if any,
between confrontation
and engagement?

Between nonviolent communication
and WinnerTakeAll debate,
or wrestling,
for that win/lose matted matter?

InBetween cooperative compassion,
dissociative persuasion,
competitive dispassion?

need healthy humane theological experience
more than
theological HeavenlyWater/EarthSoil reflection
feeds wealth-restoring ecological Justice.
