Moving Through Urgent Forests

I claim a sit-spot in a wildlife sanctuaried forest just beyond my backyard, And cycle there while seeking a primary distinction between sexual and sensual feelings filters frames, Already peddling toward suggestions my motivations for this direction could be impure, prurient, certainly less than perfection, But, I am not right-brain deterred, This forest is my familiar territory where fools and wise men fear to tread on resonant ecofeminists. When seeking imagining experiencing remembering sexual possibilities and impossibilities, attractions and distractions and unattractiveness along my recycling way, these remain ego-centered self-serving egotistic patriarchal, left-brain economic-politically strategic, monoculturing further dominance. Sensuality is more interdependent, co-relational, co-empathic co-passioning integral intimate awareness of external mind touch with internal heart feelings, heart-pumping uphill and soul-relaxing downhill, inhilling and exhilling. Waves of contrast speak of comparative dipolar motivators more longterm both/and satisfying sensuality, Contradicted against shorterm dualistic urgency for my immediate sexual release, my internal-only organic polyvagal climax quickly moving from transcendent forest life to demi-segregating death, And then riding on in and out to reconnect with my ego/eco sit-spot with embodied sensual narrative of this one sacred/sexual life living polypathically lived rememory reliving naked forest life hopefully again and recycling pleasure seating again. Practice makes perfect, so our great everyday pilgrimage teachers messiahs boddhisattvas, ecofeminists one and all, say and do, ride and walk and talk with integrity's most resilient sexual/sensual/spiritual reforesting win/win public/private wealth reassur-dance transcendent/intimate global/local health potential.
