A Sustainable Sanctuary
I'm in the life-long process
of conjoining a Unitarian Universalist Green Sanctuary
communion of All Souls
living healthy
on all wealthy Earth soils.
This is not my first time joining an intentional good-faith community,
but it is the first time I have signed a Membership Book
of historical,
spiritual,
natural cooperatively intentioned community
which goes back only to 1911.
Some UU sign-up and -in Books
began, and have been more and less healthily sustained,
since the 1700s.
This AllSouls, in New London,
is more of a contemporary Souls membership history story,
mostly of cooperation,
or we could not still exist,
but probably more than sufficient competitions as well.
At least two natural-spiritual multicultural health formation experiences strongly influence how I approach the "Welcome New Member" folder,
placed in my hand by the Membership Committee Chair.
Our seven UU Communion Principles show up inside this folder
on a yellow-green sheet,
mapping a two-pillared alpha through omega arch;
a health construction bridge
between All Souls past and present;
Not a sectarian wall of dogmatic who is and was enlightened
and who is and was yet to be effectively reborn.
My Taoist Yang/Yin bilateral philosophy
intersects training/experience with Permaculture Design
of interdependent exteriors
and integral interior subclimate development
for therapeutic and regenerative
NonZero ZenZone polycultural health robust reformations,
reincarnations.
This nature-spirit pantheistic view
of Earth and Her/His non-sectarian communal parts
influences how I read through these transubstantiating communal Principles.
The first and last, the alphaYang/omegaYintegrity
two pillars
speak to what Taoist Permaculture Design has ego/eco-systemically unveiled
inside me,
then co-operated multicultural nutrition opportunities
outside me:
The inherent health worthiness
and natural/spiritual
body/mind co-arising dignity
of every person,
living with and for cooperatively owned and self-managing plants,
on organic planet Earth
Respect interdependent webs of nutrition
nurturing subsystems
of all changing climates
of which each ego-system, inside
and each eco-system, outside
co-invests a secular/sacred
pan-sectarian
networking
holonic
communal
communitarian green sanctuary
Preferring bilaterally, even multilaterally, non-violent
speaking and listening,
noticing and caring,
not neglecting and abusing,
polypathic co-relational
monotheistic self
and panentheistic part of other
co-passioning organic non-aparts.
In the epicenter of the remaining five over-arching Principles
about our shared health-seasoned journey
into how we agree to cooperatively grow
as one organic communal to-gathered sanctuary
The 4-Season Dimension speaks out,
holds tightly toward Freedom,
because cooperatively paid forward
and backward throughout multigenerations,
economically
and politically
and psychologically
and ecologically co-redeeming health
wealth
Virtuous cooperative circles
norms, etc
through co-responsible cooperative research
for healthy yang affluent truth of purpose
meeting, and never excluding,
wealthy yintegral
nutritionally effluent meaning
Robustly purposed,
perhaps even pentecostally transformative,
resiliently co-relational,
resonantly compassioning diversity of Yang/Yin unity,
never Yang v Yin competing
crown-mind v root-body
winner v loser
passion v pleasure
monotheistic uniformity.
The Second Principle
births spring thaws of EarthJustice,
nutritional equity,
compassionate sanctuaried green integrity
in humane/divine
natural/spiritual co-arising newborn, reborn relations
sprouting summer's fully maturing compassions.
The Third sun-drenched Principle
celebrates transparently enlightening acceptance
and vulnerably naked encouragement
to naturally/spiritually
outside/inside mature,
climax polycultural outcomes,
polyphonic inside singing outside dance,
polypathic spatial Here affluently breathed yangly in
as temporal Now exhaled effluently yin out
in all EarthTribe souls
and soils
Preparing for our future Fifth Dimension Principle:
BiPartisan harvesting right and left
of conscientious democratic green past
through red rightly full
future win/win trusting sacred seeds
winnowed
and carefully treasured
in active hope
for yet another season
of EarthSanctuary reasoned
renewal.
And then, holistically systemic Yintegrity
as our last Sixth Principle
winterish:
Prophesying Advent of global non-violent communion
over-arching FourSeason PermaCultural Goals
of healthy EarthGreen Sanctuary, warming spring
of peace-drenched communication,
radically lavish inside liberty of universal love,
celebrating unitarian EarthJustice restored
with
and by
and for
and of all cooperatively-owned
interdependent webs
networks
bridges
gardens
holistic organic farms
Sanctuaries producing and consuming and reproducing
Win/Win polypathic Souls
of which each healthy ego
is an essential
nutritional
nurtured/natured
whole yin/yang speaking
singing
dancing
graceful EarthJustice
GreenSanctuary part.
It's a lot to take in,
to cognitively and affectively travel through
before moving on to the GoldenRule Cooperative Stewardship sheet,
all about therapeutically treating
and sustaining
robustly resilient
resonant
root co-investment
enlightened Left
and empowering Right
co-nurturing native neurosystems.
