Twenty Three Thousand Days

I have been counting the days and nights,
23,427 so far,
no two exactly the same
just as no two snowflakes
precisely duplicate a common design structure.

Having received over 23,000 days and nights
to get my act together,
this day, right now,
culminating my entire story line
about how I came to become 
communicating
and miscommunicating
and sometimes discommunicating here 
and
now as mindful organic bodies must 
intend sacred integrity all along
somehow.

Each of those thousands of days
invested in what cannot be purchased
or demanded.

Therapists call this investment in health.
Mom called it love.
Spiritual guides know re-ligious 
regenerative
reconnecting integrity's communion intent 
as deep mind/body listening wisdom
and divine grace.

Evangelists praise this multisensory thrival experience
of organically sacred communication as goodness
and righteousness
and not unnatural atheistic leftist mess.

Artists name it Beauty
and indigenous Muses 
nonverbally
and nonviolently communicate
EarthMother's primal empowering relationship
with FatherSun's enlightenment
as unboundaried 
fearless ecological co-relationship
peace-fulfilling re-ligious
SacredMind/OrganicBody trust
in peak communion experiences.

Philosophers call authentic communication Truth;
which is not irreligious discommunicating False.

Economists call community-inclusive win/win co-investment 
abundantly resilient cooperative wealth,
what cannot be sufficiently earned
yet can never become overly reinvested,
gifting compassionate communication
pro-actively forward.

Through thousands of high purposed 
well-sung days
and deep ecology drifting sifting 
wellness dancing nights
no more or less ready for final down payment
than that first invested breath,
23,427 nights ago.

Perhaps a more mature love communication
would prefer I stop counting my impatient
lack of peaceful EarthTribe belonging days.

To stop counting the cost 
of irreligious discommunication
at least sounds like a more generously evangelical co-investment 
engaging this actively curious 
peace-seeking SacredMind/OrganicBody
in perennially recycling love life

No longer counting the days and nights,
no two exactly the same
just as no two mind-full neurosystemic bodies
precisely duplicate a divine design structure.

You can spend a lifetime deciphering what is and what is not, then how to perceive and term each intent. It doesn't keep each of us from trying though :)
