Consuming Compassion

Natural compassion, like unnatural hate, is left hemisphere teachable and right hemisphere contagious. Perhaps also like hate (fortunately I know less about this journey in misfortune) compassion cannot mature through merely didactic reasoning, words, thoughts devoid of healthy/pathological safe/danger anticipation/anxious feelings Positive communication experience commitment predicts healthy integrity Nurturing and nutritional support Nature's cooperative respite into nondualistic yet spirited peace, resonantly non-anxious safety breathing light in and power out A lifetime environmental healthy guarantee that I will notice, respect, attend to, anticipate moments when alone to fill with imaged complex solidarity rather than emptying into dark silent apartheid, despairing manic loneliness, uncomfortable forced separation, segregation, severance. Compassion grows from infant attachment into childhood appreciation, puberty's struggling acceptance flaring into peaks of passion, adolescent sympathy for EarthTribes left behind and out and under and away, blown up by abuse and fractured by neglect Of HerStory within history, rich indigenous polycultures, ancient ecofeminist liturgies, healthy and impassioned sexuality Marginalizing into unstable labels of Either Us Or Them eco-political competitions, divisions, polarizations of what MotherEarth wove wombed birthed together For mature adult healthy and safe EarthTribal empathy Which, when felt and known, seen and heard, touched and smelled as uniting co-empathy, we deeply feel and wide-culturally speak of integrity's theistic mystery Sacred, wondrously overwhelming, awesomely unspoken underwhelming Present CoPresence Steadfastly anticipating timelessly stable strong yet flowing compassionate universally uniting Yang-Yintegral health polarity and wealth circularity CoBinary CoPartisan CoPassionate green communion.
