Valentine’s Day Resilience

Gratitude
for grace already received
is a robust measure of generosity.

Compassion scans for generosity’s fullness
felt within
as incarnated without

As dispassion predicts greed’s anxious emptiness.

Giving is physical and/or verbal
while generosity is mental and nonverbal.

Giving,
like loving,
hoping for a return of grace
within your lifetime’s future,
does not share
or stretch
your gift of generosity.

Giving,
hoping to receive in equal measure,
plus interest,
plus loyalty,
plus admiration for our generosity,
is an investment
which counts the cost
of risking loss

Not necessarily a failure of gratitude,
or love,
for oneself
as for Other,
and also
not an outward compassionate act
of inward
mind-nourishing generosity.

Bruising Words

Words too often have rough edges,
bloody histories,
lines more defined
than relentlessly imaged cliffs,
worshipping sacred sunlight shades
of high hazards

Coveted risks
more than needed opportunities
to hard wall wail against wild creations
unmoved by words
without animated calling
longing
belonging
or wooing wilderness

Offending worded weapons
seducing well-schooled tools

Sounds with edges
and without

Opening and closing
edgeless sighing pause

Slowly awaiting surf’s slow
slurried
soft
slavish turn
to reach for shores
absorbing thoughtless
sand-grained
edges.

Healthy Change ReFormations

I suppose a healthy Taoist
is a wealthy Change artist,
designer
researcher,
mediator,
facilitator,
mentor,
resilient liver
more than a despondent dier.

Taoism,
like Zeroism,
and Universal Unitarianism,
is a multicultural path
toward restoring,
and resiliently retaining,
MotherEarth’s natural
AND spiritual
empowerment

Still left-hemisphere deductively dominating verbal voices
in warm conversation with
EarthTribe’s blue/green sacred feelings
organically ecofeminist
holistically synergetic,
interdependently integral
economic and political
Yang/Yintegrity co-invested,

Which,
in a gay white alliance
with BlackFamily Lives Matter husbands,
requires cooperative talent for noticing,
and correcting unenlightened privilege,
with a warm soft-felt sense of humor,
“You don’t act right half the time.”

Inviting empowering response,
“But, look what a great transformational job you’ve done
with my more enlightened half.”

Better co-invested in polyculturally correct
GoldenRule outcomes,
win-win sealed and certified
economically sacred long-term resilience
ecologically secular short- through long-term
co-invested,
infested with delight
in sharing joyful journeys

In green secular empowerment
standing steely mountainous strong–
left-hemisphere patriarchal–
and yet also blue sacred enlightenment

Tender mercies of graced Beauty
qualitatively emerging
evolving
resolving
involving democratically expanding health
wealth nonzeroistic merging

Whole QueenGaia Spirits
of sacred TurquoiseMundi
standing bicamerally tall

Left-hemisphere prominence
flowing bilaterally in
and out Right-bihemispheric dipolar
co-arising integrity of here
now bilateral Truth
Beauty con-science

Integral re-connection
restoring ego-health
within ecosystemic safe
felt binomial balance

InBetween Holy Trinities
of EarthClimate empowering Justice
equally invested in EarthClimate enlightened caregiving Health
synonymous with Living EarthTribe Systems
optimizing health/safety perennial
resilience

Long-term EarthPeace compassion
co-present ego inside LeftVoiced
actively mediating sufficient
fair ecosystemic outside RightHealth Choice

Equitably democratic
healthy economic
and political GoldenRules
of win/win outcome ratios
outgoing choices
of incoming voices

Quite a bit less patriarchally conflicted
about short personal lifetime
v long-term EarthClimate
multigenerational
multicultural healthcare commitments

In solidarity with EgoCentered
Resilient Family
Resonant Community
Holy Communions,
steeped in multicultural blue/green
integrity

Empowering organic gardens,
enlightening ecofeminist farmers
cooperative
holistic
nonhistoric–
merely everyday win/win
DNA rethinkers

Sufficiently endowed
with indigenously preverbal
naturally enspirited Wisdom
for health
tribal wealth
governance

Democratically empowering healthy Taoists
enlightening wealthy Change artists,
designers
researchers
mediators
facilitators
mentors more than degenerative
nonviolent noncommunicators

On our best days
also
resiliently dynamic livers
seeking win/win multicultural change
in wealthy resonant climates breathing out
and healthy in.

Silent Skirmishes

Words as offensive weapons
dwell on ugliness of bad-humored life.

Words as effective tools
dwell on beauty and truth
of good-humored health,
empowerment,
love.

Yet, swords become plowshares.
Plowshares are used as unwieldy swords.
Regenerative intent becomes degenerative chaos.
Degenerative discontent becomes regenerate
tipping point
within silent complexity.

Can words become weapons
for active peace?
And still tools
feeling quietly unresolved internal wars?

Between curious ancient communioned minds
and courageous ego bodies,

Between original health-tooled womb
memories
And today’s wealth-weaponed tidal means,
unsustained strength
yet resiliently flowing ways,
transparent brother dissonance
voicing sister confluence
through empowering vulnerability;
revolutionary stillness
actively listening
between quiet health-wombed rememories.

Wisely employed wellness tools
for feminist well-being weapons;
cooperatively-managed words
for hearing embeautied Truths,
re-seeing Ways,
rekindling communicating Lives;
revolutionary politics,
awesome economics,
wondrous revitalization,
compassionate communion.
