Excuse Me
Excuse me!
my son's bus driver exclaimed
as I walked away from his wheelchair ramp this morning.
I had not finished putting his safety harness on.
Excuse me,
without exclaiming,
means please cut me some slack,
I need to break into your flow of unconsciousness.
My curiosity about apparent invisibility
may exceed your courage for immediately present transparency,
intimacy,
focus,
accessibility,
grace
and less denial of dark powers absorbing self and other losses.
Excuse me,
unexclaimed,
unplugged may invite my love
and acceptance of what we cannot independently improve.
But, don't dismiss me
also lies exclaiming dormant,
waiting in revolutionary disordering wings,
sometimes because lack of curiosity
about needs and wants of others
threatens to get in my own ego's way,
harming, neglecting those within speaking distance here and now,
and many more not yet loud enough
for me to hear full-voiced disenchantment.
Excuse me!
exclaimed
leans more to RightWing
"Don't dismiss my Business As Usual
Yang competition powers!"
than
"Would you do me a LeftWing yin paid-forward favor?"
To stop ego self-promoting
your internal short-term needs and rantish feelings
long enough to make love with some WinWin cooperation
MotherEarth
and all Her sacred tribes of history
are waiting for us to hear,
waiting for my excuse
for not exploring future health dreams together
deeply and widely
yet astutely focused.
Here with you
and Now as me exclaiming
longing for Earth climate ecstasy,
personal and public,
sacred and secular,
spiritual and natural
Excuse me, please
and thank you in advance
for noticing further climate risk pathology
and yet also future health caring opportunities.
