Poem
I have heard almost nothing about New Year Resolutions this pandemic year; Although personal sound waves are filled replete with incomplete invitations to take better health care of personal and social and economic and democratic and public and green climate nonviolent communication wealth optimization As we move post-millennially and relentlessly, perhaps as inevitably as any self-fulfilling NewYear resolute expectation, standing win/win apart from ambiguous anticipation thoughts with anxious feelings, foreboding fore-tidings, Right/Left affective/cognitive dissonance; fading resonance. I have, in this last pre-MLK week, noticed an upsurge in human striving voices invoking dark, globally embarrassing, humor and gratitude for President BullHorn for straight white male persuading large majorities of Earth's citizens, red and green and yellow and orange, black and mostly southern and middling white patriarchally privileged LeftBrain violently red dominant RightWing wounded and terrifying, To NewYear discontinue an elitist direction we don't want to continue pursuing, extracting without explicitly agreeing to democratically forego our constitutional commitment to a healthy resilient multicultural republic both polyculturally healthy and safe for now, and for all foreseeable future economic and political regenerations. Many 2020s new year roaring revolution voices seem to assume liberal v conservative choices are limited to: If one is punishing good justice then the other is a bad pleasure seeker-- opposites; Appositionally, demonstrably, comparatively, even consensually, recognized as not true to personal politically co-invested democratic experience when we are discussing liberally loving healthy cooperative communication and conservatively co-investing in globally resilient public health and climate WholeEarth safety. Liberal left wings and conservative right winged, and all of us who faithfully remain middling muddling in-between, resolve to embrace consensually green healing rather than viral and climatic punishing pandemics, ego-inside and eco-outside our bilaterally integral sensory bodies, We are and often are not newly resolved, recommitted to personal health and public political safety sacredly cooperative economic Vocations. When I feel healthiest and safest, in this another new year, in this early decade of Roaring BullHorn 20s, is when I step outside to listen for voices of disenfranchised trees, scolding squirrels, babbling brooks, rippling rivers, surfing seas, light conversations between blue sky and cirrus clouds, rain on rocks and rolling thunder anthems Sung in response to my questions about what is healthy liberal Yang Light and conservative Yintegrity Power? And what is more Trumpian nationalist elitist Republican pathological would-be autocratic fascism, worship of richly narcissistic wounded persons of exorbitant interest, punishing power, uninformed dissonant delusions, Where StraightWhiteMale privileged capitalist corporate minds have falsely advertised resilient and resonant bicameral fortunes in evolving nationalistic militaristic extractive wealth, not so much durably thriving democratic health and safety from defensive win/lose strategies, strong pro-active non-connective violent colonizing aggressions moving toward mutual lose/lose predator/prey assured destruction. Sometimes Earth's January voices seem to predict and celebrate full climaxing resiliently thriving healthy wealth. Sometimes they warn of wounded and broken personal and public, social and political and economic monocultural non-MLK celebratory pathology. But, most of this NewYear resolving time, especially when I'm working on MLK-Era Revolutionary Green Resolutions for restoring Ego/Earth-balancing Justice, and WholeEarth/Heaven MultiCulturing Systemic Peace, these spirit/nature, inside/outside nonviolent ego/eco-voices ignore my quests for wise discernment because egocentric questions, provided by past memories and short future imagination, are unworthy of macro-ecosystemic attention. If the only choice I offer is: "Should I live in a toxic, fossil-fuel burning condo or in a toxic, fuel-burning trailer park?" Why would such ancient god and goddess voices and smells, sounds and senses, respond to these unintended wounds and win/lose competitive broken messes? Asking for less than wisdom to always resolve win/win revolutionary new era decades inviting curious questions and resolutions exploring remembering future images of liberally conserving green Healthy SacredEarth celebrations.
