What I Owe

What I owe my kids their trees myself and you, A more cooperative way to learn and live and earn, An embrace of diversity, not an attack of I-win/U-lose perversity, Awareness of strength through vulnerability to become appreciated for our transparent integrity, out strengths, of course, but also weaknesses, teachers recognized for healing fractures in history's more benign synchronicity. What I owe myself and you and future regenerations, Mindful we are the Paradise of our nature/spirit Elder's aspirations, Conscious of fulfillment in nutritional-vocational prophecy and not just toxic extractive profligacy, Understanding compassion has two faces, matriarchal ecofeminist within patriarchal healthy-wealth equity without, engaged in interdependent becoming organic story-tellers and synergetic music singers and integral movement dancers in-between sacred native Promise and future creolizing Wisdom generations of past through future re-generators. This is my work in our pandemic climate time, the work of this non-polarizing privileged life longing for more universally therapeutic multicultural compassion, Climate healing, inside iconic ironic ionic co-acclimating communal outside integrity. I owe myself relearning natural/spiritual nondualistic listening spoken of by 4D spacetime revolving spiraling WiseElders. We owe each other polyphonic relationship long cooperatively held and co-managed with all eco-dancing healthy wealth of creation, for re-creation. I owe our children turning from the story of left- and western-hemispheric domination, climatic destruction, patriarchal white straight-male supremacist illness, to return to our new left/right West/East EarthTribe emancipation story rooted in 2020 bicameral cooperative re-vision re-volutionary health/wealth. Conscious co-creation of win/win humanity and eco-sacred ways of sanity, of loving and living and dying, being and becoming, birthing and rebirthing, developing and redeveloping secular ideas and multiculturally sacred feelings, integral compassions, cooperative research vocations of constant healing change Recognizing with humility, What I owe you our kids myself is that same cooperative economic and empowering passion our WiseElders hoped for restoring justice and global peace They secularly and sacredly naturally and spiritually, cognitively and emotively ego-healing and eco-therapeutically owed you our kids and my own male white yang-privileged LeftWing and unprivileged-yin victim of RightWing homophobia self Changing our bilaterally balancing Story as transparently and vulnerably as left brawn with right brain possible.
