Notes About The Poem

Implicitly inspired by Thich Nhat Hanh's "The Art of Communicating", a nutritional health/pathology walk through noticing and practicing, planting and harvesting, compassionate ego/eco-therapy. And Iain McGilchrist's "The Master [Mistress] and his [her] Emissary."

Lonely Nest

Loneliness,
of individuals,
like me,
of families,
like mine,
of uncommunioned communities,
and nation-states,
like ours,

Loneliness leads insufficient capacity
to prophecy everyone's collective interdependence,
and thereby remains partially blind
to Win/Win optimal health/wealth outcomes,
which could not be monopolized
by experiential loneliness
felt internal sadness 
monoculturing.

By inviting risk to shift,
nudge,
notice personal/political Lose/Lose depreciations,
bucket lists of long-standing tensions,
causing unhealthy cognitive/affective dissonance
unresiliently stuck in slow ego-depreciating mortality,
absence of furthering resonant appreciative-inquiry belonging
within this
and each
and every
timeless Win/Win left-brain fragmenting
ego-prominent compassion-nest
self/other-perpetuating cooperative polypaths
implied within each unprophetic deeply pre-ingested
re-ingesting healthy/wealthy moment,

Trans-rationally spiraling not not ego/ecotherapeutic self-care,
a dynamic healing enthymematic ZeroZone
away from repressive solid OneNest walls
of silently atoning loneliness,
onelinest
healthy hoping toward impressive implicit webs
for pregnant metaphoric
meteoric Earthiness,
EarthTribe 2020 nest.
