Haunted By Wonder
I have become haunted by therapeutic wonder,
within wonder,
surrounded by Wonder,
made of Wonder
these past few days
and traumatically troubling nights.
I have also become terrorized by vindication,
vindictive Win/Lose threatening relationships
learned from retributive justice philosophers
who are also parents
and teachers,
so also soldiers
and autonomous entrepreneurs
and Win/Lose economic and competing political leaders
vindicating themselves,
vindictive ourselves
against others who stand
in our colonizing,
rather than creolizing,
way.
Robin Wall Kimmerer
shares a Wonder dream
in a village market
where fresh bread and strawberries
are exchanged in a gift economy
of gratitude at what we have made
with God's MotherEarth,
"the merchants were just intermediaries
passing on gifts from the earth."
(Braiding Sweetgrass, p. 29)
Gift economies,
when healthy and fair,
mature and cooperatively-owned and managed,
learn everything about Win/Win Wonder
and lose sight of traumatic Win/Lose
much more explicit Lose/Lose
vindictive ecopolitics.
When love is optimizing
we find no room for punitive vindications,
criminalizations.
Wonder is the land of
Restorative Justice,
Permaculture Design,
CoOperative NotNon(0)Sum Feminist PostMillennial Economics,
ReGenerative (0)Soul ReVolutions
rather than same tired DeGenerative Vindications
of retributive justice
and angry,
vengeful,
patriarchal gods,
false idols of anything less than
both metaphysical spiritual Wonder universes
and physical natural planet EarthMother Therapeutic CoOperatives
with loving Wonder as Original Constitutional Intent
of Orthodox Commandments toward love
but not the AntiChrist Jihad
of retributive ethnocentric vindictiveness.
God/Allah
never play Lose/Lose games
of mutual vindictiveness,
retributive justice positions
that settle for means to destroy,
without thought of how to first love
in a conscious state of Wonder
for this Win/Win gift economy
of restorative justice
invited by Gaia (0)Soul Principles
of nondualistic philosophies,
therapeutic religions promoting Positive Win/Win Wonder spiritualities,
municipalities
devoiding fake-spiritual monoculturing paths
that would settle for mere vindication
of one's right to breathe
and speak freely,
when these could be multiculturally concelebrated.
We individually,
and as a species of potential Wonder and Therapeutic Love,
have this fundamental choice to make
each minute of each revolving day
to see ourselves and our environments
as justified from Win/Lose retribution
or justified through mutual Win/Win restoration.
These last few days,
and months,
here in the USA,
thinking about,
Does patriotism invite restorative justice more
and vindictive punishing blaming and shaming less?
I have also stood in stunned wonder
about how our Elders' political and economic independence
from vindictive oppression of royalist plutocrats
provided such a rich fertile nationalism
for further vindictive plutocratic oppression
over our natural world,
de-sacralized,
reduced from nature-spirit nondual Wonder
to further vindictive climates for further oppression,
suppression,
victimization,
criminalization,
commodification,
bought and sold futures
for the highest bottom-line survival
of the latest quasi-selected administration.
This is not what I expected
from an Office pledging patriotic allegiance
to the more perfectly uniting health and welfare
polyculturing democracy
of and for WinWin Earth-restorative justice.
It has been said
it is our healthy role of governance
to make it easier for compatriots
to do mutual good,
to restore Win/Win just relationships
of mutual Wonder
through cultures where gratitude
is planted and watered and harvested
so that monocultures of vindictive ingratitude
will evaporate
like the paranoid patriarchal fascinations
from which they broke through
our normativity of regenerate Wonder.
Restorative healing processes
are also liturgically co-messianic transubstantiations
of Wonder
Love
Grace
Non(0)Sum CoOperative EarthTribe Peace
as Ego-EcoJustice
restoring Eden's potential balance
through gift redistribution
restoring Wonder
about benign nondual predation
while actively pondering
what therapeutic gifts do I most owe myself
and others
and our shared multi-generational future?
What restorative gifts do we most owe all Nations
this peace day
of Win/Win Wonder?
