Fourth in the Greatest Story Never Told series. The third is Green Sanctuary Propositions.

Within our Green Sanctuary
extensive proposal-writing family:

When did universal political salvation
become a uniform economy of non-redemption?

When did worshiping Earth's Divinity
become celebrating humanity's Humanism?

When did unitarian win/win webs
wombs
root systems
eggs
seeds
umbilical cords of compassion's DNA nutrition,
living forests,
dynamic oceans,
multiculturing climates,
robust atmospheres,
harmonic communions
resonant re-creation stories
become smug and self-satisfied win/lose evolution theories,
supported by side by side religious walls
of mutual theology-trumps-ecology exclusion
of right-brain felt inclusions?

When will we universal-leftbrain and rightbrain-unitarian nondually notice,
Yang with Yinclusive,
EgoPatriarch with EcoFeminist appreciate,
that "ecological exclusion",
like "military cognitive/emotive win/win intelligence"
is an extended anti-family oxymoron?
Both left-brain dissonant
and right-brain longing for healthier resilient resonance?

When do we remember
to celebrate competitive win/lose Labor Day
by growing 
and demarginalizing 
and uncommodifying
cooperative win/win grace-filled Play Day?
