Muse Speaks

When trauma lurks
with upper hand,
To know death
is to fear loss.

When therapy
lends Her feminist sway
to know
and co-invest in life
is to predict
and cherish 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 Trauma is
and is not
therapeutically preventable
within one human lifetime,
relationship,
nonviolent communication history,
Yang/Yin resilient balance narrative

When trauma lurks
with upper bipolarizing hand,
To know depression
is to fear comprehensive loss.

When therapy
lends Her feminist sway
to know dipolarity
and co-arise in healthy life
is to predict trust and safety,
and cherish love
and lust’s sacramental deep impressions.

Sacred Grows Integrity

Natural Sacraments

Emerge from what sacred center,
committed to integrity’s potential
become more resilient,
and not fragile

More nature-soul evolving
Earth’s deepest
widest
longest
roundest
mountainous
dark valleyed sacraments
of light and power.

Gandhi regenerated
humane love lives on
and
inhumane hate
abuse
bigotry
patriarchal colonization
do not.

Even lesser losses
tend to shadow fade
across therapeutic rememorizing space
and laws of positive passion

Bodhisattva ruling
warm wombed pregnant co-attachment
across unconditional win/win
peak messianic experience
of panentheistic timeless time,
wonder of light
awe of deep dark power.

“It gives me ineffable joy
to go on
trying to prove that”
love lives on
where hate cannot.

Gandhi,
affirming integrity’s sacred meaning
cooperates with therapeutic bloom,
and not hate’s Loser doom

Win/Lose uncivil wars
and internal traumas
and Othering 0-sum competitive history
of disintegrating ecopolitical hostility
cannot destroy
our NonZero root chakra Soul

Curiously
constantly
resiliently
resonantly inviting EarthJustice

Peace within
as without
only one orthodox way to live
yet a legion of ways to die,
biologically
ecologically
politically
economically
spiritually
naturally
unnaturally
unspiritually

ZeroSum Capitalistically
yet
pregnant NonZero Soulfully

Sacred Round Integrity
embracing Secular Civil Equity
as universal passion
invites unitarian compassion
as beloved
as bilateral breathing
love-life rivered
shivered
shimmering…
anticipating warm empathic regard.

This personal, intimate project
of becoming fully humane
holonically reflects Earth’s divine project
into panentheistic Spirit’s nature:
integral EarthTribe transcendence.

From what pantheistic soul
does inter-religious commitment
become more therapeutic,
and less traumatic?

Healing intimately transcendent potential,
Sacred Integrity’s naturally spiritual,
Earth conservationally liberal
universal life–unitarian love
healthy multisensory
peak experience
merging resilient
Bodhisattva synergy
of EarthTribe sacraments.

Mindfulness As Usual

If I had an IQ of 17,
would this be normal?

My son,
with cerebral palsy,
no language capacity, no LeftBrain ability to read or write
or speak using linguistic tools,
with no hint of verbal or violent dominance issues,
has an angelic peace-loving IQ
in the 17 ballpark

On several behavioral measures of IQ
(does he have a swallow reflex?
Does he flinch
if his toe is pinched
or his foot is tickled?).

For him,
this IQ is normal,
when he’s feeling healthy,
relatively free of trauma
(including social
and political
and economic
and ecological
and theological
and biological, etc.),

Having a good win/win cooperative,
synergetic,
unconditionally warm regarding day.

And, for me,
his IQ seems normal,
or he would not be
the magnificent young man I know
and love
and care for
and listen to,

As he most times sits in silent
(hopeful bliss?)

Yet sometimes roars his verbal agency
to be seen
with unconditional warm regard
and heard with warm and sacred prophecies,

Our indigenous EarthTribe time
will never be less wisdom
than restoring ecojustice
compassionately co-invested
healthy and safe enough.

Health ReNewing Years

Polymorphic design

wondering how to see
local through global
EarthJustice trauma prevention
more clearly through

When we recognize
what inspires healthy polycultural design
of polypathic minds
and multiculturing bicameral hearts
and polyphonic non-zero zone

Is both stress-reductive
good humored
win/win strategic practice
and good trauma-informed contextual governance

For safe

Then,
in this Here and Now

healthy business

Human History Class

Tempting to offer an anthropological history class
and call it Earth History,
beginning with our current
messy
riled up
LeftBrain emergently dominating
our fracturing Anthropocene.

While trust seems true
and wise
when our public educational system
holds up humanism
and capitalism
as, together, supportive
of our underlying survival
of the fittest evolutionary orthodoxy,

Over in the Religious Studies Department,
we enjoy a wider variety,
from monotheistic
through panentheistic,
of dynamic political
and economic EarthHealth History.

Cultural climate history
also feels true
and trusted
from a more inclusive lens,
remembering back
and back
and back

When Earth’s most robust
and resilient capitalism,
competitive organisms,
required an underlying universal
multicultural value
for win/win egalitarian life-norms
supporting robustly transactional
regenerative
positive
healthy
ecosystemic creolizing outcomes.

Where normative expectations
of cooperative rules
for human
and Other life-systems integrity
are absent,

Including healthy democracy
educational systems,

EarthTribes do not experience
a satisfying competitive atmosphere
of resiliently developed
win/lose zero-sum capitalism;

Instead,
throughout recorded
LeftBrain dominant
Anthropocene history,
humans decry lack of sacred integrity
as theft,
greed,
piracy,
toxic corruption,
viral eruption,
bad business deception,
egregious predation
technological militarization

Of these shunning
shaming
blaming things,
EarthWars evolve;

Not Trust

Touch the Earth, Reach the Sky

Touching Earth,
reaching sky.

I walk salt shores
where all Souls fly
over joy’s ocean,
under sad bad lands
my faith in quests
we could understand.

Touch this Earth
to feel our sky.

Wise fools ask
our reasons why,
In glad lives
our answers glow,
in sad love
we learn to grow

To heal our Earth
and teach this sky

We are born
while I shall die,
Life’s my time for in between,
to build you a star,
to chase our dream

Touching Earth
while feeling sky

Hugging laughter
feeds my cry,
May I see
what we can give
for future’s child
to sacred live

We touch this Earth
to reach light’s sky

Soaring courage,
healthy high,
All Souls joining
in Earth’s flight
to touch Her right
I reach through night
for love’s last
last
last splendid sight.

This variation on Grace Lewis-McLaren’s hymn  (#301, Singing the Living Tradition) is dedicated to All Souls-PlanetEarth, especially New London, on the occasion of our Great Return, September, 2021.

May Unitarian Universalists sustain
active faith

co-gravitating intentions,
nuanced principles

In these ways,
in this public health emergency

may we join with good faith multiculturing
healthy democratic Others

Less invested in partisan elite-insider knowledge
and also not feeding and watering
non-elite Outsider fear
and anger of sensory-sexual sanity
necessary for building

And may we always listen for a resilient,
