Old Run Ins and Outs
Ran into an old friend
just the other day.
Has to have been
50 years
another way.
She made that big mistake
of asking what I've been up to.
Well, I've been studying
systematic multicultural theology
and, then, regenerative ecology.
Oh,
that sounds nice.
Probably keeps you out of trouble.
Yes, well, I guess it is nice,
but not trouble-free.
Another word
might be "athletic."
Like soccer?
More like gymnastics
and long distance running.
Anyway,
have you ever heard of Process Theology?
It has a first Christian cousin
in Creation Theology,
Brought to us sytematically
by Matthew Fox,
but also rooted more experientially,
synergetically,
by both Eastern and Western nature/spirit mystics.
Well, sounds like I have some homework
to do--to catch up.
Just Google process theology
or creation theology
or, better, both
and see if you can see
positive correlations
for those with ears
to hear.
Ok, well, thanks.
I'll get right on that.
Then, look up regenerative ecology,
restorative environmental justice
and try creation ecology--
and maybe positive psychology's Theory of Original Matriarchal Attachment.
See if they all sound alike
more paradigms for sprouting polypathic
feeding
watering
nonviolent ecological communication
and experiential regenerative theology.
Well, my goodness!
Look at the time...
Exactly,
the space within bilateral time,
Here within timeless Now,
Yang strong atoms
Yin flowing spiraling strings of waves,
LeftBrain dominant monoculturalism
undermining RightBrain prominent multicultural communication
unfolding in-between
chaos and complexity
Alpha and Omega
One and Zero bionic
bilateral double-binding
bicameral
natural ecological egos
and spiritual theological-neurological eco-habitats
sacred within as climates secular without
health reforming multicultural wealthy experience,
collateral compassions
of Zero NonSum-ologies;
Each of these
WinWin strategies
for healthy resilient systems.
Sorry,
had to check my texts.
Kids, you know.
Never stop being a responsible parent
or friend.
Were you still talking?
If a verbal communicator
stands
or sits
or squats in a forest
of non-listeners,
is the cooperative communicator speaking
or just talking within myself?
