Better Days and Nights

Harvey Feinstein, in I WAS BETTER LAST NIGHT reflects: "Artists return to paint the same landscape over and again, but they do so looking forward." "The goal isn't to copy what they've already done, but to try to capture it all anew." "The question isn't 'What did I see?' --it's 'What DO I see?' And what might we hope to feel recommemorating organically reconnecting inter-religioning multiculturally regenerating again? And so it is also true, I hope: Artists and ecofeminists and compassionate bodhisattvas, green messianic panentheists and wounded suffering GLBTQ+ woke servants Return each morning contemplating how and why to paint this same nurturing EarthTribal landscape over and redemptively again, but to do so looking compassionately win/win cooperative joy co-invested ecopolitically health wealth optimizing forward Not to competitively win/lose copy our leftbrain dominant straight white male privileged past but to win/win try to capture blue starlight ecstasy and full GrandMother Moon integrity indigenously waxing and waning anew each re-awakening dawn and contemplative dusk, exhaling Father sunlight and inhaling EarthMother's fragrant powers, robust passions.
