Reflection On Earth's Interview

When asked what skill sets I hoped to bring Her local ecology of justice for nurturing, I was not prepared. But, one of two internal wisdom projects, still in process, I'm ego-working on, eco-role playing with, is non-violent communication, so I mentioned this to the Trees and other WiseElder youth nutritional developers Young, poised and elegant, soft-spoken yet articulate and straightforward and with integrity of authentic curiosity, She asked me "What do you mean by non-violent communication skills? Does that mean you invite, rather than demand, responses by mentoring them while listening for co-present hiding Wins then Both/And speaking then WinWin listening again?" "Or are you still working on healing OldSchool communication issues, dominating patriarchal Left by diminishing ElderMatriarchal Right?" "Are you still working on non-violently violating people with your body aggressive hands and patriarchally mendacious voice and homophobic and xenophobic marching against green ecofeminist sacred feet and blatantly exhibiting LeftBrain rabid totalitarian deductive-reductive dominance and Trumpian: I'm just a bad bully boy with a redblooded colonizing heart testosterone twittering?" I wasn't expecting that line of questioning. But I found it really interesting that a freckled nose brown-skinned young and beautiful, inside and outside ego and eco-core centered investigative interviewer would need to ask that of a white U.S. male at this critical moment of last non-violent hope breathlessly waiting for a WinWin communicated response inviting cooperative ego/ecological polypathic climates reversing pathological monoculturing decades of business as competing WinLose usual Now post-millennially reborn green inviting integrity of PositivEnergy Democracy non-violently inciting restorations of multicultural EarthJustice SpaceTime co-arising further EgoLeft-EcoSacredRight ripe for ZeroZone theological healing. But, that's the other skill set I'm sacred ecological RightBrain STEAM green writing with-- much too revolutionary for any first time PositivEnergy impression. Maybe we could go there next 2020 Revolutionary time.
