Five Wiseelders

Five WiseElders come together hoping to complete their life circles resonantly yin, right embodied sacred light resiliently yang, left enspirited secular polypathic bright Hearing emotions before seeing to speak changing motions of flow-strength, river currents spinningly deep and winningly wide to move Earth's deforested un-glaciered mountains. I asked them and they asked me and each other, Would you have still come today if you could only despair of more win/lose narcissistic business as monotonously patriarchal usual? Then a cooperative memory test: What are your two primal forces necessary, although perhaps not sufficient, for social political economical psychological neurological ecological theological change to win yang win yin experience? The liberty of prophetic win/lose Crisis and security of past mutually win/win LovingExperience now extending from womb toward tomb in collaboratively somber summary gloom. I am already old, we not so suddenly notice, if we want to choose a more synergetic EarthLife, yang/yin love, left/right resilient balance, Then we have already aged into our shared climate of Crisis. Few more procrastinating uncourageous choices remain for our aging lack of curiosity. Remaining time is and is not our warmest friend. Urgency feeds our critical win/win active climate of resonance-seeking change. This space, this partial and potential fire-circle full of WiseElders for healing ourselves by helping to cooperatively heal despairing Earth invites a resilient sanctuary, a sacrament uncovering co-passioned place timelessly sacred WinSelf/WinOther opportunity to regain our interdependent non-violent communal grace of bilateral here/now yang/yin left/right business as appositioned usual Left-brain dominance without also Right-brain integral prominence within no fundamentalist saint or sinner and yet also no liberationist relativist detached anti-theist non-correlationist merely coincidentalist prejudice against old saints in crisis and sinners of all ages in circles for growing robust extending love On Earth within all EarthTribes all spiraling reductions/inductions of well-wombed through tombed win/win enlightening life Is not lose/lose dualdark death; not yet and not yet past passed on Wherever remains healthy life, undisputed also lives active hope discovering resilient love uncovering this shared crisis of well-aged mortality communing acting breathing for immortal Earth repute.
