Herman Daly’s experiential math
adds number of PositivEnergy fish
in Earth’s sacred living oceans
to measure natural PositivEnergy potential
of and for further synergetic cooperation.

This total regenerative EnergyWealth potential,
now planted and harvested by Earth’s EnergyCapital investors,
is measured
by adding and compiling,
possibly even hoarding,
the fish caught each season,
especially this season.

The total number harvested
was, premillennially speaking,
limited by the limited number
of harvesting boats and nets,
human enterprising arms and legs
and fishing commercial-nutritional heads.

But,
as LeftBrain adding and comparing
and egocentrically competing numbers
of shrinking fish harvested post-millennially
decrease,
we think (wrongly) we need to add to the number of boats
and nets
and commercial mindbody LeftBrain dominant interests

Interests increasingly prone to
retaliate against greedy numbers of past generations
while subtracting,
un-restoring,
the original potential quantity

Smashed Turkey YamJam

My parenting totem
was the Hawk
of bicamerally perfect egocentric vision
usually greeted by a loud Yang squawk
and vigorous walk
in the other wrong direction.

My WiseElder totem
is the Turkey,
CoMessiah of CoRedemptive Dying
as notnot loving EarthTribe’s future lives.

At eight,
my totem was muse Dragonfly,
greeting and bowing
to Eastern red sky dawns,
mysterious wordless delight.

Yet also warning me,
to get to Hawk yang strength
on into Turkey WiseElder resilient years
I must bear through
mym early adulthood Bear totem,
adolescent polypathic dirges
of synergetic introspection,
lust for perenially nutritious Hibernation Dreams
of eremetic Earth
as Paradise
now climatically
and critically
and pathologically overpopulating Lost,
awaiting total colonization of spring
as AmericaFirst Welfare Found.

Although
these multicultures and DNA tinctures,
scents and colors,
from Eastern DragonFly
through Southern Bear
through Western Hawk
through North American Turkey
were not inter-relationally accessible
until I learned
to translate polypathic Turkey
into polyphonic fractaled
perennially recycled
ego healthy ecowealth.

Turkeys
prefer resilient WiseElder years
and bearing hawk regimes
cooperatively thriving.

To sustain Dragonfly endurance
through WinLose competitions
Business as not-WinWin Usual.

Turkeys
appreciate sleeping through roosting nights
without WinLose nightmarish interruptions.

Turkeys
cannot tolerate
LoserEgo against Loser EcoPolitics
because such lack of self and other esteem
breeds darkish NegativEnergy climates
of pathology.

Turkeys
link their WiseElder ego-internal loops
and caustic lumps
with their EcoNatural external climates
and improvising clumps.

WiseElder Turkeys
and Hawks
and Bears
and muse-dreaming DragonFlies
bear through nuturing Energy Democracies,
co-operative restorations Turkey-invested
fully grateful
for mythic GoldenRule

LeftBrain polytheistically pray,
but never prey,
and beg
and full-flight non-violently demand
other WiseElder Turkeys
to EarthLove our WinWin way back
to reconnect Grazing Commons
where lies now our epic pathology mess.

Mature resilient Turkey multicultures,
with natural-spiritual nondual

prefer to grow restorative multigenerational justice
with all nutritional positive energy Tribes
of and for Democratic Life
and no more plutocratic
AntiTurkey suffering death

And have the turkey nerve
to call this Commons Easter Rights

and InterDependent Turkey Day.

Turkeys
Left with Right

interdependent Yang with nondual empty Yin
Zero-WinWin summations
reweaving bilateral wu-wei memories

like turkey gravy

My ultraviolet turkey gravy
has a lot to say
which might not be the case
after just this one bright day.

She sings in pro-life

She speaks to restore

My bilateral nondual turkey
holds up outside racing natures
to her inside harmonic spirits,
hoped for well-nurtured egocenter

without WinLose distractions.

Pride and Mystic Wonder

I told the nun in charge
of Religious Education
If asked about sexual orientation
I will say
I’m gay.

I want to teach
deep listening learning
not how not to lie.

She wonders why
such forthrightness
feels so important
Are you a recruiter
for gay pride?
Are you a political activist?

Gay pride
makes as much sense to me
as straight pride,
as if our sexual orientations
were something chosen,
accomplished through heroic effort,
like mental health
in a too LeftYang Patriarchal culture
forgetting Left with Right bilateral mindbodies
are sacred gifts
of karmic grace,
to live here with now
in this cosmically interdependent time
as place.

Yet,
while gay or straight pride,
maybe even transgender supremacy,
feel competitively bullying inappropriate,
given these are gifts
not originating from our own accomplishment,
so too
shame and denial
of whichever of these diverse non-predative
victimless
sexually co-passionate orientations
greeted our FirstDay incarnation,
call it PositivEnergy karma
and call it ego-ecosystemic grace,
I see no point in shame,
nor even blaming a corrupt moral environment
for who and where and why
I am meant to sensory-spiritually become.

To lie
would be to teach shame
for karmic grace as we deep learning listening are,
and have been
co-passionately non-violent
born.

My veiled
and roundly black habited nun
observes
Sometimes what and how
and who and why we learn to ego-ecologically love
lies between orthodox happiness
and heterodox despair.

Rabbi Abraham Heschel
taught sacred Love
as Wonder and Awe experience

Joy and Ecstasy
their persuasive climax destination

Toward a mystic flash
of Teilhard’s brilliant CoOperative Omega Pointed Bridge
for reborn synergetic baptism,
but this has not been my path
or hoped for destination,
certainly not warm regarding sexual co-passions
as cause for voluptuous public celebrations
and pride of wonder and awe
I have of myself alone,
or not,
accomplished.

Perhaps
for Teacher Abraham
Wonder and Awe
and sacred Love,
regardless of sexual passions,
all three in one,
reside between sacred WinWin
healthy multiculturing hope
and secular monoculturing LoseLose despair,
pathological,
totalitarian,
fundamentally anti-evangelical.

But,
why would Rabbi Heschel
be a teaching icon
for a Catholic Religious Education Director?

Who can still remember
a Jewish girl child
who knew more Deep Learning Wonder
and Awesome Sacred Ecology
than could be erased
by MisEducation
settling for bleached out lies
against multiculturing mysticism,
eco-spiritual matriotic experience
of warm radiant days
and dualdark NewMoon
revolutionary nights.

Who Are You: Remix

Who are you
on your best WiseElder day,
in your healthiest cultural reinvesting place
and time?

I am an ecological theology writer
with my pen,
a fighter
with my punishing,
shaming and blaming words,
a delighter
without swords
for unnecessary self-defense.

Who are you?

I am a parent
and a gay white son
married to a proud black man
of parents who taught nature as not spirit,
and spirit as not nature,
logos as not mythos,
Yang as not Yin,
rather than the other co-arising facing
nondualistic Way.

Who are you?

I am a seeker
of transparency
in multicultural love
for work as play
as fun
as joy.

Who are you?

I am a Tao-parent
of and for polypathic deep learning synergy
of racing LeftBrain Yangish health
with way less wealth
of guns
and Might
makes LeftBrain authoritarian
Right.

Who are you?

I am active Hope
sometimes graceful,
going out of my listening way
to avoid prideful,
needful,
lack of speech soulful,
without gratitude
for positive energy attitude.

I am for democracy of cooperative nutritional health trends
and grand green and blue wealthy river bends;

I am Hope for golden ends
and means
and ways
and ratios
and elixirs,
medicines
and meditations
and ultra violet bilateral therapies
of full-spectral colors and resonance,
sound and resilience.

Who are you?

I am a matcher
of ego
with Earth’s economic justice.

I am a hatcher
of Left with RightWing Holy Synergistics.

I am a snatcher
restoring just pro-life rightness
nondual EarthEast
with Western PostMillennial
EcoLogistics.

I am a WinWin pearl nabber
regenerating DNA
with RNA,
healthing cultural PolyPhonitics.

Who are you?

I am a singer
and a dancer,
a double-bound winger
and a love prancer.

Who are you?

I am notnot you
as we co-arise cooperative identities together.
I am notnot self-uniting
as we co-gravitate to sacred gather.

Who are you?

Taliban Tales

How wrong could I be
were I to assume
most Taliban leaders
in Afghanistan
have aging parents?

Especially mothers,
as it is not specifically healthy
to be a male in such a violent
raped
poverished,
nutritionally-barren place

And Taliban parents
might also have kids hungry and thirsty
and afraid to give us grandkids,
for economic and political starvation reasons.

It might occur to healthy energy democratic leaders
thinkers and feelers
that feeding
and restoring healthy therapeutic ecosystems
could grow better polycultural Afghanistan wealth outcomes
promised by Allah
and YHWH alike.

Restorative, rather than more extractive, retributive justice
could work more WinWin effectively,
than continuing bad karma retributive violent goals
of assured mutual environmental destruction
and inhumane death and dying and terrorizing
paranoid children,
and other forms of almost incalculable dismay
through strategies rooted in punishment
and threat
and counter-terrorism terror,
visiting the sins of fathers
upon Yang soldiers
and Yin sacred daughters and aging mothers alike.

The Naked CombOver

Why is it, dear,
that the combover speaks as brazenly
as a fat corporate-fed,
way too marbled whitemeat
Naked Emperor
at a Cooperatively Progressive Costume Party?

Because his favorite soundbites are
“I am the best hair-dressed Emperor
these RedStates have ever fed”
followed too loudly by,
“And I am here to listen to
and help you
and God bless AmericaIncorporated First!!!!!”

And you know
he is nakedly lying
from the top of his bald combovered head
all the way through the shit-stained bit
about listening,
because we know he’s too busy twittering
in the morning
to step into
his best-dressed CEO corporate-fat role
of fear-mongering
and monocultural apartheid
anger-militarized mismanagement,
and other terrifying LoseLose pushbutton regimes
of paranoid and fascist
Supreme Naked Emperor images
still trying to work that hopeless combover.

Honey, really,
don’t you have anything healthier to obsess about?

Yes, but our kids’ teachers
believe secular natural egosystems
are something other than the exterior LeftBrain face
of sacred spiritual RightBrain ecosystems,

Which is what you plan to obsess about next,
but its difficult to find any who seem likely to listen
to secular-sacred harmonic students,
much less parents,
any more or less
than my own evangelical Christian parents did,
or the local Catholic priest currently Holy Communions
in that apartheid cathedral
built of universal historical matter.

Well, it does sound like we have a lot
on our Their Not Listening communion plates.
Perhaps if we first listened better
to their long crippled suffering
they might be able to hear ours better?

That’s a thought,
although it doesn’t seem to be working
with the POTUS.

Well, dear,
don’t beat yourself up.
Remember the verse about having ears to hear
and eyes to see
that a combover
does not suggest deep powers
to co-passionately listen
to one’s own naked and vulnerable aging self.

Stuck in perpetual bullying adolescence
as learned in military school,
more likely.

I wonder how he would look
in a Marine cut?

If not healthier,
then at least more honest.

Voting With Our Feet

It seemed to me,
when I was eight,
U.S. Christian disciples and teachers
had been given so much grace

And had fundamentally boiled it down
to settling for such small subcontinental WhitePatriarchal colonizing gratitude
for God’s universally healthy
multicultural EarthTribes.

It was so simple,
when I was of sufficient college-bound age,
to simply shop around
play around
work around
the Great PolyPathic Perennial Philosophy
to find others like my multiculturally grateful self.

I voted with my feet
but also quickly joined my heart
and WinWin regenerative mind,
my nature as my spirit
flowing out
and echoing back
with resonant polyphonic four-toned gospels,
abundant integrity of Truths
with Beauty
in Golden Ratios of Good
with just plain mono-supremacist BadPolitics

Climates of healthy wealth prevailing
still with some rainy Monday pre-millennial pathology.

I was, and remain,
a conscientious objector
to colonizing Christian fundamental-fascist supremacy
of bad attitude
toward sacred polypathic polycultures
within our universal HolySpirit-Nature.

For no RealTime Jewish Teacher
would separate these two,
YangNature with YinSpirit
conjoined in YHWH;
bicameral-trinitarian,
patriarchal-matriarchal
ego-eco
humane-divine SacredHead,
AlphaPoint BlackHole,
Earth’s AnimaMundi,
Secular/Sacred Original Intent.

I was a conscientious objector to Vietnam violence,
to war and slavery and forced extractions
and violent competitions aborting yet-unborn restorative therapies.

A C.O. to less than co-passionate love
for disenfranchised and under-valued women
and for sadly maladapted and under-educated
brilliantly healthy cooperative post-millennial children,

Who somehow know pre-millennial Climate Change
as opportunities to face post-millennial Climate Pathologies.

What if a polypathically loving child,
or even a WiseEldering adult,
were free to Conscientiously Object with their feet.
Object to nationalistic pathologies,
to aggressive intent of too viciously circling
and hoarding predators,
trading bad-faith threats of economic-political OnePercent Supremacy
enforcing and securing 99% apartheid
while promising/threatening Gospel
of PatriarchDominant Orthodox Grace
not including yin-resilient integrity
of Holy ZeroZen EarthSpirit-Nature

Filling with richer
and deeper liturgical dancing,
more sacred ego-ecosystemic WinWin balance
of AnimaMundi,
notnot just post-millennially (0)Sum-Core-Soul
but Original Intent
of DNA-RNA Multi-PolyPhonic RegeneratorGod.

What if Conscientious Objectors
felt free to follow our diverse Holy EarthSoul vocations
wherever on Earth we are most deeply invited
to DNA with RNA co-invest?

Where meet our hearts
and minds
beyond and through any nationalistic boundaries,
cultural invitations
we might find
in response to merely passing an investment
and personal-political education application
with flying rainbow colors
demonstrating experience to date with nurturing
maturing as a healthy cooperative-loving
grateful
and actively integrating potential co-investor,
and supporter,
and voter
for multicultures of healthy resilience,
resonance,
robust nutritional wealth
long awaited by all international Conscientious Objectors
to National Rights and Wrongs
reigning supreme over Earth Climate and
Energy and
Nutrition and
Health Matriotic Rights and Patriotic Wrongs.

If I receive recruitment brochures
on 100% recycling paper
for Conscientious Objectors to extractive colonizing mentalities wanted
in Malaysia
and Fiji,
Panama
and Brazil,
Egypt
and South Africa,
Ireland
and Turkey,
Israel
and India,
Japan
and North and South Korea,
Iceland
and Australia,
looking to attract
objectors to Totalitarian Militaristic Cultures
and EnCulturation,
in all its secular
and quasi-sanctimonious
fundamentally xenophobic apartheid deformations,

Looking for those supporting
a thinner healthier non-violent
Switzerland of nutritional
and energy democracy,
Rights to HealthingEarth,
Mother Forest inhabitations,
Pacific Beach combing and networking
and sand reweaving waves of time ourselves.

What Conscientious Objector could resist
such lavish invitations
to walk away from those left pre-millennially behind
to think and stink its OK
and safer
to buy and sell and extract each others’ sacred vocations?
To health and healing and healer,
to co-redeem,
restore just and peaceful karma cultures.

What God has conjoined
as Sacred EarthTribes
re-integrating cooperative ParadiseLost
designed best for creole WinWinning
together Elite and NotNotElite.

I have always wanted healthier cooperative wealth,
not only with Earth’s humane conscientious objectors
to Business As Usual Apartheid,
but also bilaterally co-invested ego-ecoconscientious advocates
mentors
teachers
parents most gracefully abundant
and awesomely edible forest-dwellers,
restoring turquoise surfing oceans,
breathing in
as out,

Without annoying distractions
of nationalistic apartheid
investing in wall-building
where YHWH has planted conjoining rivers,
heading from and toward MatrioticEarth’s
deeply learning
sacred ecological
polypathic theology.

Wendell Berry’s Boutique

Organic
zero-waste stream
permaculturally designed
and cooperatively owned
farms
are no more or less Democratic-Boutique ecopolitics

Than AgriBusiness
extractive anti-ecological
rather than restorative-ecosystemic therapy,
competitively owned
and Business as Usual capitalist-colonizing designed
multinational conglomerates of anthro-hubris greed,
are no more or less Totalitarian Universal Supremacist ecopolitics.

I heard a young woman farmer
raising grass-fed cattle
on her small organic farm
designed to restore health to Southern
RedState topsoil,
as well as to her kids’ kids,
future farmers of Postmillennial America.

She believed the small scale
of her natural-spiritual restorative farming economy
placed her at a disadvantage
to receive government operational loans
as compared to multinational agribusiness conglomerates
using chemicals and pesticides
to kill topsoil
and extract short-term nutritional values
at long-term disinvested cost
to future healthy generations
and their dreams to health-wealth thrive.

A government farm subsidy expert responded:

If we don’t have enough capital to loan to everyone,
we are forced to give priority funding
to larger scale producers
with capacity to provide more than sufficient this-year nutrients
for our large domestic and foreign flooding markets.

She did not mention costs of growing obesity
and simultaneous malnutrition,
dual-poignant trends.

She did add,
The agricultural sector is complex,
composed of large agribusinesses
and small boutique operations,
and all are welcome by UncleDonald to apply,
after first saluting the TrumpTowers,

But she left unchallenged
the Farmer’s original matriotic complaint
of an uneven ecopolitical playing field
that actually favors large patriarchal corporate greed operations
invested in toxic
extractive
farming-as-raping sociopathic practices.

As I was listening to the farm subsidy expert
on competitive economics
make her case for giving separate but
only marginally unequal value
to these diverse nutritional scales,
small and more robustly large,
with distinct investment niches
available for public dollar support
of a presumably synergetic-democratic agricultural department,
without conceding undue favor to AgriBusiness multinationals.

Separatists, yes;
Supremacists for BusinessAsUsual, no.

I was starkly reminded
of an OldSchool KKK spokesman
who last year said
the WhiteBrother Klans are racial separatists
but not WhiteMale Supremacists.

It does feel like a pathological distinction
without a healthy,
non-WhiteWashed, difference
for present
or future lives
of and for thriving nutritional diversity,
deep sacred-secular ecological synergy.

When will pre-millennial threats
ever learn how to hear post-millennial therapies
as other than Boutiquely Synergetic?

I know…
I know!…
When we have to grow together
rather than continue failing apart.

Celebrating Heroes

I want to respond
to the retired Marine
who watched Democratic Congressional Leaders
during the State of our crippled Union event,
disappointed at how their patriotism,
their loyalty to sacred sacrifices of soldiers
appears too tepid,
jaded,
ungrateful
as compared to more thunderous enthusiastic applause
and standing ovations of Republican Leaders.

I have noticed this too
both during various national bipartisan rhetorical events,
and also within my conscientious objector self,
And I wonder about my own hesitation
to celebrate military heroism,
as if this were an oxymoron,
like military peace intelligence.

For me,
such internal heart-warming applause
is chilled by my own half-empty embarrassment
that I have gone through my recent months and years
perhaps too full of willing tolerance
for moral assumptions too big to fail,
that we are OK to predatively place
other men and women,
regardless of culture or religion or nationality,
and their necessarily neglected children,
in harms toxically unnecessary way.

An heroic investment
far too expensive for developing healthy persons,
plants,
or planet.

This is not how we wisely invest
in sacred Earth’s climates
and healthing cultures.

My celebration of military heroes
remains perennially muted
by my unease about planting future threats
by paying springtime federal taxes
because I conscientiously object,
for spiritual experience
and religious belief reasons,
how large the mountainous percentage
invested in threat of death and dying
and paying ever-mounting interest
on past military industrialized deficit
overheating budgets.

Stolen from potential health
and well-being
of Earth’s future generations
spread throughout all Earth’s sacred residents
now terrified of upcoming ballistic climates.

I should have tried harder,
more conscientiously,
to invest in restoring ballasts of co-operative climates.

So, I intend no disrespect
for courage
and honor
and heroes
for those who have survived
violence and
fear and
anger and
greed and
political pretensions of Elitists
too old to fight themselves,
but just rightwinged enough
to invest in further armaments,
and thereby profit nicely.

I feel no disrespect
for those who have not survived
and will not survive,
much less thrive in pathological death-culture.

But nationalistic applause
and praying for God’s blessings on U.S. First and Last,
Right or Wrong,
feel consciousness unsettling
when I experience God’s applause
for love and peace
and not our hate and
fear and
anger and
violence against each other,
regardless of religion or
culture or
national origin
or gender
or color
or age,
born,
long gone,
or yet unborn.

I know God too omnipotent and omnipresent
to respect inhumane national apartheid boundaries.

Heroes
are those who have gone well past their patriotic duty
far beyond what anyone could honestly
and reasonably ask,
beyond what most of us might expect of ourselves,

Especially while those left behind
remain in free-markets
to profit off the tanks
and submarines
and rifles soldiers bravely carry,
bullets and bombs they aim,
often at the even more profitable investments
of these same 1% Elite,
regardless of International Conglomerate Status.

For those who are persuaded
what was asked
was itself a positive democracy protecting moral act,
standing ovations of buoyant applause
feel resoundly called for
from warmly celebrating hearts.

But, for those of us
who empathize with heroes both alive and dead
regardless of religion or culture or national origin,
who feel such violence reflects our own democracy protecting failures
to conscientiously love all sacred life sufficiently,
Such unmitigated happiness feels heart-wrenchingly wrong.

In face of such selfless investment
in violence and risk to healthy futures
for threatening death
and objectives of destruction,
we more likely bow our disinvested heads,
take a humbled knee,
silent in awe of such uncompelling bad-breathed ambiguity,

Yet not wanting to offend
against such sacred gifts
offered at an unacceptable cost
We never had the conscientious right to ask
another soul to pay.

I do not believe disrespect
is democratically intended
for lack of con-celebrating our violent history’s heroes;
but respectful listening grows more conscientiously compelling
for humility
of political and economic enablers,
co-investors like myself,
with guilt and shame about what others have paid
because we did not act sufficiently
for waging and investing peace,
Incarnating God’s love
for all Earth’s SacredTribes.

Degrees of Separation

The story of my unique biosystem
goes back,
as does yours,
through six degrees of separation,
each with its own dominant culture,
tincture,
color,
taste and feel.

Feedback loops began with rainbows
and tidal streams ebbing and flowing
and lunar
and solar cycles.

Looping back in spirals
of ecosystemic revolutions
in WinWin fractals and octaves,
of resilient color
and resonant sound,
despite apartheid evolutions
in Business As WinLose Usual.

In 1868
when my eight great grandparents
may have been children of slaves
and of slave owners
and were probably children scandalized by all the above,
James Clerk Maxwell
wrote a paper On Governors
before electricity
even had a name,
much less a governing harness
for commodifying light to see
ears to hear
Energy Democracy.

This seminal systems analysis
was about ancient,
but not timeless,
feedback loops of nature,
and perhaps cooperative ecosystemic spirits
and notnot WinWin open therapeutic feedback loops
and Business As Usual closed WinLose thermodynamic loops
for regulating normal
EcoPower Over exterior climates
and EgoPower Under interior climates,
although he was more familiar
with vicious WinLose circular systems
and virtuous WinWin feedback co-governing loops.

Yet roughly two thousand years earlier
LaoTzu, of Taoist Yang with Yin co-arising fame,
also wrote to governors
about egos and ecos
yang/yin wu-wei narrow septic balancing,
and YinSquared valleys of restorative light
equivalent to Yang Mountains of and for WiseElders,
Left-Right
West-East

Mountains co-arising Valleys
of bilateral co-intelligent governance.

Yang working cooperatively with Yin
as contrasted to EgoCentric hubris
of EgoYang powering over
EcoYin’s matriotic resilient understory
of notnot
WinWin
YinSquared fractal-octave enlightenment,
healthy co-governors
v pathological overseers of the unfortunately NonElite.

Those poor in spirit
but often rich in creolizing soul.

From where did my ego flow
across more than six degrees
of generational separation?
Who did my sixty-four great
great
great
great grandparents
listen to when they were learning
how to develop healthy ego and eco-centered co-governing loops?

What were their diverse languages
for sacred-secular reweaving Creation Stories?

Villages restoring healing
to land
and sea
and sky,
to hearts
and minds in enlightening
co-governing
inter-related bodies
of individuating ego-identity
surrounded by ecosystemic multiculturing voices
singing and screaming,
gentle breezing and fury blowing,
tropical and artic,
bright and warm and wet
and cool and cold and dry.

Two hundred years ago
my sixty four root tendrils
were almost certainly memories
of WiseElder words
and songs
and dances of most loved slaves
and slaveowners
and how they were so scandalized
by such blatantly WinLose peculiarities
of supposedly LeftBrain mature cooperators with RightBrain
co-governing secular ego health
with sacred eco-abundant co-enlightenment

Light of Left-Right separations,
ego-eco systems,
co-governing back through at least six ingenerators
of interdependent separation,
journeying toward eight degrees
of spiraling integrity
capital-invested
co-regenerative redemption,
restorative healing,
hybrid of ego healing within and upon Earth’s ecotherapy.

Retributive WinLose cycles of longing Yang
with restorative WinWin recycles belonging Yin
need each other.
For how would we recognize cooperative health
without too competitive pathology?
