Respected Hearts Inspecting Minds

When I feel differences
between respected wisdom
and inspected knowledge
becoming invisible,

When I discover transparent distinctions
between rightbrain easy Awe
and leftbrain articulating Wonder,
with or without flavors of unease
between invisible time
and distinguishable space,

Then I here and now believe
we are all in deep climatic trouble
when patrilinear capital competitions
dissociate Yang strong knowledge
from Yintegrity's wise perennial potential,

Western knowledge
divorced from Eastern wisdom,
deductive information
severed from inductive systemic needs
for bioculturally indigenous reassurance

Dipolar co-arising
universal health knowledge
of unitarian wealth wisdom

Devoid of anthro-supremacist
monoculturing
StraightWhiteMale colonizing,
predative,
win/lose competitive
ballistic bias.

Cultural knowledge
without climate wisdom
is like faith
without good-humored works,
resembles invisible enlightenment Here
without empowering compassion Now,
reassembles theological beliefs
without ecological Great Turning experience
of transparent wellbeing 
resilient knowledge
within healthy multiculturing 
resonant wisdom

When I anticipate differences
between respected wisdom
and re-inspected knowledge
become transparently cooperative
secular wonder 
greets sacred awe.
