If I Were She

If I were S/He I would look downstream for a power so high this mythic enlightenment feels sacredly deep and widely therapeutic mystical in feeling, practical in application. If I were She I would declare a new Wisdom: National superpowers corrupt toward fundamentally polarizing RightWing dominance Just as global enlightenment heals toward evangelical gospel GreenQueen MotherEarth empowerment. If I were S/he I would break ballistics into cooperatively-owned shovels shares in bioregional GreenPeace non-violent warriors inviting never demanding health is wealth co-passions Planting peace with shade trees and berry bushes, pollinators grasses enriching sandy soils supporting water then remediated living waters rivers flowing toward deep wide surfing sea-sons And daughters eco-governing five-star reasons to both vacation and vocation in cooperative integrity. If I were S/He I would breathe out Holy Spirits and breathe back in sacred Father's SunLight Powers of bicameral contextual co-empathic ego/eco secular/sacred Great Green/Blue CoPassions For feminist economics supporting healthy MotherEarth green democratic biosystems deeply healthy and widely wealthy ecosystems, theologically SheCoLogical. If I were She I would first change all First Amendment Rights to fight with framed up free but misinforming speech and armed/threatening militarized monetized corporate-supported assembly; To CoResponsive Right to non-violent eco-politically accountable transparent speech and disarmingly vulnerable co-empathic Invocations, sacred cooperative economic visions of EarthTribe health care communion planning Enlightening copowers defending multicultural health and global LivingCreatures, BioSystemic ReCreation, EarthClimate Safety. Then our grateful Republicans, now having learned how to listen more conservationally Win/Win Green and healthy red-blooded matriarchal Don't Mess With Mama! and Her long-term health care plans To move Her great grandkids onto green tripartisan platforms, cooperatively owned both/and competitive plantations, organic farms with clean, pure, deep river-frontage, wide panoramic mountain views of externally Wondrous and internally Awesome Sacred Habitats Peculiarly South-faced filled with past resilient regenerative light of Holy Extended Family Ghosts of slaves illicitly unfree to love unredeeming fear and anger, hate and drunken self v Other loathing. If I were S/He I would grab on to Restoring Climate Justice with all our best non-violent, most joyful and liturgical, not dirgical, communication by at least letting go of Retributive FearPrivileged Punishments Yielding downstream wide and upstream deep co-empathically enlightening and cooperatively empowering Patriarchal CoPassions with Matriarchal S/He bicameral co-prominence Left out of RightWing capital acquiring zealous corporate plans to vote against HealthyGreen ecotherapeutic climates of feeling powerful liberating health and conserving enlightened EarthMother wealth Of EcoFeminist Wisdom, If I were S/He.
