Humbling Gratitudes
Monasteries,
both Western and Eastern,
traditionally practice:
The Way of Poverty,
A trusting Truth of Chastity,
And a Life of Obedience
To both spiritual and natural authority,
laws,
rules,
practices
both political and ecological
within their diverse sectarian cultures.
Yet this tripartite theme
of natural/spiritual discipleship
follows a nutritionally mentored practice
of both Western Messianic Princes of Peace
and of Eastern Bodhisattva Matriarchal PeaceWarriors
Preaching a Way of Gratitude,
Practicing a Truth of Compassion,
Projecting a Life of harmonic Humility
Within and Without;
within human nature
and also throughout all Earth
as SacredHome, oikos, Eco
with many subclimates,
diverse landscapes,
interrelated species
of and for Earth's Gaian sacred nature.
A Way of Gratitude
embraces
a Life of profoundly democratic Humility,
avoids plutocratic ego-supremacist hubris,
and grows most abundantly within multiculturing Truths
of compassionate Win-Win choices.
Humility of Ego
avoids fake piety,
finds fake patriotism profoundly sinister and unfulfilling,
grows co-passionate within gratitude's SacredHome embrace.
Gratitude of Ego
grows polyculturally co-invested with Humility
in awe of all sacred Earth's Regenerative Natures,
Cultures,
HealthyClimates,
Wealthy-Fertile Landscapes.
And here,
in this sacred EarthSpace and Time
of timeless mythos-logos NOW,
YangLeft EgoCenters
and YinRight EcoCentrists nutritionally embrace
co-passionately nurturing,
restoring ego-peace as also eco-justice.
So too, individual MotherTrees
of Life and Death
reforest Earth's ecojustice
and cooperatively matriotic peace.
Not merely a Win to Lose
Way of economic poverty for some,
but Win-Win Truth of compassionate wealth for all SacredCreation,
Life of natural-spiritual obedience and abundance
within ecological and ethological laws of meaning
purpose
ritual
celebration
polypathic wonder.
Within full-diastatic
CoMessianic-Bodhisattva harmonic multicolor,
LeftBrain science of cooperative economic humility,
RightBrain arts of compassionate polyculturing health,
conjoined within
positive good health Faith
actively restoring ego/eco-therapeutic Win-Win gratitude
reincarnating Sacred Gaia's karmic Grace
one moment through eternal time,
one day through timeless night,
one eco-life through endless climaxing ego-death.
