Does life seem to you,
as love does to we,
that virtuous circles
engage healing intent
While viscious squares
of bad-tempered stomping
marches much less gayly
toward escalating drama
with harmful trauma
and persistent
discontent
Positive engagement
does not engage negative performers
as if some lives
are divinely entitled
to redemptively matter more,
and thereby attract glowing floodlights
Upstaging those worshipping lesser
unstraight
unmale
unwhite gods
and goddesses of trust
and compassion
without boundaries
Backstage,
opening opaque
and closing vulnerable curtains
breathes diverse gender icons,
sexualized idols
Muses
recomposing noted feelings
from inside out,
hard erect warriors
embracing soft receptive catchers,
absorbent empathizers
Integrity's copassionate healers,
pulling and pushing together
1 way
with 0 means.
Seeing is believing
but active listening
costs expansive empathic commitment
As patriarchal competitive investments
often fall short of resonant faith
in ecowomanist multicultural
polycultural
biocultural
ecoclimatic pregnant health
for ReStorying EarthJustice Wealth
Of resonant knowledge deductively Left
and resilient wisdom
without mono-cameral walls Right
Ecosystemic health needing minds
with ego felt wealthy sensory bodies
Good/bad cultural spirits
predicting destined climate nature
Sacred pregnant wisdom
forgiving
yet foreclosing
merely secular knowledge.
Bicameral seeing
is nonviolent synergetic believing
active bilateral
and multilateral polypathic listening
grows redemptively pregnant
with multi-regenerational commitment
to EarthHealth wealth
of future perceiving days
and past reviewing nights
Bright,
with a win/win InterFaith EarthTribe
economic nonfight wisdom light
fulfilling political empowering flight.
We believe in truths we empathically
ecopolitically
humanely
nutritionally trust.
We grow therapeutic faith in empathic trusts
too peacefully pregnantly beautiful
to not become true, one day,
this day, if at all possible.
We actively distrust those competing beliefs
with cognitive v intuitive dissonant dissociation powers
we multiculturally love to monoculturally fear.
We can not not believe in/with ecological truths
of/for
deeply etched resonant trusts.
If we assume OrganicLivingEarth, including SacredLovingAnthros,
is biosystemically fully invested in cooperatively healthy
pronoia winEarth/winAnthro climate systems
and disinvesting away from dissonant
and destabilizing trauma terror triggering toxins,
what each of us believes and disbelieves in
becomes more a question
of what and whom we ecopolitically/ecologically believe and disbelieve
co-empathically and co-redemptively with.
