Listening for Small Voices

Listen…
Can you hear these silently listening voices too?

Listening souls
old and yet not born
inside
outside resounding Earth’s fertile proclamations

Present voices
remembered from communal past choices
personal, yet political,
economic,
yet ecological

Waiting for health,
usually patient,
underneath domestic inside sounds:
music
quiet steps
graceful and shuffling

Behind the running furnace,
refrigerator,
electric lights murmuring,
timers of more important waiting, then ringing, alarmed

All souls listening
before yet born
through long long gone before
and after timeless omnipresent now

Patient for our notice
for their turn
in communion’s recycling microphone
outside life’s active memory
of voices kind
generous as MotherTrees
nurturing nutrition
welcoming

A few more impatient
judgmental
disassociating
yet loyal
concerned
challenging
caustic
toxic angers
fears
festering hatreds
spoiling hope for quick and cheap consensus

Yet invested, infested
all
together
in health listening
here
now
in this healing soul place
this communion’s speaking time
for hearing
sharing
baring
wearing
caring
daring
occasionally too blaring
voices seeking harmonies
across space
in this well souled healing time.

Listen…
Can you hear them singing
ringing too?

This AllSouls Choir
speaking sacred sounds
of secular past
predicting holy futures

Listening together
for what we have become
and to whom we hope to hear
together

Listen,
can you hear AllSoul voices too?

Hopeful
Faithful
Love
speaking graceful undertones
background sounds, tunes
waiting
acting
performing
adoring
declaring
marrying
divorcing
remorsing
amusing Voices listening
while others speak
Peak
then fade
shade
shadow

Souls listening yet
and not yet

Listening…
Can you hear us revolving too?
Spinning from non-sectarian here
toward sacred there…

Listening
for our anthem’s well-souled turn
to give good and proper verse
voice
choice
to listen again
still
not yet
not yet quite fully heard

All souls listening
almost
together

Again
can you hear us
large and small
close and distant?

Poured out
self-anointed
too late for shy doubt,
all viral souls

Listening, at last,
to hear you too
at fullest blast.

Blind Faith isn’t such Good Faith

Tolerance of differences
quietly lies between passive-aggressive anger,
then fear,
then active hatred,
And all the way on up to enchanting positive awe,
and then ecstatically cooperative wonder,
and then sacred multiculturing,
creolizing,
transubstantiating communion
of whole synergetic multilateral systems.

Neutral heuristic faith in Golden Rules and Ratios–
despite past warring differences,
chaotic oppositions of power
and complex appositions of potential integrity–
Lies between blind LeftBrain degenerating faith
then apathy
lapsing toward manic paranoia,
And all the way back to RightBrain with newer LeftBrain co-enchantment,
cooperatively ecstatic wonder
and then sacred Eastern nondual communion
with active Western secular non-violent ecological relationships
promoting global DNA nutrition
as communal multicultural wealth
through cooperative WinWin economic/ecological harmonies–
efficiencies short through long-term positive
with effective whole-system eco-relationality.

Gospel faith
is substance of relational things yet unseen
yet also actively hoped for,
advocated with new nutritional eyes and solidarity ears.
Good multiculturing faith is not violent bad monoculturing faithlessness,
nor blind and at-war faith
because healthy positive hopes
values
norms
ethical nurturing systems of life, not death,
are not blind
but inherited healthy v pathological sight

Back through all past DNA fertility strings
of historically regenerative
polypathic love,
grace,
cooperatively-owned EarthKarma,

EarthTribe’s future green communion,
EarthJustice of past unseen ultra-nonviolent communication choices,
personal and politically not so entirely blind,
longing to restore good and tasty 2020 democratic trust.

Mechanical Flies in Organic HealthSystems

In Systems Theory
there hides a transparent bias toward positively resilient systems

And there hides an unfortunate bias toward magically created
mechanistic systems

Competing in hierarchical global networks
empowered from sublime Above
and from Outside
domination by missionary zealous soldiers,
LeftBrain elitist owners
and their diabolical industrialized worker flies,

Including a few elite wiser and smarter predative inventors
of ever-better and faster and convenience-enhancing mechanical systems
for burning limitless positive energy
to worship on the alter of business-like industry;

Unlike synergetically balancing Earth,
our intellectual WholeSystem integrity-balance exemplar,

Earth icon of organic superego
cooperatively self-governing good healthy climates–
sacredly interdependent systems,

Heard and health-watched and wealth-languaged
back in animistic days
of humane/divine nature-spirit nondualistic philosophy-religion,
spiritual-natural extended family trust relationships

Suffering from loud nightmares
prophesying and professing future awe-enlightening
mechanistic Rapture harvests
of all unripe ego eggs
still unworthy of full competitive life,

Distracted by disassociated threats,
by pathologically non-performing autonomous Fail-systems
headed terrified away to Lose economic thunder
and Lose empowering potential integrity
and Lose ecological trust relationships
and Lose theological opportunities for future communion
and Lose natural spirit synergy,
and Lose spiritually deadening nature v spirit subclimates,
absence of environmentally re-empowering karma.

Secular commodified mechanical systems
become distracted by graceful
truthful
trusting
integral animistic love,
healthy active WinEarth to WinEgo positive outcome trajectories
for one globally healthy
organic
permaculturing system
Restoring polypathic justice
to divinely humane ZeroZone SystemSouls,

Reweaving formative forests and rivers and oceans
into re-connecting green EarthMother,
healthy Gaian EcoSystem
and Her season-fractal subsystemic
non-mechanical climate healers
of organic growth
and resilient
polypathic
healthy wealth development.

Complex Variations on a Health Theme

Ecologically resilient health
and WinWin spiritual-economic development
and biologically transforming nature,

Combined with reflection
deflection
inflection of our personal
and economic
and political health v pathology experiences,

Recouple complex metaphors
of green commonsense
inviting a resilient ZeroZenZone case
for health benefits
of planting and harvesting basic humane-divine communion values.

Health allegories and gospel wealth parables
need not autonomously rely on sacred principles
equating blind faith with good faith.

Reassociating non-sectarian positive faith
with active sectarian research for healthy development
of significant positive and negative correlating trends,
appositions and oppositions,
invite regenerative climate healing
especially for remaining secular dominant sceptics,
anti-sectarian nihilists,
LoseSacred and LoseSecular paranoid sociopathologists,
conspiracy theorists,
God is an AngryWhiteWesternMan wounded children
and our fundamentally mistaken keepers,
zealous nature v spirit terrorists,
anti-theological bullies,
healthy climate haters, deniers, fear-mongerers,
self-righteous war marketers and managers and magnates and magnets

Dismissing lists of positive health values
like smiling
and kindness
as weak love tools
for marginalized tender trans- and pangenders
and cooperatively misguided souls.

Sublime Loneliness

When Yang-strong Egos
like a great FirstWorld nation,
or an ecologically robust multiculturing community,
or a theologically resilient
good faith
polypathic sacred communion,
or a democratically healthy
cooperatively owned
and polyculturally managed corporation
regenerately restore DNA-structured 8-fold universes
transubstantiating fertile infinity becoming resonantly wealthy,

Then Earth’s nutritional YinFlow stage-theories
reiterate polypathic cognitive integrity
of original paradigmatic ZeroZone reweaving
for regenerating healthy blood within as wealthy words without,
yin as robustly effluent yang

RightSoul as LeftNature
convexly re-associating secular investments re-invite sacred natural history
embodied teachers and preachers, yet often deductively homeless
bicameral Right, lonely, seeing inter-relating ZeroSouls
concavely sacred eco-powering Ego’s belonging
among reweaving ancient childhood companions,
cognitive re-creating images
re-connecting thoughts with voices
composed of memory’s healthy v pathological
trusted v violating
homeless ZeroZone feelings
emerging from gracious laughing WiseElder choices

ReLearning non-sectarian life
as resilient journey
reconnecting sacred love’s non-violent bottom-line standards
inviting eternal homeless fluid moments
infinite ultra-nonviolet
in-between Ego’s self-conscious TaoTime
co-arising lonely co-incident identities
co-empathic
co-present

Yet mutually blind without emotive belonging,
lack of post-millennial WinWin experience
inside/outside
sacred/secular bilaterally lonely
divine/humane voiceless polypathic grace.

Advent of Climate Depression

After required Thanksgiving Day
and depressing night
I awoke surprised
by release into ego-homelessness.

What could sad night despairs mean?
Reiterating loss of identity
mysteriously appearing on this habitat’s coldly absent roof
of sacred grace
space.

Why would capital depression,
RightBrain suppression
and historic patriarchal suppression
suddenly gang up more gracefully,
less threateningly,
on ZeroZone ego-homelessness
freely chosen
before rudely thrown out
for lack of paternal place.

RightBrain fullness of soul
remains ZeroZen timeless re-identification
one empty homeless side without exterior shelter.
But, for how long could eternity reweave
temporary housed DNA souls
becoming Earth’s healthy resilient lifeline?

Advent invites homeless nurturing adventures
into matriarchal kindness, silent advances
into wildly blind blizzards
binding sun’s enchanting rainbow promise
of watery return to Earth’s temporary spring sanctuary
refueling DNA’s homeless
yet robust
absence of living boundaries

Toward, rather than against, Earth’s healthy wealth
future identity transgenerating
transubstantiating temporary sanctuary
in humane health-identity space,
Earth’s co-arising sacred time
of ego’s secular summer
for ecology’s climate climax.

Mutually homeless failing falling theology pilgrims,
EgoYang and EcoYin polypathic souls
overshadowed
by Earth’s great green sanctuary assigned
to re-study timeless regenetic root systems
playing WinWin ZeroSoul revolutionary games
for homeless trusted identity, sheltering
from wildly wounded wandering
within chronic asylum anxiety,

Lost in lonely inside forests
quaking,
outside breaking,
patriarchal fake-sanctuary voices
inside cooperative matriarchal wombing choices.

A lot of cold windy Dad talk
trumped
in each infant WinWin womb
by Mom’s resolute inside nutritional walk.

Homeless ego child
re-connecting this eco-womb,
preparing to journey home again
each sacred light of wintry advent’s dawn

After thanksgiving days
and depressing night
re-awakening surprise
of ego’s wandering
health-rooted
adventurous soul
revolution dawning in darkest brights.

How To Enchant

I finished reading Sharon Blackie’s Enchanted Life yesterday.

Kind of a How To Do It,
a how to fix BusinessAsUsual textbook
organically rooted in animism,
I suppose a theologist
and maybe an enchanted ecologist,
might duly note.

Although animists are not distracted, usually,
by systematic theologian’s theories and conjectures
about becoming resilient sacred healthy wealth.

Animists are more practical theologians,
learning by dynamically doing
cooperative relationships
and mutually respectful reflections
on these sacred communions,
and sometimes even competitive eco-relationships
competing with MotherEarth’s sense of revolutionary timing
to build our richest sufficient time
as resiliently and fluidly as possible.

Practical theology,
like good pastoral theology,
like good non-violent communication
and being climate manifest
and becoming destiny
and doing dynamic health-skill sets,
is about how we are each called
to fix pathology,
to live every green enchanting day
by cooperatively communicating to restore
full benign being communion
and revolutionary becoming
and polypathic doing
bicamerally ego/eco
left/right
yang/yin
polynomial/polycultural
natural/spiritual practically speaking
as we make everyday bilateral choices
for our own and for our grandchildren’s enchanted thinking
and animist feeling,
seeing 2020 through both global and local EarthJustice lenses.

I do feel a little more positive
glimpsing ecstatic hope
by actively seeking enchanting justice pathways
ego-homeless
in a pilgrim journalist kind of way,
longing to fully be Here with Now,
Space with Time communal
YangResilient with YinResonant co-relational

By doing nature’s robust spirit
investing in wildly evolving forests,
boundary areas,
WinWin frontiers of blissful everyday eco-centeredness
chasing rainbows,
musical octaves,
fractured fractals,
safely enchanted in and on,
with and for, EarthJustice

Enchantment entitling first through last lived chapters,
limned by resilient
resonant
revolving nightdreams.

Cooperative StoryListening Proposal

I would like to hear and see
how and why you live,
when and where you prefer to die,

I would like to touch and taste
who and what you think and feel
is your greenest dreamed sanctuary
without imagined ultra-violet capital limits
and with secured and sufficient communion
for your most economic
and political
and ecological
and theologically robust lifeline.

This future HealthSanctuary Search
is for any visionary who might want to live personally and politically
more ecologically downscale
and slow-grown organic reorganization
and less economically patriarchal dependent-scaled
and fast-grown violent
stressing
and straining military-industrial mobilization.

This Sanctuary Search
is for those longing for communion ecologies,
more than eulogies,
although both can be good and left and right
appropriate to inside ego theologies
of healthy pruning gods
and nurturing goddesses reunited
reweaving LeftYang and RightYin transubstantiating fabrics
speaking reductive Earth
within universally inductive Heavens,
icons of sacred hybrid spacetime in-between
journeys toward HealthTipping Sanctuary’s
multicultural destinies.

For individuals and families,
WinWin naively young
on through resilient Wise GreeningElders,
longing for organic community wanna-be permacultural gardeners
longing for ego- and eco-therapeutic Home Schools
for positive energy democratic education
and green advocate cultural re-education,
and longing for RightBrain dominant creators,
activists,
designers,
sculptors,
story-tellers and listeners and followers and bloggers and sloggers,
musicians,
dancers,
ShoutOut comedians and rappers,
spacetime occupiers

Belonging to Green Sanctuary Movements,
locally egoed
and globally ecoed
with revolutionary room enough even for a drama queen or two
or even more,
practicing turn-taking and divine listening,
then speaking queenly green.

Sanctuary for preachers and teachers
and parents who prefer to childlike listen
and practice non-violent communication apprenticeships
perpetually being
and coincidentally doing
and cooperatively non-violent growing
WinWin green ecological economic Sanctuary CovenantShips
and pedestrian restoring rituals.

Then, after listing and listening
to your future sanctuary dreams,
I would like to help us together incarnate
green cooperative households
and gardens,
urban through rural farms filled with mutual home-holders
enjoying Earth’s outdoor green Sanctuary Cafe
with open mic nights and days
producing positive energy podcasts,
liturgical nutritional broadcasts
of healthy green sanctuary plants
with WinWin networking
root restoring systems,
eco-centrically wealthy
green listening casts
celebrating EarthHealth SpeakOut Sanctuaries,
earthy sanctity

Periodically proposing locally grown rituals
cooperatively thought and felt and imagined
Called out global green.

I would like to hear and see
how and why we live most robustly
in-between when Earth
and Heaven where
EarthTribe prefers to never die.

Sacred Shelters

If humane shelters
for homeless souls
with diverse bodies
were also sacred liturgies of passage,

Then sanctuaries for healthier transitions
could be good faith communities
moving together
toward cooperatively-owned
and mutually-imaged theology
and degenerative health anti-ecology authorities
and global positive energy wealth responsibility
givers and takers
speakers and listeners
inhabiting cooperative integrity
within WinEgo/WinEco diversity constraints
without toxic Yang/Yin competitions
to feel sufficiently safe
living evolved for greener sanctuary experience
feelings

Thoughts planted in childhood bonding experiences
of eco-school binding language with Win/Lose enculturation
further supplemented by more permanent
critical adulthood housing and extended family iconic events

Together building Earth’s great and everyday WinWin transitions
to cooperative communal homes
in restoring green buildings

Composing neighborhood blocks within eco-village sanctuary
rituals of dawning birth
through WiseElder emerging non-violence

Debating BusinessAsUsual competitive over-capital investment
under-communal wonder
to discern essential organic sanctuary bonding experiences
resilient across family regenerations past
toward future,
secular Earth passages
toward sacred homeless sanctuary.

Efficient Nutrition

Ecological relationships
evolved from effective theological inspirations,
and, eventually,
evolved away from defective theological lack of inspirations,
climate illogical fullness of secular desperation.

Efficient theological recreative relationship,
humane/divine climate balancing experience,
derives from ecological efficiencies
nurturing nutritional communication wealth.

Ecological sciences
evolved from,
and then away from,
theological inspiration
for purposes of effective discovery,
healing,
vocation,
Earth-calling,
questions furthering their integrity.

Theological inspiration
derived from ego/ecological prime relationships,
experiences,
critical light/dark events,
climates enchanting/disenchanting
hope/destitution
natural and spiritual effective communion
and efficient capitalization meanings
for polypathic health recovery
transubstantiating nutritional journeys
pilgrimages
toward and within Earth’s sanctuary movement.

Even secular humanist democracies
take hopeful health comfort
in restoring justice,
healing sacred karma,
Rather than merely bowing
to short-term fixes furthering retributive anti-ecological injustice,
bad lack of long-term theologically peaceful
redemptive grace.
