To Solidarity

Do we still belong together, long to compassion with each other more than against? Do we still believe Earth is more of a regeneratively developing memory than a degeneratively unraveling lack of cherished experience? Can we still distinguish between organic becoming and autonomous mechanical being despite over-heated and windy climates of migrating left/right change, global west/east and U.S. nationalistic south v north and non-communal ambiguous faith commitments to commodifying capitalism and communal communion of saints and sinners, and anti-win/win compassionate parenting, and not not disassociative anthropocentrism, and chronically stressed win/lose egocentrism... I don't believe I have, and you have, and They have one right answer to this question of compassionate solidarity's true and trust potential. But I do have active faith we could create a safe discussion for ways we do still feel win/win healthier together than win/lose apart, and ways we do not, and in-between do not not, yet unresolved polynomials, networking interdependent paradigms toward healthier wealth. I do have active hope we could choose to hold us win/win wealthier together than autonomously apart, More resilient than further win/lose fragmentation of a healthy civil democratic liberal arts and sciences informed by original multiculturing wombed resonance great turning away from further degenerating our climate woundedly fracturing disempowering futures apart. A lifetime of win/win conversions comes down to how we everyday ask and every breath and heartbeat answer these questions, Do we still belong together, long to compassion with each other more than compete against?
