Inspired in part by "Your Resonant Self", Dr. Sarah Peyton, especially pp. 145-146.

Some issues,
some opportunities,
are written across great Western and Eastern cultures,
Northern and Southern economies,
Left and Right hemisphere structured minds,
breathing out- and in-forming lungs,
beating in- and then out-flowing hearts.


Flight toward freedom
and open-air healthy impressions,
and fight against racial oppression,
health depression,
patriarchal suppression,
competing capitalist corporate repression

Frighten by blaming
and anger by shaming
people 
who might otherwise consider sharing responsibility
for growing climates and monocultures of fragility.

Our individual and collective win/lose contempt
fear
anger
hate acted out
expressed verbally and non-verbally
leave wounds,
disproportionately worn by NonElites;
poor, regardless of color, gender, but especially our young,
girls and women,
LGBTQ individuals, families, multicultural communions,
people exhausted by incorporated straight 
white 
LeftBrain Either/Or competitive
male dominant 
anthropocentric fragility
divesting of healthy EarthClimates
unraveling through too long histories
of colonizing ecopolitical Elitist cultures.

When a society is rabidly growing rage,
fear and anger climates
frightened and angered people,
especially young and old NonElites
too close to needing
yet too far from achieving cooperative Green NewDeals
we expected from EarthMother's earliest
and most resonant Womb and Breast.

Our Elite/NonElite journey
to WholeSelf/Other learning
to express fear and anger
looks for Green NewDeal ways to heal
ourselves
and all creatures sharing Earth with us;
all living systems,
all subclimates,
all habitats,
all communions, sanctuaries, asylums, ghettos of apartheid,
our covenanted and un-covenanted Allies,
Alliances, 
extended families cooperatively co-investing
to heal fear and anger apart-ism 
win/lose wounds,
by reorganizing our cooperative re-investments
in repairing healthy wealth of MotherEarth
and lesser elite/non-elite coalitions
cooperative-owners
public/private health investors

Following dipolar structured scripts
written across each ego/eco-living heart
pumping nutrition in,
then out,
and in again,
out again
breathing in,
then out,
then in again
health,
predicting outgoing wealth
informing,
then outgoing
wealth in
as health outcome
co-investing experiential climates
balancing trimtab points
of internal externalizing nurture transition,
warm accompaniment
double-boundaries restoring peace incoming
as justice outgoing
dipolar co-arising 
recreative intention extension
through self with other everyday portents
double-binding ego/ecosystemic perpetuation.
