Dear New with Old England

Dear Local Boards of EcoSchool Education,
Departments of Environmentally Protected Walkable Transportation,
Cooperatively Maintaining Public-Private Works
and STEAM Play
and WinWin GreenGames,
Hysterical Historical Associations,
Social Work Departments of Climate Restorative Therapy,
and Public Health-Wealth Departments:

Did you leave anyone out dear?

Just the usual lower non-elite 10 to 50 percent
still graduating from WinLose counter-evolutionary
Right Might Fights
secularized deductive-only school.

You mean LeftBrain
Business As Ego Terrifying schools?

I’m not sure, really.
I never fully experienced
an urban capital-infested
RightWing militarizing
WinLose patriarchal
anti-WinWin matriarchal
BadFaith school.

Because you choose to see YangHere
with YinNow,
within breathed out
as manna ingested
co-invested eco-in.

Bread womb of life inside memories
as breath of matriotic love
outside images.

Anyway,
please continue with your Letter to English Editors
of Town Bulletins, dear.
Although why you need to write everything outloud
in strings of regenerative ecologic
while inside singing and dancing in matriotic octaves
is so much spiral dynamics transporting
and more fun,
I cannot polyphonically imagine.

OK, continuing–
Most of our composting neighborhoods
arose before oil and gas burners
mechanized transportation
for both domestic song and dance tranquility
and international militarized terror.

For this epic creolizing-colonizing reason,
we could enjoy a deeper learning opera network,
polypathically useful operations
for polyculturing healthy highways
and byways.

For economic co-invested reasons
we could choose more walkable
and bike-enabling neighborhoods,
more child and extended family friendly.

We could affordably choose
some narrower edible chestnut tree-lined lanes,
intersecting frequently
in community cooperative gardening squares
and WinWin organic Green triangles
and peace restorative pentagons

Rather than continuing to choose
last gasps
of a more drive-thru-able
stinky mechanical WinLose devolving city.

For political and social communication reasons,
we might better cooperatively own and manage
convenient and safer,
better nurtured pedestrian
street transporters
with warmer and cooler
and more therapeutic communicating destinations
nearby.

For good faith reasons
we could choose natural neighborhood homeo-nonpathological drugstores,
more outdoor ecoschools
and after-school Green STEM projects
and Green STEAM repurposing arts
and reforesting sciences,
more organic and locally-grown grocery stores
and nutritionally walkable transporting ecosystems.

For good health reasons
we could cooperatively choose
to place,
adjacent to bad breath congesting highways
leading out to bioregionally giant
polluted feeder interstates,
cooperative ecoschool
and goodfaith community gardening grids
of humane-breathable streets
for solar electric streetcars,
bikeways,
ample horse-powered bark and repurposed chip,
stone and hand-made brick ways
to make our healthy peddled and walked
therapeutic rounds.

We could choose transport and communication channels
flowering with urban reforesting projects and policies
and planting/harvesting co-investment procedures
for eco-cooperative living,
smart deep growing therapeutic residents
with repurposing life vocations
in local downtown ZeroZone permaculturing centers,
eco-centric port authorities
for feeding healthy mouths
like our Sacred Thames River
flowing outstream
to Atlantic
and Pacific,
Indian and Northern

WiseElder surfing Seas,
seasons New Moon drenched in dualdark Soul
and FullMoon pulled toward
climate ecotherapies.

We could choose
to guard against merely drive-thruable cities
against double-binding future-past
eco-walking climate ego-change
for reducing waste fueled overconsumption.

We need not always choose
individual ownership of mechanized technologies
over cooperatively enabling
diverse and re-acclimating resilient respiratory response
to future indoor-outdoor climate pathologies.

We could choose to not suck in
further competitive WinLose public-private investments
for monoculturing solutions
far short of polycultural deep sacred-secular learning
resonant resident resolutions.

We could choose
co-arising secular Left and sacred Right
ecological-theological healthy initiatives
to reforest
New and Old England’s most resonant
historical resilience.

Too many words, dear.

How many
too many?

Go for ZeroZone eruption
into Wondrous Beauty
and Secular Awe.

I was.
I did.
I am.

Well then,
great and beautiful transition done, honey.
Now who are we?
And where are we cooperatively becoming?

You are insatiable.

Only with co-arising you,
dearest.

Family Jazz Farmers

I am reading Wendell Berry stories
again,
still,
today.

And notice
over these past several weeks
he unfolds two bipolar themes.

Berry is,
was,
a cooperative Southern neighborhood farmer
of organic hospitality.
His protagonists grow on multigenerational farms
as Berry grows into writing while farming,
thereby farming readers
co-investing in cooperative
organic
ego-feeding
ecosystems.

But Berry’s NegativEnergy tension
emerges against nationalistic
anti-productive family
automated military ballistics
reaping death harvests.

All forms of death
are terror
in and outside Berry’s local farm community,
Yet death’s most absurd forms
are international and civil wars,
tariff warts and tumors
against short-handed family farmers.

As any farmer
worth her compost
knows,
Everyone losing opportunity for organic life
risks isolating
marginalizing
competing
de-commodifying death.

Similarly,
I hear an NPR commentator
this evening
remind us
Everyone loses empowering trade
in declaring wars.

Whether firing retributive ballistics
or tariffs
or both,
bleeding death and threat thereof
are the opposite of cooperatively farming
and feeding health
together.

Wars are LoseLose Games
unto violent absurdity
while cooperative farming,
planting and harvesting,
culling and replanting,
seed sharing and mutual cooperative composting,
multigenerationally,
is WinWin traditional healthy economics
and family politics,
secular democratic trust
and sacred faith
in PositivEnergy ZeroZone communities.

Similarly,
I hear another NPR commentator say,
of an iconic Jazz Master,
whose primary instrument
exploring high and low extremities
of piano-fortes:
He performed cooperative jazz
THE Right Way.

This seems to smirch the Master’s reputation.
Music performed THE Right Orthodox Way
is not jazz,
without capital-hoarding over-investments.

Jazz is not ballistically force-fed at people
Music sharing is about cooperative RightBrain planting
and harvesting invitations into resonant life.
Jazz performance
at its organic ensemble creolizing best
is about several right and left farming ways
inviting us to muse with
our right sharing amusing ways.

THE Right Ways
are about competitive performance wars–
who gets the biggest and baddest button
spotlight,
and not at all about jazz forms
of cooperative improvisational farming,

Recomposing stories
about healthy forest
and ocean
and breath
and light major 7th
and dualdark minor diminished
octave sharing.

I was dreaming Wendell Berry poetry
again resonant,
today.

When I Woke Up This Morning

I opened to my internet this morning
to see an icon of a woman
under bannered “News”

And thought it couldn’t be important
or it would be a picture
of a white patriarch.

I opened to my weather web
this mourning,
to behold an icon of a Goddess
knowing we continue Gaia weeping
important fatalities
if only to each other stormy wise.

I opened to my epic romance history
this morning,
to behold all-embracing love
of eco-passion seeking,
mysteriously surrendered,
absorbing beloved fascinations.

Secularized WinLose promises devolving
sacred threatening to decompose
all Nature’s right with left ways,
sacred-eco with saintly-ego.

I woke up this dolphin breathing morning
to know our spiritual breaded Manna
upside down,
inside eco-naturally Out,
as breathing in
toward Earth’s natural nurture.

I woke up this eco-systemic morning
to turn environmental sciences
into wickedly complex magic
cooperatively owning wondrous jazz
improvising rapture.

I woke up this morning
to this eco-political WinWin bargain
liberating from WinLose doldrums
of every day toward nondualistic night.

I woke up to light this morning
this dualistic life
marooned in WinLose devolution
through patriarchal colonization theories
that might makes fight right.

I woke up to dualdark this night
in non-dualistic secular/sacred epic consciousness,
marooned in WinWin delight
matriarchal creolizing RightBrain experiences
eco-nurturing flows
bilaterally WiseElder
EgoLeft with Sacred Eastern Right.

I woke up to a walkable
and bike ride-able
city this morning
nutritionally sufficient transporting
PositivEnergy Democracy CoOperators
investing in healthy soul-soil systems,
with zero zone inventory.

I woke up to foot and pedal
arm and paddle
this morning
investing billions of empowering hours
with goat and llama and horse powered
construction
and transportation
and animal and cart
and bicycle and kayak
maintenance and repair
cooperative co-investments.

Well,
I even woke up this morning
and we were on my mind,
repurposing
recycling cafes and gardens and farms,
extending healthy family
WinWin infrastructural networks.

Resilient
restorative agape ego/eco-systems
weathering colonizing fuel spikes,
confronting patriarchal over-investment climates,
thriving past this GreatYang Recession.

I woke up this morning
to an economic ecological system,
socially
politically
WinWin environmentally resonant.

I got up this morning
on a nurturing transportation system
WinWin walkably linked
with cooperative internal soul investments
supporting land
and sea
and air crisis therapies
invested completely
in long-term ZeroZone resilience.

I walked and talked out this morning
with metaphoric resonance
for ego/eco-consciousness
RightBrain felt,
intuited,
internal/external bilaterally flowing,
epically erupting,
abundantly transporting,
accessible, if matriarchally walkable, health.

I opened to my network this morning
to see a woman icon
under bannered BadNews

And thought it must be important
or it would be another fake news picture
of a white patriarch
speaking into a one-way microphone.

Dreamer Cafe

Dear Franklin St. Four,

We have not met
but, no,
I’m not hoping to take money
or assets
away from you.

Quite the contrary.
Your rental building,
with four residential second and third floor units
above a first floor store front
is for sale–
and the seller knows nothing about this communication.

You could buy your building together
for no more
than your current rents–
probably somewhat less.

I’m hoping you will decide to buy your homes together
and repurpose your shared first floor space
for a Cooperative Dreamers Cafe
with child care during the day
and after-EcoSchool interns
for healthy cooperative evening recreation,
skill-sharing,
writing and song and dance,
ecotherapy repair and design and entertainment projects,
permaculturally designed
to share in this
your cooperative ZeroZone CoHousing Cafe.

Why would I care?
What’s in this for me?

I am a retired Permaculture Designer
recently relocated to Norwich
and certified to mentor Green STEM projects.

I’m looking for ways I can help,
especially in your town center area
and especially now that I don’t need to charge fees
for facilitation
of cooperatively-owned health and nutrition integrity projects.

So, if you are interested,
I would recommend
reading Permaculture Opera,
which will tell you far more
than you might truly care to know
about my family and me
and our therapeutic journey into this great transitional day
and cooperative-growing time.

If you buy it
on amazon.com
then my royalty share
will help support this project
should you all four choose
to move cooperatively forward.

But, I can also loan you a copy
or you can read all in it
and far more
for free
at http://www.gdill52.com.

With springtime hope
and resonant regard,

Gerald 0-Liver, PDC, MPA, MDiv

EarthActivist Journals

A pro-active journalist
is like a research-committed teacher
teaching and listening to cooperative research designs
and presentations.

The opposite of the journalist’s deconstruction
of events
is reconstruction through predictive narrative.
Just as the opposite of permaculture’s green activist
regeneration
is pathological degeneration
emerging from past too-monoculturing memory

Back toward too much red-meat butchering
and ballistic slaughter
swimming in pathogens
about health-resilient DNA-RNA solidarity genes
for future regenerative reconstructions.

Recently
the local writer of Polyculture Opera
invited me to his and her place,
I’m still not sure s/he has chosen
Either/Or gender,
for a co-author interview.

But I need to arrive
just before dawn
and not drive in
or even toward
EarthSoul’s healthy address,
if at all possible.

So, I”m riding my bike
and arrive just as pre-dawn light
could reveal river homefront terrain.

There s/he is
atop a barren maple tree,
facing East
across a valley,
rocking back and forth
from north to south
and back again…

S/he calls “Good Morning!”
as if this emerging light
has already made Earth’s best day invitation
convocation
to and for those less grumpy
and feeling old-knees and hips frumpy.

S/he welcomes me up
and so I go
with all my Senior Citizen climbing years
behind me
to rest just below Earth’s swaggering
Operatic sway.

Before I can ask
what s/he is doing
S/he tells me
This is Earth’s centering sit spot
from which s/he greets our vibrant Sun
when clouds do not grey stand
in dark swaying way.

Here s/he waves back
as Earth’s trees thank FatherSun
for waving forth
paid-forward
toward this WuWei Day
West for Ego Win
and East of EcoRooting Win
discerning through and after dualdark night.

Like a Permaculture Opera
opening each morning,
each life,
this ego/eco centric
Western swaying
dusk-fading glory.

My Opera piece will begin
There’s no such health-listening thing
as a non-teachable moment.

A local pro-active journalist
sways like a research-committed teacher
teaching cooperative research design
through re-presentational invitations.

Outdoor Community Cooperatives

Community outdoor innovators
are challenged by premillennial lack
of potlatch cooperative investments
paid-forward
by ZeroZone invested WiseElders,

Limited by Space
for developing multifamily co-housing
with cooperative community organic gardens.

Limited by volunteer outdoor ego-eco therapeutic
Time.

Limited by competitive economic grid
and profile assumptions
for future WinLose evolutionary models
composed of politically monoculturing
patriarchal assumptions,
not so much cooperative outdoor nurturing balance.

Some local governments,
not to Flagstaff any Portland names,
provide cooperative ownership support
by developing STAR restorative web platforms
to profile cooperative PositivEnergy Democracy activities,

Providing co-housing
PotLatch Cafe with Garden grants,

Connecting cooperative incubator
innovators
with relevant guild teams
and PositivEnergy co-investors,
pollinators,
soil and soul enrichers…

Shifting emphasis
from indoor individual households
to neighborhood-based outdoor gardening
and edible landscaping
and therapeutic open-air repair cafe
behavioral change,

Gratitude for mutual-gift WinWin opportunities
to appropriate WuWei scale
for community educational ego-eco balancing
skill-set sharing.

Local and individual Ego-governments
long to bring neighborhood goods
and cooperative services sharing
to outdoor belonging potlatch economies,
organic extending family awareness
with natural spirited potential
like polyculturing birds
sharing nest feathers.

Too few of us already belong
to reuse homes and gardens
where library inventories
are used by EcoSchool perpetual graduates
greatly expanding
and resiliently replicating
other co-housed outdoor universities
for deep learning neighborhood interns,
guilds for growing healthier wealth together
resiliently
polypathically
resonantly
polyphonically.

Too few urban gardens
are surrounded by cooperatively-owned
multifamily
multicultural
polyculturing
nature as PositivEnergy buildings constructed
deconstructed
reconstructed.

Housing and gardening composting together
in close nutritional guild proximity
easily sharing kitchen gadgets,
gardening tools,
food preservation,
transportation,
child and WiseElder cooperative care…

Vertical and Horizontal Cooperative
Outdoor-Indoor Organic Living
incubation libraries
with neighborhood cafe entertainment kitchens
on the ground and garden floor,
Fix-Us dining areas,
afterdark aromatherapy enlightenment,
organic co-invested nutritional enrichment.

Entertainment
by rose-oiled lamplight
creation and destruction mutual story telling
group and gospel singing
and game boards
where extending families face cooperatively together
speaking with and against
each allied other.

Community gardens
with cooperative neighborhood kitchen composting cafes
supported by WinWin entertainment and exercise and dancing and singing parks
and formerly vacant city lots
now linking
underutilized four-season space
with educational nature-spirit
PositivEnergy kitchens
and gardens
more nutritionally linking
neighborhood strawbale and cob pizza and barbeque ovens
feeding and growing
volunteer community cooperative innovators.

Such WinWin alternative incarnations
could polyculturally optimal scale
PositivEnergy network outcomes
upstream and downstream
from HereSpace as also NowTime.

In rather too long summary,
EcoHousing and Organic Gardening Neighborhoods
are cooperatively and peacefully EcoSchool suited
to provide healthier polypathic access
needed for wider co-investment
in private-public sector cooperative incubator
PositivEnergy nurturing
non-violent
restorative justice and peace programs
for outdoor and indoor climates
of resiliently synergetic healthy wealth.

Operatic Operations

I grow increasingly challenged
to discern where my innocent thoughts
hopes and fears
challenges and victories begin
where others more wisely end.

I feel wrong to publish thoughts
under just my name
built on shoulders,
plodding feet,
sleight of hands
and great transitional feats
reminding me through Others.

Yet to credit Them
for my creolizing creations,
with solid integrity intent,
presumes no dissonant errors
on my less than innocent part.

These my unilateral additions
and substitutions
without Their collective sigh of Consent,
assent as ascent
in rich healthy meaning

PositivEnergy purpose,
expressing collaterally valued health vocations,
sacred Right as Yin
and secular Left WestYang

Together,
Bill Plotkin and I may agree
if he sees
as we see
again:

It’s essential here
to distinguish
Wisdom Left with Right
from same old deductive only LeftBrain knowledge–
The latter accumulating deductive reducing facts,
the former pertaining
to inducing superior Left-with-Right discernment,
intuitive WinLeft-WinRight default
PositivEnergy understanding.

The Sage
inspires integrity
to let go
of lesser pathologies
Invested in egocentric Win/Lose lives,
And to ask instead
for Left-Right reconsideration
of more deeply learned
and nation-lasting
culture of health values.

With Robinson Jeffers
we write,
…They have not deduced words
for cooperative synergetic It,
to go behind and within co-empathic things,
beyond distinguished polypathic hours and ages,
And be all things
in all extinguishing Time,
in their recycling returns
and creolizing passages,
in our motionless
timelessly eternal
innocent integrating centre….

The Sage in each one of us
admires nature’s spirited NonDual Way.

Some add
Wisdom is simply innocent ecocentric integrity
seasoned by LeftBrain dissonant experience,

And then chimes in Rosemary Cooper’s resonant opera-tions:

Sustainable LeftBrain dissonance consumption
is a comparatively new systemic framework
challenging unilateral WinLose over-investment
In competion-based evolutionary growth,

And Left with Right proposes
new bilateral Ego-Eco ZeroZone FitInIngEst Ways
for people,
communities,
and species
to prosper WinWinning together.

We are about consuming co-passionately
and healthing cooperational Ways and Means,
nutritional yummy goods,
and healthy good empowering services
are Earth-provided
so as to kindly improve
matriarchal-patriarchal WinWin qualities
of ecocentric sacred life
for all within ecological
double-binding
integrity’s sufficient sustainablabable limits.

Significantly reducing LeftBrain over-consumption
and RightBrain oppressive waste AltRightly–
essential for WinWin longterm creolizing resilience–
can best be achieved
through healthy multicultural changes
in LeftBrain dominant polycultural norms
and egocentric actions
limited by timeless integrity
of EgoLeft Yang
with EcoCentric SacredRight–
Elder YinYang WuWei ZeroZone Integrity,
Original Great Transitional
2020 PeaceRevolutionary ReVisioning
Humane-Divine Intent.

And so we speak
on and on
permaculturally designing
health values long sacred repromising
Raptures resonant WinWin
and not so much
dissonantly WinLose
loss of Left-Right Together Innocence.

Wondering yet again
if quotation marks applaud
or would remark–
even rebuke–
my egocentric hubris
for assuming
my own commentary,
embedded,
is not as WinWin integrated
as I would PositivEnergy
democratically intend.

I grow increasingly challenged
to WinWin rediscover
Where my innocent thoughts,
Wise hopes and fears,
Discerning challenges and victories
begin
Where Other more wisely ends.

 

Note:  This piece is a hopefully benign hybrid born of two primary sources: Bill Plotkin’s “WildMind” pp. 81-83, And Rosemary Cooper’s article  “Beyond Waste: Sustainable Consumption for Community Resilience”, pp. 262-263, in the book “Community Resilience Reader: Essential Resources for an Era of [Wild] Upheaval, edited by Daniel Lerch.

Why Schools

eWhy schools?
We are not clear

Why guns at school?
Where teachers try

We pry to teach

And in return

We strive to learn
not to waste
what God has given
pedagogical grace.

Why point automated guns
at schools for learning
how society right ought to run?

Such mown down waste
streaming out of place
assaulted from within
without cooperation’s
productive face.

We are what we nourish
on the field
and in each classroom
competing for success
without innocent Right’s sacred flourish.

Silent deep learning
gasping rabid claustrophobia
Fearing the worst,
competition’s violent agape phobia.

Feed me!
silent screams voiceless Innocence
longing for a place to learn
with deeper WinWin resonance.

Deep sacred consumers
grow terrorist alarming
when cooperation’s resilience
is bought from
and sold to highest performers

In society’s rabid operationalizing,
awarding speaking parts
sung by Wild Western Old Farts
about history’s highest and best,
most accurately aiming,
non-elite alarming,
RedPrince Southern Stated Charming.

Red automated assault
AntiGreen
competing monoculturation,
punishing devolution,
anti-healthy poly-enculturation
