Memorial Wounds

Today we honor those who paid our price of violence to protect us from each Other's mono-colonizing excesses, we remember deep respect for those who have done their best when this was too often not sufficient to return to a resonantly healthy life together in their own families, prior spacious loves now fenced and ruined. We recognize and would redeem returns to less peace found in Business As Usual uncivil re-immersion. We wonder with our unowned feelings and stranger-anxiety thoughts, reverberating through second generations of militarized domestic stress, about seductively monopolistic economic and reductively monotheistic nationalistic political values without CommonSense win/win humane enterprise. How and when holy patrimonial wars and systemic RightWing terror might politically re-erupt and economically corrupt this dark premonitional MemorialNight silence of EarthMothers' green organic health Day celebrating springtime wealthy forests, panentheistic eco/neuro-systems inter-re-ligioning HolySpirit EarthNatural indigenously wise preparations for a robustly peaceful and prosperous Fall harvest With no sacred EarthMother need to invoke GodTalk blessings to honor those who pay OneFather's price of violence to protect us from each Other's monopolistic nationalistic anthro-supremacist straight white privileged preoccupations fear and anger triggering multi-generational systemic militarized trauma win/lose neurosystemic drama of monotheistic GodTalk ideations.
