Seeking Wealthier Questions
Said the evangelical
straight white male
God-privileged Pastor
to the UU lesbian black ecofeminist
Reverend:
You are not feeding your flock,
You are not spiritually nurturing
with scripture teaching,
You are not preaching
religious family value answers
Your faithful community
remains hungry for divinely inspired fulfillment,
redemption,
salvation from Heaven v Hell ambivalence
about moral and civil
Health v Pathology
values v disvalues
degeneratively equivalent
to regenerative equity
and communal interdependence
in Christ's still-active
hopeful
faithful Holy Spirit
Of Patriarchal LeftBrain Thesis
as also Feminist RightBrain AntiThesis
cooperatively regenerating
ecotherapeutic mentoring
experience co-arising ego-recentering
deep listening
dipolar speaking
health and win/win
cooperatively-held
co-invested safety,
Our faithful want empowering wealth
of enlightening non-violent communion,
sacred
holonic co-attachment memories
of Christ's gospel passion.
Said the lesbian black ecofeminist
in curious response:
You are right
to perceive your sacred
patriarch-worshipping
capital competitive
win/lose redemption accounting,
nature v spirit theological flock
Gathered in individualistic search
for eco-political Truths,
One right-wing Way
to eternally benign Life
of unhealthy theocracy,
for psycho-neurological Means
to optimize win/win restorative justice,
For multicultural-historical co-developing Lives
on Earth's multi-regenerational
democratizing
humanely enlightening
natural GoldenRule
for co-investing
in holy
sacred Black/Green EarthSpirits
Non-Zero Sum
Wide Open Systemic
Yang/Yin
UniversalEgo/UnitarianEco non-violent communicating
Pulpit provided orthodox answers
straight from God's unwavering
unilateral
tradition-invoking Voice.
But you are wrong
to suggest this is also true
of our faith community,
cooperatively owned and managed,
co-invested in our synergetic search
for better win/win outcome questions
Rooted in natural/spiritual nondualistic experiences
LeftBrain psychologically explained
and RightBrain neurologically asked
with both/and
ego/eco-therapeutic
win/win prejudice
against LeftBrain dominant either/or
win/lose undemocratic
unchanging
degenerative egopatriarchal-capitalist
unsystemic
non-compassionate
not co-empathic
absence of successful multiculturing communion
Secular ecological relationship
and sacred theological communication,
Analogically static-spatial
and metaphorically flowing-temporal,
CoVisioning dynamic health empowering Left
and co-arising integral wealth enlightening Right

Where your folks expect you
to sell them some ready-made answers,
Our UU folks request

about empowering global natural health care
