Brother River

For a Taoist, rivers and their valleys are iconic ecowomanist yintegrity, Yet St. Francis feels rivers, but probably not their embracing valleys, as Brothers. As the River running through my backdoor life flows from northern right downstream to southern left, I remain nondualistically of two minds, and probably all transinsurrections in and out between River waters flowing and valleyed land supporting gender specific identities I cannot realistically experience upstream from down, or flow from strong stability toward this River's mouth emptying into nonviolent surf progressively surging forward and regressively back From overflowing ocean sources refilling MotherEarth's support for stable and resilient, public and intimate health care TransGendered systems for all Brother/Sister sacredly bilateral spiritual strength flowing naturally down and out, redeeming up and in Taoist interdependent rivers and their intersectional valleys flowing deep sea green integrity.
