Stop Pretending

Stop pretending
your racism is patriotism

Stop pretending
your sexism is natural

Stop pretending
your homophobia
is healthy heterosexuality

Stop pretending
your evangelical orthodoxy
isn’t xenophobia

Stop pretending
your traumatic patriarchalism
doesn’t justify
and sanctify
therapeutic womanism

Stop pretending
your monotheism
isn’t,
once the veil of dualism is lifted,
predative anthro-supremacism.

Try remembering
that silent gifts,
like grace,
and redemption from hypocrisy,
are a lifetime healthcare process,
co-redemptive journey,
dance into integrity
compassion
pleasure
curiosity.

Muse Speaks II

This is a revised version of a piece published in a poetry anthology a few years ago. I have added an ecocide-prevention perspective to the original suicide-prevention focus.

When trauma lurks
with upper hand,
To know loss
is to fear death
of much-loved reputation
and taxing self-respect.

When therapy
lends Her feminist sway
to know
and co-invest in life
is to predict
and cherish waxing love.

For both these reasons,
we send a significantly wrong message
of blame the victim
when we post public health messages
like “Suicide is preventable”

Which is no more
or less true
than Systemic Trauma is
and is not preventable
within one anthropological
LeftBrain verbally dominant
monoculturally ecocidal lifetime,
or one healthy democratic trust relationship,
one compassionate communication PolyCulturing Story,
one encircling EnLightenMind/EmPowerBody
resiliently brilliant
resonantly elegant
polyamorous and possibly pantheistic
naked native Nature
sacred/organic
win/win narrative

Matrimonially prophesying,
When trauma lurks
with upper dissociative
and irreligiously patriarchal
right-handed fist,
To know mental depression
body-shaming repression
cognitive oppression
intuitive suppression
is to fear comprehensive
fight or flight
and critically frenzied frozen events
of neurosystemic,
and now also ecosystemic,
loss.

When therapy
lends EarthMother’s feminist sway
to know resonant win/win integrity
reconnecting healthy life’s
most resiliently wealthy impressions
is to predict patriotic trust
and matriotic safety,
animus penetrating truth
and anima receptive beauty,
expressive cognitive compassion
and impressive intuitive pleasure

Win/win thriving respite
from ego- and eco-distempered,
win/lose survivalist,
dissociatively irreligious,
RightWing dominant trauma history

To fully rekindle compassion’s
wealth embodied laughter
health mindful listening
EarthMother Muse lustery

Organic passion’s sacramental
deep erotic governing
exotically orgasmic
pleasure mystery.

RightWing Answers Without LeftWing Questions

“There ain’t no answer. There ain’t going to be any answer. There never has been an answer. That’s the answer.” Gertrude Stein

Because there ain’t no question.
There ain’t going to be any question.
There never has been a question.
That’s the question,
why isn’t that obvious?

Because there ain’t no answer.
There ain’t gonna be no answer.
Never was an answer.
That’s my answer.
Because I’m always right!

Empathy challenges grow active curiosity for asking Why.
Trust responds with mind’s open multisensory search
for understanding
Because?…

Antipathy grows WhyNot win/lose answers,
prejudiced against investing in open questions.

Deeply learned distrust responds with lose/lose anxiety,
anger,
anticipating heated discommunication–
exclusively receiving pathological answers
to questions not ecologically asked

Because positive co-relationship is not for me,
of me,
by me,
with me,
like me,
in me,
near me–
nearly universal negative assumption strings of mutual disregard,
escalating,
too often going ballistic,
immunity to open bilateral communication.

CoEmpathic love evolves body chemistry inviting Why and WhyNot.
Trust empowers receptive questions
actively hoping for resonant win/win resolving answers

Typically leading to further resilient reiterations,
refining trusted answers
to more open communing questions.

Pathological discommunication
ruminates actively distrustful feelings
provoking viciously closed
darkly unanswerable loss of desire
for sacred EarthTribe communion

Because there ain’t no question.
There ain’t going to be any question.
There never has been a question
that I am democratically left
to assume your republican right
to give self-righteous non-answers
to my actively distrusting non-questions

Just like any other dysfunctional
disintegrating couple.

And yet,
and yet
I can re-member
a preverbal indigenous wisdom
spacious time

When “In God We Trust”
respected a deeply primal
panentheistic integrity

A non-dueling sacred communion
between monotheistic SunGod’s trusted pleasure
enlightening quests
and polytheistic EarthGaian deeply co-empathic
fertile
grace-empowering
respectively responsive
inter-religious answers

In compassionately benign contrast
to a more LeftBrain/RightWing verbally dominant discommunication
like
“There ain’t no answer.
There ain’t going to be any answer.
There never has been an answer.
That’s the answer.”

Dancing While Singing

Dancing minds
free singing bodies

Dancing bodies
reserve singing minds.

Minds find faith in wealthy
blue-sky synergy
where bodies have experienced hope
for sacred EarthTribe’s
healthiest green integrity.

Whether we feel we must invest
in cooperative minds
invoking compassionate
sacred bodies

Or think we might best divest
of competitive degenerating bodies
provoking dispassionate minds

Is an unnatural “loser”
shaming invoice
leaving a still small crack
enlightening a healthier political voice
and neuro-sensexual choice
inviting wealthy spiritual rejoice

In wealthy dancing minds

conservatively enhancing

Compassion’s Braver Angels

Impressive values,
like love,
claim resources that liberally breed
ecological
natural
physically happy health
and conservatively feed
emotional
spiritual
mentally glad wealth.

Oppressive disvalues
like homophobia and racism
and sexism and ageism
and ableism
and monoculturing disregard
for threats of global anthro-supremacist ecocide,
express what we are against
because these are sources of sadness,
bad health suppressions,
sad impoverishing depressions,
even mad disrepairing
retributive repressions,
investments in revenge,
apartheid demands for militarized retribution,
negative win/lose 0-sum
closed system reparations
repeating historical-monocultural
entrenched distrusted dissociations

Continuing viciously recycling
straight white patriarchal injustices
rather than positive win/win restorations
of positive
herstorical virtue circles,
polyculturally spacious
inclusive webs of EarthMatriarchal Peace.

The proposed 8th prime principle
does not positively promote
therapeutic justice.

Decontextualized focus on what we are against
betrays giving full mindful 4th Principle witness to
our disvalue shadows
against economically exploitive monopolies,
colonizing monocultural trauma,
white patriarchal monotheistic supremacy,
straight cisbinary monotony,
monochromatic anthroprivileged risk
overwhelming Earth’s resilient therapeutic opportunity.

Our health and environmentally safe wellness values
for compassionately mediating our 7th positive principle
breed universal health
and feed unitarian wealth
of sacred EarthMother’s unconditionally warm working web
playing interdependently win/win games
promoting resonantly sentient love lives,
resources,
seeds,
nonviolent wombs
polyculturing sacred communion

Like 8th Principle sperm
universally purposed
to conjoin EarthTribe’s unitarian
green/blue 7th Principle egg.

Our 7th Principle declares our positive joy
for healthy natural life
and wealthy spiritual love
embedded in sacred EarthMother’s empowering web
valuing co-invested AnthroPeace Warriors
co-infested Muses
co-passionate Sages.

Do we need and want an 8th Principle
taking a bold
unprecedented
revolutionary further step
to explicitly articulate what we actively disvalue
as the ecological antithesis
of Earth’s sacred systemic 7th Principle
of a polyculturally inclusive EarthTribe
restoring our sacred green/blue indigenous communion?

I believe our positive principles
of therapeutic health,
happiness,
empowering a wealthy sacred win/win web of polycultural beauty,
enlightened Earth/Anthro balance,
grows non-violently profound neurosystemic peace,
culminating in peak experiences
of our most recent 7th Principle.

And I believe in the synergetic completion
of perfectly pitched 8 octaves
for articulating MuseTherapy Resilience.

When the first photograph
of Earth’s revolving
green-blue living egg-womb
was broadcast back to Earth,
anthro-privilege could physically see Her
sacred healthy wealth
of profound eco-political value,
in Her health-wealthy prime
7th unitarian value
of PolyCultural Communion.

Now, in this new post-millennial Anthropocene,
we already begin to feel threats
of EarthSystemic oppression,
neurosystemic chronic trauma,
EarthTribe depression,
anxiety,
onset of anthrosupremacist remorse,
rabidly defensive denial
of rapaciously incorporated overpopulation,
despair that Win Universal Earth
and Win Unitarian Anthro healthy 7th Principle Consciousness
of herstorically positive indigenous intent
for whole-systemic thrival
too quickly fades,
foreshadowing today’s 8th Principle dispassionate discernment.

If we would dismantle sacred Earth’s historical-monocultural
systemic trauma Oppressors
of organic regenerators
recreating love-life’s multigenerational
PolyCultural Communion,
Then we might choose to restore 7th Principle EarthJustice
by letting go of less resilient
traditional win/lose anthrosupremacist images
breeding neurosystemic dissociation
and feeding toxic disvalues
of patriarchal monotheistic colonization,
monoculturing cisbinary predation,
capital economic monopolization
of therapeutic EarthMother sacred healing values
choosing regeneratively felt win/win
universally open, transparent
and unitarian holistic, vulnerable
ecotherapeutic webbed, nonjudging
nonblaming
nonshaming systems
for restoring PolyCulturing Communion

Thereby dismantling 8th negative anti-trauma disvalues
confronting Anthropocene privileged systems
of history’s monotheistic imaged
patriarchal natural capitalistic maninfested destiny,
a win/lose devolutionary privileged assault
and dispassionate battery
overpowering EarthTribe’s restorative peace
ecotherapeutic resources.

Can Earth’s monotheistic major force
of retributive injustice nature
grieve
and repent
and commit to restore
7th Principle panentheistic wisdom peace
for this,
and the next 7 sacred millennia?

Bicamerally indigenous compassionate minds
want wealth conserving hearts
and need health liberating bodies
to wisely know
life-loving
neurosystemically intelligent
Win/Win 7th Principle
therapeutic opportunities
for EarthTribe sacred healing
AND Monoculturing AnthroSupremacist
Win/Lose 8th Principle
trauma warnings
against further EarthMother dissociative harm

Against impressive values,
reconnecting love,
reclaiming 7th Principle resources
that liberally breed
ecological
natural
physically happy health
and conservatively feed
emotional resonance
spiritual resilience,
mentally glad wealth.

Speaking From Felt Experience

Enjoying Earth’s promised land
of compassionate
multicultural communion,
we share a preference for deep
rich soil
and fertile green-blue
resonating surf

As our bodies adjust
to rocky and prickly
either me
or not me space

And our minds flow
back and forth
through gooey both “me”
and organic neurosensory “we”
peace searching times
of glad/bad memory,
healthy peak and unwealthy valley
remembering felt body trauma
and mindfully resilient therapies

Inhaling Earth’s past sacred unions
Exhaling into conjoined future
compassionate communion.

These reflections came to mind
this morning
as I recalled a recent clergy question:

“What did you FEEL
when you first read
this proposal for a change
in our corporate
orthodox
Universal Salvific
and Unitarian CoRedemptive
liberated feminist tradition.”

I remember listening for neuro-sensexually
enlightened language
for distinguishing core
empowered/disempowered Feelings
primally limited to:

Glad-anticipating win/win peak mind/body experiences
Bad-anxious about lose/lose dualdark valley experiences
Sad-depressed about my own win/lose long-term chances
Mad-about suppressed short-term survival
odds against overpowering PatriarchalGod’s
timeless dispassion.

My gladness trying to thrive
despite an unholy trinity
responding to trauma history
of multigenerational peak/valley surfing
change

Transitions
in glad health opportunities
reforming bad unease
sad disease
mad missing ease
invoking dissociative
neuro-sensexual despair
informing future opportunities
for compassionate repair.

Out of twenty
LeftBrain verbal dominant responses
to this spirited natural feelings question,
only two mentioned feelings
underlying
predicting positive
and negative
and ambivalent thoughts.

One said both glad about opportunity
for deep communal dialogue
and sad about lowly lay victims
speaking against too powerful and unenlightened
religious professional orchestrations

Us v them rhetoric
creating a polarizing culture
of win/lose
0-sum
closed-off
competitive
destabilizing trauma

Lack of EarthPeace
and Restorative Justice
in the deep rich soil
and fertile green-blue surf
of nature-spirited communion
opportunities for peak dialogical experiences
of LeftMind/RightBody
enlightened/empowering
FatherSun/MotherEarth co-passionate
revival.

Another wise woman elder responded
with “confused”
which encompasses,
without resonantly resolving,
all of Glad and Bad
Sad and Mad
chaotic flowing mind
feeling toxically disembodied
from sacred healing peace
restoring EarthTribe Justice
co-passionate mission statements
EarthTribe healing vocations.

What no one said
was “compassion”
for the romantic-comedy of peak experienced Glad
and the traumatic-tragedy of dark valley experienced
Bad’s
short-term Mad
and long-term chronic Sad
Lose/Lose absence
of healthy
enlightened
messianic minds

Surfing through empowered
co-redemptive neurosensory
bodhisattva bodies
of spiritual/natural
mental/physical
co-passionate communicators

Win/win naturally resilient
co-mediating spiritual practicers
rooted in peak experiences
of comprehensive synergetic feelings
more resiliently Glad
than dispassionately Bad

Speaking our restorative justice
free and co-responsive win/win
searching truths
to patriarchal/capitalist
win/lose systemic trauma.
