Sad Kindness

Neither happiness or sadness can preclude each other's continued personal political and economic, social and psychological, sensory and neurological potentiality If only because sadness has something to teach us about happy health and sad pathology, About EarthCentric virtuous circles competing with AnthroPrivileged vicious exploitation, About this possibility of creative and regenerative v destructive and degenerative climate tensions, chronic intentions competing against healthy win wealthy wintegral attention If only because MotherTrees and other EarthFeminists are not the only virtuous circling rings slow-growing revolutionary spirals capable of merging imagining remembering reconnecting restoring green justice Pleasures in Eden's MotherTree ReGenesis of both win/win Health and epic win/lose to lose/lose Pathology of Extraction Cannot preclude each other's continued InFormative restorative justice and green peace potentiality If only because climate pandemic pathology has something to social political economic win/lose distancing teach us about happy anticipation v sad anxiety, About win/win v win/lose ecopolitical strategy, leftwing multiculture-valuing healthy global democracy v rightwing monoculturing straight white privileged evangelistic AnthroSelf-righteousness Sadly willing to compromise current and future regenerations of green resilient global community, co-passionately happy communication, sacred communion. Economic kleptocracy hiding between anti-green libertarianism and AnthroNationalistic Patriotism sadly EarthBound unfreedom to commit fully to Earth's multiculturally polyculturally healthy GreenPeace and Freedom from rightwing fundamentalistic either/or win individualism or lose to interdependent socialism, Ruminating unhealthy All or Nothing self-redemption stories confusing disvalues for uniformity with social values for unity, Defaulting stuckness in debates competing for military-industrialized supremacy for resiliently strong values felt within flowing interdependent dialogical waves of pre-historically timeless win/win values for Whole EarthSystemic Patriotism Still happily hidden in dipolar co-arising apposition, in-between positive wonder and negative awe, between economic potential for global climate health and local ecologically integrating, multiculturally interdependent political wealth Of gladness for ecofeminist kindness and not so many pandemic patriarchal climates of unhealthy autonomously depressing social distancing divisive deductive reductive left v right winged sadness.
