wealth optimizing,
and happen, and do not happen,
enough in each win/lose suffering
competitive
egocentric day
on anthrocentric mis-cultured,
capital-infested,
distractedly inhumane
unreal Earth.

Whether our analysis is driven by compassionate communication
gesture,
behavioral structure,
bilaterally supportive mindfulness,
or win/win bicameral game theory
or healthy/pathological custodial systems
regenerative opportunity/degenerative risk-avoidance analysis,
or co-relational left/right
ego/eco-recentering intervention technologies,

We all,
from west to east,
from north to south,
from left to right,
from day to night,
from green to ultra-violet,
from explicate to implicate,
from flower to root,
want to improve political and personal nutritional relationships,
opportunities for growing win/win robust consensus
consciousness,
and minimize toxic and high-risk absence of co-relational
therapeutic
supportive intent.

We all want to grow mindfulness
of intra- and inter-personal healthy communication
pasts,
futures,
nondually present here with now.

Politically incorrect zero-sum competitive communication,
win/lose egocentric miscommunication,
and anthrocentric excommunication
cause global ill-being

Just as politically correct win/win EarthCentric communication
effects and affects
healthy well-being.

Whether in my real world garden,
or on my unreal gridiron.

Poetic License to Kill, or Heal, or Both

I recently read a politically incorrect prolific poet,
or so I thought at the time,
or more felt than thought,
more truthfully,
integrally,

Who said, If poetry is politically correct,
it cannot be poetry.

So, if he is politically correct
in this statement,
is he thereby also not a poet in good standing?

An enigma to which I respond,
If so, then politically incorrect messages
also cannot be poetic,
but tragically disempowering.

Meaning that poetry has power
to change how we feel,
and sometimes listen
and sometimes speak about our relationships.

What are political relationships
if not correctly co-empowering
and incorrectly fragmenting
and disempowering–
without healthy reason
and without wealthy rhyme.

But, now I see this poet’s concern more intentionally.
If a poet’s intent is merely political correctness,
orthodox dogma of some monoculturally dangerous variety,
with no faithful participation
in change,
in our ongoing collective integrity,
potentiating,
developing,
shifting
co-relational organic powers for healthy communicating minds
still hoping to feed and feel healthy bodies,
then wealthy empowerment
becoming metaphorically richer
on Earth’s universal meaning together,
not accessible by apartheid and absolute supremacy,
with synergetic beauty
become mere utilitarian truth,
LeftBrain propaganda
politically severed,
and thereby RightBrain incorrect.

WinWin bicameral therapeutic intent
is politically correct,
empowering,
as seen in narratives of healing
and epic poetry
of time’s co-relational passage
musing into Paradise/Hell
nutritionally/toxically becoming

Where time
celebrates/ignores rhyme
and natural seasons
speak with/without spiritual co-relational reasons.

Positively Deviant

She seems afraid to say too much
and not listen enough.

Perhaps fear of becoming misunderstood
and, worse, too quickly dismissed,
her moment,
even in this small-staged sanctuary,
unnoticed
under-nourished
unfed
unwatered.

She wants to share with us
her deviant dissonant sufficiency
usually seen as negative degenerating autonomy
but, occasionally, in epiphanies of positive
ecologically healthy
revolutionary ZeroZen deviant resonant potential,

Receptive tingling silence
thumping and breathing
autonomously ringing singing
timelessly herstoric
within domesticating unreal world paradise,
unwombed worn integrity re-memories
echoing between nightseed dreams
and switching off her leftbrain daily alarm.

Until she smiles
I am impressed by her nothing is sadly wrong
yet everything goes unsanctuary too patriarchally long,

Business As RightWing World gone,
anxiety about personal and political
and social and psychological
and mental and physical health issues
for future climate chaos kids
reversing integrity’s robust synergetic win-win potential.

I notice then
soft teeth with nearly infinite hard work
pain
suffering loss,
alone?

Physically alone,
and not not spiritually autonomous
feminist suffering deviance
often in counterculturing ways
to help others,
more win-lose predominant,
suffer unspoken withdrawal less.

Once
I see her primal eyes smile
and suddenly my own competitive mistrust,
my own positive deviant naked fear,
goes away,
dismissed by curious eagerness.

Compassion therapeutically co-arises.

I ask if she too suffers
without sufficient release
from mutually withheld win-win loneliness,
mistrust of fully disclosed intimacy
vulnerability
co-empathic joy.

She continues
now turning toward wealthy belly laughs
co-operating integrity
mutually vibrating abdowomen,
soul sound of synergy’s vast wisdom
loudly rooting for win-win potential global health
through her sanctuary solidarity,
still curiously becoming.

She seems fearless to listen too much
and eager to not say enough.

Understanding YHWH Enough

Do I politically understand you
YHWH
enough
to predict you enjoy your unpersonified ego
as partly successful predator-light
racing against mortality shared by all living species
because we are not yet godly resilient enough?
To meet your supreme judgmental win/lose zero-sum standards
of natural/spiritual dual/dark degeneration.

Have you deliberately,
with full intent,
designed living systems
to fall apart
beyond our internal capacity
to perpetually regenerate?
To fragment, eventually
degrade beyond autonomous recognition,

Like an autumn leaf
leaving ego’s immortal goddess tree of life behind
to fertilize future god-souled roots
of nutritional RNA
healthy DNA
fertility of EarthMother’s’
self-perpetuating regenerativity;
yet still squabbling,
on co-empathic occasion,
in-between whether the apostrophe
goes lefts or rights
of our original EarthSouls’s.

Do I understand you
YHWH
regeneratively win/win inclusive enough?
For godly-humane compassion,
resilient interdependent yang-yin communication,
to live within hypothetical hyphen’s’
spiraling temporal health and happiness roots
ZeroZen
nutritional multi-regenerational imagination.

Between GoodFriday and EarthDay

BlackFriday suffering,
as Buddhist allies would speak of global EarthDay pathology,
and sin,
as Messianic Christ travelers,
un-privileged humane-immigrant/divine-emigrant,
would speak of Win/Lose mortal Lose/Lose destiny,
anxiously headed for Lose-Ego/Lose EcoHabitat Earth,
internal and external climate degeneration RealWorlds,
Suffering and sin are graceful integrity’s fragmentation,
which is a great toxic divide
between GoodFriday unhappy nature
and EarthDay spiritual health.

There is, perhaps,
also another more positive function for ego-fragmentation,
more accessible to everyday noticing with compassion,
to interdependent fragments of living systems

Over-invested in Win/Lose sub-optimal survival
of the fittest predator

Also seen and heard,
felt and tasted and touched
in implicate-yin shadow,

Under-invested in Win/Win optimal thrival
of healthy Left EgoBody
and wealthy Right EcoSoul Mind,

As immortal as DNA’s long regenerate
open systemic
multiculturing
Win/Win natural/spiritual
bilateral polynomial appositions,

Between historic GoodFridays
and herstoric EarthMother HealthWomb
of Win/Win co-redemptive polypaths
toward Great Transitional EarthDay.

Narrow Paths Less Taken

A narrow way
between left-brain dominant history
of commodified visual health-frames
in wealthy solidarity
with right-brain prominent yin-flow
felt heart-touched and eco-tasted
multi-generationally tested
both/and cooperative health
with either/or competing against
stretching
creatively/uncreatively fragmenting ego-integrity potential
for win/win left here/now
with win/lose health/pathology remembering right,
cautioning,
tip-pointing both/and heuristic
holistic
holonic timeless fertile right
EarthSoul centered becoming
whole re-open ego/eco-systemic.

Changing climates of Earth double-bound
dipolar feelings
invoked by ecopathic RightBrain nature
causal spirit-effective songs,
dirges and thunders
great and small enlightenings,
and by stressed left-brain ego-systemic inside soul-voices
finding sacred iconic-value metaphors

Inflowing implicit wealth
of re-woven feeling health
timelessly right-brain true multi-regenerational ZeroSoul memories
trusted, without ZeroSum irrational remainder,
ennobling aging rhetorical/non-rhetorical communal events,
resilient phenomenological/ecological co-relational experiences,
compassionate left/right mutual integrity,

Left-brain unnoticed wealth-formed thought
with Right-brain implicating healthy feelings heart-touched
liberal loving taste for heart-strong
health resilience

Democratic solidarity,
yet fluid,
well-digested
re-digesting ego/eco-integrity,
breathing in Earth-natural scents and tastes and motions and sounds,
out dipolar nature/spirit
exhalations ego/eco-therapeutic communions
cooperatively-owned and self/other managed

Of and for iconic thought with ironic feeling
good opportunities
with least unhealthy risk
of breathing in
more than timeless future healthy systems could breath
time’s patience out

For unrelational loneliness
and synaptic/aptic co-relational bicameral bliss/fullness
and pathologic/emptiness,
breathing in natural-felt causes
to breath out spirit-health/wealth effects
resiliently refueling ego/eco-holistic interdependent effect/cause

Both/And with Either/Or
Win/Win landscapes,
narrow dipolar wu-wei
not not zero-soul centering
destinies of healthy Wise Elders
aging into right-brain timeless
absence of infant ego-fragmentation

Remembering win/win innocence
ego/eco-womb re-becoming
timeless health/wealth
narrow dipolar ways
for truth
and light/dual-dark
transparent/therapeutic
motion/emotions.

Never pray alone for cognitive/affective nondualistic wisdom.
You may autonomously/interdependently receive
what you asked for
but cannot clearly speak of feeling
integrity’s timeless transformative
radically democratic
energetic potential

Reverently following
narrow dipolar secular/sacred paths
less left-brain
more right-brain intuitively re-taken
re-visited
wealth re-membering
health re-weaving
small and great ego-effect/eco-cause re-turnings
unto timeless win/win opportunity

Integrity’s local/global potential.

Lonely Nest

Loneliness,
of individuals,
families,
communities
and nation-states,
leads insufficient capacity
to prophecy everyone’s collective interdependence,
and thereby remains partially blind
to Win/Win optimal health/wealth outcomes,
which could not be monopolized
by experiential loneliness
felt internal monocultural sadness.

By inviting risk to shift,
nudge,
notice personal/political Lose/Lose depreciations,
bucket lists of long-standing tensions
causing unhealthy cognitive/affective dissonance
unresiliently stuck in slow ego-depreciating mortality,
absence of furthering resilient appreciative-inquiry belonging
within this
and each
and every
timeless Win/Win left-brain fragmenting
ego-prominent compassion-nest
self/other-perpetuating cooperative polypaths
implied within each unprophetic deeply pre-ingested
re-ingesting healthy/wealthy moment,

Irrational spiraling not not ego/ecotherapeutic self-care,
a dynamic healing ZeroZone
away from repressive solid OneNest walls
of silently atoning loneliness,
onelinest
healthy hoping toward impressive implicit webs
for pregnant metaphoric
meteoric Earthiness,
EarthTribe nest.

Large Frame Painting

I used to envy still life painters
longing to see
organic geometric relationships
between full-color light
and irregular isolating forms,

These close to self-identity
and those background wildernesses
of bright and happy adventure
or dark and fear-filled
encroaching climate pathologies
unenduring nightmare epic nights.

Now I find healthier
and happier resilience
listening to biometric interrelationships
within ever changing,
not the least bit still dead,
flowing light formed Yang
nudging more or less happily
toward brightest ZeroCore
dualdark fertile pregnant potentialities
of universal Yintegrity
through sight and sound,

For polypathic touch and taste and feel
with polyphonic fragrances
of spring newborn cries and coos
through winter’s wise dream
musical-comedy/tragedy hibernation,
awaiting further new resilience days
with resonant bright sky nights

Ultra-violet souled,
witness to Earth’s great transitory emotions.

I now envy synergetic, not fragmenting,
creolizing, not colonizing
matriarchal both/and feeling
not so angry dominating patriarchal
either/or straight too queer
for mutual redemption,
resilient co-facilitators of communication
role-playing slow and GoldenRule grown
full-life revolving pictures
speaking nutritionally through cooperatively owned frames

Pursuing resilient health/wealth dreams
in ego’s foreground
as witnessed by polypathic
organic voices with rhythm
and pattern,
beat and light and darkly sung emotions
inviting bright and happy resonantly compassionate adventures
with AllSouls living,
past,
and regenerative future

Which is rather a larger
and more robust life-painting skills
integrity agenda.

RealTalk Parties

What if political parties
all over Earth
were invited together to sign a covenant
at a We The BiCameral People Party;

A covenant to never nominate or endorse or vote for a candidate for public office
without economic
and political
and environmental
and psychological
and socio-cooperative logical training
in non-violent communication skills,
verbal and non-verbal.

This experience,
publicly documented,
multicultural design certified,
quantified,
qualifies facilitators of RealTalk
inclusive and contagious public health
to con-celebrate virtuous GoldenRule circles
and green ecosystemic
climate wealthy public/private lives

RealWalk more robust than Win/Lose necessarily tolerant voices
unheard herded, not invited,
into what RealTalk could become
a more resilient deeper learning
as a Win/Win trusting health democracy.

What if Christian Law and Moral Order Schools
required first year retributive justice Win/Lose classes
as legal baseline Business As Win/Lose Usual,
And second year restorative peace and justice
outdoor green ecogame robust nutrition classes
in moral virtuous circles
Transactional Business As Healthy Win/Win Usual,

And third year liberal-green/conservational-red
left/right
ego/eco-justice
private/public health care resilient
mediation life skill tipping-pointers
toward Win/Win co-inviters,
as favorably contrasted
against Lose/Lose long-term UnDead
UnReal ClimateWalk of death skill commodifiers?

What if health-stretching tolerance
became, again, a re-creative tension
between growing Win/Win eco-resilience
and not so much toxic Win/Lose ego-dissonance?

Instead,
compassionate left/right resonance
liberal/conservational
+1/(-,-)0 polynomial
greenblue, aqua,ultra-violet,
sometimes plainly gorgeous/monocultural imperialist red,
left-wing/right-boot
ego-march/eco-systemic fancy flight
bilaterally conservative
of ego-marching/eco-dancing balance,

Functional RealWalk Yang strength/
Flowing RealUnTalk Yintegrity,
atomic/wave-linear,
precessive/recessive (Bucky Fuller)
patriarchal/matriarchal
fragmented complexity
with an impossible fractal-holonic-rainbow understory
densely learned polypathic.

What if restorative justice,
for GoldenRule WinWin covenant violators,
were RealWalk invitations
to a reverse-potlatch,
unkleptocratic green sanctuary event
for paying Lose/Lose offender taxes
to co-invest in less Win/Lose ZeroSum violence
against Win/Win emergent organic re-membering
resilient GoldenRule cooperatives
established in our original democratic
interdependent Earth Patriotic Party
composed entirely of sacred covenanted co-relationships

To never ever choose Win/Lose candidates
hoping they won’t become another Lose/Lose nominee
for RealTalk RealWalk cooperative public office
or even private healthy-wealthy
intrapersonal left/right
Win/Win
un-sociopathic health practice.
