Imagine you live in a daily environment
where and when everything you like
is already yours if you simply ask with gratitude,
and is more frustratingly ungraspable
if you cannot acquire sufficient gratitude to ask.
And, it doesn’t even matter whom you ask.
So you need not be troubled by complexities,
historically epic narratives,
about who owns what,
and who does not,
because everyone you meet knows it is their vocation,
it is among their reasons for being,
to give you whatever you want
whenever you want it with sufficient gratitude.
How might you respond to such power and riches,
to both give and to receive
in an exchange economy
that only values gratitude?
How might we gratuitously seed our fertile black soils
and sparkling clear clean rivers,
and smile back at our perfectly protective blue sky?
I don’t imagine this gratitude power
is magical.
I would not want power to be someone else.
I could not gratefully behold beautiful body
great mind perfection
and also gratefully want to possess that mindbody.
You do have the power to ask them, with gratitude,
to help you see and hear and smell and taste their beauty,
but not to own other organic bodies
without sufficient independent power
to appreciate gratitude of desire
Becoming safely healthy polyvagal powers with others
grateful for our mutually grateful compassion,
vulnerability,
cooperatively trusting co-investments,
because your powers of acquisition
are constrained only by this fair exchange economy
of mutual free-will gratitude.
Imagine, as you mature in wanting control,
the organic chemistry of mutually engaged gratitude
when you were an unwounded infant,
without fear of competitively unresponsive
ingratitude
A polycultural pronoia economy
of positive attitudes
without any learned possibility
of experiencing negative ingratitude.
Imagine how you might have heard:
You can be anyone you desire to become
with sufficient gratitude.
You have cooperative powers
to acquire whatever you can gratefully imagine,
as innocent of longing for the unattainable
as an unborn infant
Imagine, from birth,
this divinely human experience
of continuously
relentlessly
without fear-inducing exception
without blame or shame
without negative judgment
becoming whom
and having whatever we wish for
within an ecology of mutually extending gratitude
perfectly predictable trust
having only felt warmly appreciated mutual regard
Without any magical wonder
or mysterious awe
that you are not discontinuously struggling
sometimes longing
needing to break through dispassionate unpleasant feelings
to become whom and have what other organic beings
do not gratefully wish for you.
Imagine that self-gratitude
automatically generates
re-evaluated other-gratitude,
and vice-versa
self-as-also-other regenerating gratitude.
Imagine you are a healthy organic body
with a wealthy sacred mind
living love where and when
all you can gratefully take in
is ours to give each grateful trusting other.
What happens in your imaginative chemistries
when Win v Lose games of Keep Away
revert into Win-Win nondualistic games of Give Away,
but only when productive for
and consumptive of
co-empathic gratitude?
