Poem
What fills your goals, son? I told you! Need to get my car rolling [life rolling, love rolling] yesterday, if not today... If I may interrupt to process mindful resilience for a bit... Let me ask again: Noticing you are concerned about long-winded and -winding and -whining and -worrying despair regarding personal and commercial transportation issues, [but not articulating trauma tissues, nor shadowy personal wealth issues] What is your primary prize [price, pride] co-empathic health and happiness and blue skies and deepest hope and anticipation for Heaven on Earth, sacred Son? I told you, Dad! I'm gonna boost my sales, [and preferably not your costs, losses, more trauma dramas] Gonna get a legit paycheck [and possibly save some of it?] Gonna rent a nice crib [and keep it nice-- not all skanky ashtray] Wanna spend more time with my daughter [practicing mindfulness and music and movement therapies] And buy her everything [sacred Earth can resiliently afford] And get you a new electric car [Bless you! But more credible if higher on this list] And that damn e-bike [Glory hallelujah; Free at last, Free at last!] you're always pushing at me and... If I may interrupt to process for a minute... I would like to share with you some things I have learned from hard and bumpy bi-recycling round and round experience Lack of mind exercising focus on how sacred Earth speaks to us with co-empathic respect and dignity may cause our young excesses to miss our own heartfelt Need to empower health and deep deep nearly breathless listening for shared values, Co-enlightening robust wealth Such lack of deeply sacred meaning-fullness defaults to secular Words [of commercial delivery and fair-trade enterprise] avoiding sacred recreative resonant therapies of full-choir resounding song and gospel dance [sometimes intimately horizontal] Emotionally up and down peak and valley outside natural and inside spiritual neuro-systemic experience [healthier when co-empathic and wealthier when co-passionate] of unconditional regard [attachment, appreciation, anticipation] +0/-1-squared universal binomial [unitarian prime equity] WuWei Yang/Yin bipartisan balancing GoldenRule priorities [less vengeful thoughts about getting mine before you take my ride-share, again] For deepest and widest and wisest sacred meaning, my Beloved Son [YoungStraightUrbanBlack LeftBrain labeled, boxed contained reserved margined stigmatized secularized commodified framed], Felt meanings, more than even thoughtful purposes, may be uncovered [discovered, recovered, miscovered, anti-overed] while keeping our bicamerally intelligent minds [stretching from win/win promise to lose/lose threat of overwhelming cognitive/affective dissonance] Full of co-governing co-investments [in healthy win/win bodies with wealthy spirited indigenous right/left-balancing minds]. What are your goals this year to go and grow green organics, including mythical edibles? [well-capitalized sacred grass] Green cooperative community co-invested polyculturing therapies for slow-growing ecological global win/win priorities for transporting cooperatively mindful wealth In other words merging silent wisdom with more experientially felt Golden Words... [and worldviews favoring healthy win/win sacred tools, so not lose/lose desecrating dogmatic weapons] You will not be young and strong [and bull-headed] forever with healthy lungs and gleaming white real teeth You will not be free ever with disabling unresolved Post-Trauma WhitePrivileged Anxiety with a maternal history of Obsessive-Approach/Compulsive-Avoid bipolar double-bind disorder and alcoholism on all four cannabis-fed sacred fractal sides descended from desecrating racist sexist homophobic dissociative apartheid memories of darkly ego-dissonant enslaved histories chronicling multi-generational despair, without personal lifespan right to merciful suicide, forever damned to Straight White Othering survival. You will not be happy dark marginalized bullied victimized stigmatized by a social educational system that has stolen from you and lied about you and decided, yet denied, TheMan knows all worth knowing about dark-hearted you, before Lives That Really Well Capitalized Matter even met you And yet will never appreciate you for these trauma narratives you bring that they couldn't on their worst dismembering day silently absorb. What are your most serene and sacred not so secret goals? Recovering GoldenRule faith we are more than worthless side-by-side survivors without political or capital merit [learning all we can from our dissociated anxious trauma-infested sins and therapeutic opportunities] Resist assumed personal demerits of natural birth and/or nurturing experience defying your unquestionable right to continue living [breathing beating loving, seeing hearing tasting feeding touching smelling breeding feeling neurosensory climaxes and also ran healthy co-relationships, wealthy multi-generational resilient co-passions]. It is difficult not to notice all your valuable trauma liabilities as also potential win/win assets inside your ego's outside ecotherapeutic opportunities [like trauma management in nonviolent arts and systemic health and learning sciences]. Stay focused on Earth's sacred prize, my son, like your surprise, I surmise, were you to grow your practice of sublime mindfulness [black-white not not copassionate] enlightening sacred integrity's potential [relationships not quite so white-faced evangelical] MotherEarth invokes much better walk-along cooperative therapies singing in silent forests [dancing naked in-and-outing tides] Her sacred wisdom I have found does not resonantly compete for mere sufficient transportation to exhaust all fired up resources chronically win/lose stressed Perhaps like LeftBrain talk talking [in endless commercial] ego/eco balancing therapists wandering through a win/win wanna-be bipartisan healing world... You awake?
