How To Enchant

I finished reading Sharon Blackie's Enchanted Life yesterday. Kind of a How To Do It, a how to fix BusinessAsUsual textbook organically rooted in animism, I suppose a theologist and maybe an enchanted ecologist, might duly note Although animists are not distracted, usually, by systematic theologian theories and conjectures about becoming resilient sacred healthy wealth. Animists are more practical theologians, learning by dynamically doing cooperative relationships and mutually respectful reflections on these sacred communions, and sometimes even competitive eco-relationships competing with MotherEarth's sense of revolutionary timing to build our richest sufficient space as resiliently and fluidly as possible. Practical theology, like good pastoral theology, like good non-violent communication and being healthy climate manifest and becoming wealthy destiny and doing dynamic health/wealth skill sets, is about how we are each called to fix pathology, to live every green enchanting day by cooperatively communicating to restore full benign being communion and revolutionary becoming and polypathic doing bicamerally ego/eco left/right yang/yin polynomial/polycultural natural/spiritual practically speaking as we make everyday bilateral choices for our own and for our grandchildren's enchanted thinking and animist feeling, seeing 2020 through both global and local EarthJustice lenses. I do feel a little more positive glimpsing ecstatic hope by actively seeking enchanting justice pathways ego-homeless in a pilgrim journalist kind of way, longing to fully be Here with Now, Space with Time communal YangResilient with YinResonant co-relational By resonating with nature's robust spirit investing in wildly evolving forests, boundary areas, WinWin frontiers of blissful everyday eco-centeredness chasing rainbows, musical octaves, fractured fractals, safely enchanted in and on, with and for, EarthJustice Enchantment entitling first through last lived chapters, limned by resilient resonant revolving nightdreams.
