Meeting V Encounter

Our Sharing Circle begins
rejoining our universal values
within this sacred listening
unitarian space

For compassionate,
and most certainly nonviolent,
communication.

We each pause
for at least one silent great breath
ToGathering

Before vulnerable check-in
transparently reconnecting intention
to continue cooperatively co-investing
with this sometimes comedic co-inventing
therapeutic review
of tragic trauma infestations

Usually an admixture of these two
existential trauma 
and cooperative empathic therapy
as we ritualistically commence

"I enter____________ while fully present
in this circle space
in this sacred time
for Me
growing deeply compassionate We."

I listen carefully for how each one,
in turn,
fills in our individual cacophony
of blank creative symphony,

I enter:
happy
sad
stressed
wounded
depressed
feeling fearfully repressed
feeling angrily oppressed
disabled
enabled
healthy
feeling dis-eased
enlightened
dark nighted
peaceful
profoundly impressed
distressed

Reincarnating ancient animated entries:
Grateful compassion
communion circling
timeless Turkey spirits

Horse power natures
Eagle passion
Owl deceptive dispassion
Dragon fly illusion
Wild boar confrontation
Prairie dog conservation
Humming bird jubilation
Mountain lion lead a nation
Winter bear introspection
Blue heron self-reflection
Raven communication...

We have been together
through this Pandemic,
and on back 
transcending less transparent beginnings
of Earth's poignant
pandemonic climate trauma

Right hemisphere heart songs
ecofeminist lifting pressures
resisting monocultural repression
of fully present universal check-ins
absorbing disunitarian check-outs.

We have come to expect transparency
if only because of wounded historic passion stories
already vulnerably shared.

Yet, to this day,
vulnerability to "Win" for EgoMe
is only possible
when also compassionately mind full 
HereNow spiraling our co-invested "Win"
for ecosystemic health revolutions
infesting inter-religiously indigenous 
wealthy panentheistic We

Remain a moment to moment
tragic trauma struggle
and comedic therapeutic opportunity
inviting resonant
resilient recircling Us,

Together
to restore EarthJustice
extending our curiously vulnerable 
universal healthy Awe
and sacredly transparent 
timeless circles
of unitarian wealthy Wonder

As we return
to share what
and when
and where
and why
and how
we more deeply matter
listening together.
