Growing Trust

We do not listen or learn, sing or dance easily when we do not feel safe When we are not sure we can trust the voices not speaking and listening with us, but speaking over us, around us, against us, beyond us, without apparently caring about us Our Lose/Lose through Win/Lose neurosystemic imaginations are triggered by toxic anxieties Trauma anticipations infilling vast lands and oceans of omnipresent win/win uncertainty, win/lose insanity Reinforced by capital investment and patriarchal LeftBrain dominance in our would-be deeply green sacred GaiaFeminist compassionate listening learning dialogue in-between cooperative thought and compassionate feelings Longing for healthier safer more resonant and resilient educational support systems Engendering the robust trust that builds and maintains healthy democratic nonviolent communication for restoring EarthJustice inside/outside classrooms.
