Where art thou anonymous benefactor...to offer me succor?

My early 20s Eldest Black Lives Matter Son
wears his disabling ADHD label uncomfortably,
impatiently,
like a possibly self-redeeming crown
but with unfortunate MessiahComplex thorns
as the Great WhiteMan's sacrificial lamb.

His First, and hopefully last, Girl
is an ADHD Latina,

Premium Member Claustrophobic Centers
Much has been felt
then written
about loneliness at the top

Less written,
yet perhaps far more often felt,
about claustrophobia in the center.

Problems with delegation,
boundaries,
predictable timelines,
responsive management focus,
follow through performance,
closeted partisanship,
competitions to be heard
listened to
appreciated
respected 
for our therapeutic,
and not...

So that the people shall not scheme [win v lose]

This was the explicit exploration

What is your opposite
for SACRED?

for sexually unscared
unscarred
unscrambled?

SECULAR, I suppose.

Secularization
sounds like desecration,
As sanctification
sounds divinely cooperative,
loving,
and not quite so punishingly competitive

Like win/win eco-political Game Strategies
to optimize and sustain healthy
co-governing polycultural outcomes,
nonviolently,
therapeutically,
restoring mindful peacefulness.

I wonder if we could...

Are you,
or have you ever been,
a Trumpist?

Asks the Restorative Justice Committee
inviting an open discussion

about their new green global loyalties

And how this anticipation

HeteroSapiens have bipolar developed
miraculous capacities
to stretch and blur
legitimate moral peace initiatives
subordinate to licit legal judicial systems

Judiciously approved punishment
for misdemeanors
felonies,
cardinal

and carnal
and original sins
requiring flat fees
regardless of capacity to pay,
imprisonment,
enslavement,
lynching,
beheading,
burning at the stake,

It has been asked,
sighed Gaia,
if I would convert Christians
to Taoists.

So, what did you say?

I suspect better Christians,
Christians with more humble gratitude
for God's actively loving Grace
restoring ecological mercy 
more than punishing injustice,
would also be better Taoists

Children,
and the occasional healthy adult,
wonder why we say
Love grows more powerful than hate,
And why ecologists say
Multicultural ecosystems grow more resiliently
than post-climaxed monocultures
degeneratively fragmenting,

And yet we have these LeftBrain dominant either-or attitudes,
zero-sum evolutionary platitudes,
that differences in...

My great challenge for fruitful wisdom paths
is credentialed expertise.

My obstacle to polypathic health
is self-aggrandizing comfort,
cheap ease,
self-sufficiency,
detachment.

Obstacles to resilient compassion
have more to do with impatient "kindness" 
than diligently interdependent pursuits
of transparently vulnerable
integrity
of deep and wide resonance,...
