Solomon’s Question

Solomon,
hate to disturb you
but I have a question.
If I could grant you only one deepest love wish
for what you would achieve as your greatest strength
which virtue would you choose?

Well, thanks.
Great question.
Do we have such powers? I wonder.
What have others asked for?
Information about popular precedents,
including old age resilient outcomes,
could be helpful.

Some of the more popular gift requests
you already have covered,
in large part by being born into wealthy royalty,
but also endowed with those tall,
dark,
and handsome genes,
and your unusually resonant internal strengths
that will sustain your exterior beauty.

Top requests
include unilateral power over others,
to get one’s most effective
and efficient controlling way.

Then there is also unitarian power with others,
to invite our most authentic
inclusively cooperative compassionate way,
more popular with unstraight
unwhite
unmale polyamorous transgendered
human sapients.

Then there are requests for fame,
although these seldom, if ever,
seem to arrive as requests for love of fame,
suggesting some confusion between virtuous values
and vicious disvalues

Committing minds with bodies to fame’s opportunities
comes with traumatizing risks of vicious infamy,
emotionally malnourished neglect
and, too often, mind and/or body abuse
of empowered condemning authorities,
habitually threatening to withhold investments
in more positively valued
deep listening
democratically dialectical
powering-with affections.

Choosing wealth of unilateral fame
for a well-knowledged mind,
well-skilled
and bountifully beautied body,
will attract both passionately pleased admirers
and enviously displeased dissenters.

The stronger this public fame
the more concomitant private concerns develop
about personal future infamy,
loss of autocratic altitude,
and, with this chronic anxiety,
a growing sense of merely going through productive motions
without sustaining consumption of passionately engaging emotions,
more associated with greater love of wisdom’s resiliently healthy bodies
with resonantly democratic wealthy minds.

In the older age end, then,
it seems we have no other rational outcome choice
but love of regenerative power-with positive reputation
defending against my lust for power-over negative disputation

Wisdom balancing LeftBrain’s deductive powers
engaging virtuous ecological systems
are also Elder RightBrain’s inductive powers
with analogically co-arising
ecopolitical sapient wisdom.

Do we have such powers?
I remain in sacred wonder,
to engage wisely virtuous organic choices
more democratically empowering together,
rather than more infamously disheveled apart.

Planting Tree Therapy

Why do we aim hot hate at each other
causing further cracks and craters in dried-up deserted skin,
when we could choose to heal and recreate
formerly fertile forested and grassland soils
to filter and rejuvenate subclimates of therapy?

ReCreating springs and filters of and for clean rich waters,
together restoring healthy air
to breath more deeply together
as we plan Earth’s further fun and happier rejuvenation,
yet another year, and season,
decade and millennium.

We retain subclimates of good cooperative potential
so urgently needed.
We have no time left for guns and missiles.
We have so much labor-neglected waste and humane depreciation
for machetes and rakes and shovels.
No time left for any isms short of multiculturally rich Earthism.

For this we emerged
and to this center we each return
happier together,
more prosperous,
co-mentoring ecopolitical therapists.

Those who choose revenge and terrors
do not believe they have been given a choice;
that they have been born into a mess
out of which they can only compete to explode first and best.
And, who among us
has never known this victim of Earth’s vast apathy despair
and darkly smoldered for revenge?

These are those most worthy of catching this compelling vision
for co-redemptive healing of their landscapes and nurturing rivers,
within as without,
purifying our formerly chaste seas and skies
all perpetually
polyculturally
polypathically
revolving around and with one another
in hope of further resonant resolutions,
fertile regeneration.

Pathologies of eviL
no more or less
than healthy Live as spelled-out
swelled-up
in reverse.

Trump’s Plutocratic Party

Plutocracy–politics for, of, by, and with financial riches.

What does Donald Trump tell us
about what he expects for us and from us
in return for his personal investment
in national political/economic leadership?

In the past record
he seems to have expected to reduce the expenses of labor,
workers,
producers of goods and services,
to increase short-term financial benefits
to wealthier co-investors,
like himself.

If Mr. Trump has run on his past record
then why would workers,
laborers,
producers of goods and services,
much less prisoners and homeless and marginalized populations,
expect a change of game plan?

If he has asked us to anticipate a change of game plan,
then what does he offer by way of relevant experience
for any public office
intended to grow our long-term sustainable
healthy, happy, and reasonably good-humored, cooperative prosperity?

I suspect what lies behind this Trump Card’s motivation to win
is a significant private wager that he could buy this too
if he really wanted to.
But what he would do with such leadership
once won
would all be downhill loss
for Mr. Trump as for all his plutocratic friends,
their children,
and our children’s children.

Plutocracy could be democracy,
depending on whether we define wealth with healthy cooperative outcomes,
or do we continue with defining health as wealth-competitive outcomes,
and where we draw our ecological political-economic line
distinguishing between healthy wealth and co-arising greed
which breeds envy,
not further regenerative healthy wealth.
