Rear View Mirror

Why does a powerful moment of passion,
of inspiration
often feel like need for immediate ego-expiration,
harvesting over-filled compassion?

Why a need to breathe in
followed by back out exhalation
to share, virally spread
a tool for relationship-building
through impassioned out-pathic communication?

Why does a moment of life lived fully,
ecologically co-relational,
often feel accompanied by an ego-death copay?
Theologically disconnected,
released,
lost,
yet ecologically reconnecting
repurposing regenerations.

Why does quality of mortal health
come at quantitative cost
of immortal self-sacrifice?

Why does faith
lived fully in multiculturing community
often derive from win/lose fragmented loss
of over-powering theological confluence,

Why does 
stagnant tolerance substitute for dynamic peace,
win/lose patience for win/win well-being,
whole heartedness?

Why do monotheistic aspirations replace catholic global consciousness,
and why does eternal damnation seem to trump timeless compassion?

Why does climate health
often feel like a reborn end
to global win/lose climates
of pathology?
Internal yin as external yang
right mind as co-passioning left brain
ecofeminist as non-patriarchal experience
green integrity as immortal red strength's potential
resonance as harmonic
interdependently polyphonic as universally polypathic
past eulogy as promised future integrity?

Why mortality 
of secularized, segregated ego
rather than immortality
of EarthTribe's sacred trans-regenerations?

Why spatial polypathic quantities, degenerating
rather than
temporal polyphonic qualities, regenerating?

Why left brain either/or dominant
rather than
right mind both/and prominent 
yang yintegrity?

Why zeroism's empty future information
rather than zeroistic fully inspired past exformation?

Why depressive ego-dying courage
rather than impressive eco-living curiosity?

Why anxious climate
world view
and not cooperative climate of anticipation
view of Earth?
