View From a Sanctuary

He retired to his sanctuary on the Eastern shore of the Thames River three years ago, an often frustrated permaculture organizer for building cooperative social health by creatively communicating climate wealth growing ZeroZone positive multicultural tao-energy. This proves reclusively frustrating in large part because non-taoist neighbors and family are unfamiliar with his iconic universal mountain and unitarian valley language and green cooperative health faith in democratic natural/spiritual absence of violent communication and perfect vacuum of conspiracy theory prejudice. His RightBrain eco-centrism LeftBrain deductive/inductive bicameral integrity search, His bilateral historic future synergy, trilateral energy dynamics, quad-lateral nutrition cycles playing virtuous WinWin health games more than vicious WinLose capitalistic dualistic WinLose ZeroSum theories growing internal spirit against external nature, personal against political, ego against eco-therapeutic competitions which could become cooperative constituents with secular/sacred longings for love as red sky morning warnings greet coral sky dusk. Love growing boisterously loud contagious courageous curious grace meeting hearts this day bilateral greeting hearts this night bicameral dreaming meeting hearts tomorrow multilateral beating integrity hearts bicameral this tomorrow's integral night absorbing ultra-violet sight. His new home lies on the Thames River flowing between Norwich, former blue heron sanctuary giving life and feeding Old Green EarthTribes watering downriver to reforest New London's community gardens, cooperative artisans, green motherland trusters, Black ProLives Matter Allies, United MultiCultural Green Ethicists, coastal bands, liturgical dancers, fire-circle story-tellers and peace activists, restorative EarthJustice advocates. He has been humbled by crippling Norwich need for more nutritious green blue heron spaces and street entertainers gardeners repurposing public spaces dancing nutritional arts and ecovillage well-schooled sciences And has experienced rebirth in New London green parties hosting organic legions of multicultural youth leaders struggling with recreating non-violent communications supporting a cooperative casino potlatch economy re-investing in Thames River CoOperative Enterprises. This WiseElder hears his River flowing land-trust neighbor refer to herself in ultra-violet starlit language transporting Old Green EarthTribe's Main Street for historically cooperative constitutions incorporating permaculturing development of polycultural songs sung by polypathic tidal waters competing up and cooperating down Reflecting crystal star light throughout effluent non-violent nights remembering reweaving dancing sunlight therapeutic days when love beats love, beauty meets beauty, trust invites trust, faith predicts faith, hope omits fear. This Green EarthTribe River feels familiar growing up in an extended farm family still pushing and pulling out WiseElders exploring cooperative ecopolitical climates restoring peaceful organic forests tree-lined nutritional MainStreet Rivers surrounded by surprisingly self-managed meadows, healthy ego ecosystems inhabited by wealthy cooperative EarthTribe memories transubstantiating constitutional healthy non-violent communions indigenous with colonial wildly democratic and yet conservatively explosive Evolution glowing in a revolutionary ********.
