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.

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.

Why Schools

eWhy schools?
We are not clear
WiseElder sighed
in desperate fear.

Why guns at school?
Where teachers try
and pine for Golden Rules.

We pry to teach
cooperation
And in return
guns rape our nation.

We strive to learn
not to waste
what God has given
pedagogical grace.

Why point automated guns
at schools for learning
how society right ought to run?

Such mown down waste
streaming out of place
assaulted from within
without cooperation’s
productive face.

We are what we nourish
on the field
and in each classroom
competing for success
without innocent Right’s sacred flourish.

Silent deep learning
gasping rabid claustrophobia
Fearing the worst,
competition’s violent agape phobia.

Feed me!
silent screams voiceless Innocence
longing for a place to learn
with deeper WinWin resonance.

Deep sacred consumers
grow terrorist alarming
when cooperation’s resilience
is bought from
and sold to highest performers

In society’s rabid operationalizing,
awarding speaking parts
sung by Wild Western Old Farts
about history’s highest and best,
most accurately aiming,
non-elite alarming,
RedPrince Southern Stated Charming.

Red automated assault
AntiGreen
competing monoculturation,
punishing devolution,
anti-healthy poly-enculturation
growing devalued,
secularized,
sometimes demonized,
overpopulation,

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

A Disagreement About Assault

Marco Rubio
reminds
marchers against automated gun violence,
their pilgrimage views
oppose
what many TrueBlue Americans
support
as Second Amendment Rights.

Why hide
your own NRA supported agenda
You cannot politically
and economically afford
to be found
in this wrong?

So let’s explore
with colonial ForeFathers
their Original Democratic Health Intent:
How sure are you
they
and their wives
and mothers
grandmothers
and children
would have supported
your right
to have a military-grade assault rifle
in your self-defensive closet
and in those of all your neighbors
and your most feared racist
fascist
rabid
AmericaFirst monocultural
public competition schooled
enemies?

How sure are you
that these students
and their parents
and their grandparents
marching against automated violence
actually oppose
your right to domestic self-defense
as originally intended
by patriots of polycultural democracy
and matriarchs of domestic family health?

Why is it,
do you think,
so many Second Amendment protected Americans
are marching
on and in and toward
state and national and international
cities
to remind you

They too are Americans
with proud and loyal Second Amendment
and First Amendment,
on around through all Amendment
rights to Sacred Unity,
Public and Private Health Welfare,
Left and RightMind and Body Happiness

They too are USA domestic residents
and tax payers
who believe the Second Amendment
is not whatever and however the NRA
competitively
and toxically define
and refine
and exegete it

So much as
whatever and however Original Health-Intending Democrats
cooperatively refine
and systematically define
domestic self-with-other defense
of WinWin
freedom from assault repression,
terrorizing depression,
racist and sexist suppression

Freedom for MotherEarth
wise economic
and political expression.

HummingBirds and SpiderWebs

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.

Dear Republican Disciples of God

Thanks for your letter
asking for a free Taoist consult
on how to bring God talk
and experience
back into our Monocultural Big Agri-MilitantIndustrialized Busyness Schools
and possibly our extended family lives,
on into our inside Holy of Holies,
our Climates of Polyphonic EarthSoul Health.

I do wish you had asked me
before giving Donald John the AntiChristian Evangelist
Anti-Trust of WinWin CoRedemptive Messianic Economies,
much less political cooperative-ownership empowerment
of a healthy-wealth Democracy Nation,
full CEO responsibilities
for bicamerally managing this important secular-sacred issue.

Anyway,
you seem to assume there is a constitutional legal issue
more than a psychological health-organizing question
but I’m not sure
it would be in your best interests
to continue with this assumption.

The first,
and really the only fundamentally healthy question,
for community, and family, organizers
looking for resilient long-term success
and resonantly inclusive spiritual depth
is

“What do these healthy folks,
their wealthiest plants,
their health-wealth place
in this sacred-secular time on Earth
want?
What do we most want
to work on together–
more than anything else
we could love to imagine?”

So, it might be good to begin
with a smaller question for our students,
“Do you want to bring God back
into your school,
your family,
yourself,
more than good health,
if you had to choose Win/Lose,
or maybe as Original WinWin Creator of GoodHealth?

Divine EarthSoul Producer and Consumer
of our deep learning environments,
our organic
and mutually holonic holy climates
of multiculturing discovery
creolizing co-empathic explorers,
travelers
disciples of God

WinWin planning and co-creating
regeneration and polypathic harvest
and polyphonically elegant performance outcomes
following and leading
with WinWin Golden Rules
and Ego/Eco Reiterating Ratios
Redundantly Resonant Resilience
of ZeroZone Permaculturing Design
for Restorative Global Ego/EcoJustice.

Because
if your students are not on board
with this quest
then,
as anyone who has parented a child
between ages of 2 and 200 knows,
we need not worry about any theoretical legal issues
when we have already lost our constituent opportunity to climatically succeed
because some wounded older students
are not yet predisposed toward gratitude for God
and/or good healthy pro-lifeline choices.

I suspect the large majority of students
and soldiers
especially in younger grade school years,
whether Christian or Agnostic,
Hindu or Atheist,
Buddhist or Taoist,
Zeroist or Zoroastrian,
Sufi or Rastafarian,
would probably find the idea of GodTalk
refreshingly the same as good healthy choices walks
liberating spirit-nature nondual experiences
co-arising talk with walk goodfaith aspirations
they still might have on a daily nondual EarthSoul internal basis,
whenever they take HolyMatrioticSpirit Time
to watch a sunrise reborn
or pray with setting vesper sun,
wherever young voiceless praise rises
invested in moon and starlight
or delight in surf sounds
of SisterWater surfing
sacred wind and holy warm rain,
etc.

These diurnal and seasonal ecology re-creation stories
can become excellent GoodNews theology
about natural and sacred health,
held together as Left-Right co-bilateral consciousness.

But, some will be scarred
and scared
by drawing attention to their GodTalk cognitive-affective differences,
dissonances
felt in their unequal separations,
colonizations,
victims of predations,
wounded by don’t tell and don’t ask custody of creolizing curios eyes,
custody of naturally democratic-holonic polypathic ears.

For these,
in alliance with those already mentally healthy enough
for deep relearning NatureGodTalk
and EarthSoul co-arising experiences
in bicameral consciousness school
as in Sunday PositiveEnergy Democracy School
and Temple,
God and Allah and Brahman Sabbath,
etc.

You will find a consensus
in your favor,
bringing God back inside
our deep learning holy climate lives
Holy MatrioticSpirit innocent loves,
if we are each given the WinWin time and experiences we need
to discover what each student agrees
is what and/or whom they mean
when they use this phrase “ProLife God”.

For you,
God is Love
Grace
and you will probably not find any Win/Lose disagreement
across all monocultural belief systems
Except this might beg their question
for kids so damaged
they have not had sufficient experience
of nurturance
and nutrition,
ego and ecotherapeutic health,
internal knowing of just what exactly is love,
as have those more belovedly fortunate.

So,
this may take older students
awhile to sort through
What we mean by
PositivEnergy Democracy words
like incarnating God
and re-incarnating Love.

Yet, if they listen back to their own voices
when in first grade,
and even younger,
before they even had LeftBrain words
for such warm wet Holy MatrioticSpirit,
perhaps they will remember God talked
polypathically shared
across ZeroZone consciousness
of EarthSoul Womb

Polyphonic Southern-Universal
EgoCreator-Left
co-arising
EcoReCreation-ReStoration
SacredNorthern WiseElder RightMatriotic

And,
in this holonic nature-Left
spirit-Right
bicameral way,
we are made
in His/Her transubstantiating
healthy-wealth image.

For further details
on implementing Work That Reconnects Health with Sacred Wealth
in your schools
and families
and EarthSoul Dreams
therapeutic for patriarchal-fascist Climate Pathology nightmares,
Please visit your local PositivEnergy Democracy as CooperativeTrust
Psychology Department
avoiding monoculturing Left-dominant
cognitive-affective collectively paranoid dissonance,
chronic Left-South and Red v ElderRight-North and Green stress,
bipolar oppositional disorders
rather than dipolar appositional
nondual nature-spirit
WinWin relationships,
game theories,
system theories,
group bilateral experiential math
as spiral dynamic ribonucleic memories,
etc.

GodTalk in School

I was listening to a newly converted Republican woman
explain why she so gladly left
the less redeeming Democratic fold.

“We need to bring God back
into our schools.”

My reactions and responses
are full spectrum
from “Amen!”
to
“I wonder why He left?
Are schools really that bad
where she lives?”

Soon I came back to
Who or what does she mean
by “God”?

Does she mean GodTalk?

For this Democrat
there isn’t much
quickly coming to mind or body
that is not speaking and acting out
spiritual experience
of this divine Universe,
our sacred loving Unity,
Integrity,
yet also secularizing degenerative lack thereof.

Perhaps it is this lack of experience
with school-based God as LoveTalk
that she believes was once there
but is no longer nurtured.

No longer as likely to feel present
co-present
and nutritious
as compared to toxic fear
of feeling
and hearing
and seeing
bullets spraying
from an isolated and bullied adolescent’s
military-industrializing assault rifle–
not really such a great PositivEnergy learning tool.

Perhaps it is a climate of punishing fear
of retributive tools and toys
rather than restorative healing
through direct spiritual PositivEnergy experience
of communicating sacred Grace,
Feeling free to speak of such natural spirituality
as life
within pro-life deep learning environments,
to be pro-polyculturing life outcomes
in all our rich and deep nature-spirit diversity
of God-Allah’s Authentic,
Integrative,
and Beautiful creolizing Creation.

Perhaps she notices
a predative
extractive
secularizing absence of cooperative nature-spirit grace
nondual
leaving a void futilely filled
with competing all-natural egocentric states
of addictive and colonizing,
terrorizing and rapacious,
exploiting and fake-patriotic supremacist sins
against God
and His sacred society CoCreations,

His Beloved
in and out of school
co-redeeming patriarchalLeft-matriarchalRight Lovers
of graces
within deep learning incubation places.

This Democrat
says Amen
to bringing GodTalk
and GoodLoveNews of sacred Golden Green CoLearning Rules
and divine WinWin Golden Listening Ratios
and EarthSoul polypathic communications
and AnimaMundi bilateral creolizing meditations
and deep learning PositivEnergy conversations
about Climate Health for
and with
and of SolarSpirit SystemicGod
listening quietly
resonantly
dynamically

within Earth’s Paradise Rapture ReFound.

Integrity Fields of LoveThoughts

There is an irrepressible field of thought
We learn better resiliently together
than competitively apart.

We feel better

more than as isolated egocentric wanderers
more eccentric
than supportive environments
of ego/eco-centric
WinWin players.

EcoCentric thoughts

Ego-disciplines of WinWin TeamPlay

what SolarGod might say
about baking out inhumane pathologies
with His retributive
and unkindly blind
patriarchal justice.

While EarthSoul Gaia RightYin
holds matriotically up
her restorative eco/ego-justice Northern fractal face.

DNA staring wave-linear
ultra-violetly back
into WiseElder RNA octaves
of harmonic deep learning revolutionary health,
secularly resilient
and sacredly resonant,
and together curiously integrative sanity
yet something of a creolic stew.

through this post-millennial healthy field of time,

There remains a resiliently resonant field
of Left with Right dipolar thought
We learn
economically and politically and psychologically better
cooperatively together
than too Yang-competitively apart.
