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
or HighWay
to Hell
LeftBrain Rapture,
capture,
terror

Where Cooperative Therapy
WinWin deep learning
began Left through Elder SacredRight,
our Original OldSchool RightBrain Farm
to LeftBrain Consumer Languaged Tables
for practicing ecopolitics.

I was thinking about EarthTribe.
Our organic SacredTable
to CommunionFarm

HummingBirds and SpiderWebs

Where might we see

surfing on a windstorm?

Where might we hear

Eastern dawn of Spring reborn
WinWin forward baptized
in resilient ecotherapies.

PostMillennial PositivEnergy

Octaved spider webs
with polypathic LeftBrain emergent
scales of flight
hovering joyous HummingBirds.

SouthernSoul with NorthernSpirit

Young yin-webs

Where might we hear

Snow Falls Up

Snow falls up
to those already on their backs
yet still open for looking up
as others watch down,
but not also up.

East meets West
whether I start
east
or west
or north
or south
where East and West
remain fractally
practically adjacent.

Adjacent balance
co-arises
dawning East

and not competing

Consider the Lilies

Natural systems
have much in common
with spiritual development networks.

However,
faith systems
can retain Western dualistic,
and less healthy, distance
from Nature’s nutritional revolving systems.

These,
WesternNature
and EasternSpirit,
are each two paradigmatic faces
of this same, yet sane, Sacred EarthTribe,
one Eco-Out Sacred Creation
and one Ego-In Secular CoCreator
of Creation UnFolding Stories.

Ecological DNA systems
co-arise theological
nutritional networks.

 

Food justice
reduces restoring magnanimous
and infinite nutritional mercy
to starving bodies and souls
down to food as no more than secular fuel
for equal humane-divine GoldenRule rights
and WinLose wrongs.

While nutritional democracy,
PositivEnergy Democracy,
hopes to become
not just our justice media
but also our whole
and holonic
sacred mercy message

Multicultural vocation planning,
pedagogy for restoring ecotherapy
to healthier ego-taste
and touch,
sight
and listening,
fragrance
and resonant deep learning

Nurturing WinWin Justice
for all six double-binding
secular inside with sacred outside
pedagogical
ecological DNA
theological RNA
senses.

If God
is light
and warm love,
then flowers follow God
healthiest
in full polypathic
polyphonic
wealthy bloom.

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.

Sins of School Omission

Great sins of omission
are not in anyone’s book of
What I Plan To Do When I Grow Up.

Henry Ford,
his automated
and then incorporated
financial investment company,
did not intend to emancipate us
from family farms,

Thereby disenfranchising
our sense of secure
and fertile wealth health,
interdependently sufficient
organic homes,
silent rhythmic rural memories,

Fading views and feels of cannons
pulled by slow-marching horses,
mules,
plodding oxen,
ghosts of elders past
monoculturing aggression
at slower blade-drawn pace

Sometimes domestically violent.
Sometimes military chronic stressed
LeftBrain against Right’s longer kinship memories.

And sometimes more polyculturally enriching
rural WiseElder tree memories
of nurturing ponds
and domestically peaceful milk cows,
curious cats,
tribally defensive,
and embarrassingly rutty, dogs,
horny yet happy crickets,

Flirtatious cycling
recycling moonlight
and radiant enlightenment of daylight
and dualdark co-relational resonance
of night play.

To sustain Original forested home
and extending family
we need parental and school support
for cooperative resilient communities,
secure and healthy homes,
habitats,
wombs.

Whether rural
or suburban
or urban

But mindful
that rural tribal homesteading
and cooperative diverse economies
and multicultural politics of healthy nurturing,
solidarity with home place
and wealthy polyculturing kin,
mutually share one
humane-divine ZeroZone Planet

Inside calling us back and forth
toward Polyculture Zenithing EarthSoul
embodied within
GaiaEarth

Ecologically gracing nutritional homes
poly-theologically re-membering health within.

 

Trivializing grace of WinWin commission
co-arising global communion
is not in my book of
What We Have Hoped To Become.

Or even in my textbook studying
What I Missed In School

Peace Not Mentioned

I was listening to our Commissioner
of Economic and Community Development
speak of how happy she is
our State and Federal tax revenues
now subsidize two,
possibly even three, submarines
per year
rather than the mere one per year
of the bad old unemployment days.

Her enthusiasm
continued over growth in military manufacturing
of fission and ballistic pathological outcomes
like huge hauling helicopter contracts

And all types of war mongering
and war supportive
nurturing assets,
arms racist buildups
providing three thousand new jobs
in Connecticut.

Admittedly jobs at perpetual risk
of costing three hundred thousand or more
loss of lives
of limbs
loss of organic livelihood networks
for restoring therapeutic multicultural health,

Loss of trees
and plants,
Loss of healthy soil
and water
and air.

This potential liability side
she did not mention
nor was it clear,
from tone and rhythms
of BusinessAsUsual voice
if she could even see
and hear such cooperative economic dissonance
with infusing love
of public health service reality.

She did not mention
any growth in natural LEED construction
for affordably resilient community housing.

She certainly omitted growth
of community college training
for natural built construction
of and by,
for and with,
cooperative self-help empowerment
builders becoming proud co-housing
nature-spirit goodfaith residents
growing shared organic
community developing
gardens.

She did not mention
thousands of new jobs opening up
to build bicycle lanes,
woodchip and bark trails
connecting GREEN EcoSchools
to goodfaith communit centers
perennial gardens
grazing greens
cooperative Commons
permaculture designed municipal parks
hosting outdoor classes
connecting
PositivEnergy CoOperatively Owned Democracy
incoming investment
for restoring climate therapeutic
Continuous Quality Improvement
public and private
secular and sacred
healthy wealth outcomes.

I suppose because growth in these sectors
is not newsworthy in Connecticut;
These cooperatively-owned differences
between mere public service non-profit sectors
and public nutritional empowerment models
toward WinWin ecopolitically fusing health-wealth outcomes

Replacing all those unnecessary
loud and stinky
helicopters
and ballistic-disempowering submarines.

The happier her competitive WinLose bubble glowed
as she enthused on and on
about manufactured growth
the sadder I became
about her ballistically manufactured tumor,
her absence of WinWin health service humor.
