Today Is Different

Today is assiduously religiously different, as I review our local RiverEast News. Every week Mike Thompson writes a solid Editorial in a compelling voice. I expect to only add my hearty sacred happy secular "Amen!" Our nearly fearless Editor and Chief calls for political "ACCOUNTABILITY!" like so many others on bipolarizing Left through Right, And those still hanging on with battered nails to quickly fading dipolar in-between HAVE-NOT anthrocultured primacy race and HAVE cash class co-empathic consciousness that renters and owners need each other like borrowers and banks yet feel as competitively apart as victims and predators, droning prey and patriarchal colonizers Insurrectionists, nihilistic HAVE-NOT anarchists military industrialized invade our sacred capitalistic space, so now, I read, "there needs to be accountability." I do not disagree, BUT... AND would you not agree our shared future will be healthier, and co-investing wealthier, if predators claim their own responsibility for exceeding civil and civic democratically green cooperative authority through more slow-grown health and safety discernments, dialogos Rather than passionate placards preferring hot and sometimes armed debate drama extraction capture imprisonment enslavement debacle bacchanalia, angry selfie Theater Fueled by manufactured Bud more than ancient cannabis buds of ReFormed GreenHippy Communions. Our angry Editor lashes nationalistic Republicans out of town, especially the transcendently unEarthly Vice-Patriarchal Pence, from above his bloody fray praying for "healing" and "unity," He's not even multiculturally close enough for government work invoking a sacred benediction through end of term WHITE ACCOUNTABILITY! of blind injustice, thus retributively unequitable punishing non-mercy served against irresponsible angry words, intolerance and violently desecrating actions. Interesting, I also hear President Biden passionately praying for "healing" and "unity" sacred unitarian communitarian Unity, and more silent about punishing justice held up to public scrutiny of LeftBrain dominant, Personal Account Ability-- not so much RightBrain felt flowing prominent, CoResponsivility. Retributive justice of Accountability is for punishing the autonomously unchanging guilty. Restorative justice of CoResponsive Responsibility is for healing and resiliently lasting peaceful maturing change, healthy interdependent unity; not so much wealthy impunity, wounded EarthChild immunity By divesting of autonomously unEarth-responsive economic anthropocentric capital apartheid gains and politically privileged responsibility of patriarchal capitalistic military-industrialized monoculturing capacity, corporate empowered supremacy, anthro-irresponsible intent, lacking health wealth integrity. Why is it, Mr. Editor, I wonder wander as I moondrift flow along, Why is it more important or realistic or essential to punish before moving on to heal; to set apart and imprison, to judge and shame and blame, before reconsidering unity through faithful multicultural dialogue? This militant-first weapon preference seems to reflect Chief RedCommander inciting rhetoric echoing Hitler's strengths of hate and violence and deadening threat of powerful justice developing full-throttle exclusively through our patriotic overpowering automatic rifled position of autocratic STRENGTH! To hold the Alien EcOther revengefully Accountable. Actually, as I dimly recall my own unfortunate experiences with punishment for being too deviantly greengay too liberally loving among rampant red conserving viral heterosexuality, GoldenRule healing honey warmth mercifully restores healthier kinder wealth of personal political co-empowering responsibility, responsive resilient integrity Nonviolent communication includes inviting proactive practice of compassionate therapy through restoring green/blue justice, pursuing multicultural color seasoned just right/left pace of EarthSecular SacredPeace, More polytheistically matriarchal than monoculturally LeftBrain soulless solely Accountable for missing opposite experience opportunities more typically therapeutic and conveniently, even co-responsibly, CoOperative building felt/known truths building healthy democratic, wounded but recovering Trust. I'm thinking I learn more powerfully not from Strength, but uncapitalized weakness, fluidity, both/and nuance, empowering eco-political co-responsibility and disempowering ego-individualistic accountability, publicized felony revenge and misdemeanor scorn Distract from wider experience deeper Light exploring my own disconnected woundedness evolving lonely feelings of win/lose mortal brokenness Past failures in responsive civil commitment to cooperatively hold responsive responsible comments and cherish democratic sacred space at home, reading the weekly paper, and WholeEarth abroad, Rather than my boldest debates to strongly compete in high risk unforgiving unrebates armed and violent confrontations overtaking hopeful compassions For fear felt alarming punitive messages using win/lose weapons of strong obfuscation, which irresponsibly demand that EcOthers be held apartheid Accountable for lack of healthy healing, cooperative unity, co-governing skills for building resiliently healing trust transparently struggling through ongoing inclusive dialogue growing solidarity relationships, Religiously essential to any healthy democratic natural spiritual experience, constitutional familial, anthro-centric eco-systemic pre-pandemic health restoring, globally political climate wealth of personal cooperative economics Ecofeminist green newLeft/ancientRight nondualistic mind/body deals co-responsible resilient and polypathically resonant Ego/Earth co-investments In a different universally healing unitarian tomorrow.
