Singers and Dancers Needed

What to gladly sing
about our global economic politics
and socially inept monoculturing predation?
divinely self-righteous
missionary terrorist zeal
also known as religious
colonization.

Such global
and national
and local PatriarchalCapitalist
RightWing unhealthy issues

Seem to have started
sometime after we stopped
singing and dancing
together

And before we began competitively speaking
and not cooperatively listening
always rhetorically against,
and never even theoretically for,
each Other

They
those separate
and really not pure patriotically
Christian evangelizing equal
non-rightwing dominant
agnostically disabled

In a neural network
somewhere
bilaterally between
wealthy multicultural engagement
and unhealthy mllitarized oppression,
assault rifle policing

And congressional

redblooded patriotic pictures
of families proudly erecting assault rifles
nestled between their fertile thighs
gathered round a brilliantly middle-class

whispering plastic memories

Song and tribal dance
celebrating a Win/Win messianic virgin
bearing forth a GraceFilled Prince

Polyphonic deep listening
for sacred Gaian
abundant muses
resonating panentheistic Wisdom.

While monotheistic persuasion
may be confused
with monoculturing coercion
at the end of a self-divinizing gun

And the loser end
of a capital-cultural hoarding game,

We
all hope
and body pray
and kind mind say

Genuine win/win conversion
to GoldenRule Trust
is free of win/lose persuasion
rooted in debate;
not dialogue

Resonant conversion

Communicating Gratitude

My non-communication

Resonant resilient communication

but does not suppress communion
of non-verbal health/wealth intuitions,
does not repress

Passionate gratitude
positive attitude
inspired by sacred place
of generous natural Trust
meets secular corporate time
to co-invest in ubiquitous spiritual Beauty

Communicating mindful thanks

reminds me
my “disability” labels
lie uncomfortably close
to dis-enabling resonant integrity’s

Wide passions

AMusing EarthMusic

When did music begin
for us?
For you?

When did musicians separate
from Earth’s music?

Were we thereby commodified
as professionals
instead of cooperative healers
engagers
story tellers
poets
lyricists
dancers
singers
instrumentalists
operatic staged performers,
higher and brighter
smarter and richer?

When does muse therapy end
in talent competitions?
without cooperative EarthMusic
held silently
against sacred MeWe
resonating indigenous wisdom

Muse/Music

CoPassioned EcoResonant
bicameral cooperative consciousness.

When
and how
and why
does music renew

When does sacred music

and dissonantly

traumatically
degeneratively end
warm

Could music have begun
long before we found
a name for amuse?

Where do sacred muses begin resonating?
Anticipating harmonic echoing
reverberating silence
sourced from deep resonant respect
for shared regenerative potential
win/win anticipating
coupling
recoupling
climaxing
amusing musicians

Yet also decoupling
from actively hoping
co-passionately

Indigenously healthy

Integrity’s therapeutic transparent
and sacredly vulnerable

and enlightening Right
co-passionately multi-regenerational

Health muse Voices

The practice of Earth’s integrity
is resiliently therapeutic;
The praxis of cooperative therapy
is resonantly integral.

Might Be An Isn’t

So,
she autistically
and powerfully
said,

One me
plus one you
makes two

And we two
minus one me
leaves you one

Which feels like not
quite enough
for ego sufficiency

But one whole lot more
than zero deficiency

Because Dr. Seuss sings
of zero BirthDay rings
and EndDaze spirited non-things

“If we didn’t have birthdays,
you wouldn’t be you.
If you’d never been born,
well then what would you do?…

Why you might be a WASN’T!
A Wasn’t has no fun at all.
No, [s]he doesn’t.
A Wasn’t just isn’t.
[S]he just isn’t present.
But you…You ARE YOU!
And,
now isn’t that pleasant!…

If you’d never been born,
then you might be an ISN’T!
An Isn’t has no fun at all.
No [s]he disn’t.
[S]he never has birthdays,
and that isn’t pleasant.
You have to be born,
or you don’t get a present.”

And sacred co-prescience

One me
plus one you
makes two,
and now
aren’t we pleasant
co-present?

Note: Dr. Seuss quotes are from “Happy Birthday To You!”, 1959, when I was celebrating seven sacred birthdays.

Sublime Oppressions

When “oppressive”
becomes synonymous with “government”
and when “government”
becomes synonymous with “bureaucracy”

Then “oppressive government bureaucracy”
sounds like a redundant bad-boy platitude,
ungrateful anthro-
elitist attitude,
absence of relationships
for which I might feel
non-egged on
and non-eggheaded
regular
everyday
humane/divine
peace mindfull
gratitude.

While “enlightened government bureaucracy”
now sounds like a sarcastic oxymoron
spreading virally
from Red
to Blue
to wondering about Green

Cooperatives–
more empowering?
kinda ecofeminist,
instead of
patrilinearly
win v lose
predative capital-headed
commodifications
judgments
financial evaluations,
deductive causes
v. inductive affectiveness,

Which brings us back to RedMeat
reactionary
RightWing
White Nationalistic Supreme MonoTheistic
rumored sanctuaries from geoclimatically catostrophic absence of health
or wealth
or bipartisan wisdom

And bicameral dialectical win/win
strategically cooperative EarthJustice

through ReGenerative EarthDesign

Which seems to inconveniently
include some traumatically epic purpose
for heavy-handed
RightWing
StraightWhite Privileged
Patriarchal-Capitalist
MonoCulturally Predative,
Cancel PolyPhonically Healthy
EcoWomanist Wealthy Multiculturalists

Are winning inner/inter-peace battles

against our own grandchildren’s universal sacred health
and unitarian safe

Ever since

A tradition much older
than when “oppressive”

when inner/inter “trust co-government”
becomes bicamerally reunited with
“nonviolent healthcare systems.”

Solstice Solidarity

In the beginning

As we cooperatively push our babies forward
in silent carriages of active hope
to resist a dispassion climate

deadly stillborn

Wherein all that remains

coldly witnessing
no angels singing

Now, this day,
still seeking and finding here

Pandemonic Hope

“I believe in the sun
even when it is not shining”

I remember someone recently resaying
what has long lain unsaid
inside my paradoxical head,

When asked if I believe in God,
I don’t know what to say.

I might not believe in your God,
at least on my worst
pain-darkened day.

And,
I seem to believe in my own
only in those rare rain-free moments
healthy ego- and eco-gratifying

When I am having a climax heart
and head
song
and dance remembering
re-ligioning
reconnecting EarthMoment

Shared with at least one Other,
perhaps for our first through last time
in this
our day of sacred synergy

Sustaining
surrounding
celebrating a yellow morning
mellow sunrise
promising this wealthy day
without soggy rain

As we prepare to health harvest
warmly fragrant sun-dried hay
I quietly say

So, there is a God,
after all.

“And I believe in love
even when there’s no one there.
And I believe in God
even when he is silent.”

These two additional beliefs
feel like one Relief Belief
to my bicameral head choice
and heart voice.

For it has often been said
and felt
that God is love

Especially when
Matriotic HolySpirit of Love
doesn’t act like a Patriarchal Fool

And, by that,
I reference my own sociopathology
of privileged entitlement
monoculturally over-invested
in capitalist Straight
White
Earth Predations
Colonizations
Extractions
Rapaciousness

But,
my most courageous inscriptions
of whispering hope
often not felt enough
sacredly chosen silence
in spaces between
my LeftBrain dominant
distracting notes

Where my own AnthroSupremacism
falls vibrantly listening
to responsively hear
Elder MotherTrees
sigh
and breeze

Silently praying
for strong rooted
cooperative integrity

Within this organic Green Communion
forest of hands on
generating regenerous Hope.

Note:

Pandemonic Hope is part of a series of theological reflections offered to and from the All Souls Unitarian-Universalist Choir in New London, Connecticut. 

“Inscription of Hope” was composed for the Nebraska Choral Arts Society and Children’s Chorus by Z. Randall Stroope, in conversation with a Russian Folk Tune.  His lyrics are drawn from an inscription on cellar walls hiding Jews in Cologne, Germany, during World War II. Stroope’s own 1994 reflection on the significance of these words, in this Holocaust pandemonic context, “Hope was all they had to hold on to; hope was their only bridge to a brighter [nonviolently restoring justice] tomorrow.”
