View from a Sanctuary

He retired to his sanctuary
on the Eastern shore of the Thames River
three years ago,
an often frustrated permaculture organizer
for building cooperative social health
by creatively communicating climate wealth
growing ZeroZone positive multicultural tao-energy.

This proves reclusively frustrating
in large part because non-taoist neighbors and family
are unfamiliar with his iconic language
and green cooperative health faith
in democratic natural/spiritual
absence of violent communication
and perfect vacuum of conspiracy theory prejudice.

His RightBrain eco-centrism
LeftBrain deductive/inductive bicameral integrity search,
His bilateral historic future synergy,
trilateral energy dynamics,
quad-lateral nutrition cycles
playing virtuous WinWin health games
more than vicious WinLose capitalistic
dualistic WinLose ZeroSum theories
growing internal spirit against external nature,
personal against political,
ego against eco-therapeutic competitions
which could become cooperative constituents
with secular/sacred longings for love
as red sky morning warnings
greet coral sky dusk.

Love growing boisterously loud
contagious
courageous
curious grace
meeting hearts this day bilateral
greeting hearts this night bicameral
dreaming meeting hearts tomorrow multilateral
beating integrity hearts bicameral
this tomorrow’s integral night
absorbing ultra-violet sight.

His new home lies on the Thames River
flowing between Norwich,
former blue heron sanctuary
giving life and feeding Old Green EarthTribes
watering downriver to reforest New London’s community gardens,
cooperative artisans,
green motherland trusters,
Black ProLives Matter Allies,
United MultiCultural Green Ethicists,
coastal bands,
liturgical dancers,
fire-circle story-tellers and peace activists,
restorative EarthJustice advocates.

He has been humbled by crippling Norwich need
for more nutritious green blue heron spaces
and street entertainers
gardeners repurposing public spaces
dancing nutritional arts
and ecovillage well-schooled sciences

And has experienced rebirth
in New London green parties
hosting organic legions of multicultural youth leaders
struggling with recreating non-violent communications
supporting a cooperative casino potlatch economy
re-investing in Thames River CoOperative Enterprises.

This WiseElder hears his River flowing land-trust neighbor
refer to herself
in ultra-violet starlit language
transporting Old Green EarthTribe’s Main Street
for historically cooperative constitutions
incorporating permaculturing development
of polycultural songs
sung by polypathic tidal waters
competing up and cooperating down

Reflecting crystal star light
throughout effluent non-violent nights
remembering
reweaving
dancing sunlight therapeutic days
when love beats love,
beauty meets beauty,
trust invites trust,
faith predicts faith,
hope omits fear.

This Green EarthTribe River feels familiar
growing up in an extended farm family
still pushing and pulling out WiseElders
exploring cooperative ecopolitical climates
restoring peaceful organic forests
tree-lined nutritional MainStreet Rivers
surrounded by surprisingly self-managed meadows,
healthy ego ecosystems
inhabited by wealthy cooperative EarthTribe memories
transubstantiating constitutional healthy non-violent communions
indigenous with colonial
wildly democratic and yet conservatively explosive

Evolution glowing in a revolutionary erection.

Avoiding the Boogy Man

A strong cooperative offense
is our most competitive defense.

Avoiding RightRed fascism
totalitarianism
terrorism, dark secular raptures and/or terrified jihad,
fundamental Nature is sinful, negative yin repressed,
while Spirit is health invested love, positive yang,
long-term ego/eco-centric,
bilateral co-temporal,
evenly humored humanistic divinalism.

By choosing divining higher
and humanely deeper
GreenLeft/RedRight co-regenerativity
strengthening LeftBrain’s historic secular case
for more cooperative climate cleansing
by divesting of RedRight’s competing disassociating divestment
away from

Divine/Humane WinWin MultiCulturing Holy Spirit
cooperative matriarchal/patriarchal outflowing natural
ZeroZone soulful

Red light of dawning memories
co-invite Earth’s Green reforesting vocation
in 4D bilateral Left/Right positive energy
democratic-trusting frame
dynamically parallel bicamerality
with resilient fractal string-structures of humane DNA
and divine RNA theological Origin
and 4-ecological ZeroZone Seasons
with 4-theological nurturing Reasons
for romantic infatuation
with Eastern outside red dawns
of post-millennial inside climate warning
and
Western indigenous Earth and tree

and Extended sanctuary family
nature/spirit worshipers,

designing and implementing ecologists,
creation and degeneration processors,
deep learning ecotherapeutic theologians
story-tellers of legends
sweeping cooperative neighborhoods
greeting travelers,
sojourners,
fellow walking
and flying
and swimming
and crawling eco-pilgrims

Liberally green
and conservational red night lovers,
swimmer’s cooperatively mentored delight
avoiding tomorrow’s nationalistic
ego-theistic
utterly narcissistic

Green Grows NotYet UltraViolet

Sometimes Left equals Right,
like day equivocates night,
wondrously but rarely,
awesomely, because almost never,
like a fully mysterious solar eclipse,
revolutionary, because not slow-grown evolutionary,
the Earth says Hello!

Personally and politically,
romantically and academically,
lovingly and yet wisely prudent,
economically with ecologically empowering light.

But, usually
historically
multiculturally
polypathically
ecotherapeutically
Business as Cooperatively
not capitalistically uberYanged,
more like a healthy ecoforest
and not so much an evangelical colony
of nationalistic supremacy
shouting No! God Owns You!
You owe God allegiance
as we have made God in our most patriotic patriarchal
LeftBrain punishing voice
for retributive cultural RightWing vengeance!

Marginal remainders refine LeftBrain analysis
to hear echoes of Not Yet,
perhaps not even in this enraptured egocentric lifetime

Too BusinessAsUsual seldom
we also hear RightBrain passion
belonging songs of ecotherapeutic outside voices
speaking sacred whispers, chirps, scolds, surf, winds
of all past and future
Advents

Predicting and threatening 2020
revolutionary Yes! Here is Now
Space is TimeSquared consciousness
Yang is Yin 4D temporal flow
PolyNomial is PolyPhonic language
seasonal rhythm experience

EcoResilient politics of YesPower
is also EgoResonant Theology
of +1 = (-,-)0 PolyPathic BiCameral Revolutions
for Yes! = NotNot Yet
unto healthy perpetuity…

Some good morning StarShines,
this GreenBlue Earth echoes
and cheers
ultra non-violent Hello!

Climaxing 2020 healthy wealth time
with organically enlightening
romantic bodies
of patriarchal historical evolutions
within matriarchally musical revolving revolutions.

Literature Standards

My standard for literature,
whether romantic
or academically sobering,
and preferably some hybrid in-between,

Literature teaches me
something I had not previously known,
but somehow felt,
about myself.

Even better,
also teaching me something new
about logos life on Earth

And mythic even better,
also teaching me something long implicitly precedented
about loving life
within revolving frames
of evolution’s flaming
and quiet shaming
history.

Rooted Thesis

I have been reading a rootless thesis:
Lack of commitment to a permanent home
causes depression,
over-commitment to inside claustrophobic voices,
failing immune systems,
obesity,
disassociation,
fear of outdoor climate pathologies,
infestations
alien predators
threats to our own ongoing ecopolitical empowerment
too competitively overwhelming
to ever get unstuck
from relentless ruminations
representing financial survival issues,
arguments,
tensions about paying electric bills,
oil bills,
gas bills,
or WWW perpetual connectivity bills
or pepperoni pizza delivery bills
surviving on plastic credit deficit spending
without balancing dollar bills,

Paying interest extortion
to financial institution extractors
buying hedge funds
against defaulting mutually ecological health systems
denuded by industries
stripping forests and swamps,
marketing automated rifles to young adults
and middle-aged LoseCash/LoseFace suboptimizing pessimists
betting against their own grandchildren
with green visions for WinWin extending family rootedness,
meaningfulness
in this historical place
unfolding from great deep learning depths
before and after which WiseElders cannot speak

While reading a rootless thesis
that lack of commitment to rooted historical home
causes MotherEarth’s depressive climate
oppressing RightWing weather,
suppressing cooperative-rooted meaning,
repressing rootlessness wild
as compared to superlative WinWin love
knowing this HereNow rooted SpaceTime
primal ZeroZone relationship,
ultra-violet octaved light culture,
ecofeminist with ego-sacred patriarchal matriarch
Earth with SunLight
Yin with Yang

Cytosine-squared Uracil

Together,

Lack of permanent commitment
to ego-centric home
causes ultra-violent anti-green depression,

LoseLose undeniability
of healthy futures

EarthMother Gets Riled

I fear Earth Goddess has something rather unkind to say
about RightWing patriarchal
pretensions oligarchical,

Which begins with N,
and ends with R,
and in-between fills out with Eve

Never attracted to bipolar conflicting reductive rabid climates,
deductively isolated singularities,
autonomous RightWing atom-ants,
of relentless
supremacy over-ambitious
labels covering orthodox experience
with mindless god/slave fantasies
about sluts
and codependent escorts
to and for eternal jihad paradise
distinguishing only One truly sacred thing, Ego,
from all other things
more secular,
merely natural,
unredeemed,
not yet needed
so of no immediate use,
appropriate to throw away
as more or less
collateral life-love damage.

EarthMother feels and flows positive integrity
yet silent correlationally related
between RightWing multiculturally nutrition-balanced wealth budgets
and LeftWing ecofeminist health-nuts,
WinWin damaged and threatened,
yet still cooperating with mutual dipolar nature/spirit co-arisings
of inducted ultra-violet integrity intuitions,
natural ecological relationship is not not spiritually theological
double-binding green invitations to ultra non-violent integrity
of octaved waves
of full-spectrum enlightenment
dual-dark bicameral
surfing natural/spiritual
internal/external dichotomous health climates
transubstantiating correlational secular tables with sacred trends

Distinguishing One ZeroZone Becoming Out
with all other internally natural eco-humane revolutions before
HereNow SpaceTime
evolving Zeroistic future Universal WinWin
EarthTribe nurturing eco-consciousness,

GreenGoddess within EarthMother Systems
ultra-violet wombs
as warm Uracil networking
wet with absorbing bilateral Cytosine,

Mountains
in-between Valleys,

Rhythms
between co-relational Patterns,

Beats
between silent NotYets,

Ones
between dipolar ZeroZones,

Slashes
between empty Circles,

Forward
between notnot BackwardNow,

Convex
between notnot Concaving

HereNow
dipolar TaoTime

BiLateral Relationship
primal ZeroZones
in-between Not and Yet

I still think EarthGoddess
has something to say,
sorta mean,
about RightWing patriarchal supremacy
like LeftBrain historical/cultural dominance,
bullying by stealing from vulnerable future generations
before they even have opportunity
to become healthy matriarchal born
into wealthy cooperative health and climate-care
transubstantiating EnergyDemocracy networks,
as of orthodoxically Olde Nature/Spirit Enchantments

EarthGoddess
absorbing just-right
sometimes romantic
sometimes erotic
usually agapic,
never counter-revolutionary disruptive,

Viciously Virtuous Cycles

Like cooperatives explicitly known
and felt,
most virtuous circle systems
love meaningful ecological theology,
a WinWin reiteratively continuous choice
grows political democratic
tit=tat resilience into multicultural perpetuity,
whether virtuous ego inside
and/or eco-habitat therapeutic outside.

Like implicit competitions,
not not corollaries make most vicious
LoseLose degenerative non-choices toward WinWin,
prejudicial leaning toward
inside ego-economic priority
over outside green theological opportunity,
continues stuck in pathological violent nihilism,
dissonant absence of resilience,
ego-inside rabid
as climate pathological revenge,
for anti-ecological LoseLose reactionary ecopolitical choices
militaristic
growing short-tempered mendaciously rabid
LeftBrain dominant expedience

Secular vicious cycles
pursue wealthy growth
to autonomously achieve fleeting desperate health,
before deficit played-out absence
of further future expiration dates
predicting Earth’s pulselessness–
attenuated rootlessness

Sacred virtuous long-rooted recyclers
pursue ecotherapeutic healthy memories
of more nutritiously wealthy forests,
wild undomesticated RightBrain sacred spaces

To cooperatively achieve resiliently balanced
multicultural theology of meaning
ego-green wealth
pursuing ultra-nonviolent Tit health
for ultra-violet Tattling wealth…

Long-term cooperative virtues
absorbing short-term viciousness

EcoTherapy
absorbing EgoRabid Virality

Integrity
absorbing Dementia

Yin
absorbing Yang

Like cooperative cytosine
absorbing autonomous uracil.

Doing Church

Church is usually a noun
for a sanctuary becoming place

But, both church and sanctuary
are scripturally more about revolutionary verbs.

Countering capital-consumer culture
Churching
giving and receiving healthy cooperatively-owned sanctuary
are what good news faith communities do
to earn a reputation
for wealth of love,
gratitude for more hope-filled futures
together,
more than autonomously apart.

Synergetically giving and receiving sanctuary
cannot be done with both integrity
and contempt,
And can be optimized with both gratitude for error
and terrifying opportunities
to fast-extend hopeful compassion,
a positive energy democratic crisis
seeking immediate through long-term
WinWin polypathic outcomes.

Recent choices of a good health sanctuary movement
look back to November of 2016 in the U.S.
and to RightWing fear-mongering plutocratic contests
throughout Earth’s non-violent health-sanctuaries,
lower inclusive standards of liberal ultra-violet integrity
to love each Other,
healthy and not so much
just yet.

Health care exercises active compassion
Which could not include
turning a nakedly competing corporate emperor
into the Nakedly Competing International Emperor
presiding over entitled epi-ego-idolatry centers
conservatively loathing liberal sanctuary movements,
villages,
communities,
extended loving families
of nature/spirits.

Compassion for Naked Emperors
and for our own competing anti-sanctuary ways
invites each green therapeutic vocational call
to re-invest
re-imagine
re-hope for gratefully resilient sanctuary becoming
doing what we still can
integrating active resonant economic hope
with therapeutic ecological purpose
meaning
polypathic ethology
sacred secularity
systematic WinWin theology
of liberating
healthy
resilient
integral love churching
growing greener sanctuaries.

Love is Healthy

“Give up all hope
for a better [healthier] past.”
Bumper Sticker, on way to church

“Give up no gratitude
discovering a better [healthier] future.”
Homily at Churching Hope Together

“Love [health] is all there is.”
The Beatles

“God [Health] is love.
The Bible

Because anger jumps out upon us
rooted in past images
perpetrating, and yet also victimized by, competing oppression,

Because fear lurks before us
as victims losing bad faith competitions
between LeftBrain expedience
and RightBrain ecological
and theological
prime [health] relational wisdom.

Love is all there is
in each here and now
gratitude for past health,
wherever we can cooperatively re-imagine it,
and hope for future wealth
where we can, together,
enchant light more

To disenchant less fear-mongering
and angry-consuming management
marketed, less effectively now,
to cooperating victims and perpetrators
of past and future climate sabotage

A most unhealthy climate,
inside and out,
to continue dissonantly Occupying,
especially when healthy cooperative climates
are already WinWin Occupying
trusted trusting HereNow hands
and hearts
and feet for occupying healthier climates,
healing EcoSchool sanctuary students
longing to reforest Paradise.

Growing Grace

I can already feel some gratitude
for not having been,
being,
or ever becoming responsible
to heal everything

Casting WinWin solutions
and resolutions
in all fertile directions.

Like you,
I only get one vote.

Still, I do find some mortal hope
in one voice capacity
to mend some broken relationships,
WinLose and LoseLose
climates of relative
and complete
pathology.

I would unveil some wonder
as we cooperatively learn awesomeness
seeing
and hearing
and feeling
and knowing
and embracing multicultural difference

Here with Now co-incident Occupiers
between gratitude sanctuaries of faith
and moments of compassionate hope

Green wisdom to not become incapacitated
by monoculturing differences:

By fear of ungrateful mortality,
of capital disassociation,
of ego-annihilation;

By anger occupying Now,
my own,
and patriarchy’s,
and Earth’s everyday living
at-risk of losing cooperative
organic integrity
through unhealthy collective dementia,
hysteria,
post-Victorian melancholia,
ecofeminist suppression,

Reacting against 2020 peaceful revolutions
for growing green grace,
one vote,
one voice,
in each HereNow Time.
