Distinctions Without Difference
This sun-warmed March morning
while slowly stretching
in my sedate senior way,
I wondered how I might blame myself
for religious teachers
forgetting most often
that wealthy minds are also healthy bodies,
living on and in healthy relationships
and sacred communities
reconnecting this organic Earth's
potential integrity.
Who could I blame
for secular science and arts
and health-nutrition teachers
forgetting most often
that healthy bodies are also polyculturally well-fed minds?
Differences between brain and body
are merely mindbody appositional distinctions.
While I can cognitively discern distinction
I cannot intuitively perceive difference
between natural and spiritual
physical and mental relationships
.
Isn't this a reverse corollary
of survival of the physical fittest?
Thrival of the naturally straight
and white male strongest?
Health of the most resonantly connected mindbodies
is also survival of the least dissonant
inside v outside,
like inter-religious WesternYang-face
with EasternYin-grace.
Perhaps it would help
if I stretch just a bit longer,
if we could learn to panentheistically engage together,
dipolar difference AND nondual co-arising distinctions
Yang is with Yin
as organic AnthroMind is within sacred EarthBody
As Left-Dominant verbal distinctions
warmly regard Right-Prominent
nonverbally felt corporal/capital differences
as Universal Salvation missions
invite Unitarian CoRedemptive integrity
As enlightening mental synergy
feeds my empowering physical energy
of and for all integrally spiritual religions
reconnecting natural EarthTribes.
My primal relationship impressions
with dipolar co-arising distress
triggers negative correlational tensions
reconnecting appositional differences,
where two LoseLose not-knots
make one Winning balanced MidWay
healthier rightbody feelings
co-governing
wealthier leftbrain thoughts.
I doubt we could ever finish stretched spiritual discernments
without losing our natural religioning distinctions
this sun-warmed March morning
while slowly sacred stretching
in my sedate senior impressive way.
