Rev. Gerald Dillenbeck Poet Political Verse

Old Taoists Always Die

I'm a 68 year aged
ecofeminist Taoist,
Yin Unitarian and Yang Universalist
in a bicameral
dipolar co-arising 
Left/Right-UnWinged EarthCentric kind of way

Where "permacultural"
presumes death
and resumes life,
both multiculturally held together
in win/win organically optimized resilience

Depolarizing,
restorative Green EarthJustice
and eco-resonant interfaith green peace
through co-passionate communication

Which was an undergraduate fascination for me
before moving on to graduate work
in public economic health administration
and, before that,
in seminary,
theologically reflecting on multicultural themes
in neuro-sensory experiences
memories
liturgies
images
icons of AnthroCentric Divinity;

A self-righteously chosen Humane Species
with a long patriarchal
predative history
of inhumane hegemony

Inspired by erupting dominance
of left-brain deductions,
either/or fundamentalistic reductions
of right-brain intuitive inductions,
both/and feelings of ambiguity
between strength of ego-political democracy
and flow of ecological interdependence,
between ego's identity
and our win/win ecosystemic habitats
through resonant multicultural wealth

So my own healthy future
feels most likely
while swinging back and forth
in my boundary zone hammock
on my back screened porch
on this dark yet moonlit autumn evening

Appreciating an indigenous-spirited warmth
light breezed watching for stars of light
emerging through backlit clouds 
from WestWind future regenerations
of Zero/One
Yin/Yang dipolar co-arising
inside/outside

Back and forth
across bilateral time-centering space
on sacred
cooperative
eco-enormous richness
in this life and death
in-between ungraduated place.
