My Social Science Seminar
I asked my Sacred Arts and Science professor
why seminars work and play better in feminist circles
than claustrophobic minion lines
of lectured from teacher's desk
above
S/he sings
in rings
of paradox,
"When you ask about warm creative
safe-feeling circles
and not defensive feeling lines of waiting
for your ego-identified return,
You also speak of integral compassion
and not disintegrative dispassion,
of pleasure
and not pain
and loss
and suffering
Deeply listening
and hoping
and anticipating win/win health safety choice
and wealthy consensus voice
and healthy co-investment
and wealthy co-attachment
and healthy cooperative
democratically diverse governance
Green polycultural sacred arts
and natural science
of healthy neuro-organic bodies
and EarthMother's
sacred environmental space
And not wanting
degenerative unwealthy minds
in severed dogmatic
long despairing Business As Usual
seemingly endless We lines
of repressing "Me" time."
And then it was time to leave
our outside encircling classroom
for another week
of solo inside pondering
What are my repurposing goals
in life's retiring transition?
To enlighten
and empower
a good wealthy
and healthy living-song/dying-dance
reconnecting/disconnecting process
To grab hold of circled hands
and heads for EarthTribe beauty
and hearts for passion
and bodies for pleasure
In letting go of AnthroPowerful
ugly sedating
and severing lines
of endless Me
and NotWe
antagonistic angers
monotheistic fears
kleptocratic verbose awe
and anxious autocratic
win v lose 0-sum debate
Internally conflicted
about empowering neuro-systemic realities
of singing resonant circles
religioning
co-invested dancing feet
struggling with sacred Earth
defensive defeat
Glistening bodies
listening minds
engaging resilient pleasure
empowering resonant co-passions
disempowering lost AnthroMind anxieties
about sacred sung orgasms
and other peak EarthBodied dances
Of sacred muses co-engaging
communion arts
and social science circles
warmly regarding EarthTribe's
synergetic neurodiversity
Surrendering our most deeply cherished
impassioned minds
dark dreaming ego-death
of my less than sacred
arts and natural healing
pleasant kinds
Rehashing what might become tonight
extending tomorrow's win/win
compassionate mind
for empowering sacred bodies
within re-circling pleasures
Healthy arts
and environmental science
religioning healthy wealth
reconnecting rounds
of GreenTribe songs
dancing EarthMother's
co-empathic opportunity
amusingly refound
rebound compassion circles
Living well repurposed
dying hell retirement.
