Deep listeners, like seeds, are germinators.
Generation wears two faces,
as does development,
positive and negative,
regeneration and degeneration.
Some seeds are healthier than others.
Some are positively deviant, atypically robust,
and others are negatively deviant, flawed,
dissonant,
missing a shared median mark
some would see as sin,
which can be forgiven within oneself
by learning to forgive others
for our considerable
but largely unconsidered
negative deviant seeds.
Bill Mollison exhorts us to a global therapeutic project:
Reforesting the Earth
is one of the few tasks
left to us
to express our humanity.
This feels true and right and good,
hopeful and prophetic and WinAnthro/WinEarth,
and yet mysterious and incongruous
transformation rather than deportation.
It raises questions,
like a good parable,
and wisdom literature in general.
I can think of a time within nation-state histories
and even extended family,
tribal development stories,
when some wise patriarch might have said:
Deforesting this place
is one of the few tasks
required of us
to optimize our divine-humane potential.
Did we really have to deforest
to develop a FiveStar FirstWorld Class
to fulfill healthy humane curiosity
and deep ecological wealthy learning
to reforest this Earth
to re-express, and perhaps forgive ourselves,
our privileged LeftBrain dominant historic development?
And, whether so or no,
was Original Forest logos
also Original Sin mythos?
Risk and opportunity,
degenerative and regeneratice potential
germinating within each of Earth’s soils
and nondual mind-bodies
co-arising LeftYang-RightYin
Win+Win souls.
I wonder what Mollison means
by “one of the few” assignments.
And whom or what he believes left these therapeutic tasks
for our co-passionate fulfillment.
I like to think and feel perhaps few,
in a prime-relational sense,
is two;
that calculating deforesting trauma
is a reverse hierarchical face
of harmonizing reforestation
ecotherapy
A resonant full-octave restoration
of Paradise Lost
through LeftBrain capitalized dissonance
over RightFlow co-empathic resonance,
Of deductive deforesting as dissociated numerator
with inductive bilateral reforestation as re-associated denominator,
differential dialectal fractal-fractions
Either/Or
Both/And
sung and danced through matriarchal herstories
of organic MotherEarth with sacred FatherSun,
dominantly radiant Yes of Light
with reforesting harmonics
of EarthDay reforesting dawn
greeting EarthNight climate dusk.
Forests of seeds,
like therapeutic acclimators,
are germinators,
embryonic determinators
empowering already forgiven regenerators.
