How Many Holidays
How many times have I heard?
The family that prays together
stays together
And, the family that eats together
stays together
I know from personal Holiday
and every day
experience,
neither of these is necessarily true.
However,
I wonder if the family that sings
and/or dances together,
does stay together,
if only in our dreams.
And how many times have I thought,
and sometimes said?
If not broken,
do not fix.
If Holiday celebrations
are not broken,
then no reason to start singing
and/or dancing
now,
avoiding climatic catastrophe
by creating
and recreating
EarthPeace eucatastrophe.
Only fix fractures
when crumbling climates
are painfully obvious losses
Is a profound example
of LeftBrain Business As Triumphantly Usual
bipolar idealism
Either we are depressingly broken already
Or we are not yet sufficiently flawed
in our current competitive consumer mania
Polarized thinking
predicts selfishly predative feelings,
like marching in vicious squares
rather than choosing
to sing in virtuous circles.
Reduced to merely secular
devolutionary devotion,
Or not yet feeling naked loss enough
for a sacred solstice
revolutionary caroling
song and dance
midnight flashmob
massive howl event.
Fracturing doubts
perilously ignore intuitive warnings:
feeling masked alone,
so not extended family exposed,
never threatening to sing a kind line
or dance risky emotional steps
toward resonant healing
LeftBrain doubts
about losing control
of soberly reasonable celebrations
reminds me that most thought
and felt relationships working now
are threatened by unraveling climate decay,
by natural organic lifetime limitations,
by dysfunctional silence,
by mortal fears
and breaking anger disorders,
By denial of sufficient individual survival
through self-perpetuating love
sufficient for fixing Ever After.
Frequent flyer Left lyrics
devoid of Right rhythmic tone,
Secularized monotheism
not yet open toward sacred panentheistic
song and dance systemic communications
co-arising cognitive/affective resonance
feeling verbalizing thoughts:
If not yet unhealthy broke,
zero-sum bankrupt,
in traumatic competitive
shouting consumptive hate
and all-consuming anger
and consumer fear of crisis,
then what?
Perhaps deep listening
for feelings sung
and needs danced out
with those who do appreciate
individual sacred egos
are win/win made
to become half Other warm
ecosystemic environments
of wellness planning
unbroken,
undivided,
reassociating Trust
Reconsidered in here
healing musical space
through eternal now not hurting,
killing,
hurling time
Win/Win bicameral
dipolar co-arising engagement
ego/eco-systemic
resilient unbroken anthro health
is true resonant holiday
and every day wealth,
Earth environmental deep learning
from win/lose brokenness
toward future win/win reweaving
song and dance
LeftEgo/RightEco therapeutically cooperative
mending mindfulness
of integrity's potential
for resonant healing
individual isolating events
of felt broken climates,
Pre- and/or Post-traumatic stress
inherited from past falling short,
narrow,
shallow everyday present awareness
Intuitively wanting to fix future
traumatic lose/lose awkward
and malforming breaks
and win/lose competitive risks
threatening long-term consumer malfunction,
and win/win synergetic mindbody integrity
of ego songs
and fire circle eco-dances

With winBody/winMind synergetic integrity
of ego dancing
