Organic Healthcare Operations
Sogyal Rinpoche,
and all the Rinpoche family before him,
prescribes therapeutic merit
of contemplating my Master's face.
For ecotherapists
the Master of Regenerative Intent
is also Mother Earth's face,
climate,
multicultural health
in ecological/theological harmony.
EcoTherapists,
like ancient saints and sacred scriptures,
teachers and teachings,
oral tradition Tellers
and Experiential ReTellers,
do not distinguish
between secular ecological relationships
and sacred theological co-passions
Because we cannot see
or hear,
feel
or touch,
taste
or smell any difference
that makes a difference
between exterior left-hemisphere dominant
YangNature
and interior right-hemisphere ecofeminist
YinSpirit
In appositional dialogue
and not unhealthy oppositional debate.
Anyway,
whether because of dualistic blindness
or nondualistic wisdom,
or both physical experience
and metaphysical theory,
or all above and below
tipping points of universal balancing mediation,
Gazing on the Face of Earth
is, for this ecotherapist,
a growing awareness
of changing enlightenment,
beginning with dawn source East
and ending with dusk's last gasp
surrounding light's enculturing dominance
fading from East toward West,
recessive Right toward dominant Left
eco-conservation toward liberal ego-love.
In this light's day
my brown-skinned daughter
with lively brown crossed eyes,
born addicted to alcohol,
leaves the light and darkness of my home
to enter a residential facility
Paid for by the State of Connecticut
and staffed by a non-profit Lutheran agency,
with professional behaviorists
and egotherapists,
left and right hemisphere teachers
of deep learning
spiritual emotions with natural thoughts,
natural thoughts expressing spiritual
sensory sensed
healthy healthed feelings,
co-arising Earth's facial ease
v disease,
light v dark,
empowerment v entropy.
But, even today,
as we finish packing
and travel for an hour
and go through this midVirus placement,
the profound and most significant drama
of light unfolds
across the Face of our exterior Mother
Where sun and shadow
again sweep
and climax
and wane
Where seasonal climate
and daily temperature and humidity,
rooted in yesterday's pre-millennial climate
and global atmospheric pressured subclimates,
branch out
toward tomorrow's regenerative
and degenerative
health wealth and pathology stealth trends,
co-arising this day's unique permacultural opera
Witnessing
and celebrating operations
of daily changing
uniquely evolving
resiliently revolving Face
my daughter's new and old homes
of light and shadow
resolutely best embrace.
