Outdoor Classrooms

Learning about light and dark
about nutrition and toxin
about birds and bees,
about conductors and insulators,
pitchers and catchers,
producers and consumers,
does not happen best
inside school buildings,
she said
with some impatience.

Who is “she”
dear?
You left out the beginning
of our story.

She is Gaia
MotherEarth
Anima Mundi
Green Woman
SkyWoman,
Grandmother Moon,
Diana…
I’m not sure…
She has many PositivEnergy matriarchal names.

Yes,
and some not so nice ones
too.

Careful,
this is a family audience here.
Wouldn’t want to alienate
our natural wildlife sponsors.

OK,
so why are inside human habitats
not so great for learning
similarities and differences
between secular nature
and sacred nurture?

I’m not sure that’s what she said,
dearest,
but…

That’s OK.
We’ve talked.
I know that’s how She feels
nondually right with left
WinWin.

In contrast to deductive LeftBrain
EitherPlay/OrWork Business as SoldOut Usual?

Back to our creation story
Why are we less likely to forget
Nature outside
co-arising Spirit inside
outside than inside?

She said
Because outside
invites consumers to reward producers
by cooperatively inviting consumers allied with producers
to return to reproducing healthy lives
next season
as previously and polyculturally agreed
since time began
with revolving space.

Meanwhile,
in our inside school voices,
we speak of giving monocultural Consumer Demands
rather than Consumer Invitation,
curiosity,
PositivEnergy return on CoInvestments.

And Farm and Garden Production Schooling
without equal attention to
Farm and Garden Consumption
of healthy nutrients more
and pathological toxins less.

And physical and mental exercise
without co-arising sacred health vocational awareness
of WinWin economic and political consciousness.

So why do we try to teach kids
with primary inside school voices
about secondary outside school nutritional choices?

I guess that’s FatherSun’s
monotheistic responsibility
for producing inclement weather.

Well, maybe.
But I don’t think for a minute
She doesn’t contribute
her fifty cents for every dollar
invested in ZeroZone balance
too.

Do you think our Green EcoSchool
for restoring Ego-Eco Balance
might support
how outside Nature and inside Spirit
work in Left-Right Commons
more importantly
than how they don’t work so well
apart,
fundamentally dualistic?

You mean evangelistically
retributively at war with each other
about who will wear the authoritative orthodox pants
and who is reduced
to eisegetical pretty panties?

Something like that.
My big take away
from how She was speaking:
Natural and spiritual environments,
cultural memories,
paradigms
have much more PositivEnergy say with each other
about long-term healthy wealth
than do trivial Left-Right
NegativEnergy differences,
dissonance,
disarray,
climates of growing indoor
so also outdoor
pathology.

She won’t like it
if we end with
a NegativEnergy
punishing message, dear.

Right again,
Left revolving
Open PositivEnergy Doors
into outside-inside
nature-spirited classroom voices.

Organic Infrastructure

Infrastructure.
Such a cold ugly word
like a patriarchal weapon,
a technology
substituting for a warm organic nurturing network
flowing through a great river
of eye-to-eye revolving time.

Pointing out,
perhaps in as well,
systems, like people,
can support Positive Nutrition
and Energy Outcomes

And

Negative Toxins and Dissonant Waste,
And usually some of both;
Win-some,
Lose-sum total.

Lose face,
a bit of life’s potential
ego-health
eco-wealth
co-identity,
dynamic animality,
organic co-humanity,
conscious network cognizability,
resonant resilientability,
organic sustainability,
memory multicultural existentiality,
becoming being ability,
ZeroZone reality,
WuWei rationality,
YangOut with YinIn co-empathy.

These are all OpenDoor gifts
I WinWin cherish
as I rise
and sit
with dawn
and settling dusk;
not losing,
but gaining double-binding face.

Infrastructuire
of revolving Light Energy,
pointing out,
and maybe Positive Deep Learning in.

Some see only LeftBrain infrastructure
where others also feel RightBrain
Sacred MotherEarth networking.

But everyone without LeftBrain monoculturing pathology
can see and hear both together
better with outside voices
and nurturing environments
than merely LeftBrain inside voices
longing to belong
on planet Earth
in this operatic homeschool
within this epic time.

Cascading Windows

The first of Earth’s life support systems
to go
was crude oil
Then natural-spiritual gas
Then easily accessible commercial-grade
and scale
coal.

Then wood
for crude construction.

Then electric grid energy
MiddleEastern
then Western
then Eastern colonizing infrastructures
pathologically cascaded
down
into local-cooperative democracy scale.

While internally cooperative infrastructures
of active love
beauty and grace of
and gratitude for
PositivEnergy Democracy
expanded exponentially,
driven by both Positive cooperative investments
and Negative loss divestments
of WinNow to LoseLater
long-term self disempowering deficit,
rather than WinWin co-redeeming,
options.

Then clean drinking water
pathologically cascaded
away from where it was needed
and toward where seaside communities
entire coast lines
were redrawn,
and boundary issues
of dry nations
and barren refugee states
faded away
from multi-mediated view.

While internally WinWin
cooperative infrastructures
swept revolutionarily in,
like a grateful sacred tsunami,
economic and political cascade,
social and psychological and historical reweaving,
theological and ecological co-regenerative,
reaching toward livable climate needs

EarthSoul Pilgrimage

EarthSoul has not evolved
randomly collecting objects,
like oil producing fields
and all-consuming deductive dominated
academic LeftBrain feasting infrastructure,

But EarthSoul revolves
within a communion of planning
and doing cooperative projects
with WinWin empowering projections.

EarthSoul mentors praying
and acting
communal subjects,
producers and consumers,
speakers and listeners,
teachers and learners
studying poly-paradigms for health empowerment,
thinking multicultural regimes and teams,
deriving new ego-eco balancing cultures,
re-inventing Left-Right
polypathic societies,

GoldenGreen polyphonic heart-beaters,
polynomial red and blue-blooded creolizing lung breathers,

Soul singers,
Nature’s spirit dancers,
Sublime co-designers,
Superb mutual choreographers,
Synergetic WinWin lovers.

EarthSoul revolving liberties of gliding hawks,
evolving night comforts
of a bee
humming in resonant nest
honeyed communion
dreamscape rest.

Empathic identities plan
actively hope and pray for
communally co-embodied environments,
nested co-invested infrastructures
resiliently caring for
with
each generation’s next resonantly imagined crop
of well-designed petitioners,
celebrators
praisers
more than lamenters.

Praised lamentations
Razed infrastructures
Threatening paradise promises
Persistently annoying resonance.

TragediComedy
dichotomy
dipolar co-gravitation.

An EarthSoul
without a healthy sense of humor
could not serve omnipotently,
omnipresently
omnisciently polypathic.

EarthSoul has not evolved
randomly collecting objects,
Yet continues to revolve
this communion of sacred subjects.

 

Note:  I believe the last phrase is a borrowed paraphrase from Rev. Thomas Berry.

GodTalk in School

I was listening to a newly converted Republican woman
explain why she so gladly left
the less redeeming Democratic fold.

“We need to bring God back
into our schools.”

My reactions and responses
are full spectrum
from “Amen!”
to
“I wonder why He left?
Are schools really that bad
where she lives?”

Soon I came back to
Who or what does she mean
by “God”?

Does she mean GodTalk?

For this Democrat
there isn’t much
quickly coming to mind or body
that is not speaking and acting out
spiritual experience
of this divine Universe,
our sacred loving Unity,
Integrity,
yet also secularizing degenerative lack thereof.

Perhaps it is this lack of experience
with school-based God as LoveTalk
that she believes was once there
but is no longer nurtured.

No longer as likely to feel present
co-present
and nutritious
as compared to toxic fear
of feeling
and hearing
and seeing
bullets spraying
from an isolated and bullied adolescent’s
military-industrializing assault rifle–
not really such a great PositivEnergy learning tool.

Perhaps it is a climate of punishing fear
of retributive tools and toys
rather than restorative healing
through direct spiritual PositivEnergy experience
of communicating sacred Grace,
Feeling free to speak of such natural spirituality
as life
within pro-life deep learning environments,
to be pro-polyculturing life outcomes
in all our rich and deep nature-spirit diversity
of God-Allah’s Authentic,
Integrative,
and Beautiful creolizing Creation.

Perhaps she notices
a predative
extractive
secularizing absence of cooperative nature-spirit grace
nondual
leaving a void futilely filled
with competing all-natural egocentric states
of addictive and colonizing,
terrorizing and rapacious,
exploiting and fake-patriotic supremacist sins
against God
and His sacred society CoCreations,

His Beloved
in and out of school
co-redeeming patriarchalLeft-matriarchalRight Lovers
of graces
within deep learning incubation places.

This Democrat
says Amen
to bringing GodTalk
and GoodLoveNews of sacred Golden Green CoLearning Rules
and divine WinWin Golden Listening Ratios
and EarthSoul polypathic communications
and AnimaMundi bilateral creolizing meditations
and deep learning PositivEnergy conversations
about Climate Health for
and with
and of SolarSpirit SystemicGod
listening quietly
resonantly
dynamically

GodSeed CoRedeemers

If you have ever read
and appreciated
either Joanna Macy
or Bill Plotkin
you might also benefit
from reading them together
as they each have also read
the other.

Starting to the EAST
in newborn innocent Spring
of budding seeds,
both sacred and natural gratitude
for stepping into cooperative intimacy of Earth life,

Human infancy of all revolving historic days
in-between opportunities,
perennial wheels and trees and round loops
for egocentric individual development
of regenerative life

Ego dying into ecotherapeutic universes
of bilateral SacredTime,

as remembered yang backward

Matriarchal Raven’s NewMoon Tune

Ravens dream with Northern Lights
to hear strong integrity of voices
with empathic curiosity
for Southern charmed and flowing resonance.

Nurturing mother Raven
feeds her hungry chicks
through NewMoon deep late winter nights
with intelligence bilateral
multi-collateral
as a bicameral tree,
branching out in foresight
seeking cooperative resilience
resonant as a WinWin surfing sea

Seasons of complex
four-primal direction
competing wind endurance,
dualdark EarthSoul cosmology
flowing Northern strength
of Light.

Mother Raven’s global nest
hoards no more or less
than healing place
for universal open-mouth fed services,
spiritual as also ecological caring,
co-redeeming
integrity nurturing
creative co-consciousness,
bicameral YangYin
WinWin.

Raven’s Northern Lights
matriarchally nurture
invite
Northern Light
regenerators,
integrity of YangWest
with YinEast,
curiosity of colonizing dusks
greeting co-empathic creolizing dawns
listening for and with
Northern Light
late winter Ravens.

Asked Northern Raven
of the STARS
and LEED healthy building
standard bearers:

How much and many PositivEnergy ZeroZones
did we reproduce last year?
Harvest last fall?

Well, Ma’am
I am so glad you asked.
Last year we achieved ZeroSum neutrality
in a few Permaculture Health installations.

We also reduced
total ZeroZone greenhouse emissions,
which I understand
don’t really get along so co-arisingly well
with Northern Light celebrations,
by nearly four million tons
of carbon dioxide ZeroSum equivalency.

This shadows four million less
yet leaving how many more
urgently must fade to grow.
How are your restorative justice classes
for internal and external landscapes
coming along?

To date,
rather more summer climax oriented
toward exterior health and nutrition;
neither internal NorthernLights
nor WiseElder late winter resilience focused,
nor resonant polyculture-trending
wealth
of mental ecopolitical health
optimization.

Let’s actively hope
Work That restoratively ReConnects
creolizing consciousness
will be a useful bilateral tool
for our resilience majors
as they move toward growing PositivEnergy
Democracy cascading
NatureLeft/SpiritRight
nondual WinWin graduate experiences
of deep listening and seeing WiseElder
WinWin eco/ego-systems
and matriarchally cooperative games
and NorthernLight Raving Raven group projects
for cooperative development
neighborhood implementation
and community external/internal health evaluation.

Speaking of which,
Our edible and nutritious PositivEnergy
Democracy Learning Labs
continue producing richer
and deeper
and wider
creolizing
re-acclimating
transubstantiating
polycultural outcomes
for sustaining healthy cultures
through cooperative educational resilience.

And can we safely,
and SouthernCharm humanely,
warmly conclude?
This Continuous Quality Improvement
in slow-grown heart rates
for longterm healthy behaviors,
Eastern dawning minds
and Western Beloved DuskMusing hearts
of WiseElder
NorthernLight Ravens,
late winter NewMoon seed-selecting students,
climaxing teachers,
multiculturally co-intelligent mentors,

Integrity Fields of LoveThoughts

There is an irrepressible field of thought
We learn better resiliently together

We feel better

Costs of Harvesting Oil

Let’s go back
back to before oil harvesting
to empower machines
