Poem
Dear Siblings Three, At least three of us four have survived this first round of sharing our seeing Reds and our feeling Blues. At this point I imagine our eldest sister reading with interest, and/or possibly contempt, and holding all these things in her heart and mind. The other three of us, two Blue, elder brother Red, each have told our stories, reviewed our positions during this first year of the Trump CEO Public Sector Administration, USA. I did not find an explicitly stated value or disvalue shared by all three of us. There are, of course, several values and disvalues shared by the two Blues, Kerry and me, and two disvalues shared by RedMike and BlueKerry are loss of freedom and loss of safety. And, although I didn't say so, I would certainly put these two squarely in my disvalues column as well. Integrity is a positive value mentioned by both RedMike and BlueGerald, me. While BlueKerry does not use the word I know her well enough to appreciate this also fits transparently within her values lens just as venality and mendacious subterfuge are disvalues both Blue and Red CoHeld, and yet too often targeted by cash-fed multinational media. Apparently as we love integrity we are also fascinated by its evil opposites, like Lot's wife looking over her climate holocaust shoulder when it would be way better for her health to dwell on the PromisedLand in front of her. Blue responses emphasize health care giving and sacred gift economy receiving, restorative justice and peace, and ecological education as therapeutic values. Mike's Red response emphasizes moral code, law and order, retributive justice and defensive technologies and personnel as more saliently held values. Yet, these are apparent differences of priority, not necessarily oppositional Win-Lose differences. Points of contrast invite comparison and need not predict disloyalty of mutual incompatibility. To my surprise, and dismay, I do see some points where active RedValues seem to also be active BlueDisValues, double-binding Win-Lose Boundary Issues: RED / BLUE Divine rulership-authority / degenerate monoculturing climates, cultures Military strength / loss of global and national safety thru violence Monocultural intent, monopolistic monotheism / sacred polyculturalism As I look at these three, they begin to look like three faces of one tension within a shared Sacred PolyPathic Intention: Retributive blood justice through crusading JustWars conjoining Restorative EcoJustice through BiLateral PeaceMaking. Old Testaments within New Grace Contexts. From a Red evangelical Christian frame, this takes me back to Jesus Christ's prime Messianic message and function and purpose: Jesus came to save this entire creolizing Earth through Abba's restorative grace economy, baptism through living water and full enlightenment, healthy light transubstantiating His Judaic Law and Order retributive sacred justice through blood sacrifice Traditions, through just-wars and OldSchool self-righteous jihads and military might of Caesar's commodifying Win-Lose coin, colonizing violence all now washing away by baptism of Messianic-Bodhisattva redemption, polypathically sacred, polyphonically sung and danced by and through rivers of sacred world-citizen enlightenment, bilaterally cooperative spiritual experience of polyculturing Grace for a world so loved God created to regenerate Christ's EarthBound Eden, perpetually reborning. First Nation's creolizing sacred healthy invitation, multicultures of and for Earth gratitude, is Second Constitution's colonizing and King James Bible-rooted EnLightenment Intent, away from monotheistic totalitarianism of Royal Rulership in favor of polyphonic truths of grace in democratically evolving cooperative trust, Father of ego's Hope, Son of Earth's Great Transitional Faith in MultiCulturing Grace, Spirit of (0)Tao Primal Relationship humane/divine through ReStorative EgoPeace within Sacred EcoJustice as nature-spirit mentored by MotherEarth. So, now I bow in Taoist-Christian gratitude for these our gifts and invite our minds and hearts to speak through One Grace Way, bicameral Truth, bilateral times in loving Life restoring Eden's global ReGenesis. When I was a fundamentalist egocentric child, I listened and spoke as an innocent child asking Why? When we ecopolitically mature into One Body of Bodhisattva-Christ, we speak polypathically and dream polyphonically to ask Why Not? In Jesus' eternally transubstantiating Name and Word and Way and Truth and Timeless Life, Your Brother Gerald, inviting our most generous 2020 responses of and for mutual democratic trust in divinely generous truths we all can share on Earth as in Eden's Heavenly Promise.
