Family Values Party
Healthy families can be quick to anger
but, if so, they have also learned to be quick to forgive,
forgiveness redeems anger and fear to again risk mutual trust.
Partisan political leaders are not leading when they,
immersed in adversarial power positions,
are slow to forgive.
Well, OK, forgiveness, like mutual mentoring,
and redemptive behavior,
is not part of our political rhetoric,
language,
active monoculturing intent.
While I am practicing what love preaches
as civic and familial virtue,
manifest partisan destiny does not.
So, those who choose to grow
in divisively stratifying marginalizing
micro- and macro-aggressive partisanship
monochromatic
monopolistic praxis and intent,
could healthier choose to lead in mutual forgiveness
and consideration for honest differences,
to engage in actively cooperative polyculturalism,
following the nondualistic lead of Permaculture Design's
ecological economics,
spreading Golden Rule organic compost on every issue,
species,
paradigm,
place,
relationship,
population and subculture,
replacing mutual immunity with mutual gratitude
for Positively intended win/win Deviance
and Orthopraxis of physical/mental health systemic norms,
virtues,
values of body/mind integrity,
synergy,
balance,
actively co-passionate relations.
For two, or more, Parties to optimize effective communication,
one must listen
while the other talks
then listens for co-empathic thought/feelings
while the other talks,
both sides actively searching for all the sides
to convene in their ego/eco-centric location of
being together now
within mutual gratitude for becoming healthier together
than falling apart;
the power and potential of mutually mentoring integrity,
and, oh yes, politically inclusive and effective leadership
for compassionately co-invested cooperative
webs of EarthSentient LoveLife.
Let's have a Family-Friendly Party,
equally adept with angry confrontation,
integrity,
flexibility and listening,
and nobody is allowed to go to sleep
even one night
without knowing we all agree to forgive each other
for being human natured.
This is how we learn universal love
from unitarian life
for our ego selves
and each ecosystemic
organically intelligent
universally thoughtful
and unitarian feeling
Other
Sometimes little
and sometimes big
love child of empowering EarthMother
and enlightening SunFather.
