When he speaks
transparently
he feels co-passionate
as long as s/he appears
to vulnerably listen

Without Me v We risks
of retributive judgment,
body shaming
and mind blaming,
when he aims
to restore healthy cultures
and wealthy climates of peace
through win/win reassessment

Which may be why

when compassionate audiences dance
engaging pleasure's peak resilience

Receiving in

while thrusting out
power's most sacred 
invocations.

Premium Member Choosing Love

I feel victimized
by the commercial success
of what was once a silent,
waiting,
watching
for Emmanuel,
Allah WithIn Us

I wonder
when I become red-faced angry
about not being able to CONSERVE
sufficient power to have my sacred way
right now

If this is entirely different
than when I feel disempowered by fear
of losing what
and whom
and when
and where
and why I have chosen
to love too LIBERALLY

Without restraint,
without constraint,
without greed,
without ego-aggrandizing need

Without anthro-privileged boundaries
to loving
divine embrace,
warm
humane grace

PeaceFull face 
of sacred EarthTribe,
Divine Beauty,
Humane Unity,
hypostatic Integrity.

Premium Member Dancing NewYear Divas

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 warm regard

Together circling
Earth's silent empowering
dormant winter solstice
starlit witnessing Adventure

Enlightening 
dancing Gaia-With-Us
inside win/win 
newborn presence Presents

Divinely humane
returning RightHand up
and LeftFoot forward
round wombed joy

Voiced
and love choiced
again

Indigenous divas
dancing EarthMother's 
ancient wisdom
passion
light
power.


Premium Member Why Is It

Why is it?
the louder
and more ballistic
my self-righteousness
offensively becomes

The more
at night
I feel self-loathing,
when all is quiet
except dark ruminations
filling my silent bedroom
overwhelming my mind
and body.

Why is it?
we RightWing worry
that nonviolent communication,
too lovingly applied,
would leave us defenseless
against colonizing predators?

And do not worry enough
about LeftWing social anxiety
chronic worrying trauma tales
of violent communications,
too profoundly
ubiquitously applied,
leaving us offensively polarized
by inside fascist autocratic hate
hoarding angry power
and fear filled paralysis?

While unallied corporate fat cat
capitalists,
sell defense industry prophylactic lies,
mad ecocide
predicting global anthroprivileged
demise.

Our inhumane history of violence
leaves uncontested
a healthy silent mystery
of preference 
for compassionate personal experience.

Premium Member Tao Game Theory

This LeftMind dominant
viral virtue 
of practicing RightBody patience 

Is a coverup 
for feeling deep impatience.  

Feeling impatient is not as hopeful 
as exploring active curiosity. 

Curiosity 
about why someone, 
including my own anthro-privileged self, 
would default to live win/lose 
competitively 

When our healthiest, 
and safest 
economically enlightened 
and politically empowering experiences 
have always grown choices to live 
liberally
radically
integrally
EarthTribally
sacredly
neurosystemically
ecologically
more fully win/win, 
cooperatively co-invested.

Passionate curiosity might kill the occasional cat; 
but probably not more deadly 
than dispassionate lack of curiosity.  

Besides, 
passionate curiosity can also be more fun
than boring impatience

More joyful, 
than sad
mad
bad 

More curiously glad
even appropriately win/win consenting adult/adult lusty

More sad/glad soulful 
preferring mindful disciplines 
like healthy therapeutic dances 
and well-sung 
resiliently brilliant love songs.

Premium Member Every Relationship Must Change

1. Everything begins and ends,
reports Richo mindfulness
To which Ohcir co-responds,
including positive v negative
therapy v trauma
co-arising intention.

2. Relationships do not always come and go
according to unconditional warm
co-invested appreciation,
when we fail to bicamerally resonate
together brilliantly resilient
therapeutic co-empowerment.

3. Secularized anthrosupremacist life 
is not always fair
healthy
safe,
much less panentheistically 
collaboratively cherished.

4. Pain is part of evil loss
and win/lose trauma,
lose/lose drama
is part of degenerative
dogmatic death,
as e-v-i-l survivalism
reverses l-i-v-e mindful
ReStore EarthJustice
win/win 
yang/yin
body/mind
nature/spirit
ego/eco systemic thrivalism.

5.  People,
and other organic creatures,
are not liberally loving
and conservationally loyal 
and appropriately lusty
all the time,
unlike trauma-free dogs
and healthy MotherTrees
thriving in wealthy 
EarthTribal forests.


Premium Member Sacred Communion Skills

I try not to speak
ahead of feeling certain
I have something of health value
to wealth contribute
in this our neuro-sensory Commons.

Yet, more curiously significant
for our cooperative longterm resilience
as an EarthTribe communing species

I hope to deeply
and widely listen
for ambiguous
paradoxical
uncomfortably nuanced
and complex emergent feelings
becoming anxious anticipations
and creatively stressed 
polycultural examinations
polytheistic aspirations

Inspirations 
we each
and all together
have complex relationships
for healthy win/win values,
against unhealthy lose/lose disvalues,
and unresolved win/lose misvalues

To co-invest in integral
synergetic
healthy energetic wealth
of positive co-empathic
whole holonic 
holy systemic
root soul transbinary relationships

Within EarthTribe's full
holistic
graceful win/win
verbal and nonverbal
speaking and listening
secular and sacred
win/lose and win/win
community 

Communications 
of bilaterally co-empathic
deep learning
trauma-freeing
eco-cooperative communicators.

A Delightful Nonviolent Wake Up Call

there is a gun somewhere
that will make me happy
a permanent vacation is needed
to erase all memories
living is for the strongest
with the most passionate of wills
with one pull of the trigger
much lighter my heart will be
i omit all volume to all those who 
disagree
bravery is a rusty chain with a 
pungent fluidity
i think i will do it around christmas
for i am heading to hell anyway
then all can ring in the new year
a little less worry free all because
of me
then again, little renee gives me a kiss 
on the cheek
she seems to always read my mind, which
is in this case is necessary
she says good morning by saying
'living is the ultimate trip'
i wake up renewed with confidence
and renee a gratitude hug
i go and fix her some eggos with the butter 
flavored syrup that she craves
she tells me to not forget the orange juice
because it helps her to concentrate
i laugh at my sweet savior, smile, and shake 
my head with delight
for renee is my reason for living and exactly
why breathing is easier in this life

Premium Member Nonviolent Spaces

Where all humane souls repent
of contempt
for our EgoSelf
against our EcoOthers

And celebrate,
or at least commend,
express gratitude for,
our inner enlightened
and empowered
co-passionate communication,
dialogue,
discernment

Bilaterally
and multiculturally informed
by
of
and for
global climate health
and polycultural wealth 
of resolving thought 
resonant wellness-felt 
restoring bipartisan prosperous peace.

Premium Member Earthtribe Identity

I think,
therefore I am

Feeling we are
touching on
what we sometimes
more brilliantly think
and sing
and dance
reconnecting trust
together

More than apart
when I feel pleasantly
and securely alone
on my best days
of solitary reflection

And downright lonely
during my worst nights
of combative thinking

Not so much feeling
safe as I am

And as we were,
and as we ever shall be,
co-arising polypathic
polyphonic
polyvagal
polycultural
EarthTribe.

Premium Member Integrity's Potential

Personal
and familial
and tribal
and species integrity
grows the maturing root system
of spacious compassion's
wondrously eternal
awesome flower.

Whether considering politics
of power,
or religion
of rightness,
or sexual expression
of sensuality,

Yesterday's healthy truths
represent tomorrow's wealthy beauty
reimaging today's wide spirited trust,

Integrity's deepest empowering beliefs Here
and enlightening
life brightening 
Now synergetic feelings.

Premium Member Yangfish In Yinwaters

Which feels
healthy to you?
Sounds more PoliticallyCorrect?

PatriarchalCapitalism
win/lose strategic

or

PolyculturalCommunion
win/win organic

Which ecologically tastes most healthy
and/or
theologically wealthy
to you?

To me,
there's somethin' fishy
about all that controlling economic strategy
unfolding on a secularized political stage
of win/lose competitions
and bicameral debate

Unable to see outside
inviting yintegral living waters
trees
soil
forests
oceans
rivers
species

Immersed in everyday
Polyculturing 
BlueSky Enlightening
/GreenEarth Empowering 
TransFormational Communion.

Premium Member Where To Start Together

Where to start
together more than still apart?

On our enlightened circling parts
and empowering pyramid wholes
of strategic win/win choice

Triangulation mediated default
where Earth's survival is of greatest health potential

Here in my personal experience memory Space
Now in your continuously unfolding
eco-political
multi-regenerational TaoEncircling Ways,
except probably still too eager
for your most resonant praise

Bicamerally healthy future imaged
wealthy past re-membering
re-connecting courage and nonviolence
re-ligioning interfaith green co-interdependence

CoOperatively owned
and managed
health imaged
re-imagined EarthCapital wealthy
democratically empowered
enlightening green communal Time.

Premium Member Nonviolent Communication

NonViolent Communication
might become more
democratically and multiculturally accessible
as NonDissonant Communication,

Affectively and cognitively bilateral
and, at least potentially,
multiculturally polyempathic,
inclusive,
contextually intelligent,

Articulated more positively
as Confluent Communication

About experiences of communion
and anti-communion
and miscommunion,

CoPassionate Communication,
about multicultural
EarthTribe Healthy Communion.

Premium Member A Nonviolent Glory Prayer

Share with me
this day,
this night,
what will feed my neighbors
as my hungry self.

Forgive me
my theocratic excesses
as I forgive my ancestors
for arguing anthro-hubrisisms.

Lead me
into Earth's compassion.

Deliver me
into full bicameral consciousness.

For our wealthy bodies
are our healthy minds
eco-political power
as neuro-psychological
co-arising grace.
