Reasonable Anticipations
Our Left hemispheres repeatedly seek stable reassurance,
hopefully not so much about
Am I the fairest/ugliest
of ThemOthers all?
But more maturely
rationally
sedately
calmly
compassionately,
Am I sustainably healthy?
How am I healthy/unhealthy?
Eased/not diseased?
Meanwhile,
Right hemisphere follows a similar question
of healthy/unhealthy purpose,
but more intuitively systematic,
more about inter-relationship,
about felt content
and known embodied context.
If healthy
confluent consciousness,
then why
and when
are we physically
and mentally safe/unsafe?
A constantly repeated question
of healthy rational purpose,
or not,
But also,
more deeply,
more sacredly felt,
a quest for safe co-passionate meaning
in relationship to
and from
our progenitor gifts
Our indigenously wise
nature/spirit together felt fellow
hearty
hardy
hale anthro-familials,
Residents of spirit-natured
Yang mountain forests
and Yin river valleyed mellow meadows,
Animals,
animated insects,
birds and beasts,
bisexual flowers
and bilateral branch and root nutrition systems,
Bicameral hope
for bipartisan gifts
of bilaterally contextual
MeHealth and WeSafety intelligences
Binomially aware feelings
of why MeWe feels safer
on warm sunny days
and more unsafe
on cold dark nights
outside
Predicting
and appreciating how LeftBrain thinks
notices
processes
embodies
I am healthy
and unhealthy,
democratically green
renewably compassionate
and autocratically red
predatively virulent.
