I Have Heard

I have heard it said,
Love your neighbor as yourself.

I listen with you
to how our neighbors become part of us
and not,
and how this feels healthy
and not
for you
and my potentially co-empathic neighbors.

I have heard it said,
Better dead than red.

I hear this fear.
But, for me,
better red balances with blue-green Earth
to regenerate ultra-nonviolent violet
regenerations of perennial healthy seasons
under kind and gentle moon light.

I've heard it said,
Be careful of which inside voices
I choose to listen to.

And, I've heard it said,
Regardless of peaceful
aggressive
violent
assertive
appreciative
attractive
connected mixed up feelings,
be quick to notice
label
commodify
stereotype
then move on
back into detached zero-zone quietude,
silence
iron-willed walled internal peace = probably not red-hate active rage,
however short-lived
upon opening new 2020 eyes.

You say to me,
Notice with active appreciation
our flow of right-brain potential treasure,

Golden Rule and Ratio shadows
in 4-dimensional prime-attachment RealTime
and sinister dualdark ego-less
disembodied soul shadows
teaching helpless lose/lose tragedy trajectories
of insufficient time to win/win heal,

To reweave internal/external climate health
bicamerally back and forth
in timelessly re-connecting
EarthHealth right-hemisphere sweet spot
climaxing here/now co-relational
ego/eco-therapeutic spacetime

While RealTime experience rediscovers left/right harmonic co-presence,
polypathic/polyphonic,
eco/theo-logical,
historically mused herstory,
logos sung mythologically,
where all our polynomial positive OneTegrities
equal all sacred Earth's zero not-not soul sums,
as YangForm notices,
with appreciation,
climax ego/eco-empowering
co-relational
co-passionate
co-present
co-invested not not YinFlow = YangForm

Of healthy multicultural communication
cooperatives overpowering competitives,
ecofeminist progressives
inviting egopatriarchal green reborn conservationists
for and of EarthJustice
liberally regenerative
DNA connections
and spacetime interwoven re-connections

Noticed
appreciated
absorbed
climaxed
creolized
transubstantiated
wondered
awed,
before and after moving on
to the next uniting
inviting universe of felt thought
curiously and courageously flowing
further integral holonic left/right consciousness
of health as wealth metaphors
secular as also sacred potential
ecology/theology synergetic integrity
of values/disvalues
healthy trust and unhealthy mistrust,
yin with dark yang-autonomous dominant historic memories
for deep loving EarthJustice education.

I've heard all this said
repeatedly
but not all jumbled together
in quite this disturbing way.
