Sacred Spacemaking
Dear Neighbors,
community co-investors,
sharing an outdoor green riverside Commons
and an indoor
historical CommonSpace
Both, and all, sacred
to panentheistic me
and probably more mundanely secular
to monoculturing LeftBrain dominant
verbally rationalistic
you
And yet, co-relational lives of thought
and feeling always matter
to cooperative
effective communication resilience
through sustainable community design
Relentlessly curious
and not the least judgmental
about who eats smoked fish on Fridays
and who uses cannabis
to incense Buddha Shrines
grown from experiencing "we" agree
however temporarily
Contextually informed
by ego-trauma narratives
and eco-therapeutic nutrition,
indigenous nature
nurturing feminist wisdom
Of what we can become
once again
bilaterally literate,
in which I can see
your secular LeftBrain enlightenment
as also
my sacred RightBrain
bipartisan Both/And
appositional co-arising empowerment
for co-empathic listening
and learning
from the "OtherSide"
To BothSelf/AndOther
Trust that trauma-informed therapies
reflect indigenous
Beauty of therapeutic integrity,
balance,
kindness,
symmetry,
happiness
bilaterally co-arising
dipolarity,
integral
trauma-preventive
wellbeing resilience
Potential to segregate
and alternatively re-incorporate
what compassionate
robust multicultural consciousness
remediates win/win together
To recreate safe learning environments
especially for those most at-risk
of not thriving
in a monoculturing
corporate trauma environment
of chronic stress,
emotional neglect,
marginalization,
judgment,
ostracization,
shame served from entitled
LeftBrain dominant silvered platters
StraightWhiteMale monopolistic matters
rooted in monotheistic privileged prominence
Endorsing retributive justice punishments
cashed and coined in Blame
efficiently self-inflicted,
internalized and hidden,
repressed,
suppressed,
not impressed
enculturation
For not being stress-free
healthy and safe
mentally/spiritually liberated enough
to become win/win smart,
co-passionately attractive,
transparently vulnerable,
unconditionally kind
with physical EgoSelf
indigenous within
metaphysical EcoOthers.
If our goals include education
in how to grow healthy
and safe resilience
for all sacredly integral species,
natural/spiritual elements,
kids becoming
adolescent civil service learners
Safe and interactively healthy
growing effective learning children
in wellness mentally wealthy
win/win
cooperatively learning
multiculturally robust classrooms
co-investing in deep listening
to what on Earth matters
Climate anxiety
and denial constrictions
may further ensnare emotional restrictions
for those most vulnerable
to traumas of racism
genderism
ageism
ableism
capital-divestment
patriarchalism
political RightWing autocracy
anthro-supremacy
sexism
secularization
colonization
apartheid
polarization
partisanship
classism
homophobia
straight-white-male privilege
Win/win cooperative blindness
in monocultural win/lose siloes
of climatic overwhelm, unblessed
traumatic lose/lose degenerativity
Less able to manage chronic stress
depression
learning disabilities,
ecocidal ideation
fears and anxiety
of a wounded supremacist nation,
oppression from LeftBrain dominant society,
paternalistic authority structures
retributive RightWing self-righteousness
Unnaturally inspired
by monotheistic Father Above
uncompromised capitalist
colonizing
christianizing intentions
Could not love all
with unconditional
omnipotent regard
and yet create natural laws
made of soporific disregard,
sleeping unconcerned through
thrival of Earth's win/lose Fittest
LeftBrain verbal evolutionary dominance
having thrived in monoculturing competitive classrooms
threatens those who could offer compassion
grown from accepting
and honoring expressions of vulnerability,
disabled humbled kindness
learned from nonviolent communication's
value for radical trauma transparency,
emotive and cognitive intimacy,
de-stressed ripening integrity
Endorsed by Principles of CoOperative Learning,
featuring classroom co-management
for inter-generational
and/or inter-religious
mental health and safety standards
For students, and their mentors
and therapeutic community
and family mediators,

not-just-about-profit learning theory
and experiential co-empathic engagement

and co-passion,
