Power To Embrace Difference
St. Francis prayed for politically active
nonreactive empowerment
through serenity to change what we can,
and to walk away,
without loser disgust
but with winning acceptance
for what we cannot systemically
resiliently
internationally change
into a healthier wealthier climate
(yet).
St. Francis further asks
for winning wisdom to know the difference
To distinguish between HereNow penetrable
and NowHere impregnably
systemically persistent resistance
against a clear
and win/win resilient
eco-politically healthy
EarthWise wealth of wisdom,
short- through long-term,
individual through universal,
for restoring political community justice
and economically co-invested peace.
How could we possibly foresee
between untimely darkest hour
just before a window for global healing,
on one left hand,
and, on the right
now resisting dawn of light
time to win freedom for restoring
interdependent health
and EarthClimate justice wealth
Restoring systemic health
for winning resonant
resilient outcomes
for all EarthWealth
natural/spiritual
secular/sacred
fallen/co-arising
humane/divine Dwellers.
In this solitary,
nearly timeless, dawning
just before anticipating win/lose bipolar stuckness
in tight rebirthing tunnels,
resisting solidarity with a wounded and wounding
leftbrain dominant sub-optimizing system
StraightWhiteMale privileged
monoculturing further lose/lose nihilism,
capital mono-polistically valued fundamentalism,
dark supremacist evangelicalism
of original patriarchal capitalized monotheism
intentionally
and retributively punishing
economic losers
and political sinners
Not in favor of timely stepping out
into Earth's recovering ecofeminist wilderness
of co-responsibility,
as co-empathic Otherness
anticipating win/win Earth regenerative bicameral history,
Mystery of untimely times
and tolerating potentially intolerable
logistics for curiously sufficient eco-systemic resistance,
Wisdom to see difference
AND similarities
between Win/Lose
Win/Win wombed safe trajectories
and healthy just-now solitude
pleading against separating,
dissociating omnipotently hard
dark depression
quarantined from outside sight and sounds
of just right wombed at home,
And solitude
belonging in longing
for omnipresent wild winning ecosystemic impressions
enriched by recreative wisdom
of a resilient mountain forest
watered by glacier rivers
and foggy mists
in mystical
integral wrapping
nuancing multicultural clouds of wisdom
To notice what we cannot yet change
in Earth's naturally humane relationships
Here v Now,
we have already changed within
Earth's nature/spirited
humane/divine compassion
timely win to win systemic
Here as also Now
wild and usually outside
inside solitary
out and in integrity
for and from synergy
blue/green EarthWealth energy
of RightNow/LeftHere health systemic justice
dipolar co-arising
our EarthHealth solidarity.
