before and after the UnCivil War,

Earthy EmpathyYou've heard that self-unfulfilling prophecy?
"I love humanity--
it's just people I can't stand."
I love healthy humanity--
it's just uppity and/or snooty people I can't stand
I love cooperative humanity--
it's just overly-competitive individuals I can't stand.
Not so distant from,

Our Earthcafe CoopIn one sense,
the Cafe CoOp

Victories For LoveThe problem of military reactions
to territorial control issues
is not merely that violence breeds further strategic development
of violence,
although this is no small,

is that it is an intrinsically...

Bipartisan DissonanceWhen oppositional cognitive dissonance
deflects focus from compassion,
I've learned to go back to when I deflected focus from her.
She sends me passive-aggressive messages,
bread crumbs leading back in time
to where she began to feel alone,
marginalized,
siloed,
anxious,
neglected.
If...

2020 RevolutionNumbers, numerals,
like words,
combinations of letters,
mean something,
sometimes more secular,
sometimes more sacred ecological.
Numerals and letters share sacred iconic human-intelligence root systems
within a bicameral ecology of mind-body nonduality,
both RightBrain matriarchal empowering flow of integrity (Czikszentmihalyi)
and LeftBrain patriarchal Yang...

Who's Crazy NowI have an outside RightBrain dominant thalamus
to watch and listen to,
to feel confluent and resonant with,
to love,
as parent with child,
yet this is more of a mutual-mentoring of
notsad-notsad sustainable bliss
within our normally limited nutritional sensory environment.

Remembering Radical RelativesExplain your historical evolution radically, inclusively, expansively, good-humoredly;
not carefully, deductively, reductively, sarcastically.

I would further imagine

After School Jam SessionHow was school today?
Fine.
Did you learn anything important?
Maybe. I'm not sure yet.
Really? What are you considering?
We talked about Howard Odum's natural trinity

Misguided MeditationsI am sorry
about my judgmental,
sadly disdainful,
tone
in earlier messages.
Even worse,
I remain embarrassed
for spreading it out
for key staff
and leaders
to well-positioned see

and feel,
touched by wounded toxicity.
My training
and experience
includes victimized by homophobia
and healing through community mediation.
