Adopting Adaptive Integrity

I could change my mind
about adopting you
no more than change my heart’s content
about what is healthy
and what is diseased absence of integrity
and what lies somewhat uneasily in-between
within my contenting patient bicameral mind.

ProActive adoption
healthing my ego’s affluent hope-filled exploration
and our ecohabitat’s effluent nutritional transliterations,
discerning communions
composed of conflicted, fragmented people,
adopting/adapting our weeds and edible and ornamental resources,
our Earth motherland planetary spaces
revolving DNA fractal interdependent deep learning memories–
noticing-understanding
planning-planting
implementing-governing-harvesting
evaluating-digesting
noticing positive and negative changes,
healthy and pathological,
winning and losing interdependent health and fragmenting pathologies

Adopting adaptive changes of holonic universal WinWin
becoming light and dualdark
co-passioning bright left
with bilateral co-arising intuitive felt right
for here and now

Adoption works best
when cooperatively intended
for mutual WinWin benefit,
for both internal ego needs
and external-ecotherapeutic feeling climates, internalized humanely
healthy wealth of long-term dynamic interdependent resilience.

Adoption, whether co-gravitating with a child,
or a habitat,
or a healthy-wealth intentional good-faith
active hope
interdependently webbing community,
is informed by our transubstantiated history
of co-acclimating reunion experiences,
mental and physical,
spiritual and natural

EarthTribe egos
adopting Earth-transformative healthing souls/soils,
DNA adaptive across regenerational wealth,
non-sectarian holonic habitats,
non-dualistic,
non-violently interdependent,
so not just business as usual LeftBrain fragmentary,
fragmenting.

I could change my left deductive/reductive affluent mind
about co-acclimating with you
no more than change my heart’s Earth-righteously effluent content
about what is healthy
and what is diseased
for all humanity’s meaning-full healthy climates,
purposeful interdependent and fragmenting moods,
thoughts,
needs,
feelings
flowing somewhat uneasily
within our ego-contenting in-between eco-passionate
EarthJustice informed/exflowing mind.

Candle of Hope

I am in my newly adopted Green Sanctuary
enjoying our communal celebration
of all things nutritionally healthy

When the ecofeminist facilitator announces
it is now our time to light three candles of hope.

She invites our Greek chorus
to speak these candles’ brightening intention.
Various voices give shout outs of ongoing despair
for lack of healthy cooperativity growing darkly drear
competitions in Virginia
and Syria
and capital-city hysteria
nearly every Win or Lose ZeroSum place.

But,
I was thinking of shining more light on seeds of winwin hope,
Like most everything in Yes! magazine
and in Permaculture Design magazine
and in Restorative Justice
and NonViolent Communication classes everywhere.

Hope cooperatively owned and managed
universally celebrated in green businesses
and uniting household sanctuaries
and eco-villages,
good-faith intentional communities,
communions of nutritional integrity
springing up across Earth’s multiculturing planet.

Hope shouting out for creolization over colonization,
for unity over uniformity,
for freedom for active love and not just freedom from chronic fear.

Hope for lefts with rights,
for adaptive deductions with adoptive inductions,
for natural systems with spiritual networks,
for secular knowledge with sacred wisdom,
for yang with yin, and never against,
for ecofeminists with cooperative-parenting matriarchs,
for spatial now with temporal not not yet,
for universal OneZones with unitarian multi-lateral ZeroZones,
for equal dignity of egos within interdependent webs of ecohabitats.

I did not speak my active hopes aloud,
worried they might feel too aggressively intrusive,
so not even one candle is lit
for healthy compassionate climates
cooperatively impassioned hope,
for investments already planted,
growing up and out wealth
of green and black and brown and white and blue and red
and ultra-nonviolent resilience.

How will this liturgy incarnate cooperative compassion
becoming non-violently viral?
Without everyday resonations,
articulations of interdependent ego/eco-balancing,
bicamerally becoming,
pro-active shout-out Hope! impassioners.

Green sanctuary history lessons
often miss what’s going on
with other Yes! multicultures,

Miss what has gone on in non-sectarian
good-faith
green cultures,

Miss what and whom have not yet nutritionally come
within our potential 7-grain interdependent 2020 communion.

Green sanctuary celebrants
mistake our despair for WinWin opportunities missed
for candles of hope unlit
omitting interdependent risks
to celebrate more extensively
within Earth’s healthy polycultural strengths
not yet grown adoptively,
but known adaptively
within as without
one interdependent trans-generational web
of healthing wealthy life.

Populist Politics

When I was sixteen
I wanted Robert Kennedy’s popular life,
although I didn’t know about his time squandered
in staffing McCarthyism’s
Make America as Grotesque as Possible campaign,

Which would have given me pause
in that comparatively naive age
of green longing for peace
motherlands where brown and black loves matter,
regardless of gender identities.

I saw RK as a return to marketing ideas of liberating love,
cooperative Earth ownership and compassionate power-management,
constitutional principles of democratic interdependence
and extra-constitutional GoldenRule nonsectarian faith
originally established by heart-felt commitments to well-being
promoted by truly vulnerable prosperity muses,
prophets,

Leaders speaking and writing for healthy wealth
of non-violent Earth Enlightenment Eras,
later unfolding in frequent bilateral binary phases
with non-partisan WorldWide WealthWebs
of cooperative networking
for healthy vocations,
impassioned peace contentment
rediscovered inside and outside green sanctuaries.

At sixteen,
and again at sixty-four,
I longed for a Bodhisattva peace-prophet’s return
to messianically redeem history
retroactively back to our original interdependent ZeroZone
as seen through 2020 three-hundred and sixty degree revolutions
transubstantiating seasonal fractal-reasonal WinWin
wave-ranges of positive potential for energy circling democracy
bicameral left with loyal right
deductive idea predations
supporting inductive WinWin holistic positive souls.

I thought RK was cooperatively marketing compassionate green ideas
mutually held and regarded
and not so much selling out to red-blooded cults
of extraordinary WinLose ZeroSum ruthless personality.

When I was sixty-four,
watching Donald Trump and his allied predative Followers,
I thought about that earlier green Kennedy populism,
more free of Trumpian backlash against ecofeminist liberal love.

RightWing populism feels more run of the competing personality mill-storms
pumping up over-marketed under-powering fragile narcissistic egos
sold out to the biggest and baddest LoseLose lack
of Yang-strong ego ideas, cooperative thoughts
with yin’s flowing commitments toward eco-integrity
of interdependent destinies.

I suppose the popular RK would have been a more robustly WinWin President
than WinLose narcissistic populism could produce
back when cynical Richard Nixon became President.

But, the older 1960s historic frame
hopelessly obfuscates losing economic health
behind criminally losing ecological wealth.

Nixon’s cult of ego-supremacist militia personality,
marketing shameless self-worship
and his pathological lack of mindful integrity
predict Trumpian total loss of authentic transparent ego-investment
in anything more deeply patriotic
than what profiteers hope to see projected on TV
and read about in the best winner-take-and-rape-all newspapers
and glossy magazine articles of now fading Nixon infamy.

2020 revision frames bilateral candidates
for a black and/or brown green democratic ecofeminism
invested in governing with robust WinWin ideas,
cooperatively-owned GreenCommons
celebrating healthy care givers
and wealthy well-being receivers,
good faith ecological sanctuary occupiers,
civil citizens voting for health giver-balancing-receiver economic principles,
not so much violent personality Takers,
bad faith narcissists
betrayed by their/our own LoseLose political cynicism.

Green cooperative ideas
return our attention to GoldenRule
WinWin
deep ego/eco-learning constitutional centers
supporting deep learning listening children
growing up healthier in green organic families,
informed by compassion teachers and peers
green-cooperatively owning and managing Earth’s democratic energy
rooted in eco-centric ideas
and not ego-uber personality cults.

Ego/eco-balancing cooperatives
merge bicamerally polynomial-paradigmatic ZeroZones,
Tao-Gaian WholeSystem Hypotheses
of information/exfunction-flow reversion,

YangLeft with YinRight
WinWin
nutritional democratic idea optimization.

In retrospect,
perhaps I saw RK as iconic
for effectively marketing economic and politically green healthy democratic resilience
rather more cooperatively informed
than was his actual sometimes WinWin more health,
sometimes WinLose less nutrition,
actual ego/eco-conflicting intent.

My own now nearly instinctively dominant ego/eco-resonant center
recognizes LeftBrain fragmentation
of co-arising interdependent choices,
preferring interdependent phases of circular fractal waves
merging full-octave color frequencies
flinching from owning predative RightWing anger/fear intent
to be fully everyday enchanted
by Earth’s just-right cooperative inside/outside
inductive/deductive
creolizing/colonizing
eco-mindful/ego-predative
right-restorative/left-liberally loving
original WinWin co-relational freedom
to choose CoOperative ComPassion
over marketing competitive populist self-empowerment,
regardless of Earth-disempowerment consequences.

Muse of BlackHistory

Music ministry
as inviting to blues and jazz,
embracing soulful gospel
as black and brown and white multiculturally intended,
at least on MLKing SabbathDream Days,
feels not yet enough un-privileged,
increasingly side-tracked
from cooperative GreenEarth dreams reborn,
up-bearing
paid-forward into what more recent cultically degenerates
into an expanding historical commodified competition
in ego-personality marketing and idolizing worship.

Authentic WinWin non-violent singing messiahs
do not want to be WinLose competitive-ego worshiped,
misunderstood,
too easily dismissed as saints,
for the courage of their patience
with absence of cooperative interdependent resilient dreams
within solidarity of communion,
not fragmentation of originally nonsectarian
non-violent communication,
with our natural-rhythmed vibrating voices
and our bilateral hands and feet.

MLK’s
and Gandhi’s
and perhaps Jesus of Nazareth’s
and LaoTse’s
and Buddha’s
and Gaia’s music and resistance dance
and storytelling muses of music history
exalt our cooperative harmonies of wisdom,
non-violent everyday enchanting eco-villages and green meadows
investing in cooperatively self/other-owned economies,
compassionate interelationships of soulful co-passions,
good-news rhythms,
harmonic patterns of cooperatively-held historic resonant redemption
for depressed
and suppressed
and oppressed,
ego personality worshipers,
seriously unimpressed power-divas,
and struggling family peace-warriors
against Win/Lose ego-mortality

With sufficient courage to speak our cooperatively-owned
and managed eco-dreams
and curiosity enough to cooperatively explore
our white-privileged anthems
of pietistic fake-prophetic sufficiency of almost uniting,
not quite universal, EarthTribe peace, blind
to further noticing current lapses
in non-violent span-historical
pan-cultural communication,
cooperative investment,
compassionate resilience
positive democracy energetic resonance

Sung,
spoken,
and non-verbally RightBrain dreamed
and WinWin Left/Right framed
for good-faith justice climates
heading back oppressive punishing crusade histories
of hating interdependent communion economies,
polyculturally nutritious sufficiency for all EarthTribe,
more powerfully resilient
than mere Win/Lose business as usual ego-marketing commerce,
mono-paternalistically distorted,
ecoYin-unbalanced
egoYang-privileged, so not healthy democratic,
growing ego-conservative marketing status, so not ecologically resonant,
not green sanctuary robust

Regardless of how large or small
that Zero ZenZone musing sanctuary
may non-violently
non-fragmentedly
non-reductively
embrace all souls
as we interdependently co-arise
great historic muses of multiculturing reality,
health of integrity,
wealth of solidarity,
cooperatively responsible resilience.

Who I Am Right Now

Who are you?
he asked perpetually, patiently
because I invited him to do so
until our time for contented me
to discover his diversely integrated/fragmented identities,
stories,
critical acting
and singing
and dancing
and warring
and terrorizing
and confronting events
right now,
and in past network iterations
and throughout future synergetic neural regenerations
of lifeline transgenerational memory.

Who are you?

I am an interdependent neural-systemic journalist,
a witness hoping to WinWin reconnect
with cooperatively invested communion ego-courage
to know and appreciate you,
your inhabited past
and echoing future
and my own best regenerative green sanctuary ego-self.

Who are you?

I am curious
about your enchantment
with interdependent neural webs
of communication,
toxic and therapeutic,
between humane capital heads,
comparing and contrasting green economic and nutritional co-investments
in democracy, not privilege,
usually cooperative,
but sometimes dissonantly suffering competing bodies
longing for relief
from EarthTribe’s WinToday to LoseTomorrow mortal enculturations,
wounding marks of perpetually anticipating tensions
about who we are
and are not yet
together.

Who are you?

I am future cooperating courage
to believe our WinWin dreams
and needs,
our hopes
co-arise positive and negative feelings
for and of, against and fleeing from,
green optimizing sanctuary communion
communities,
families,
hearts and minds
restoring polypathic neural democratic trust
communi-nonstatic
creolizing
vulcanizing resilience
between what we think and feel and resonantly say
and where we choose to use
our therapeutic hands and feet,
left dominant minds
punishing and restoring health-right holistic bodies,

Interdependent therapeutic webs
of natural body and spiritual minds
bent toward co-passionate green-means-healthy-grow relationships,
non-sectarian
non-partisan
non-violent
non-apartheid
non-privileged patience
with partial WinWin green sanctuary communions

Actively hoping for EarthTribal DNA interdependent stringing messages
within EarthPlaced integral HereNow messengers
listening, then gratefully speaking
Namaste.

Now it’s time to turn this listening/speaking table,
Who are you?

Then, for a later session,
How are we resiliently green cooperative communicators
communing communion communal
compassionate sanctuary together?

And,
please avoid terms like
communistic communalist
because that raises all sorts of toxic
anti-social isolating unkindness and impatient paranoia
and misunderstanding of original WinWin democratic motives
moving toward green social well-being prosperity,
as if liberality of love
could toxically threaten conservational green therapeutic defenses
found in robust democratic webs of deep resilience
rather than patriarchal fake-walls of privileged resistance.

Dear Ivy

Dear Ivy,

I am sorry we did not receive even just a moment to say goodbye
and thank you to each other
for all those school bus rides we took together,
you in your harness,
and me in my wonder
about what’s coming next
from your talking head
to mine.

It is time for me to move on
to another student,
but I am happy to leave you in Miss Josie’s care.

I know she will enjoy your time
invested in each other,

Listening and taking turns speaking kindly with each other,
Singing and maybe even a little dancing together,
reading and drawing as light and bumps allow.

Maybe you can teach each other
some new KnockKnock jokes.

KnockKnock.
Who’s there?
Sandi.
Sandy who?
Sandy sandwiches
are not good for you.

KnockKnock.
Who’s there?
Josie.
Josie who?
Jo see for yourself,
Open the door!

I am grateful to have so many silly and lovely memories
of you
to take with me.

And, the greatest farewell gift you could give me
is your reassurance
that these same warm and happy memories
of us
are what you will carry with you
throughout your great adventurous journey
into well-being.

Warmly yours,

Sandi

Sandi who?
Sandy snacks
are not so good for you.

Note:

My behaviorally disordered ADHD and fetal alcoholic daughter, with abandonment issues and deep-seeded food anxiety issues, suddenly lost her long-standing school bus aide, probably to compassion burn-out.  Ivy can be a profound motivator of impatience in those around her, even with deep and widely developed caregiving and receiving skills. This is the farewell that I think Ivy would have found more therapeutic than the isolating complexities of disappearance without explanation or expressed gratitude for what did co-relationally work for so long.

To be clear, not saying goodbye was an administrative decision from above; not what Ivy’s aide wanted for herself or for Ivy.

Cooperative Communion

When we communicate aggressively,
cynically narcissistic
about Earth’s WinWin historical healthy wealth, ongoing
slow-grown into our great grandchildren’s regenerative future,

We abandon globally universal passions
for mutual care-giving and receiving
ego and eco-therapeutic cooperative missions,

We do not intend for the ego-messenger
to be ignored,
emotion un-intelligently shot down
along with our LeftBrain too dominant
unilateral,
sometimes too aggressively monocultural
privileged messages.

We’re often mis-communicating mortally-wounded humans,
whose ancestors have bicamerally reproduced resilient regenerations
more than cognitively affective degenerative wounds.

Instead, intending to communicate through communion gestalts
despite flawed WinLose ego-messengers
still longing to make enthymematically nice
polypathic WinWin eco-messages,

Healthy wealth engorged,
DNA vulcanizing,
creolizing,
affluent effluent rooted Elder RightBrain stem
branching non-sectarian networks
leafing non-violent webs
budding non-competitive WinWin economies
seeding co-passionate
co-arising dipolar
Here/Now
SpaceTime ZeroZones
both resilient and resonant,
both health and wealth co-passionate messages

Paid forward
through all affluent history with effluent herstory integrity
to speak enthymematic yang-cause with yin-infective solidarity
Positive 1s co-passioning bilateral 0-Zones

Informed by Earth’s healthiest well-being
this democratic energy-balancing
emergent WinWin green integral
not merely psychological
and not unjustly eco-political day.

NonViolent Communion

A positive,
though obscure and academic
and also too multi-syllabic
way to say “non-violent communication”
which is rather like saying “non-oxymoronic”
because we are left wondering more precisely
what these terms could less aggressively not include,
is “enthymematic communication.”

Enthymematic messages
always carry positive
health-inspired,
wealth-intended
Both/And
Left with RightBrain balancing,
co-empathic co-passionate rooted
inside mood matches outside receiver’s verbal/non-verbal climate

Of multicultural polypathic resonance,
sensitivity,
solidarity with eco-receiver’s
personal/political WinWin trends,
multigenerational historic/herstoried Yang/Yin
Left liberally embodied
with ElderRight conservationally minded
DNA health/wealth traits.

So, you can see why “non-violent communication”
doesn’t quite seem to capture it’s full revolutionary
restorative justice potential
within compassionate green peace
ecological
theological
nature-spirit non-sectarian
enthymematic
polypathic
transubstantiating secular/sacred communions
for deep learning universal/unitarian
100% Zero ZenZone integrity

Of bicameral positive psychology
RealTime healthy energy democracy
for green EarthTribe non-manic sanctuary
cooperatively-owned communication potential,
voiced enthymematically
by all chirping and tweeting and surfing and swaying
and jumping and swimming
and dancing and singing
cooperative communion to-gatherers.

For Your Information

FYI: White House

FROM: Mother Earth

In case you, or anyone you know, is possibly listening,
wanted to mention,

Climate change is a catastrophic NATIONAL,
even international, DISASTER;
a poly-psychopathic source of extreme dissonance.

Anyone who knows our butts
from a BlackHole in the universe
will agree with you and me
on that singular point
legally and morally defining
a national climate of disaster,
dissonance, cognitive and affective and ineffective,
both psychologically and politically,
both realistic and effective only for feeding terror
(speaking of extensively traumatic anti-family disvalues),
shock and awe,
extreme rabidity,
manic-depression,
narcissistic anthropocentric cynicism,
Earth-matricide, etc.

Health and wealth losses due to illicit travel
over the U.S.-Mexico border:
NOT a disaster,
although probable cause for impatient patriarchal irritation
of the posterior,

No matter how many hours
or days
or weeks
or months you invest
in trial-ballooning
historical comparisons
and hysterical confusions
between authentic National Disasters
and nationalistic patriarchal concerns,
misogynistically irritating issues
about patient sufficiency of time
to feed your four to eight year politically bountiful posteriority.

Not having a physical wall
to presumably ease your narcissistic bad temper
about illicit travelers from Mexico
into the USA’s multiculturally great sacred Bounty
is also NOT a national emergency
way to respond to a NOT even close to an emergency,
more of a chronic supremacist stress syndrome.

The construction of defensive/offensive walls
is NOT an opportunity for internationally friendly investment
in wealthy resilient climate care.

Rather more of a scandalously toxic investment
in an anti-cooperative anti-environmental incorrect Wall
between what God has planted together,
North and South and Central,
red and yellow
black and white
We are precious in His 2020 sight,
so you best watch your wall-building competition steps.

Under the WinWin presumption
that violently narcissistic non-communication
was not your primary goal
when committing to invest in your current Presidential leadership role,
I would further suppose you have no interest
in casting yourself as the AntiChrist,
or ReverseBodhisattva, kind of a Badhi-unsattva Fool,
in a future Michael Moore film
about how to Make America Grotesque Again.

How do we perpetuate our neighbor’s view
that we are grotesquely ugly Americans?

Let’s build a wall,
with the ugly side facing out
and the cynical blonde and blue-eyed side facing in,
rather than our compassionate side facing out
and our more cooperative economic climate
refacing democratically universal positive energy within.
