Dervish Earthdance

I sometimes reconsider all our politicians and economists, Not as party-line teachers, or even dogmatic preachers, instead as future forecasting, co-infesting deep past and present listening with compassioning co-empathic therapeutic intent to laugh and sing. Who is not at least a private health care politician seeking to empower our heart-felt constituencies and not to disempower? What responsible adult is not at least a personal wealth economist? Praying for divine enlightenment and not so much inhumane depressing endarkenment? Who has been cause-effect effectively recausing counter-culturally exposed to Buddhist master laughter? Meditation in silly groups feeling nearly giddy with short-term relief from mountainous depression valleys of despair Surprised, perhaps dismayed, that such a fake pretending dervish exercise might portend more than our species' economic political anti-ecological demise. I further wonder if all Earth's depressed suppressed oppressed repressed muted muses Silenced stunned sunk by political sadness dispiriting badness economic madness of Earth's Great Transitional Pandemic Might discipline our lonely lethargic neglected bodies to dance until our minds remember how to sing and ring ping and ding a liturgy of sacred laughter things together regathering For re-empowering compassioned muses enlightening sacred ecstatic economists, co-investing companies and choirs of moving mindful musicality, harmony, synergy, win/win cooperative energy, sufficient for eco-politically heart-felt lung-filled integrity To more reflectively reconsider all our singing polities and EarthDance economies sanctifying dervish universal universities.
