When Coempathic

When I feel compassion with my positive needs for love health trust safety, When I feel compassion for my fears wounds negative fortress wants to overpower perceived threats against my egocentric compromises with ruthless capitalism, soulless patriarchalism, strategic genocide, extractive ecocide, smug and heartless anthrosupremacy, aggressively diseased LeftBrain dominance inside my ruminating self as schizophrenically viral outside Those Evil People voices without kind choices, When I feel compassion with my healthy integral potential and for my pathological capacity to do more harm to further wound EarthTribal consciousness to militarize my fearmongering and anger repressing words, When I feel compassion as the guy who loves listening to friends and family, and even foes excited about our multigenerational attachments to multicolored and fabulously gay designed exotically sexy fragrant flowers Is also the coempathizing guy who shares DNA and bicameral neurosystemic flow structures with Vladimir Putin and those who voted for him, with Adolph Hitler and those who voted for him, Donald Trump and those who voted for him, Mitch McConnell and those who voted for his Straight Corporate Man Party, and possibly even Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, and those Georgians who voted for her bad blond self-image Which is decidedly not Green in any feminist compassionate organically cooperative and co-empathically engaged way and means to truth and healthy resilient life Maybe, as I have sometimes whispered, not-green Greene is a toxic infestment machine planted by an alien aryan planet When I feel compassion what do I need? want? crave? CoEmpathic cooperation and healthy co-investment, experiences of win/win strategic game playing, celebrating our resonant positive social neurological systems for restorative health for cooperative long-term EarthTribe safety. When I feel compassion for my engaged side AND my dark and ominous potential to fail in my own indigenous humane natural/spiritual development potential, Then I can at least laugh with my own creative conspiracy theories and against my own tragic Earth-degenerative Mutually Assured Destruction, MADness that might take out humanity Or, even worse, eradicate Earth's wild and domesticated flowers.
