Inspired, in part, by White Fragility, diagnosed and written by Robin Diangelo

May supreme Force become You. How is whiteness like straightness? she asked And how is maleness like left-brain dominance? he responded. It seems, to usually curious and always ancient right with left dipolar ecofeminist Us, Contracts are secular agreements designed to improve mutual odds of losing less value as invested across degenerating time. While Covenants may be all that contractual business, But also sacred cooperative accompaniments designed to improve warm solidarity of synergetically winning optimal values empowering We, Where and when PolyNomial We equals interdependent PolyCultural Us. Contracts hold ZeroZone transparent space for win/lose, positive/negative good/bad life/death oppositional evolutionary/devolutionary EarthInvestment/Divestment Trends While Covenants expect overwhelming win/win opportunities can be multiculturally rediscovered redeemed through appositional dipolarities co-arising Yang/Yin EarthTrend egoLeft/ecoRight cooperatively-held sacrifices, Yang, past-informed yet Yin, future-exforming flow out, Voice inhaled as reverse un-versed exhaled, Future as re-imaged response to win/lose conversion into win/win freedom of imagination, playing and gaming co-invested compassion, fluid strength migrations, polyphonic paths of rediscovery into rapture's sacred consciousness climaxing polycultural out/in-comes, where all values are intrinsically positive safe healthy. We more typically contract to cooperatively resist against a shared enemy alien impoverished multiplication diminishment long-division, threat against long-term Elite LeftBrain resilience within a resonant agreement of mutual asylum, our win/lose silo of internal/external apartheid, Climates communicating in and outside. Sometimes we creolize the colors and climates of symphonic sacred sanctuaries through cooperative invitation within a safe and healthy multicultural-valuing space relationship vunerable communication of felt and thought co-passions, Left with Right bicameral communions, universally egalitarian salvation through unitarian intersectional passions for listening noticing positive and negative climates attitudes verbalizations embodied right-brain feelings disembodied left-brain deductive/reductive thoughts Longing for GoldenRule ecopolitical sanctuary, green, brown and black and tan and cream and white, blue and red, ultra-nonviolent integral compassion. Asylums do not challenge retributive justice norms and values. Except as also Sanctuaries, integral sacred multiculturally resilient can restore win/win peace and justice models of compassionate communication, Especially as inspired by this post-millennial crisis of Climate Fragility fragmentation degenerative trends of devolution, now first seen and heard felt and thought and touched with 2020 pre-vision provision, safety, nurture, nutrition, health-wealth. How is whiteness like straightness? she, fragile, asked, And how is maleness like left-brain dominance? he, fragmented, responded. May Earth's ancient Source be with Us.
