Tolerating Intolerance
I cannot tolerate
those who are intolerant,
I cannot stand
those who take a stand
against unknown others
unlike themselves,
much less than we are truly
health and safety seekers
multiculturally alike.
I can tolerate anything
except intolerance,
most certainly including impatience with myself,
not excluding my esteeming
estimating
assessing
empathizing
sympathizing
realizing
without finalizing
self and others
as myself
in others
as myself
co-empathic within other
cooperatively tolerant relationships.
I cannot not multiculturally tolerate
monoculturally elitist tolerance
of injury to MotherEarth,
of patriarchal-capitalist
straight white incorporated privilege
of which I am so much an unwilling
and unwitting
and unwisely competing un-part.
I can tolerate anything
except intolerant exceptions
to multicultural GoldenRules
to love unto others
as I would be loved,
as I tolerantly,
yet impatiently,
without active curiosity
about afflicting win/lose experiential wounds,
love my left egoself
as eco-other
Best at loving
my more than tolerant
best and brightest ecosystemic Teacher,
Master,
Mistress,
Mother,
Father,
Outdoor GreenGodVoices and Inside Healthy EarthChoices,
CoCreators of all EarthTribes,
as my actively cooperative green Self
as part of LifeSystemic InterDependent Tolerance Habitats,
More of a right-hemisphere tolerated HumanTruth
is also left-hemisphere
awesomely unfathomable EarthBeauty
Sacred vocation into selfless worship
of His/Her barely tolerable comings
and goings,
solstice
and equinox,
inhales
and exhales,
yang tolerant strengths
and yintegrity's intolerance
of business as usual
lack of win/win
green cooperative inspiration
inhalations,
more tolerant intimations.
I cannot remain uncurious
about my own monculturing,
dualistic,
anthro-supremacist
Sacred EarthMother denialistic
pathological
pedagogical
apartheid tolerance
and disinvestments
away from cooperative polycultural EarthHealth Systems,
Care giving and receiving
democratic
social
public
biological
mental
animated
energetic
ecological
synergetic
pedagogical
theological
eco-political
healthy multi-systemic
poly-paradigmatic resilience
And so I ask
through my intolerably insatiable curiosity,
what is the greatest experience you have had
so far,
of self
as part of other?
And, my answer
ubiquitous in original gifted,
fore-given onto Earth's
vast green living birthday context
MultiColored in associated feelings,
ranging from
"everyday since ego's embodied birth
continues my grateful eco-celebration
of positive healthy neuro-psychological systems"
to
"everyday since has been hellishly
wounding downhill."
It is these latter intolerable losses
and sorrows
and sufferings
painfully defensive monoculturists,
like my egoSelf,
are most likely to impatiently challenge
my yin-flexible plasticity
toward restoring win/win active curiosity
Responding to such hopelessly naive
green optimism
with defensive win/lose intolerance
for risking active healthing hope
of wealthy faith
in lavishly liberal love
When all intolerably long debating
shouting
and highly competitive
corporate marketed evidence
of my lifelong miseducated
and diseducated unhealthy
win/lose normative economic
devolutionary
disempowering
disillusioning
inevitable and intolerable
lose only to mortally lose
nihilistic theorized experience
ignores all green signs
of fore-giving cooperative economics,
co-redemption messianic politics,
restorative justice,
non-violent communication networks,
organic polycultural systems designers,
democratizing health/wealth bicameral tolerance
Today too red egocentrically limited
to progressive green WinWinners
gifting forward political economies
supporting local win/win value communications
intentions
more than tolerant universal appreciations,
slow-grown sacred unitarian applications,
prayers,
anthems
To global green compassion,
far beyond mere tolerance,
for Earth's GreatCommons,
for Her Indigenous GreenCommunion
empowering present curiosity,
enlightening past habits
of patriarchal intolerance.
