Wisdom's Marching Council

I know you invited the Brothers to side-line along, but only if we are here to listen; Don't speak. Yet I may have credential for qualifying voice. For I, like some of you, know what it means to develop cooperative, too often dissonantly competing, multicultural enriching relationships with our African-American husbands and lovers. Sons and daughters of enslaved Elders, with responsibility to nurture our mixed-race Other children, some with mental and physically challenged mindbodies, replete with Left and RightBrain dominant/suppressed confusions, disabling appositional, disorienting, dissonant marginalizations and addictive appetites, yet sharing health and safety cooperative ecopolitical rights To therapeutically healing touch and sound of bicamerally balancing, bigenderal, both matriarchal with patriarchal Left, but ecoRight systemic listening, curious, hungry for Wise BiLateral Council Commons, cooperative both-anding our WinWin wu-wei regenerative march with co-evolutionary freedoms to and from Where I stand and march in breath-rhymed pace, we together hear our own silent resonant marching pace with Brother Martin Luther King, Jr, Doctor of revolutionary journeys with his Elders, Brother Mahatma Gandhi walking East/West armLeft with armRight W.E.B Dubois, Doctor of his enslavement co-redemption health and safety evolutionary maturation story, Personal, familial, national extended marching family, EarthTribe ecological-global full-extending tribes back to shared DNA root systemic regenerative balance and forward to future regenerators of multiculturally polypathic climate health. No Women's Wise BiCameral Council would hope to leave such nutritious me-too Voices of regenerate echoing silent history for freedom from patriarchal enslavement, freedom toward matriarchal nutritional cooperative deep unmunitional ecology, PatriarchalEgo-Left with Matriarchal EcoRight mindbody polypathic ego/ecoconsciousness of past through future health and safety NatureSpirit Holonic Balance, Resonating reiterative SpaceTime Revolutions, Non(0)-Soul bilateral Voices, Yang DualDark Brothers, born of Yin Feminist-Matriarchal Paradise enriching Goddess wandering wombs Marching with all of this our genetically shared WinWin Above, both-and cooperative Creolizing (Dr. Jane Anna Gordon) transubstantiating transliterating ecological linguistics (G Lakoff, Political Mind), with Creolizing Political Theory, about W.E.B. Dubois, ecopolitical scientist, adding marginal side-line listening notes and wonder speculations of and for WinWin regenerative Wisdom Marching Councils: "...[I]t is a mistake to frame all [health and safety] problem-driven work as necessarily answering and serviceable to [LeftBrain Dominant-Commodified] corporate imperatives. After all, what of the work of Frantz Fanon or W.E.B. Du Bois [and Buckminster Fuller's cooperative bilateral Synergetics, for that matter]?" "With Du Bois, his framing of African Americans as a unique social scientific opportunity [right-mind wisdom-marginalization strangling ecopolitical deep ecology learning as positive-deviant LeftBrain opportunities with authoritative health/wealth responsibilities]-- to study the emergence of a [degeneratively bought and sold] race born of [marginalizing, LeftBrain dominant ego-patriarchal] displacement, coerced [regenerative] intermixing, [co-afflicting] slavery [MasterWhiteMale/SuppressedFeMale] and then [emerging ecopolitical co-arising] emancipation." [multiculturing bicameral issues of Global EnSlaved/PatriarchalMaster climates and disempowering LoseLose colonized and raped landscapes, not always so WinWin healthy] "led not only through his monumental thousand-page, 'The Philadelphia ***** [ReGenesis of multiculturing integrity potential]' to the development of the field of urban [ecological ecopolitical] ethnography (including the generation of previously nonexistent census data) but to a uniquely New World form of [sacred/secular integrity, evolutionary WinWin nutritional] sociology." "Ironically, his [ecotherapeutic] efforts to disclose and illuminate the [healthy] workings of modern [nutritional multicultural] racialization enabled him to produce a creolized [ecopolitically RightBrain matriarchal-feminist YinYin=WinWin nurturant Flow (Lakoff and Csikszentmihalyi)] study of [regenerative/degenerative] complex [ecopolitically bilateral] societies that added to classical European [LeftBrain Patriarchal EgoDominant] concerns[egoLeft-ecoRight appositional therapies of health/pathology consciousness] of [segregated-supremacist] class, secularization [dominance over matriarchal-sacralization of nurturing governance], [LeftBrain dominant] rationalization, and [RightBrain health and safety potentials for cooperative polycultural holistic civil rights discerning] bureaucracy, particularities of the [health/safety cooperative eco-polycultural] plantation and its complex [regeneratively nutritional/enslavement-toxic] aftermath." "Unlike his contemporaries who tried in making their sociology [LeftBrain deductive dominant] rigorous [but not also RightBrain health-wealth WinWin cooperative flow-optimized] to make it un-[ecologically health-balancing]American [deep-bilateral learning experiential of both Left/Right nutritional ecological balance toward climates of multiculturing health-- not monoculturing enslaving LeftBrain YangDominant pathology], his writing continues to be available in print and read in [LeftBrain WesternWhite USA Patriotic/Nationalistic Dominant] classrooms." And available to be heard within these liminal narrow-way boundaries, shadow-marching resonant yet enthymematic silent-mindful sidelines of historic Women's PolyPathic Wisdom Marching Councils. Everything King and Gandhi and Du Bois and Gordon and Lakoff and Fuller and Czikszentmihalyi learned through matriarchally cooperative ecopolitics they absorbed first through their Wisdom Walking Wombs, defying dissonant talking Tombs.
