Poem
You and I may have decided long ago, and again more recently, more ego-centrally and now more large-stage ecopolitically, that human life has only that meaning and purpose we give ourselves, we choose to embrace, however ambivalently And this dissociation from divine theocratically orchestrated organized operational history and culture leaves us free but also isolated; an individual without communally objective identity, without sacred communion orthodox portfolio. You may have thought, as did I, a self-assigned secular purpose could only be subjective, as free as straight white male law to become morally arbitrary, Polypathic liberation without polyphonic natural harmonies of graced and original sacred objective intent-- sometimes punishing and other times healing-- sometimes both retribution against subjects and therapy with and for redeemed objects. You may have thought God is as dead as planet Earth will one day be, and there is no realistic natural or spiritual escape route, No heavenly and eternal paradise Rapture for the Elect, much less the merely subjective NonElect like wounded isolated mortal autonomous ego me. I may have come to hope we push through in-between nihilistic subjective freedom to choose win/lose competitions between leftbrain wealth of chosen verbal knowledge and rightbrain health of meaningful connection back through generations regenerating self and other selected purpose to reconnect Father straight white male God with MotherEarth CareTaker CreationGiver Choosing DNA's secular/sacred healthiest/wealth of opportunity to choose vocational purpose rejoining Earth's win/win CareTaker leftbrain intent either/or win or lose with EarthMother's CareGiver rightbrain composing interdependent CoPassion's eco-habitual co-operational meanings. Co-relational left with right is not necessary lapse into merely subjective relativism, as is either straight or queer left yang dominance without both equal and interdependent right yin prominence.
