Settling Contentious Affairs

Guns, and ballistic threats don't settle anything They can't, more quickly kill. Mindfulness, and compassion therapies, might restore peace We could most inclusively embrace. Could our court and prison and police and legislative systems become more mindful, less judgmental, by restoring win/win hopeful health? Rather than punishing shadowed neurodiversity and cognitive limitations and post traumatic stress disorders and attention deficit hyperactivity disorders and poverty and lack of affordable self-medication choices, Retribution revenge assuming perpetrators had real-world powers to choose and chose badly madly sadly. Court fines and forced confinement in bullying cultural environments, and verbal abuse from guards and cops are not infractions are not extractions predations crimes against healthy wealth of possibilities for restoring EarthTribe justice. If mindfulness could reflect restore nurture anticipate only panentheistic win/win compassion within and without A portal back through indigenous ecofeminist wisdom, and forward toward resilient co-therapeutic resonance Musicians fading win/lose trauma Wise elders listening together to social anxiety, through restorative becameral curiosity, anticipation, EarthTribal integrity.
