What might be your perfect way to awake with joy and gratitude each morning within this new day old way of opportunity and mourning? This morning's epic re-awakening into Beloved Paradise opens health humored eyes to see a full bright winter moon shining through bedroomed windows greeting pale yellow dawn fading starlit sky of not quite night. To awake fully knowing I am more than tolerated trauma and...

Back in the day, before right hand leftbrain dominance became our mean girl weaponized thing Our bilaterally balanced grandmothers, whether Eastern Taoists or Western Animists (and almost certainly both) did not think to separate Left from Right, mind from body, passion from pleasure, if only because our peak experiences are more co-passionately resonant than mind v body dissonant, unhealthy universal spirit v unitarian nature, unwealthy crown v root chakra dissociative discommunication. Our great-grandmother...

EarthTribe dancing divas still indulge emphatic circling meditations Dogmatically embodying mindful medications Producing peaceful pleasures spiraling passions against war's relentless anti-paradise Dancing resiliently within organic drama while resonantly without systemic trauma Right hand and foot open out in front of future win/win mindfully embodied penetrations in behind Left past win/lose shady mean predations Right hand gratefully open virtuous praising circles inviting LeftBrain viscous vicarious healing vicious marches in ancient patristic hierarchical lines Resolving EarthDivas now prancing in space-timed spirals extending boundaries to soon embrace love's immortal body-mindful...

Can you make any sense of systemic racism? No more common sense than too much patriarchalism-- all leftbrain-rightwing dominant things oppressing sacred Earth's polycultural win/win systems promoting resiliently wealthy resonant synergetic health Care given as received in fruitful wombs, like apple cores in transition from refuse toward rebirth Maybe an EarthTribal positive prejudice not associating Yang courageous energy with evil supremacist paternalism and ugly post-survivalist machismo, chronically sad and historically bad and even critically mad irreligious...

Premium Member Green Resilience Theory
I've been warmly remembering your peak solidarity experience joyfully shared When you suggested in a state-wide wisdom circle that our cooperative advocacy might feel more robust and become more strategically and resonantly effective If and when local communities more intentionally share our current municipal Trauma Prevention challenges And, in this ecocidal anthrosupremacist sharing, restore eco-justice with and for a temporary circle of special project alliance subcircles So that local win/lose trauma...
