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.

GREENing Our Neighborhood

Permaculturists,
like Taoists
and Buddhists
and Hindus, etc.
Consider neighbors
extended and respected family,
ZeroZone Kin,
regardless of zone status
near or far,
regardless of species,
regardless of living
or gone
or not yet arrived.

Dear Neighbors,

I make no proud claims
of embracing a GREEN lifestyle,
making green integrity choices,
No claims of wise and sacred ecology
or even GREEN party membership.

Yet,
as a Permaculture Designer
and as a hopefully therapeutic
more than helplessly threatening parent
of hurt children
becoming young adults
in a growing climate of pathology,
Earth GREENS
(great rational ecological-economic news services)
are among my healthier aspirations.

Permaculture Opera
speaks part of my journey
from our urban capital
often slighting our polluted Connecticut River
living water artery
of enculturing history

To this neighborhood
where the Yantic
and Shetucket Rivers
of Norwich
become one in the misnomered Thames River
whose mouth speaks of New London
where once fished Iroquois
Pequots
Mashantuckets…
blue herons,
dolphins,
bears,
eagles..

I am interested in where these Rivers
speak from and for,
and where they are heading
and learn to listen on their banks
for their best resiliently ballasting interests
in where we have gone
and come from,
time’s nurturing ebb and co-arising flow,
and where humane nature
is healthy v pathology going,
regenerative v degenerative
cooperation v too competitive
WinWin v WinLose.

Perhaps some day in Norwich
and New London
and Groton
we may go and come back again by water taxis,
bicycle rickshaws
and tricycle grocery carts,
horses with and without buggies.

Bike and pedestrian only lanes
and downtown blocks
connecting GREEN EcoSchools
with organic community gardens
built by PositivEnergy Cooperatives
with co-invested political and economic nutritional leaders
who graduated from local EcoSchools
appropriate to Norwich’s diverse
historical
health faces:

As Original river forest habitat
GREEN nature-spirit built environments
will allow,

As meadow greened and gardened,
grazed and harvested
as in our colonial era,

As Civil GREEN Rights and Elitist Wrongs
underground our freedom railroad
and civil war volunteerism
would expect respect
with cooperative gratitude,

As we restore our national health identity
after AntiGREENing of Vietnam
and MiddleEast
and Korea
and…

So this copy of Permaculture Opera
is my signed gift to you,
inviting you to share this journey
if you neighborly will.

And, if you read
and care to speak further
about these pieces
or about a neighborhood
Permaculture Design Cooperative
or about restoring a therapeutic
Norwich ClimateHealth Cooperative
composed of those still in PositivEnergy Democracy School
and those who have grown out
long enough to know
we cannot continue
with NON-GREEN
BusinessAsUsual,

Here’s my email address,
my http://www.gdill52.com blogsite,
open to comments
WinWin dialogue,
cooperative skill development.

Speak with me,
invite me to listen
to what we might do better
together
than side-by-side
apart.

Taoist Green Education

Playing WinLose conservative
rather than defaulting WinWin Green Liberation,
sets up the ultimate epic double-bind,
a NegativgEnergy
anti-trusting reverberation
against Earth’s co-gravitation.

If I choose to Win alone
then I loosely choose LoseLose.
If I choose to Win together
then I tightly,
more richly,
densely,
resonantly,
polyculturally revolve
PositivEnergy resilience.

Taoist systems thinking
associates Yang dominance
with LeftBrain deductive-languaged WesternRed dominance
and secularizing patriarchal dominance;
Three dominants in one.

Yin,
here and now,
plays a dipolar co-arising
(like the apposition between 0 and 1,
black and white,
female and male)
double-bound role with Yang’s repression
of RightBrain inductive
non-violent
Eastern Shadow (Jung, Plotkin)
dualdark (yin-yin)
mythopoetic
cosmological
sacred ecological
bilaterally theological
matriarchal
WinWin choice.

This Ego-Eco humane-divine association
of Yin with RightBrain archaic intelligence
is implicitly matriarchal
but explicitly felt diversely,
correlated with how we Ego-gender identify.

So,
for Carl Jung
Yin’s RightBrain archaic Green person
was more of a Yang/Yin
Left/Right archaic man.

This LeftEgo-RightEco ZeroZone Green relationship
with archaically felt memories
unfolds as restorative health wisdom
of full-moon Wild Indigenous matriarchs
more than retributive reductive judgments
of full solar-sun Wild Indigenous
monotheistic
patriarchs.

Yang/Yin wu-wei EarthSoul
derives nondual patriarchal-matriarchal
Nature-Spirit
Left-Right
Ego-Eco
WinLose as EitherOr deduction
BusinessAsUsual over
WinWin as BothAnd sacred inductions.

Where Freud’s id
feels patriarchally retributive
punishing
threatening
a FemaleFreud super green matriotic power
resembling Bill Plotkin’s Wild Green Indigenous One
could resonate with
Yin-Identity
WinWin eco-theologically nurturing
greening Ego
toward healthy re-emergence
into mature Win YangLeft
with Win YinRight
balancing CoBeloved Authority,
Beautiful elegant integrity
liturgy
ritual
pedagogy
bilaterally balanced educational systems,
parenting skills,
Green enculturation.

To preserve RightBrain ecological wildness
and LeftBrain theological diversity
of Earth,
Yang air,
Yin waters
reweave WinWin reasons
for Yang/Yin seasons,
DNA-RNA bilateral-binomial 1-0 co-intelligence.

Systems thinking includes informational mapping
nutritional ZeroZone scales
on regenerative/degenerative territory,
health/pathology feedback loops,
double-binding ego-in
eco-out
Yang/Yin messaging identities.

 

As NegativEnergy costs and risks of yin-suppression
go up
like gasoline and oil extraction prices,
ecological dynamics of EarthFirst vocations,
nutritional balance opportunities
for PositivEnergy cooperative investments
in therapeutic health
map our Negative divestments away from Wins
for humane EgoNature
and toward Losses for divine archaic Green EarthSoul.

NegativEnergy invests too RedYanged
away from Cooperative GreenCommons Sense,
ultra-violet non-violent values,
polyculturing norms.

NegativEnergy disinvestments from EarthFirst health
depend on poor people and marginalized species
to subsidize costs
to long-term PositivEnergy Democracy
of RedYang with GreenYin,
and not competitively against.

Once WuWei thresholds cross,
our Yang human unnaturally-built environment
goes from a PositivEnergy asset
to a Yin suppressing
NegativEnergy liability–
limiting reforesting healthy multicultures
with future PositivEnergy regenerators.

Taoist resilient health thinking
helps me remember
and cooperatively WinWin manage
growing more resonant sacred eco-theological relationships
away from cognitive-affective dissonance
NegativEnergy,

To grow more Positive WinWin
and less Negative WinLose,
To re-emerge with each dawn
more therapeutically healthy,
so less threateningly pathological
to EarthFirst Yang/Yin Prime CoRelationship
my internal Secular-Sacred ZeroZone
fractal
seasonal
colorful development.

Opening Closed Doors

Death
is when my last door closes,
and how,
and why.

He said
before he died.
Until then,
his life had been gratitude for open
and closed doors,
windows of opportunity opening
as windows of risk closed.

I wonder if doors open to further life regeneration,
PositivEnergy Democracy,
further restorations of open door EarthSoul Justice.

Yin’s EarthTribe peace
through polypathic golden rules
cooperative health and compassion
invite me back in
again.

Doors close
for more BusinessAsUsual
Yang-dominant competitions

Too Busyness with WinLose suboptimal
not quite really pro-full-life vocational optimization.
Which reminds me
how grateful I am
for some Other EarthFirst Door
still surely open
waiting
inviting love
grace-filling
positive karma without negative waste streams
health
sustainability
resilience

integrity

Left with Right enculturing synergy,
Or I would already be LeftEgo BrainDead.

God always answers best,
most gracefully,
when we invite with authentic curiosity
and respect Gaia’s answer
Doors both Opening and Closing
with theo-eco-logical therapeutic equity
WuWei WinWin pro-life
co-passionate

And not WinLeft deductions
over Lose SacredRight inductions.

 

Storms in all seasons
of Closing Doors
like NegativEnergy emotions
have dramatic beauty
more divinely inspiring
while watching
from inside Closed Womb insulators,

A matriotically safe and warm
but not too warm,
just-right,
WinWin cooperative Original Habitat
nest,
egg,
bed

Sleeping inside someone
who also enjoys discussing
and laughing about
our stormy closed doors
and curious WinWin opening doors,
and windows
becoming part of this just-right
creolizing climate storm
of Wild Us.

My still open doors
and windows for gratefully noticing
PositivEnergy CoOperatives
are my opportunities
to watch beautiful Heavenly Father storms
of alarming retribution
as also Gaia’s WinWin graceful restoration.

This Open Door
my grateful living
loving vocation,
integrity’s ultimate invocation.

EgoDeath
is when my last door closes
halfway Yang full throttle
secularizing patriarchal LeftBrain
RightBrain sacred matriarchal resonance,
and wealthy how

Cascading Windows

The first of Earth’s life support systems
to go
was crude oil
Then natural-spiritual gas
Then easily accessible commercial-grade
and scale
coal.

Then wood
for crude construction.

Then electric grid energy
MiddleEastern
then Western
then Eastern colonizing infrastructures
pathologically cascaded
down
into local-cooperative democracy scale.

While internally cooperative infrastructures
of active love
beauty and grace of
and gratitude for
PositivEnergy Democracy
expanded exponentially,
driven by both Positive cooperative investments
and Negative loss divestments
of WinNow to LoseLater
long-term self disempowering deficit,
rather than WinWin co-redeeming,
options.

Then clean drinking water
pathologically cascaded
away from where it was needed
and toward where seaside communities
entire coast lines
were redrawn,
and boundary issues
of dry nations
and barren refugee states
faded away
from multi-mediated view.

While internally WinWin
cooperative infrastructures
swept revolutionarily in,
like a grateful sacred tsunami,
economic and political cascade,
social and psychological and historical reweaving,
theological and ecological co-regenerative,
reaching toward livable climate needs
within

Psychological PositiveENergy ReStorations,

cascading toward WinWin Both/And eco/theological gratitude,

BadNews closed doors chosen first

cooperatively chosen WinWin last

Trading Trees Into Timber

I see someone wants to trade
eight hundred year old trees
for timber.

Clearly,
not someone who knows how to listen
to WiseElders.

When these trees were mere seedlings,
they were already exploring how deep and rich
is Earth’s flowering flow
of nurturing rivers.

Most people in that ancient time
were monotonously sure
Earth is simply,
fundamentally,
even evangelistically,
flat.

And
eight hundred years later
still clueless
how deep and rich
is Earth’s flowering flow
of multiculturing sacred time.

EarthSoul Pilgrimage

EarthSoul has not evolved
randomly collecting objects,
like oil producing fields
and all-consuming deductive dominated
academic LeftBrain feasting infrastructure,

But EarthSoul revolves
within a communion of planning
and doing cooperative projects
with WinWin empowering projections.

EarthSoul mentors praying
and acting
communal subjects,
producers and consumers,
speakers and listeners,
teachers and learners
studying poly-paradigms for health empowerment,
thinking multicultural regimes and teams,
deriving new ego-eco balancing cultures,
re-inventing Left-Right
polypathic societies,

GoldenGreen polyphonic heart-beaters,
polynomial red and blue-blooded creolizing lung breathers,

Soul singers,
Nature’s spirit dancers,
Sublime co-designers,
Superb mutual choreographers,
Synergetic WinWin lovers.

EarthSoul revolving liberties of gliding hawks,
evolving night comforts
of a bee
humming in resonant nest
honeyed communion
dreamscape rest.

Empathic identities plan
actively hope and pray for
communally co-embodied environments,
nested co-invested infrastructures
resiliently caring for
with
each generation’s next resonantly imagined crop
of well-designed petitioners,
celebrators
praisers
more than lamenters.

Praised lamentations
Razed infrastructures
Threatening paradise promises
Persistently annoying resonance.

TragediComedy
dichotomy
dipolar co-gravitation.

An EarthSoul
without a healthy sense of humor
could not serve omnipotently,
omnipresently
omnisciently polypathic.

EarthSoul has not evolved
randomly collecting objects,
Yet continues to revolve
this communion of sacred subjects.

 

Note:  I believe the last phrase is a borrowed paraphrase from Rev. Thomas Berry.
