Acts of God

Ellen Gilchrist, Acts of God, 2014, Algonquin Books

Review for amazon.com

I came to this collection of Ellen Gilchrist’s stories as a “Gilchrist virgin,” having noticed it adjacent to another book at the library which was my intended destination. So I had no great expectations.

I soared through nearly all of it one sultry August day, entranced by a simplicity and clarity that somehow never felt simplistic or obvious. This is a rich, deep-cultural read, and masterful art as story; stories of rural, small town, 20th century southern heritage, Gilchrist’s fertile DNA, absorbing and mysteriously regenerative.

Then, today, I landed in the last story, “Hopedale, A History in Four Acts.” Far contrary to my usual dark and quasi-cynical response, I became emotional, enraptured; a transcendent read. Margaret and Eli are who we are at our most benignly human, who we might have become, who we could hope to become again.

I am better for having seen her culture through Gilchrist’s deep-seeded eyes. Such a gift.

Naked Aquarian Age

Did our Age of Aquarius evaporate,
fail to regenerate,
to resonate,
fall too far short of what our parents
knew we should anticipate?
Free love could not sustain
weak non-violent resolutions against
whatever they were for.

Yet, if love is synergy,
mutual gravity,
and creation is this co-passion’s regenerate transgeneration,
how could love cost more than free?
How could co-redemption not invest everything
in learning how to cooperatively Be,
free of enslaving supremacist becoming,
free to come together as ecological We?

Those who stop to count these costs of love,
look for ways to divest of co-opportunity,
ignoring Earth’s mentoring economy
of light’s photosynthetic comprehensive consciousness,
of neutral’s dark unconsciousness,
a fog bank evaporating as double-binding time and rhythm
pattern and color RNA’s free-fractal love connection.

If Time’s eternal unfolding presence is 0-dimensional,
and Nature’s bicameral perception is 2-dimensional prime,
bicameral form with function,
ego emerging from eco,
yang incarnating double-yin,
reiterative communicative processors
borrow RNA’s decomposing 3-space with 1-time prime bilateral dimensions,
equivalent seasons;

Shy winterish Uracil of Universal freely decomposing love
greets Cytosine’s full summer-formed regeneration,
as objectives greet their past and future subjects;
while Adenine painlessly springs
for Guanine’s lavishly com-posted integrative harvest,
as verbs form fractal-recycling nouns,
verbal con-science revolutions,
relearning Earth’s organic language,
by echoing universal polypathic syntax.

Global monocultural power of governance
becomes a Left-brained dominant and reductive tyrant,
an Emperor reified of clothes
to cool His naked Ego-thirst.
However,
when power remains integral within co-passionate,
climatic,
gravitational integrity,
synergetic uniting cooperatism,
then naked power conjoins dark yin-time-ations,
shy bigendering romantic camouflage,
re-birthing this post-millennial
gift-it-forward
Age of Aquarius.

Seasoning Voices

Summer soared,
“We love the Beloved,
so Beloved is our Love-identity,
my Win-Win game regeneration strategy.”

Winter replied,
“I hate the Hated
so Hated is my Hate-identity,
my Lose-Lose game decomposition strategy.”

Spring responded,
“I will fear/courage the Feared/Courageous,
so FearFull/Courageous is my Fear/Courage-identity,
my nutrient balancing consumption strategy.”

Fall harvested,
“I continue angry/happy about this Angering/Happiness Past,
so Anger/Happiness is my Angry/Happy-identity,
my sometimes toxic, sometimes nutritionally enriching,
production strategy.

Full Moon concluded,
“We polyparadigm our polycultures,
so Polyculture carries our polypathic identity.”

Eco-Language logosed,
“I paradigm our cultural development,
so culture carries my historic evolution.”

Bun Dance Season

I could not be me without you,
nor you without me,
as “I”,
you see,
we’re not at home in side-by-side.
Egos seek universality
coincidentality
equality
economicality
ecologicality,
teleologicality,
biological unfolding we.

If no MetaEcoSystem,
then no Me.
If no me, then no exegetical
metaphysical
metamorphical
polycultural
permaculturing,
polypilgriming Be.

If not Be-longing
then no longing.
If no longing,
then no Belonging.
If no becoming, then no Being
seeing
sensing
souling
solving
resolving
resonating
incubating
sublimating
dia-enlightening We.

If synapse
were not quite so closely haunted by fear of relapse
deep learning might Be
as predictable as gravity’s self-creational
bi-relational
lapse of time as space.

When East and West learn to divest
of ignorant enculting absence,
as South and North learn to invest
in other Culture’s Presence,
then permaculture design and development
will redeem sustained
polycultured present planet,
polymorphic peaceful economics,
polypathic co-passioned ecologic,
as PolyTao Therapy;
EcoTime’s Thermodynamic Open-Systemic Balance.

Mutual Messiahs turn Left to Right cheeks,
Right to Left hemispheres,
and back again,
reiterating timelessly
to turn Earth bioethics upside down,
with SunGod’s Alpha cooperative rays on top
of economic (0)Mega pie charts.

Earth’s graceful synthesis spreads wide
warm watery memories of sense perception
challenging bigoted contractions of tree-ringed,
We-ringed ecograce,
lust for abundance,
sensual Bun Dance away from eisegetical error,
ignoring anthrocentric supremacy,
Ego’s solo fancy prance reactionary cultural responses
to “Why”
when we each and all come together,
in love’s full climaxing binomial Beloved embrace,
we turn our holy identity upside down
in solid sustained HereNow time as spatial place,
our eco-entity global home,
grace.

DNA does not speak in spatial language,
we unfold to fly together
across time’s perpetually revolutionary boundary.

I could not be me without you,
nor you without me,
as “I”,
you see embodied,
we’re not at home in silos of side-by-side.

Biconic Language

Passion speaks as the child of reductive suffering.
Peace instinctively feels childlike kindness.
Contented,
content-full,
mindful therapeutic child of time’s bipolar identity contention.

Passion, without kindness,
necessary for comprehensively contented consciousness,
but not quite yin enough.

Peace, without suffering fore-giveness for anger and fear,
redeeming these negative investments,
necessary for full-love mindfulness
yet not quite yang enough.

Co-passionate peace,
dipolar bicamerally harmonizing
Earth’s full-octaves
of informating polycultural function,
eternally regenerates
Time’s spatial econtented
informational
in-teleo-dance,
in-tell-advance,
deductively intuitional intelligence
as universal con-science,
co-science,
re-scienced,
re-deductively synchronic,
re-connected, re-volutioned,
re-ligioned,
re-logosed,
E-logos,
Polynomial Eco-Peace (+)
OVER
Co-Passioning (-,-) Binomially Bicameral Ego-Purgation.

We each incarnate to redeem our Ego investment,
born of Earth’s DNA regenerating coins of language
double-negative binding parental Ids
create a SuperEconomic stickly bliss.

Karma
(evolution, incarnation, grace, research and design, deductive logic, stimulus and response, before and after, cause-effect)
grows a rich compost,
our reasoning souls
and seasoning soils
get out of time what ego-economic intent
and eco’s-logically instinctive RNA-rooted praxis
cooperatively regenerate into it.

Soil enrichment
and soul regeneration
are two landscapes
of one ecotherapeutically permacultural practice.
Browns are decomposing peaceful yins.
Greens are regenerate yang copassions.
Stir with just right contention every night,
to emerge into your new day
of comprehensively organic intelligence.

Binomiality is 0-dimensional
predicated,
predicted, precessive mutually gravitational,
natural magnetic systemic,
implicate,
implied,
instinctive,
camouflaged,
tipping point boundary,
concave/convexly enthymematic,
within each monomial,
within all holonic polynomials,
whether convex(+) or concave(-) in-formating.

Nomials,
memes,
form with function,
yang with yin,
speak an interdependent holonic language of bi-fractal octaves,
whether light or dark,
or both,
as do RNA,
and DNA,
protons with electrons,
are bicameral informating processors,
with ego-Left proton deductive inhalation
balancing
eco-Right magnetic instinctive DNA/RNA Elder Memory expiration.

Breathe in contenting peace
by breathing out contentious co-passion.
Breathe in compassion
by breathing out peaceful co-prehension.

Breathe in permacultural co-operating economic praxis
to breathe out polycultural ecological consciousness.

Undocumented Workers

Dear Donald Trump,

Appreciate you sharing your view that “all undocumented workers must go.”

Wondering how you might respond to my view

that all fully documented parasites devouring co-worker-cooperative ownership opportunities

must have already left behind any semblance of an ecologically rational economic position,

platform,

agenda,

life,

fully invested in a toxic lack of eco-normative integrity?

Namaste,

Gerald Oliver

CoRedeemer Human Economics

Naturally regenerative,
living,
natural systems,
nature,
optimize global ecological opportunities
as co-redemptive economies
of loving solidarity relationships
expressing mutual not-negative subsidiarity,
within a web of interdependent Win-Win default networks.

If we are born DNA investments of past generations
redeeming economic risks
weighed as ecological opportunity
for co-passioning peace with active love for all species,
all nature,
all Earth,
all Universal Intelligence,
then we are an interdependent species of co-redeeming economists
thinking and acting and relating and feeling
sensing and feeling and smelling and tasting
touching and respecting and appreciating ecologically balanced reasons,
seasons of time and pattern and rhythm,
where fasting advents both precede and follow
cornucopic polycultural seasons for all cells and organisms.

We find and sustain co-therapeutic relationship balance
half way between Yang-ego’s deductive-reductive immunity boundaries
and Yin-eco’s intuitive receptive co-operativity,
co-redemptivity,
correlation-ability,
mutual empathic gratitude
trans-actional polypathic multisystemic relationships.

If co-redeemers are messiahs
then we are also mutual messiahs
as we intend cooperative Win-Win eco-normative and eco-logical outcomes.

Perhaps mutual messiahs find it simpler to wrestle with,
rather than against death’s pain and suffering,
to figure out what to divest of
by reconnecting within each moment’s present opportunity
to what and whom and when and where and why we invest integratively
with each “Other”s health and well-being,
co-redemptive economically rational, yet passionate, logic,
as well as Right-brain’s intuitive temperate sense of balance,
proportion,
enthymematic syntax of permaculturing RNA rhythm.

Ego’s Logos as co-determinate partner
with Eco’s Right-brain Mythos
co-redemptive design with re-creating developmental revolutions.

De-composting Love

Can you truly love a rock,
you’ve never directly seen or touched,
or some other relatively inanimate object,
like ego-centrism,
or a steel wall?

If so, then how is your love
different from a more unilateral “appreciate you”?

If not, then what is different between your “love”
and your “co-passions”,
compassion,
passion with and toward,
but not “passionate energy received from,” necessarily,
or, Yes! Necessarily!?

How do you know your love is also co-passion,
reiterated and returned,
however un-equivalently expressed it may be?
Is this not a matter of positive teleological faith,
of enthymematic hope,
in that boundary time between stimulus and response,
before and after,
subject and objective,
identity and relationship,
in an environ-mental health that is,
by default,
setting aside mutual immunity barriers,
to more courageously and opportunistically co-habitate,
co-incident,
co-passion love,
rather than fear, anger, anxiety,
all dissonance settings of negative default,
oppressive to self,
suppressive of others’ natural positivity,
default tipping point barometer,
that the value of one positive opportunity
edges out double-binding disvalues of two passively negative non-risk takers,
hoarding against a future
more fully defended as a contentious ally of death-defying hope.

Did You Notice?

Did you notice:

What you have for breakfast,
despite what Mom said,
is probably less important than who you do
and do not
have breakfast with,
and why?

The brand and make and year of your car
are less significant to your well-being
than the costs to you,
your family,
and their future?

The quality of your time
is less about how much you earn
and more about what you do,
and what you are unwilling to do,
to earn it?

You probably never respond to questions about how much you care for someone with the amount of time you spend with them,
“about 8.5 hours per week,”
while you might discuss how often,
and for how long,
you miss them in a week,
if at all?

When the quality of your well-intended humor
is measured in the number of smiles responding,
rather than the number of non-responses,
then you are in some serious trouble?

“Living” nature is not distinguished from “dead” nature,
by calculating quantities of difference,
but by noticing differences in quality of relationships.

You might define your love life as any hours without fear or anger,
or you might find that absence of fear and anger is necessary,
but not sufficient, for loving awareness?
If you have a higher bar,
faces of apathy and despair
are companions not possible to embrace
with love’s sufficiently empathic resonance.

DNA is a newer anthro-cultural language of intelligence
compared to older RNA regenerative non-self-consciousness?
Wouldn’t we be foolish
to disrespect our ecological Elder’s mental-environ conscience
to listen monopolistically enslaved to Left-brain’s competing dominance,
with comparatively adolescent language choices?
What good is deductive reasoning
attenuated from it’s natural,
and most nutritious,
source of fuel fertility?

Throwing out RNA’s primal
and ubiquitous regenerative intelligence
to value only DNA’s more recent humane reiteration,
reflecting on this (0)-Core prime consciousness,
throws out a cooperatively healthy baby
to hoard the bathwater?
Better outcomes could ensue
for the baby,
the water,
and you,
by bathing together in this nuclear stew.

You fall asleep in front of the TV
trying to stay awake
to watch something that apparently is much less entertaining
and healthy
than pursuing your own nightly dreams?

Living and dying are opposites,
but “living” comes in a spectrum
from “full” through “suffering dissonance”;
yet “dying” never comes in a correlated spectrum
from “purgative alacrity” through “contented confluence”?

When you stop using your mind
for anything resembling socially constructive purposes
it continues rattling on day after day
as if anyone were still attending;
but when you stop using your body
it almost immediately begins shutting down
as if no one needed tending?
