Who Are You

In the Work That Reconnects, we have a dialogue exercise in which Person A asks Person B "Who are you?" several times over a few minutes, as it feels right to reprime this exploratory pump; then person B does the same for person A. The person hosting, facilitating, enabling this reiterative question's redundant possibilities is merely an echo-present listener, noticing diversity within these multiple evolving responses, without judging good, bad, ugly, or even indifferent, quietly hearing rhythms of longing for love between the crippling cracks of anger and fear, anxiety and chronic climate stress, compelling and compiling Self without Othering pathology. The question, Do all these diverse self-descriptions truly fit this organic mind/body passion/pleasure elephant? does not usually arise. Rather, we accept all these scrabbling voices and hats and feelings and ideas and beliefs co-occurring within one bilateral positive-health v. negative-pathology ego/ecosystem, seeking fullness richness, poli-economic, polymorphic communication, positive voice/choice design, win/win development, co-empathic investment, and authentic/integral implementation outcomes, at the end of this elephant's rhetorical day, if not sooner. Why is this not always the case when we ask our friends and families, our public sector leaders and financial sector investors, "Who do you hope we are becoming?" What loves are we preparing to neurosystemically invest in and which past angers and future fears to ecosystemically divest of? What win/win kindness good humor positive health indicators can I give that I already invest in organically regenerate health agendas, platforms, local cooperative designs with global wealth intentions, co-engaging therapeutic diapraxis of which I sing so resonantly with others? I know you support restoring wealth to our soil and preserving clean water, as I do. So does it bother you, as it does me, that we still contaminate our water with poo and pee instead of investing in nutrition-starved soil, where both could be healthy resources countering past anthro-supremacist neglect and monotheistic abuse, doubly-negative GodMind v EarthBody systemic trauma pathology? We say we support cooperatively vibrant and healthy local economies and empowering political vitality, so does it bother you, as it does me, to so often hear "eitherMe-orThey" deductive 0-sum closed degenerating consumptive reductivism and wonder why not first cooperatively consider "bothMe-andWe" regenerating productive panentheism? I appreciate what you just said and I wonder if adding X might make your/our idea even better healthier wealthier wise. Do you agree, or maybe you see concerns for yourself and others new to me, of which we might learn together? Could a cooperative bipartisan election, a civil peace campaign begin with compiling interdependent hopes and wishes and loves of Who Are We? thereby more smoothly avoiding stuckness-traps of future mind fear and past body anger, dissonant pathological win/lose intentions degenerating into lose/lose despairing outcomes. Could investing both-and cooperative kindness communication norms better lead toward co-investing in healthy wealth, politically strong-embraced liberating talk/conservation walk policies, procedural and dialogical transparency, polyculturally inclusive design and development and discernment of poli-eco-logical therapy v. anthro-morphic pathology Co-arising patriotic matriarchal Sun-enlightened republican songs through Earth-empowering democratic dances trauma-informing crown/root Me-health/We-wealth outgoing networks Ego/eco-normative Who Are We diapraxis, embracing each and every sacred Person X and Y response to Who Am I?
