Premium Member Stretching Health Care

My oldest friend,
and older, too,
has a daily yoga practice
of self-care,
which I would healthier emulate.

But, when I mentioned this
as rich in comparison
with my own brief leg stretches
while tube-feeding my son,
and occasional too brief dancing
and jumping
with my cerebral palsied daughter,

He responds
to my neglect of self care
with self-deprecating acclaim 
for my daily investment
in young adult bodies
inhabiting wounded child concerns.

I recognize this response
in literature of sacred messiahs
and family health care martyrs
and extended family matriarchs
and secular ecofeminist mentors
of selflessness,
ego annihilation,
empty nesters,
nonself-investors.

While all such roleplays,
diurnal through eternal,
are counter-cultural,
with redemptive value
and stretching of compassion,

I question their/our capacity for resilience
as even the most cooperative
win/win co-invested economist
would question total eco-investment
through absolute ego-divestment,
outgoing care for health
while bleeding out all internal wealth
of energy
power
light.

Yoga stretches internal minds
to resonantly balance
external bodies
fully re-creating 
co-acclimating
resonant resilience.

This stretching,
toning
touching
feeling
balancing
centering
communicating
cooperative empowering
compassionate enlightening
I could do with my son
and my daughter
daily,
and perhaps timelessly,
with sufficient commitment
and imagination,
creativity
and regenerative health
intent to optimize
our shared systemic wealth

Stretching from where we are
toward when we will become
together in shared passion.


Premium Member Good News With Bad News

The Gospels share a negative understory,
thematic across all four.

However diverse these four voices may be
in describing and delineating Messianic love,
and political-economic priorities for poor spirits,
all four are univocal with anecdotal warnings:
If you are on the supremely powerful hoarding side
referring to those less fortunate than your enlightened self
as mere cowards
and traitors
and sinners
being who they marginally are,
as they perhaps criminally are,
for acting out insanely,
as they compulsively,
but not long-term nurturingly, will,
then you are on a wrong side
of co-redemptive ecopolitical action;
the wrong side of the GoodNews Gospels.

Blaming the victims
of poverty and ecopolitical marginalization
of abuse and neglect,
of addiction and victimless criminalization,
is the Gospel-condemned hypocrisy
of desecrating Pharisees
and Sadducees,
Publicans
and other clericalist malignant Aristocrats,
Caesars breeding Mammon
rather than CoMessiahs breathing Manna.

If we create an old with new blend of Jesus
as Solomon,
a more positive Gospel message
invites discerning issues of freedoms and rights to say
and/or do and not do
by asking ourselves, and each other:

Will this democratize freedoms to love,
to participate
to cooperate
to look for WinWin resolutions?

And, will this build higher boundaries around monoculturing restrictions
toward further WinLose anger,
fear,
intolerance,
chronic hatreds,
while excusing hypocrisies
of supremacists calling themselves on the side of defusing love's barriers,
removed from cowards,
losers,
soft on healthy defense,
fostering long-term economic disaster areas,
deniers of LeftBrain healthy nondual co-realities,
detractors from patriarchal capital-obsessed evolutionary self-aggrandizing theories
as more culturally important
than Matriarchal-ReGenerative CoOperation Stories
about Messiahs
and wise guys, royal as humble-servant birth
of healthy,
courageously cooperative,
mutually trusting and vulnerable ecopolitics.

Premium Member Jesus Teaching: Being Watchful

When you see the desolating (Emptiness or destruction) abomination (a thing that causes disgust or hatred) standing where he should not
Then those in Judea must flee to the mountains
A person on a housetop must not go down or enter to get anything out of his 
house 

And a person in a field must not return to get his cloak
Woe to pregnant women and nursing mothers in those days
Pray that this does not happen in winter
For those times will have tribulation such as has not been since the beginning of God's creation until now

Nor ever will be
If the Lord had not shortened those days
No one would be saved
But for the sake of the elect whom He chose

He did shorten the days
If anyone says to you then
'Look
Here is the Messiah! Look

 There He is!
Do not believe it
False messiahs and false prophets will arise and will perform signs and wonders in order to mislead

If that were possible
The elect 
Be watchful
I have told it all to you beforehand

But in those days after that tribulation the sun will be darkened
And the moon will not give its light
And the stars will be falling from the sky
And the powers in the heavens will be shaken

And then they will see 
The Son of Man coming in the clouds
With great power and glory
And then he will send out the angels and gather his elect from the four winds

From the end of the earth to the end of the sky
Learn a lesson from the fig tree
When its branch becomes tender and sprouts leaves
You know that summer is near

 In the same way
When you see these Things happening
Know that he is near
At the gates

 Amen
I say to you
This generation will not pass away until all these things have taken place
Heaven and earth will pass away

But my words will not pass away
 But of that day or hour
No one knows
Neither the angels in heaven

Nor the Son
But only the Father
Be watchful
 Be alert 

You do not know when the time will come
 It is like a man traveling abroad
He leaves home and places his servants in charge
Each with his work

And orders the gatekeeper to be on the watch
 Watch therefore
You do not know when the lord of the house is coming
Whether in the evening

Or at midnight
Or at cockcrow
 Or in the morning
May he not come suddenly and find you sleeping

What I say to you
I say to all
'Watch 
[MK 13:14-37]

Numbers

The stars both numb and inspire,
awe either enraptures or terrifies.
The word ‘infinite’ becomes a conjectural sum
to be defined by pundits in bow ties
and star-crazed, white coated messiahs.

Tilt your head back on a cloudless night
feel the cold mathematical anesthesia
of the infinitesimal, not anything fathomable,
not even a reckoning in an unsolvable puzzle;
a nonplus that breeds only more numbers
until like a train calculations runs out of rails
to travel upon.

Each mental abacus
must be pre-set for incomprehension
and that beyond the tyranny of numbers
we can, in the end, count only ourselves in
and that is by no-means certain.

Premium Member Human Trafficking

The lure of lucrative jobs 
In foreign lands
Excites desperate souls
As they see a better future
Than in their homeland

Recruitment agencies 
Operate from shady joints 
Promising dream jobs
With perquisites to match
For these gullible customers

Human traffickers 
Pose as messiahs
Enticing innocent candidates 
From rural areas
With tempting proposals

Once on board,
They exploit the poor souls
By confiscating 
Their travel documents
And short-selling their skills

They are not petty criminals
It is a well-oiled machinery
That perpetrates
And perpetuates 
Such atrocities on migrant labour

Many agencies chip in
To run this recruitment mafia,
Negligent government agencies
And casual outlook of courts
Add to their woes

The hapless victims 
Pay a heavy price
And get sucked into the vortex 
Of a vicious circle 
They did not bargain for


Premium Member We Are All Angry

No, Speaker Ryan,
you do not speak for me
of the sacred probabilities
for growing civil kindness.

I respect your mind and your feelings, 
but we are not, as you assert, all angry.
In fact, some of us think it is a bad, sad, and mad idea
to try to develop healthy and equitable policies for Others
out of personal anger and political fear,
when we could choose motivations engaging cooperative love,
restorative justice,
compassionate communication
and internal/external peace-making.

I am sorry you are angry,
but please do not project your concerns 
about lack of viable health and safety outcomes
onto win/win-motivated me

And millions of others who believe that green
unconditional warm compassion 
is not only more resonantly kind
but also more resiliently healthy 
than red anger
and dark blue fear 
of traumatic loss.

Both political and environmental scientists
can explain why monoculturally rabid 
win/lose 
0-sum
predative environments
are unlikely to evolve therapeutically stable 
regenerative resolutions
toward healthy sustainable 
nutritionally rich
and multicultural win/win co-empowerment outcomes 
for you, 
and me, 
and we, 
and Earth

Polarizing anger
is unlikely to produce deep economic ecological healthy relationships 
and wide poli-cultural love communion
with AnthroCreator God, 
or with awesome messianic EnLightenment, 
or with EarthPower's indigenous bodhisattva wisdom,
much less all bilaterally intelligent three

Worshipped, celebrated, legislated, governed
not with militarized PTSD anger
or polarized fear-mongering stress
or unfree, costly hate speech

But eating with joyful humility
and drinking with open, trust-developing curiosity
producing Left-cognitive and consuming Right-intuitive 
compassionate neurosystemic communication

SunLight liberating messiahs
and EarthPower conserving bodhisattvas

Fruit of resilient transgenerational
sacred passion/organic pleasure,
EgoMind v EcoBody chronic trauma-informed

Fascism

Premium Member In The Matter of Nothing

Heaven could be like an infinite holiday
Without grief and the burden of war. 
Without physical or emotional pain.
A family reunion every day.
Bathed in the purest light.
Manna nibbled from crystal plates.
 
Heaven could be like a tide pool.
A place where cracked limbs grow back.
Where hearts are gently put back into place.
Where children play on trampoline dreams.
Where everything is glazed in the spirit-Godspeed. 

Heaven could be where secrets of being are revealed.
Where peace is accepted naturally.
Where sin is gleaned, rendering the soul pristine.
Heaven could be trimmed in cherub knickknacks.
Made from the messiahs' precious hands.

Heaven could be a place where you finally meet,
Leonardo -Vincent- Mother Theresa or Martin Luther King.
Heaven could be just a melting film reel, in an L.S.D dream.
Man-woven from the matter of everything and nothing.
