Healthy Arts
A sometimes Yin
sometimes Yang
climate health advocate,
reading Thich Nhat Hanh,
unlyrically speaking of the Arts,
Muses of Communication,
creating resiliently wealthy Community,
S/he warmly considers
Why is such a simple book
so difficult to remember,
and breathfully incarnate?
Soaring through each chapter
for the third time
in less than an historic decade,
She notices
before "Art of Communicating"
Thich Nhat Hanh wrote
Science of "Fear."
Fears about courageously communicating
even within our left and curious right hemispheres
about either/or
thought v feeling
dominating Western sciences
for dualistic cognitive nature v emotive spirit research
overpowering both/and Eastern acts of compassion,
compression
expansion
S/he holds these sacred communion keys
close within his vest,
listening for peaceful control
of that which leaves her
listening impassioned nest.
She speaks harmonic mantras
for love of understanding
when suffering arises
so too do fear
and stressed out waiting ominous boredom,
without nurtured lives of courage
climate planning.
Despite lapse of peaceful memory,
s/he's more mindful now of vocational communions
in global interweaving communities
continuing resilient international health communication
When s/he practices
zen re-reads
time re-practices
curious compassions
overwhelming Western fear-filled praxis.
