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

of democratic and economic cooperative systems,

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,

Misguided MeditationsI am sorry
about my judgmental,
sadly disdainful,
tone
in earlier messages.
Even worse,

My training
and experience
includes victimized by homophobia
and healing through community mediation.
Within this...

Supremely Courted Systemic FeelingsI believe it was Alfred North Whitehead,
an early developer of cognitive systems thinking,
who observed frequent miscommunication
