Best Anthropocentric Poems
When I was eight
I knew Paradise could not be merely secular humane
and yet be kind
and omnipotently divine
when a Great Horned Owl
breathed her last sacred breath toward me,
left alone
while she flew away
to where I would poorly follow
in my robust adult time.
It took me eight cycles of octave eight
to realize why
Paradise must include safe nests for diverse fowl,
politically
and ecologically cooperative seas
flowing complex schools of graceful fish
and surf's bilateral co-gravity
flowing out here
and ebbing in now
breathing Earth's healthy paradise past
and wealth-empowering future
polyamorous eternity.
Because an anthropocentric Paradise
would be monolithically,
and monotonously,
and monotheistically oxymoronic,
a scientifically and religiously ridiculous
metaphysical nightmare,
not ecologically sustainable,
not psychologically palatable
not even harmonically healthy potential paradise
because not synergetically
polyphonically
polypathically
polyculturally
or polytheistically healthy
wealth of peak co-empathic experience
regeneratively compelling
and degeneratively disspelling
economically enlightened
and politically empowering
co-intelligent empathic/dyspeptic
polytheistically inclusive
indigenous wisdom design.
Every polyvagal body knows
Heaven begins and ends
in an organically holistic
and politically democratic
globally healthy Earth Garden
with zero-balanced waste wealth stream
and nonzero-soul kind-kin potential
panentheistic elegant integrity,
yes?
So how does denying our naturally embodied climate
and unkind mind-wasting spiritual pathologies
help us become the perpetually ReStorative Paradise
we might synergetically peace together
Healing decadently autocratic Hell
monotheistically against sacredly wealthy
organically healthy Gaia Earth.
We each and all have, I suspect,
a felt awareness
that patriotism
risks degenerating into fascism,
as loyalty
risks bullying.
Isolating nationalism
self-righteously defending weaponized caste supremacy
and patriarchal privilege of one's State
moving toward fear-mongered isolationism
supporting competitive polarization
predative politicization
of "self-made" capitalism
Rather than appreciating our solidarity
as anthropocentric nations resting and wrestling
and co-investing
on interdependent continents
articulating green/blue loyalty
to the Gaia Hypothesis of Win+Win integrity
of self+other governance
And no less self-identified sacred State
of Father Sun
or organic Tribe
of Mother Earth,
avoiding dissociative incontinence
whenever possible.
On what metaphysical, natural yet spiritual, principle
might agree
an economic ecologist,
an evangelist,
and a political power analyst?
Earth's prehistoric Creation unfolded
more regeneratively compassioned
than degeneratively dispassioned,
or anthropocentric history tellers
and sacred scripture retellers
and, eventually, writers,
could not have become
recreatively intelligent
regenetically empowered
neurosystemic co-investors
Enlightening SunFather
created LeftHemisphere's
AnthroCentric Logos
derived from spiritually sung
and naturally danced
empowering EarthMother's
indigenously wise RightHemisphere Mythos
Remixing
reconnecting
re-ligioning pleasure mysteries
regenerating passion history histories.
And if we add the further premise
that on bi-hemispheric Earth,
as in neurosystemic bicameral logic
and creolizing inter-religious language
and cobinary polymathic listening,
positive 1-SunGod History
is equivalent to
double negative 0-EarthMother Mystery,
then Earth's regenerative, resonant, resolving,
re-ligiously liberating
spiritually enlightened mind economic passions
balance conserving
naturally empowered not not political body pleasures.
Or maybe this has nothing to do with indigenous endorphin wisdom;
its just the more agnostic Nyquil.
Western theo-logic:
Christ's (God's, Progenitor's, Allah's, etc.)
redemptive economy of grace
leads to Divine/human universal salvation.
Eastern teleo-logic:
Buddhist (Hindu, Taoist, etc.)
co-redemptive ecology of karma
leads to sacred/secular unitarian compassion.
So,
Western theo-monoculture = Eastern teleo-polyculture
salvation = compassion
healthy economy = wealthy ecology
transcendent grace = immanent karma
universalist-ectosystemic = unitarian-endosystemic.
Human West-dominant/East-recessive enculturation
has a universalist deductive dualistic perspective,
which unitarian inductive feelings cannot fully articulate,
while disuniting ego/anthro-centered parts
of EarthTribe panentheistic holiness
has a reductive function,
which indigenous neurosystemic intuition
of ecosystemic solidarity
cannot fully explain,
to paraphrase Alan Watts.
Right brain co-passionate unitarians
greet Left brain dominant universalists,
to bihemispherically co-arise
bicameral co-redemption.
Universally present time
meets uniting three-dimensional space,
as bilateral Yin/Yang Eastern cooperative enculturation
mutually bows with
trinitarian empowered YangDominance
versus Yintegrity
Western competitive anthropocentric salvation
reverses Eastern cooperative EarthTribe co-redemption.
The crowning wealth
of Western monotheism
is bilaterally rooted
in polycultural health of East
co-passionately greets Western
world views
of anthropocentric
GodMan-infested
HisStorical,
sometimes hysterical,
HisClerical destiny.

Midway.
Believing you are for growing economic opportunities
and shrinking anthropocentric financial risks
AND
believing, to do so,
we must tolerate shrinking environmental EarthMother health
and growing nature's nutritional pathology,
is a confusion of cultural ways
and climate means.
There could be no such anthropocentric thing
as a resilient economic system
that is ecologically extractive,
degenerative
Just as there could be no such thing as a healthy economic system
that is not also a politically cooperative,
more than competitive,
systemic network of compassionate relationships
and appreciative transactions.
It could not be news
that we do not get more
and more
and more valued goodies
out of a relationship
when we invest less
and less
and less
within that relationship.
This is a relationship
that will surely end in divorce
heartbreak
animosity
painful loss
of sacred marriage
Between red-blooded anthropological resilience
and green-beloved ecological resonance.

For a moment,
setting aside imagined barriers
severing social democratic empowerment
from neuro-psychological health,
indulge in this deeply rich Thought Experiment
that growing multicultural trust
like cooperative WinWin strategic diplomats
also extends compassionate love
of everyday healthcare democratic lives.
It may become resonantly transparent
why perfecting love of multicultural regenerativity
cannot sustain within a toxic climate
of survival of the autocratic fittest,
competing WinLose devolutionary
weaponed revolution models.
Perfect co-redeeming love
cannot persist in a vacuum
for the same reason that naturally evolving ecosystems
abhor evacuated polypathic energies,
co-empathic enculturing trust
in elegantly ionic, iconic, pleasures.
Perfect love is bipartisan double-bind co-redemptive,
cooperatively co-arising democratic co-prehension,
or it cannot be perfected
WinWin regenerating global organic health.
Love cannot be returned away empty,
unfulfilled with longing for promise of fertility
unless also retaining a pathological anthropocentric vacuum,
absence of co-passionate trust
for sacredly organic abundance
sufficient for this co-engaging moment,
this co-operating day,
this co-invested life,
this regenerate loving Earth,
still holding on
to love's enduring democratic
neurosystemic
cobinary presence,
despite anthro-hubris kleptocratic
nationalistic predation
Setting aside imagined barriers
severing democratic co-empowerment
from organic neurosystemic multisensory healthcare.
Studying history
tries to be objectively subjective,
at its best
when also a comparative study of Sacred Plantings and Harvests.
Not a coincidence,
unfortunately,
that when I studied Christian Church history,
we discovered a not-so-very-catholic co-arising GreatMen picture story
of historic and theological harvest,
but not necessarily ecological
because more anthropocentric objectives of Earth's history.
Yet studying historic development of SkyWoman-resourced Turtle Island
is still largely confined to specialists
in EcoFeminist EcoPolitical Ancient History Compartments
of WhoCares Sacred Plantings and Harvests,
still RightBrain Yin-nurture oppression,

In this alternative Left with Right ecofeminist universe,
it is immediately transparent
to all five co-empathic senses
why Donald Trump
would be much more GreatMen entertaining,
rather than PathologicalMan alarming,
as a Public CrossDresser,
trying to walk in his wife's stilettos,
right behind her,
neither too left nor right,
where he belongs
if he knows what's best for him
tonight.
And,
while I totally get it about not drinking alcohol,
I really do think Medical Marijuana
should be deeply and widely prescribed
within the District of Columbia
in response to our current epidemic
of Yang v Yin Oppositional Disorder.
Maybe we could at least cooperatively agree
on a health and climate care budget for
Balancing Sacred EgoPlantings with EcoHarvests.
And maybe think about
how our melting icecap and glacier harvesting issues
may be both related and unrelated to
planting 12 foot reptiles
hunting vulnerable prey on MainStreet Texas and Florida,
which seems not so good for national health care
or defense
or security,
or even anything resembling GreatMen global rationality.

My mind is as fascinated with investments and divestments
as my body is attracted to healthy and beautiful vestments,
and haunted by prospects of naked loss of home
and integral identity.
My vested interests emerge issues and concerns about nutrition,
as opposed to malnutrition.
Nutrition, whether economic or political,
pursues ecologically systemic complexity.
PolyCultural nutrition can be consumed and produced by a healthy cooperative ecosystem,
while a monoculturally disturbed and aggressive absence of balance
harmony
grace
perpetuates internal v external systemic trauma.
We would all prefer,
regardless of cultural history of our vestments,
avoiding Other's aggressive win/lose values
without win/win cooperative body-health/mind-wealth merit

confluently inclusive,

Whether the pantheistically connected mind of an ant
or polypathically EarthMother nurtured human,
whether the soulful voice of a river
or polyculturing choices of a rich forest,
or the SunFather enlightened spirit

My mind invests in
and divests of
anthropocentric economic and political
monoculturing monotheistic history
Of healthy bodies and beautiful minds
spaciously and timelessly
haunted by monoculturing prospects
of sacred EarthMother's loveless loss,
homeless absence
of cooperatively organic
panentheistic Gaian integrity.
EarthTribe's co-empathic

NeoCortex dominant pursuits

All our biggest and best rational research projects

Too much adulating feedback

that I would place myself above

sacrifices integrity
more resonant with us,
immersed in ecosystemic success,

resilient Earth-rooted wealth.
Children
especially straight white physically-privileged adolescents,
have grown self-empowerment rights
to autonomous personal lifestyle differences,
risks of failure alone,
opportunities toward narcissism,
as contested by parents
who often have our own anthropocentric issues
about humane success and climate failure.
Democratically grateful adults
have grown rights to self-determination
responsibility of personal con-science
consciousness authority
over-against God/Gaia,
Completing the circle
of young developing secular ego-systems
competing

Perhaps LeftBrain's WinLose risk
is also RightBrain's WinWin opportunity

What cooperates internal resonance

Political trust

Firmness of trust
and love's cooperative force?
Why do we settle for ambiguously competing energies
when the democratic trust we seek together
might be more robustly loved
as cooperative inter-religious synergy?
When did specialized researchers
settle for dissociated complexity
as our paradigmatic road toward comprehension
of our anthropologically wealthy selves?
out and in

Earth's ecologically healthy

We both want and need better internal cooperative views
of recombining regenesis,
cognitive transliterations for/of intuitive transmutations
Not with freedom to become any dis-ecological
irreligious manscape at all
Not with Anthropocene nationalistic landscapes
