Poem
Are you feeling sad, wanting your faith community, democratic society, to live more... live more deeply... live more widely... Faithful to wealthy health, yes, and I wonder if you are angry, frustrated, impatient, wishing for more enthusiastic RESPECT, more Aretha Franklin listened to and more explicitly understood, appreciated? On my worst days, anger. Most days and nights, impatient, feeling stuck in time moving too win/win opportunity slow, and too win/lose risky fast. On my best days, impatient with capitalism as monotheistically worshiped, yet also multiculturally curious about remaining hope for reconnecting personal health with eco-political wealth. I'm wondering if I could doubt my own gastro-intestinal intelligence, and what Earthly ego would I be without bicameral ego/ecosystemic balance? Now I'm confused. Can you help me understand how what you are wondering about responds to my feelings and win/win faithful needs, of which I was just now speaking? It seems like a more elite, empowered leadership circle in your faith community may have trouble appreciating the fuel investments nutritional resources that listen quietly and too tolerantly too frustrated about win/lose communication patterns, business as competitively usual and leftbrain dominantly blind to win/win nonviolent cooperative communion. It feels like I am being cast in the role of an ignored gadfly sphincter, holding in all my compassion for healthy diversity of theological ideas and ecological experiences digesting cerebrally and intestinally, thought and felt nutrition seeking healthier contagious outcomes. I'm feeling amused about wanting to imagine what your perfect respected sphincter paradise, our nonviolent win/win communicating; what co-empathic inclusive faith community would look like and sound like and smell like and feel co-invested and taste healthy for you. I feel encouraged and supported when you express active curiosity about my feelings and needs for healthy community, safe sanctuary, green asylum from violent red-blooded egocentric anthropocentric predation. I'm feeling resonance yet struggling to actually connect green restorative asylum with concerns that "Man's best friend." is a dogged species no longer confident our anemic human faith communities, societies, associations, cooperatives, remain Dog's best friend. Now there's a species that respects sphincters!
