I mean think about it:
Does God care about praise?
No.
We shouldn't either.
Do your good works,
Then watch a Marx Brothers movie.
Stop your search for unneeded miracles.
The miracle already occurred.
We're still getting acclimating.

Which sounds healthier
to you?
Advent Serenity
or Christmas Birthing Terror
Separate identity comes from sacred Mother
and embryonic Child
interwoven bio-roots
As awareness of serene light
emerges from safe
and warm
original wombed
dark nutritious night
As regenerative individual delight
of nascent flowers integrity's potential
to evolve from organically disconnecting
birthing
and rebirthing powers
As LeftBrain ego identity
revolves with sacred democratic integrity
of healthy EarthMother
imprinting each indigenously divine
Gaian elder RightMind infant
Trusting EarthTruths
born of Serene Beauty
Like purple Health
co-acclimating red/blue Wealth
Like C centered resilience
emerging from A/E re-membering resonance
Like positive 1
mediating serene
resonantly balanced
NotFull/NotEmpty 0
co-emergent
double-binary compassion.

Porches,
attached decks,
patios,
intimate places for alfresco,
These make a difference
between a fortressed house
and a transparent home,
between an ego castle
and an eco-habitat.
We also spread rhododendron bushes
and hostas,
flowers and ferns
around our stone
and concrete bound foundations.
We want stable defenses
but prefer to camouflage houses
in organic color,
life giving and taking shapes.
These boundary vistas
speak of heart felt reminders
our habitat is rooted
in Earth's wilderness
In vulnerability
hidden from transparency
except with those who share our sacred space
inside
and upon,
within our co-passioned present time,
Presence bonding,
double-binding,
re-membering past wildness
anticipating future re-generative
re-storative
re-habituating
re-acclimating
re-bounding win/lose less
for more win/win paradise
Just barely 2020 visible
and silently audible
and fresco fragranced
and tasted,
felt
and so nearly touched
longing into belonging
on our cooperatively-owned front porch.

A sustained mystery for more long-term resilient cohabitation
is how to exchange high tolerance for ambiguity,
with, and not for, active curiosity about ambidexterity,
vulnerable dipolarity both/anding transparent bipolarity,
merging win/lose stuckness
in our emerging collective illusion
of ego-identity's fundamental
sacred
monocultural autonomy
Autonomy of identity
as if both necessary and sufficient
before humane/divine multicultural interdependence
could grow more robustly possible,
Rather than this Other historical way around
healthy yinterdependent yindivid-yangation
prior to egalitarian sacred identity
actually co-passioning
healthy dualistic potentiality,
While still in EarthMother's
ego/ecofeminist sanctuary
of integrity,
secular/sacred co-passioning Womb.
A more sustained mystery of more long-term resilient cohabitation
is exchanging high tolerance for ambiguity,
with, and not for, active curiosity about co-acclimating
trans-regenerations of nurturing timelessness.

Silent empathy,
whether majority or extremely lonely minority,
without active integrity
is unvoiced noticing
without informed feedback looping
understanding resilient communication
mentoring
Who we call each other to become
in courageous solidarity,
curious about our remaining future fertile non-uniformity
Catalyzing co-acclimating communions
of perpetual becoming
co-empathically active
and more polypathically informed.
Sung empathy,
especially if simultaneously danced
in harmonic rhythms
and causal-effective rhymes
with reason
fertile seasons,
if polypathic integrity
grows most resonantly polyphonic

Multi-laterally rooted

Boulders,
split wide open,
with rounded river-shaped edges,
greet the rain,
their rushing Creator,
everyday re-creating
Fossils
witnessing time's solidarity
between flowing rivers
and boldly shaped
deforming compassion
for lowest sedated intent,
immortal purposes of flow
yet majestically Progenitive
Transparently vulnerable icons,
open seasons of geologically irrational
time invested
in transporting communion
Like a flowing poem,
a rain-drenched story
voicing well-told resonance
Yet compassion longs to understand
why this structure
and our causal flow
have not only found each other
but have remained together
to this recreating end.
Like river rocks and rain,
perhaps we have no knowable choice
other than acclimating time's solidarity
of righteous flow and unliberated shape,
spirit representing nature,
relationship suggesting dynamic autonomy becoming
interdependence unveiling healthy equity
wisdom seeking formed understanding
rain shaped river rocks.

What is a health optimizing adventure
appropriate for a co-empathic prophet
of ego/eco-therapeutic peace?
In this dark Advent time of climate degeneration,
When we feel more than just this solstice year
co-darkens to complete,
to tragically end,
When we feel risk
and need opportunities
to heal our entire exterior timelessly dark future,
to heal interior decomposing dusky thoughts with feeling minds
and dis-organically stressed bodies,
to heal climates of sickly expanding universal therapeutic needs
with some unitarian cooperative spices
and some chaotic climate spaces
terrorizing pro-organic persistent feelings;
What is a wealth optimizing Advent
appropriately co-acclimating with all nature/spirit prophecies
for ego/eco-therapeutic restoring justice Peace?
from ego-central
through eco-tribal cooperative Win/Win balance,
Advent co-presence
invites co-empathic listening,
responsive hoping,
active faithing,
everyday love, darkly,
sometimes starkly, enchanting.

Acclimating to the tranquil jaunt
of a cool morning cascade
shouldered brightly by
reds and oranges of a quiet rising sun
Rather than yearning for ball point
to check off
Peacefulness & beauty with poingant
smile
Been there, done that!
O tireless mantra for
Consummation of life
Anticipating the soft cooing
of Septembers mourning dove
spawns antiquated veins of nobility
much kindlier than traffic lights
and car horns
The perfume of fresh earth
as dew is called back to Heaven
leaves very pleasantly
remorseless of its brief endeavor
or fleeting benevolence

As the storm clouds gather over the sun
A tiny opening lets through beams of light
Still a swirling dark mass like a sea undone
Resting behind are beams of sunlight
Rain is needed and the clouds a delight
They offer protection from the noon's heat
Cover from summer's full sun which is bright
Maybe tonight will be a cooler treat
Despite dark clouds, there's hope for new days
Maybe sunlight for an afternoon tromp
Or some time for water sports and play
An evening filled with much romp and stomp
Dark clouds can be at sometimes aboding
But after the storm life is acclimating

If we belong then it won't matter,
the obstacles in the way.
If we belong then no plan is needed,
and nothing is left to say.
Sharing dreams of time together
is not the same as day to day.
The imperfections of life
undermine all in their sway.
If we belong, how do we know?
Reverberations of the soul may begin to slow.
And the sudden chill at the sight of you,
lost like acclimating to something new.
If we belong, must it cause pain?
Long after a flood recedes, destruction remains.
If we belong, would you call it fate?
First too early, and now too late...
but time no longer matters.
Regardless of duration,
if we belong...I will wait.
