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.

April Love

We began our late winter do-over
with a dirty ceramic bowl
during a too-much snowstorm.

Well, no,
obviously that’s not where this rebirth story begins
but neither is a cream-colored
and clean
bowl
where this story ends.

Anyway,
I look at Matilda’s mac and cheese bowl
from the RaggedyAnn frosty night before
while an early morning April Fool’s snow blanket
arises perfectly
peacefully
majestically
and really too wetly
outside our kitchen windows.

I wash his late night
and lunch-time dishes all the time,
with grateful precision.

Not all the time,
but frequently,
poignantly,
yet he washes his dishes
without touching Matilda’s or mine.

Why would our Cooperative WinWin Gamer
not see how inappropriately WinLose
this is?

Never mind about disrespectful
and possibly selfish.
How does this lack of awareness
betray us,
a more or less functional
resilient cooperative health service unit?

What does this mean
and what is his message
through medium
of round crusty artifact?

I do his dishes
because I”m washing dirty dishes
so I don’t have to look at them,
or smell them,
and so they don’t attract pests
when they are not well rinsed
by RaggedyAnn frosty nubian princesses.

Is this because I am a responsible adult
and a parent of hurt children?
And he is not?

And, if so,
then why would our WinWin Gamer
assume it’s OK
to not act like a responsible young adult
and Cooperative Gaming Sibling?

Facilitator,
both teacher and regenerational student
of healthy resilient life-skills.

Is this message ageist,
and/or anti-parental?
Downsides of Peter Panism,
Eastern Innocence
without strong ecocentrically mature roots,
yet.

So I asked him
about why leaving dirty bowls is OK
for him
regardless of who started it.
And we talked cooperatively WinWin
together
about why they aren’t so great for me,
and possibly us.

That helped us
both to see ourselves
and each other
in some ways
newborn clean bowl differently.

It was about then
this magical early spring snowstorm
faded toward partly sunny
and shoulder-warmer.

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.

Speaking With Donald John

I was speaking with my good friend
Donald John
the Evangelist for AntiChrist
the other day.

And I had to ask,
Donald John,
Why are you so against health care
for all our not yet slaughtered
and otherwise dead already?

Except perhaps health services
exclusively for those able to buy a hospital
for themselves
and their upper tenth of OnePercent Peers,
which would not be me
and, frankly,
not so sure about you either

With your TrickyDick TrumpedUp Towers
in praise of cheap TinselTown
values available exclusively to the remaining 90%
of Earth’s uber-thriving OnePercent.

Why are you so against
health care, or even hospice care,
for 99% of Earth’s human overpopulation,
especially women,
apparently
from what some of your better paid
have been exposing
about their rompous financial divestment histories
with you.

Why, Donald John,
are you against health workers
but for wealthiest one tenth of OnePercent
penis play?

Why are you
also against
health care for my planet,
our home,
my habitat,
our nest,
my web,
our cooperative network,
organic Earth?

He wasn’t listening.
The best reading I could get was,
Could you repeat that mainstream slower?
While I continue listening to myself
farting in upstream wind
humming a little twitter tune
about big blue meanies
and terrorist immigrants
and threats to the great red, white, and not so blue flag
and fake patriotism news
and fake Christian plans,
and fake hair,
and fake policies
and fiscally corrupt administrations,
and other bad people
even worse than me,
and whatever else
the NRA is paying me
to not think about
enough to say anything
about Winning cooperative economies
with Winning ecological health outcome opportunities.

So, I guess he’s the NRA humanoid
against human health care
which sort of makes ballistic,
in my face, screaming sense,
Especially for sold-out
played-out
combed-through
thrownback Donald John.

So, Donald John,
not that you are polite enough to both ask
and even pretend to listen
to non-NRA military might voices,
but
here’s what I would do for health care
if I were too Yangish Adolescent you.

1. Pursue largest PositivEnergy Democracy effects,
with least NegativEnergy waste-stream investments.

Smaller nature-spirit constructed homes
and more outdoor EcoSchools,
More efficiently made sufficiency products,
Reduced nonrenewable non-organic goods produced
and therefore also not consumed,
Cooperatively streamlining consumer marketing,
product packaging
and selling to the least healthy denominator,
Nutrition divested waste prevention.

2. Multiple health function default economic policies
and ecological procedures,
and PositivEnergy WinWin design choices.

Reuse building and gardening materials,
Art
and Soil
and EarthSoul
and EcoCentric Integrity therapies,
Direct-trade cooperative marketplaces.

3. RePurpose PositivEnergy ZeroZone Products
extending useful WinWin WiseElder lives

Repair business and play and vocational therapy,
Build PositivEnergy infrastructures
with repair cafes,
Grow FixIt therapeutic clinics
for internal Soul and external Spirit
PositivEnergy Tipping Point Balance,
Try health repair caregiving
before pulling out the nearest assault rifle,
Feed and water Do-It-Ourselves
cooperative democracy movements.

4. Share products, services, power, tax revenues, land
via zero-interest borrowing,
paid-forward bartering,
cooperative leasing.

Tools and books and animal- and child-care and transportation
and entertainment and EcoSchool cooperative neighborhood exchange libraries,
and front yard edible landscapes,
Clothing and backrub and foot massage swaps,
Food and water gleaning greening cooperatives,
Community organically rich grazing and gossiping gardens.

5. Use of resilient and resonantly upgradable economics
producing and consuming ecologically healthy long-term materials.

More resiliently transgenerational made health goods
and services
and cooperative investments,
Goods more long-term wealth repairable,
Cooperative leasing
and bilateral contracting WinWin
versus competitively purchasing people,
plants,
property,
especially entire planets,
Extend ZeroZone product waste warranties
of and for downstreaming NegativeEnergy minimization
for future generations
of all EarthTribe species
to toxically absorb.

6. Use of lower-impact competitions,
invested in equitably sourced sacred integrity products
composed of resonant resources rapidly renewable,
polypathically replenishing
rather than health extractive,
and much less competitively WinLose monoculturing
toxic conventional non-polyphonic
and frankly drab,
non-organic high-tech materials.

Cooperative-sustaining co-invested
PositivEnergy WinWin design policies,
Consumer organic secularLeft/sacredRight
ecotheopsychological education deep learning programs.

Donald John was still writing on his FakeFood paper napkin
as I finally finished my ecocentric bucket list.
But my vote for health care bets
Donald John was just doodling one through six
rather than writing
actual Fake Words
about 2020 RealTime Economics.

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.

Green Vermont

I was reading about Vermont.
Their cooperative Farm to Table
nutritional network.

I first noticed
they closed BusinessAsUsual gaps
from Producer to Consumer
back to Producers again,
Farm
to Table
to ReOrganic Farm,
like a resilient
self-reforming
rheostat.

Next
I suspect
some may have noticed
Food Systems
are also Cooperative Nutrition Systems,
at their deep learning best,
are also PositivEnergy Democracy Networks
in classrooms
and extending families
farms and tables
from Mother Goose
through MotherEarth WiseElders.

Next,
I wonder if that’s why
they have so many Sanders
and so few NRA Republicans,
shooting and shouting against each other
all about AmericaFirst is our Win
so EarthFirst must become an ecological,
perhaps even an evangelical theological
LoseLose for AmericaFirst’s
White patriarchal privileged
Either My Way

LeftBrain Rapture,

Where Cooperative Therapy
WinWin deep learning
began Left through Elder SacredRight,

I was thinking about EarthTribe.
Our organic SacredTable
