Sacred Stewards
Stewardship
is taking cooperative care of what you don't own,
giving and receiving care
from what you could not rightfully own.
I could not exclusively own a symbiotic relationship,
a robust string of reiterative emerging communication,
a resonant relationship,
harmonic integrity.
I would most resiliently own nothing
without profound solidarity
lived in economic and politically empowering sanctuary,
free of colonizing intent
through capital-driven reductionism.
With a more ecofeminist cooperative stewardship
arises an ancient,
yet renewing, emerging win/win
bicameral co-passion,
Not about which transcendent spirits are up
and which beastly alien natures are down;
Not either divine
or human,
Not sacred
or reduced to mere mundane secularity,
Not mindfully transcendent
or mindlessly immanent,
Not supreme ecosystemic interdependence
or severely disassociated,
ego-uncentered.
Ecooperative stewardship
is about curious egos within
giving and receiving care
with and from courageous eco-life systems
interdependently cooperative,
more than hidden and competitive,
without prior resonant win/win association.
Stewardship,
both/and cooperative
more than either/or competitive,
bicamerally re-associates
restores
resonates
Left with Right bicameral thoughts with feelings
of warm care received from EarthWombed heritage
returned for Earth's active compassion given
as received,
Won
as mutually successful,
Divine
as also humane,
Sacred
as profoundly communioned EarthNature,
Ego rights received
as eco-responsibilities cooperatively given
shared
communicated,
Eco-empathically co-relationed,
theologically co-passioned.
