In my heart I am a Taoist, but in my ecosystemic mind, I think like a Universal-Unitarian bicameral, healthy democracy emergent, win/win, cooperative, green, ecofeminist Ass(O)Ciation, which is not at all what my Taoist Both/And heart would write and sing and joyfully dance as universalunitarianbicameral democraticwin/wincooperative greenecofeminist IndigenousAss(0)Ciation HealthWayTrueWealthLife.

Easy to be cruel
against sublime unitarian longings
stewed in outdoor green/blue sunshine
reproducing universal solitude belonging

Within this multiculturally hued
resilient solidarity
I likely feel compassion's warm 
win/win communication 
in/on Earth's most gracefilled
vocationally sacred 
shared interfaith intent

To find every day, 
with green
ecofeminist allies,
with mother tree nutritional system designers
and other sacred indigenous grandmothers

Wisdom camouflaged in nonempires of translucent peace
warriors for actively subconscious anonymity
two-sided waiting for sufficient deep
and wide,
power
and light ego/eco-motivating sounds

Of ultra nonviolet circles
spectrals pristinely nonviolent
unclapping
unwhistling
uncalling
unspeaking
unseeing
unhearing
untasting
panhistoric

Resiliently compassionate unattachment
yet re-membering ego's ecosystemic potential

Individualistic Yang autonomous
competitive 
without sufficient Win/Win Yintegrity

Longing for immortal resilience
yet competitively extracting capital 
for furthering patriarchally red 
monoculture predative led
ecofeminist hunts
fearing multigenerational identity strings
of under-developed white male straight things
reactively unregenerative

Punishing
revengeful empty of heart
competitive win/lose mind 
familiar monotheistic Path

Devolutionary Lose/Lose devoted
to long-term DeathCulture
as a necessary unnatural evil
for short-term capitalized spiritual 
straightwhite gains

Desecrating Green/Blue EarthHealth
dividing secular new from sacred old 
deals co-invested in gospel recommitment
redemption

Post-millennial
post-pandemic
post-climate trauma
ego-salvation

Engaged InterFaith EarthVocations
for ecosystemic power and light
cooperative democratic,
not quite so relentlessly RightWing
LeftBrain overpoweringly autocratic,

Indigenous green wisdom
about interfaith power and lights
steer multigenerationally regenerous wide
of further Business Ain't Pretty
unnecessary win/lose compromises

InBetween business bottom green ecological lines
and religious upper 
outer blue/green recycling
revolving horizon resource issues
eco-theological

Sublime unitarian longings
natural power and spiritual light stewed
in sufficient gratitude 
for outdoor green/blue solitude
reproducing universal co-invested peace
through everyday grace
of compassionately sufficient belonging
to what is healthy 
resonant HereTruth
and may become wealthy
resilient NowBeauty.
