More Questions
Why is music
more emotionally important than rhetoric?
Why is grace-full dance
healthier than verbal prance?
So many public health questions
more important than private answers...
I question why
my faith community
provides sanctuary to legally-challenged immigrants
24/7,
And yet, has not actively opened our sanctuary
to local homeless and health-challenged emigrants from outside places
on Sunday mornings, nine to noon,
and during Wednesday evening choir practice,
and during Tuesday evening Green Sanctuary meetings
about Earth justice
and internal/external environmental-contextual fragility,
and other health challenges
for building multicultural well-being,
faith,
active hope
Resonant throughout this local place
and resilient throughout our global pace
monocultural race
of eco-theological climate space
and nurturing time
Sung in transparent octaves of music
more intuitively significant than rhetorical debate;
one heard cooperatively
and the other spoken to win ego-support
and loss to ecopolitical competitors,
Which is not criminal behavior
yet perhaps worthy of impeachment
and excommunication
for anti-communion behavior.
