The Taoist Stands Up

So, yes, I’m a Taoist
A lotta’ people ask me about what that means,
to be a Taoist.

And, I usually ask
What do you mean,
what does it mean?
Who said it was supposed to mean anything,
or even everything?
You must be a notnot Taoist,
everything’s supposed to mean something.

Well, you’re always goin’ on about the bad-boy nihilists
and their WinLose economic and political games
of climate pathology
as if this is more dissonant noise,
so I guess I figured,
if you’re against nihilism,
then you have to be for some meaning or purpose,
maybe even some grand polypathically inclusive design,
ecologically sustainable repurpose,
who knows?
But, you know, something…
and not just nothing.

Oh, sorry.
I think you meant to ask me what I am for.
If you recall,
you asked what does it mean to be a Taoist,
originally
Yes?

Well, if you’re a Taoist,
and that means not a nihilist,
then aren’t those two ways of asking the same question
of your existential meaning?

Oh, Lord, I hope not!
Taoism is about as existential
as high school math is ecologically organic.

I’m not sure I follow either half of those organic chemistry equations,
but anyway,
are you avoiding my curiosity question?

Oh no!
Sorry,
yes, the question about what does it mean to me to be a Taoist?
Well, that’s the tricky wu-wei part,
there are an infinite number of ways I might define this (0)-soul
revolutionary-integrative-unitarian-syncretic-consilient-synergetic pie,
but, essentially,
if you realize that to become a Taoist
also means to notnot be a LeftBrain DominatingYang AntiEarth Taoist,
then you begin to RightBrain get the economic and political,
as ecological
and nutritional
and healthy
and climate health
and creation story of YangSpaceLeft/YinTimeRight
EcoBalancing Tao (0)’s SpaceTime
for a better Revolutionary TransMillennial History of Health Conjecture.

OK, there for a minute you had me,
but I still get hung up on the co-arising nondual ecosystemic geometry of zeroism stuff,
not to mention the equivalent resonance of Group with Game Theory.

Not to worry.
If any of that is important toward your own polypath,
then it’s also notnot ego/eco-balancing,
LeftYang with Elder Right Yintegral.
We’re all on the same DNA/RNA multiculturing
as polyculturingly nutritional evolutionary journey.

Well, no, I mean I’m not intending to necessarily join your Taoist Tribe.

That is fortunate,
as I’m sure you are much too busy
in your own notnot Taoist Left-Right climate health journey.
Hope everything zero-sum balances out for you,
sooner,
rather than more climate pathology later.

Eye Contact

What is love?
A sea of nonexistence
both tranquil and calamitous
where the mind
does not dare enter.
(Rumi, M. Mafi, “Day By Day”, p. 120, 2014, Hampton Roads)

What is timeless synergy?
Our sea of coexistence
both confluent and dissonant
where blind consciousness
seldom dares id-entify.

Aging time,
This house, not home, hums and strains pitchy tension,
Remnants of bleached but dingy historic laundry,
face cloths remember cherished warm skin,
dryer in winter’s discontent,
more needy of enduring compassion.

Staring through my mirror now,
I reach back into black glazed pupils
diastolically expanding through their memory archives,
four grandparents staring back
through this sagging reflected face,
each one looking through these same bicameral Black Hole
Home’s binomially eternal windows,
imagining forward for grandchildren’s sustainable future lives,
remembering backward through these four grandparents.

I know this visual DNA looking out and back
and through our mutually cooperative investment generations,
sometimes more dissonant,
sometimes less confluently mutual mentors,
bicamerolling partners,
but at least on occasion syncing their cooperative praxis,
or this interdependent coredeemer face could not stare back
through time.

Aging rapidly now,
back toward messianic mystic shamans.
Where were these DNA-drenched pupils
of mutual subsidiary bicameral learning
expanding and contracting,
causing hearts to race and calm,
breath to gasp and slowly subsidize
this atmosphere of longing to belong ago
again?

Were these wise mentors hopeful ancient mariners,
swimming through generations of salty tears,
wet fears and joys,
jumps and starts,
swelling farts
feeding trees to synthesize our polyculturing breath?
Listening for, noticing a new millennium,
era,
life,
perennial cycle,
season of organic permacultural development,
more permanently encultured
with fertile light and sounds
and Time’s regenerating rhythms of dancing songs and thumps,
surfs and silent advents.

Speaking,
perhaps these pupils speak of what they see reflecting
back through karma’s cumulative incarnations,
each grace of opportunity for mindfully inclusive redemption,
love as synergy,
dissonance as hate, violence, neglect, dismay, heartbreak,
unsustainable loss of life
to fly and swim together
or fall apart
back through plasma flows and folds,
regenerating
informating these deep learning pupils
looking, searching, noticing, decomposing,
seeding, growing, guarding, developing,
incubating, harvesting, winnowing nutrient compost
through ancient primal roots
of RNA’s meaning, regenerating purpose
to keep evolving forward through Time’s unfolding information
incarnation, as possible,
avoid revolving backward into meaningless
mindless dissonance,
competition,
dominator violence,
and decaying entropy.

Pre-historic now,
our pupils reflect darkly dense regenerative study,
decomposing wispy wet winds and whips of swimming eco-seas,
surfing pregnant prime love relationship
of right and left enculturation
remembering Yin greets Yang’s dominant deductive proposal
with mutually subsidizing solidarity,
cooperation,
investing in binomial future’s redemptive ecology.

Ancient bicameral ellipticals,
mutually mindful Yang with Yin
looking out and back,
and in and positively forward through Time’s ubiquitous consciousness.
Primal evolutionary ionic self-mirroring,
regenesis,
ever aging eternal moment
of dense strung solidarity
remembering,
recollecting,
reconnecting NOW
from past genetic heritage
through future’s evolving incarnation.

Timeless pupils of love’s synergy
surfing seasons of pre- and post-existential consciousness.

Now if I could remember where I left my glasses,
and my teeth…

Permaculture’s Pan-ecoism

I belong to metallic Earth,

solar-fired water’s atmosphere;

these oil and blood-fluent elements

would feel freer

not belonging to you,

to us.

They

we

are our belongings

but not our property,

commodity.

 

Our permacultural values

measure and calculate

design and develop

primal qualities of time

predicting secondary quantitative spatial outcomes.

Less time constrains freedom and value.

More freedom responds to surrounding needs and wants

with less dissonant restraint,

competitive response;

with more cooperative invitations

for mutual mentoring regenerative options,

our pacific path revealing positive intentions.

 

Missing freedom suffers,

as missing incarnation dissonates,

as absent polynomials disformate.

 

Incarnation’s value grows enculturing time

measured with Earth’s elements,

temporal functions,

systems design and development.

Each element

identity

temporal system and set

contains regenerative potentiating value,

functionally forming network constellations

of prime-frequency, flow,

rhythmic relationships,

sustaining balanced harmonies,

an ecological economy,

diastatic until its season to unfold again.

Limited value derives from ego-systemic mortality.

Regenerate value emerges from eco-logical awareness.

 

Space enacts time’s liturgical rite of passage,

as time incarnates space’s ambivalent function

with fractal equivalent information.

Ambivalent eco-normic tipping points

out equi-valent ecological diastatic potential,

permacultural regenerate systemic values

for changing polycultural maintenance.

 

I could be less positive of time’s resolving karma

without not(not) as negative

binomially defining

what is not polynomial not

and what must be more positive

you see, or not.

 

This double negative binding positive

hurts my bicamerolling brain

intuiting what is not Right

deducing what could be Left

to permacultural imaginings

balancing economies with ecologic

synaptic sap reversing

not aptic snap

fusing neural patterns

of polynomial permaculturing positions

overwhelming this knot of double nots.

 

To be

is to belong meta-diastolic,

I hope a positive existential phenomenon,

whatever that might mean.

But, too long this longish longing

is not to not be,

it is simply a not

waiting for a second;

to not not long

incarnates belonging grace

and not not karmic knots

in negative implicating space

without a proper polynomial place

for knotish naughty

not not negative integrity.

 

Karma double-masks what grace uncovers

as incarnation reverses back

toward naked origin of well-wombed undouble-knotting fetus,

DNA enscribing nurture’s primal covenant,

warm and fertile buddha-care.

 

Uncovered human nature

erupts through Janus-masked cocoon

discovering nature’s

uncovering intuition of polyculturing unity;

and competitive not-lose,

hidden within ego-defensive

cognitive dissonant immunity instincts.

We grow adeptly incarnating cooperative economies

as we become allergic to commodifying competition,

win-lose systemic incorporations.

 

Well-apprenticed permaculturalists,

Taoists,

Buddhists,

Fullerian Synergists,

enthymematic communicators

re-ligion self-care,

economic ecological care of Other,

Earth Justice,

perhaps even Universal Intelligent therapeutic care,

prime rooted in multisystemic integrity.

 

We reach deeply and widely within remembering

our justice womb of poly-solidarity,

regenerate subsidiarity swimming

remerging toward light’s bright flashing flight.

 

We belong to Earth

and feel freer longing with all of us together

in one Earth-bound network cycle.
