Speaking From Felt Experience
Enjoying Earth's promised land
of compassionate
multicultural communion,
we share a preference for deep
rich soil
and fertile green-blue
resonating surf
As our bodies adjust
to rocky and prickly
either me
or not me space
And our minds flow
back and forth
through gooey both "me"
and organic neurosystemic "we"
peace searching times
of more-glad/less-bad memory,
healthy peak contrasting unwealthy valley
remembering felt body trauma
and resonantly mindful therapies
Inhaling Earth's past
vast sacred unions
Exhaling into conjoined future
compassionate communion.
These reflections came to mind
this morning
as I recalled a recent clergy question:
"What did you FEEL
when you first read
this proposal for a change
in our corporate
orthodox
Universal Salvific
and Unitarian CoRedemptive
liberated feminist tradition."
I remember listening for neurosensory
enlightened language
for distinguishing core
empowering/disempowering Feelings
primally limited to:
Glad-anticipating win/win peak mind/body experiences
Bad-anxious about lose/lose dualdark valley experiences
Sad-depressed about my own win/lose long-term chances
Mad-about suppressed short-term survival
odds against overpowering PatriarchalGod's
timeless dispassion.
My gladness trying to thrive
despite an unholy trinity
responding to trauma history
of multigenerational peak/valley surfing
change
Transitions
in glad health opportunities
reforming bad unease
sad disease
mad missing ease
invoking dissonant
neuro-sensexual despair
informing future opportunities
for compassionate repair.
Out of twenty
LeftBrain verbal dominant responses
to this embodied feelings question,
only two actually mentioned feelings
underlying
predicting positive
and negative
and ambivalent thoughts.
One said both glad about opportunity
for deep communal dialogue
and sad about lowly lay victims
speaking against too powerful and unenlightened
religious professional orchestrations
Us v them rhetoric
creating a polarizing culture
of win/lose
0-sum
closed-off
competitive
destabilizing trauma
Lack of EarthPeace
and Restorative Justice
in the deep rich soil
and fertile green-blue surf
of nature-spirited communion
opportunities for peak experiences
of LeftMind/RightBody
enlightened/empowering
FatherSun/MotherEarth
co-passionate revival.
Another wise woman elder responded
with "confused"
which encompasses,
without resonantly resolving,
all of Glad and Bad
Sad and Mad
chaotic flowing mind
feeling toxically disembodied
from sacred healing peace
restoring EarthTribe Justice
co-passionate mission statements
unconditionally embracing
EarthTribe healing vocations.
What no one said
was "compassion"
for the romantic-comedy of peak experienced Glad
and the traumatic-tragedy of dark valley experienced
Bad's
short-term critical Mad
and long-term chronic Sad
Lose/Lose absence
of healthy
enlightened
messianic minds
Surfing through empowered
co-redemptive neurosensory
bodhisattva bodies
of spiritual/natural
mental/physical
crown/root
light/power
co-passionate communicators
Win/win naturally resilient
co-mediating spiritual practicers
rooted in peak crowning experiences
of comprehensive synergetic feelings
more resiliently Glad
less dispassionately Bad
Speaking our restorative justice
free and co-responsive win/win
searching truths
to patriarchal/capitalist
win/lose systemic trauma.
As we step into
sacred EarthMother's
Anthropocene
unscenic salted soil
and lifeless lack of surf
Deadly
retributive
dissociative
polarizing
entitled
systemic Anthro-mind v Earth-body
unconsciousness
Of win/win resilient Glad
mind health and safe body wealth
compassionately restoring EarthJustice,
LeftBrain verbally enlightened
and RightHemisphere
nonverbally
nonviolently co-empowering
co-intelligent spiritual love thoughts
derived from natural health feelings.
