With thanks to my sister, Kerry.

Communion reversed grows feelings of narcissistic isolation. Isolation reversed invites empowering cooperation. Cooperation reversed requires competitive capitalization. Capitalism begets Win/Lose strategic Business as bottom economic line Usual. BusinessAsUsual begets monocultural monopolistic fantasies. Monopoly Win fantasies beget monotheistic loyalty games speaking patriotism whispering worship. Monotheistic loyalty begets isolation. Isolation reversed invites active communion, a verb sacredly familiar as secular cooperation Cooperation co-arising polypaths toward WinWin Futures, economically secular and politically sacred communion abhors mere capital monotheistic underinvestment. Monotheistic isolation reversed grows feelings of polyphonic communion, resilient ecology, resonant theology. The silence of sacred trees branching and the secular sounds of trees shedding branches nearby is not yet overhead, nor peacefully overheard.
