Racing with the Sun

Identifying as a Taoist-Christian hybrid,
a polypath feasting on root systems
of East meets West
Right greets Left
Yin embraces Yang
does not make me a good Christian
or a good Taoist.

However, these permaculturing designs
on polyculturing polypathic sensory-neural healthy outcomes
do seem to help me become the best
transliterative
transgenderal
transregenerational evolving Taoist-Christian
I can imagine
and care for with gratitude,
peaceful empathic trust
as both sufficiency of political power
with cooperative nutritional economic enrichment practice,
orthodoxy of experiential non-violent unitarian intent.

Yang without Yin,
an angry fire-breathing SunGod
of vengeful omnipotent wrath–
universally frustrated fertility.
Yin without Yang
becomes a whimpering wilting virgin
without hope of ever giving birth
or even experiencing pleasure with integrity
in Her cell-bound reiteratively ruminating purgatory.

But Earth abhors this double-binding vacuum,
absence of healthy prime-binomial abundance
as light not bilateral-square rooted through past and future
fades dual dark.

To become full-bicameral poli-economically humane
is to empathically trust
not only Nature’s absence of absent primal
physical/metaphysical
nature/spirit relationship,
but to enrich maturation by fertilizing these primal hybrids,
health as loving life’s intention,
yang as yin’s bilateral reiteration,
trusted PolyNomials actively evolving co-empathic notnot PolyPaths
until we together emerge through this Great Transition
belonging to and with Earth’s Tribes
(0)-sum prickly-goos (Alan Watts)
Convex fractal Concaves (Buckminster Fuller)
universal unitarians (UUA)
ecopolitical revolutionaries of co-empathic trust
that love conquers evil through dipolar absorption
as evil defeats love
through over-yanged monocultural exertion.

Love and co-arising pleasure grow
as long-suffered excesses of mutual immune mistrust give way
to all colors matter
as all octave frequency balances and harmonies materialize resonant experience
more positively meaningful to us than their dissonance,
as all lives and deaths matter,
and not only anthrocentric lives,
not only biocentric lives;
we materialize-incarnate most optimally as ecoconscious lives
and deaths
within Earth’s great multicultural co-empathic arias of operation
perpetually revolving ecocentric dance.

It is a monoculturing pace
of human political-economic race
suboptimizing historical-cultural distrusts of racism
for polyculturing peace
waiting on our great transitioning wings.

Ecology of Political Trust

TaoTime as ZeroZen Centered

Simple really, this Eastern Creation Story,
imagine all your energetic muscle tissue tribes,
alternating static yin with diastatic yang,
imagine Elder skeletal cells
and structural embryonic marrow-systems,
imagine rivers of vessels and veinish pumping systems,
rhythms and swirling patterns,
revolving neural synaptic-aptic communication systems,
and of course your skin cells
and all those amazing organic mind cells
with their internal and external eco-systemic issues
and economic transfer of nutritional-flow busyness-networks,
all following one health v pathology regenerative ecological model
of cooperative internal/external self-governance.

We are all relatively healthy incarnations,
still breathing and beating and conscious,
ecologically self-optimizing homeostatic ego/eco biosystems,
sharing a (0)centric historical-cultural genetic cooperative network
ecological and polycultural within all DNA/RNA scripted systems,
and multicultural within humane bicameral systems,
organic health-cooperative EarthTribal networks
of nondual co-arising
Yang-Left-Deductive
Yin-Right-Inductive
co-empathic trust
in beloved community truth
as ecologically balancing
mindful
humane
self-optimizing
regenerate beauty
as active love,
eco-political intelligence.

As yin-balanced within,
so yang-empowered without.

Political and economic cooperative empathy,
a private and public, but also ego-intimate
articulating evolutionary empathic capacity
to care about nurturing health and safety environments
for the young.

Remember when powerful political leaders
vocationally cared about healthy futures
for their grandchildren’s grandchildren?

Neither do I.

Future generations,
future regenerators,
future YangYin regeneration of ecosystemic time
as uracil/cytosine strings
informing dipolar co-arising memory,
folding
unfolding
refolding revolutions of evolution’s embryonic organic time.

Courage to lay down Yang macho-male dominant supremacy
is often found in love for nurturing welcomers,
graceful hospitality,
integrity of maleness remembered within embryonic power-flow,
co-empathic matriarchal reception
of love’s cooperative compost
enthymeming positive intentions.

If we cannot remember how to play and strategize
with the imaginative WinWin innocence of a prepubescent child,
then we might try to imagine courage
as open receptivity of a leaf
absorbing light
to produce a more positively empowered atmosphere
for growing future trees with deeply healthy root systems,
producing hard-shelled yang nuts
with nutritional-regenerate yin bilateral development instructions
written across each and every EarthTribe incarnation,
living now between ElderPower past
and FutureFlow of TaoTime ReGenerators.

TransRacial Family Wonderings

I wonder what makes you tick.

That quick shadow of a lopsided smile.
When you slap the wall as you step by.
Are these tics
that make you tick somehow?

I know what ticks you off.
Disrespecting your sacred right to become you.
Yet I doubt a Mercedes convertible
would actually respect your healthiest you.

I know what ticks me off about you.
Your relentless denial of anger
and fear
and sadness.
Your unwillingness to forgive yourself
for incarnating merely mortal human nature.

But, what about your unwillingness to forgive our human race
toward racism?
With you born into enslaved heritage,
a long supply of victim roles,
every time anyone sees you,
frames you,
labels you,
historical entrapment of bodies,
by other human mindbodies
contextualizing cultural enslavement of victim-minds,
tics of anger and fear
deep politicized and economized
into creases of dark v. light exterior display.

Does this also tick me off about you?
Do I reasonably expect you,
or anyone,
to forgive an entire species of life
for an oppressive monoculturally supremacist history
of human racial enculturation?

I know what ticks you off about me,
maybe.
My willingness to forgive myself
for my anthro-dominant tics,
habits of language and culture,
disformation of EarthTribal love
and healthy multicultural commitment,
economic solidarity of politically cooperative mutuality.

Because,
to forgive myself of anthro-dominant blindness
seems nondually inseparable
from forgiving us for the absurdity and hypocrisy of racism
and its anti-ecological conclusion of enslaving politically struggling life
by claiming economic ownership of Earth’s Natural/Spiritual Commons.

Ticking on,
rather than ticking off,
reconnects human nature within all EarthTribe RNA/DNA nature.
Distinctions of exterior mindbody polymorphic landscapes
retain polycultural healthfulness,
while our more universally monocultural interior DNA landscapes
of interdependent WinWin ReGeneration Stories
seem to unfold more importantly
more sanely
more rationally
more beautifully and truthfully,
about Golden Rule Solidarity
with political and economic power
to regenerate climatic racing health
with all EarthTribe’s uniting revolution.

What tics me off about me
is failure of multicultural curiosity,
absence of sufficient love
to optimize each relationship and each transaction’s cooperative opportunity
to resonate more deeply,
more ecologically,
more co-arising tribally,
together,
co-habitors of Sun-fueled Earth’s richly diverse,
and much-beloved, community of health,
profoundly mutual regenerative enculturation,
deep listening mutuality of trust-growing education,
Earth-functional in formation,
like evolution of heated organic composting networks
feeding time’s further love revolution.

All that said,
what I know too less about
is what ticks you on.
Probably the about face
of hypocrisy
and ignorance
and greed
and terror
and anthro-centrist racism
that tick you off.

Shadows of lopsided sad smiles.
Slapping walls as we push through.

Dark Bears : Buzzing RedLight Bees

Honey Bear,
I would like to say goodbye
and would appreciate your reply.

Where are you going?

I am going to sing farewell
before my minute hand wears out.

Already,
yet I hoped you might first learn
to dance hello.

Yes, so I too presumed,
yet in epiphanies of dawn’s delight
dancing hello toward Earth’s light
follows learning to sing night’s lullaby
enduring dusks darkening evaporation
of bright transparent regeneration.

I would like to sing farewell
not sure whether we will ever find time
for another healthy hello,
good mourning death’s surprising pass
right through our daily hello-goodbye liturgies
of BusinessAsUsual love.

Just once before either of us further dies
and lies within Earth’s sacred skin,
I would like us to learn to sing farewell
to our dusky love’s evaporating celebration,
multicolored disincarnation,
wildflower struggling together dissonance
within Earth’s MultiTribal Solidarity.

With this pearl of our shared memory
how much brighter next time’s dawn.

Better than whole wheat pancakes
with strawberries
and butter
and maple syrup springs
of wildflower birdsong?

Breaking night time’s fast
with love’s echoing farewell lullaby
warming daylight’s first embryonic memory,
spreading farewell liturgies
like warm butter
throughout love’s remembering twilight day.

You would have your farewell pearl
with breakfast too.

I would sing farewell
not knowing we will have another day
to dance our hellos of gratitude
for love syrup warmly given
exchanged
transforming sacred memories
of EarthTribe’s struggling mutual light within,
dancing and singing tender humored
and raving raven memories
fading back to our first eyes greeting.

You were redhead magnificent
and bright as nuclear light,
yet not sure you had enough to share
with all my dark bear ways.

And you still growl your raw reviews
about light’s honey lacking as yours and ours
and cubs who have never learned to dance
a dignified hello
much less sing a well-timed farewell lullaby,
softly fading into some other household’s light
of their own healthy making.

Stars have never sung the same
since they first twinkled through your RedLight hungry eyes.

Moon heart glows full color harmonics
to know your quiet delight,
teasing might,
sharing your monopoly of wild investments
in GrandMothers’ flowing afrocultured kinda’ light.
Too seldom has sailed
our full octave light and dualdark racing pilgrimage
through transgenerational childhood brights and fights,
embracing dawns,
effacing darks together.

Honey Bee,
I love to sing farewell struggling harmony
while slow dancing our mutually gratuitous hello-farewell,
folding to unfold eco-memory flying
YangBear/YinBee soul-honeydancing,
Tipping PolyPoints of Light/DualDark MindBody.

Improvisations on a cultural theme

It was sometime back in the 70’s,
my later 20’s,
I woke up one morning to realize
EgoSelf as an often dissonant nest
of natural systemic TaoEarth,
a mindbody bicameral treehouse
in some way that felt socially
and economically
and perhaps even politically awkward.

Too much like an Ugly Duckling Ego
in a Cinderella Opera,
clearly expecting myself to overcompensate
for my alien social-regenerative nature,
by learning to play each of the other roles
co-arising adeptly.

Prince Charming to my kids and husband,
somehow especially sadly
because I have the only AngloIdentified
AnthroBioSystem
in my Ugly StepSister/Brother and Cinderella and
Prince Charming family.

Carefully avoiding LoseLose Political-Economist
as SuperUgly dualdark StepMother
of malicious,
mendacious,
hateful intent
to play out a MonoCulturally supremicist Win-Lose Opera,
with me in charge of racist misery.

It was not until we all began stretching together
to comprehend what it means,
in terms of health and beauty,
goodness and truth,
to become daily reborn
into a PostMillennial Taoist Unitarian Universalism,
more richly hued polycultural health outcomes increase.

In this PostTaoist UU Landscape,
I have come to correlate
Left MindBody Language,
with YangPowered nutritional-natural health outcomes

If, and only if,
co-arising MidWay Tipping Point
of deductive-within-inductive mutual nature/spirit interest and value,
Elder Right MindBody Inductive-Empathic-Subjective
nutritional-nurturing PermaCultural
dialectical decomposition confirms
RNA (0)-soul regenerative health enculturation-confluence,
contentment,
no ecosystemic stress,
trending toward PolyCultural Climaxing Outcomes,
where P as Exterior Landscape
reiterates reverse-temporal intention
of NotNot P as EcoInterior Right MindBody Landscape.

This is densely substantial and speaks of rich fertility,
and is kind of a lot to carry around in one bicamera-rolling mindbody ecosystem,
but,
for us,
together, I hope,
our already shared Main (0)Mega Point Principle of Time,
is a dipolar nature-spirit nondual radically symbiotic hypothesis

Universal-ConVex c-squared YangTime
functions unitarian within 4D RealTime e-squared
PrimeRelational Right MindBodies
co-arising
Newtonian gravitational waves -,-
Einsteinian radiant frequency bilateral +,+ mutually positronic-elational,
are also double-bound reverse-immune aptic-negentropic-electronic fractal ballast.

I hope you are familiar with Right-brain love of health as symmetry
and truth and goodness
and light rather more than dual dark
as sensual-polycultural-receptor color and tone,
autonomic temporal balance of bilateral/bicameral systems,
breathing and heart-beat norms of mindbody health,
blood flow nutrient ebb and flow streams of energetic balance,
these bilateral-revolving flow structures,
like DNA ladders
twisting in fractalspiral ordered revolutions
never quite reaching EgoHome,
but fully-defining-refining
our Earth-centered hearts and rivers
of internal nutritional blood-systemic fueled
neural mindbody flow systems of balance,
ebb-exhale YinUnitarian,
flowing inhale diastolic Yang Universal.

Now I unfold each morning
stepping into a PermaCulturing Opera,
co-arising Janus-faced bicameral mindbody spacetime
and language,
dialects and seasonal nutritional dynamics of light love
and peaceful contentment-nature,
with dipolar appositional dualdark AngerLose-FearLose
cognitive-affective dissonance,
Tipping Point notices from Elders past
ruminating dualdark voices of Time’s languaged present
co-presence,
(0)-EcoConsciousness.

Buckminster Fuller often plays
Elder Ugly Duckling Prophet and Father of Time.
He speaks eco-logos to biological UU systems
using analogies of temporal-bilateral dialects,
diapraxis,
diastasis,
transforming-fusing fold and unfold functions
metaphysical correlations incarnating physical form,
co-development of regenerative health potential.
Time folds Yang convexly,
Physical Universe as closed present-tense diastatic potential,
achieved through cooperative co-mentorship of design and development,
Time unfolds Yin bilaterally OpenSystemic,
concavely unitarian-integral-dialectic-fractal-prime-dipolar-relationship-elation-co-gravitation-implicate-string-nature’s-time-syntaxed-order….

And, maybe,
wondering what you UniversalYang with UnitarianYin Right MindBody Balance
bicamerally ego/eco-conscious folks polypathically think,
what we might find,
discover,
recover,
within Bucky Fuller’s Synergy,
as Polycultural Climax ReGenerative TemporalSpatial Design,
and elsewhere too,
in PermaCultural apps for cooperatives
economic
and political
and ecological
and health-value systems
divesting of toxic monocultural over-competitive anthro-development
within this lifetime’s EgoDeductive-Dominant PreMillennial Memory.

Facing Racing Eyes–ReMix

Last week, a court decision to not pursue criminal charges.

So, I guess a 12 year old
American brown male playing by himself
with a toy gun
is outside your boundary
for normal early-adolescent activity.

Well, I can see why you would need
to draw your boundary
for healthy rationality
outside his grassy field of fire-armed play.

I can see why we need to draw this line
of “only predictably domesticated life matters”
the way we do
to look our friends and children in the eyes
while saying,
“I can accept this loss
as one caused by an unfortunately timed
dual act of wildness;”
but is it not significantly wilder
to fire ballistics at youth
than for youth to fire only ballistic imagination?

I can see that we need to doubt
reasonable risks of public recreation
for some lives
differently than other lives
and times
to gaze into our social-cultural mirror
with both eyes
with fully comprehensive integrity:

“We accept that Black Adolescent Lives Splatter
loss across our leaking shared loves and livelihoods,
thereby wilting our collective mental health,
starving our social wealth for future regeneration,
and yet hope we still dream
of somehow re-transposing,
All Lives Matte
in current US eco-political culture.

Now that is egocentric mendacity;
not even Anthro-centric integrity.

We each and all must hunt our way
toward facing our fear of ourselves
our lack of empathy
and consciousness
our neglectful lack of fully activating functional-flowing information.

Some hunting ways bring further Business As Usual
cognitive-affective dissonance;
further failure of polycultural integrity,
further degenerative mono-egocultural stasis.

Some hunting ways promise more co-operative co-arising ballast
for culturally active hope.
It is this ballast we seek
between our self/other-reflecting eyes,
hoping to discover peace within as justice without,
and not more enslaving reductive addiction
to ballistics of overly-automated violence,
full-will without sufficient time to assess full-intent,
responding to fear of fear ourselves,
right between our blindered eyes.

ReGenerational Lament Psalm

Earth Time’s song and dance
through nonexisting space,
my song
our PolyCulturing Opera,
time’s co-passion story,
history and cultures of existing place as space.

Time’s Blacker premillennial face
haunts richer wisdom
but often fails to find just and righteous pace
for decomposing dominant Western straight-bent MaleLeft Dominance,
cultural addiction to mindbody meaning,
vocation to find and recognize

Elder Blacker’s wavey-linear timing rhythm
speaks best through Zero-bicameral heart,
perma-enculturing ubiquitously surfing time’s pregnant memory,
TransParently double-dark embedded co-gravitational Time

Emerging New PoliEconomics found discovery
through Yangish evolutionary cooperative light
most resonantly health and therapy resolved
through Time’s polyculturing brightest
rightest light-squared metrics
equal yin-squared double-bound regenerative logos,
Zero-SoulElational Universal Community.

Fear of dark-racing Time
begins within my own white-placed skin
accepting Time’s untimely dark embrace
within full-octave humanely timing race,
to see my wilt-paced face,
feel my failing bones and pace
drawing back into Time’s regeneratively souled embrace,
fading into light’s RNA ProGenitor
once more
dark never-enough-realtime through dark purgation’s
non-anthrocentric palaced rainbow door
toward Black Time’s timeless full-color rhapsodic
bicamerally co-arising
crystal-equivalent Benign Diastatic Presence.

Present NOW
knotted notched double-binding time
enrapturing this sacred place
gracefully crumbling time’s investment,
fore-given and co-redeeming last fall’s
mindbody bed of leafy wilting time remembered
succumbing to co-terminating time’s
benign metamorphosis of place as timeless pace
of logos back into time’s landed yet climatic
co-gravitational space,
impervious to Earth Tribal eyes noting Her change of climate
from OverlyConvexly Branching
MaleLeft dominance
to concave composts,
equivalent Left-Right bicameral
eco-consciousness,
binary electromagnetic balance
as binomial zero-centric soul harmonic octaves
as bicameral TransParent co-gravitational,
polyculturally trending health and therapeutic regeneration.

Why is digital information
always languaged in binary syntax,
double-bound-fractal equals full-closed
octave frequency networking structure?

Because Time’s information process
assumes electromagnetic balance
as + = (-,-) dipolar equivalent Prime Relationship,
in a + OVER (-,-) = DoubleNegative Balanced appositional fractal ring,
PositivePolynomial TemporalForm = YinYin as N(NP)
and Win-Win EcoLogical ReGenerativity Theory.

Left MindBody = Yang
Right MindBody = Yin
Their ZeroZen-Center Prime DiPolar Optimization Relationship =
RealTime’s ReGenerate EcoLogic

New Year ReSolution Discernment

Time for New Campaign Year ReSolutions,
perhaps informed with some new political economy
discernment questions.

Why is a free market
most accessible to those with the largest investments
in marketing?

Could this be the same question:
Why are our free political elections
most accessible to those who invest most heavily
in self-marketing?

Why does suppression or oppression or repression,
some kind of taxing expression,
of the free cooperative-barter labor market
feel related to the rapidly increasing disecological cost
of and to Earth’s formerly free commodities,
elements,
information,
co-arising intelligence,
ecosystemic integrity,
and possibly some cooperative hunting and gathering nutrients, while avoiding poisons, research?

Why does it cost so much
to market the economic policies and political procedures
intended to evolve healthy cooperative free markets?

Why does freedom from fearful need for
–debt forgiveness
–redemption
–absolution
–ever more efficient competition and untimely death
feel so much like freedom to give
mutually cooperative absolution
–for being human,
–for not being humane enough for our own SuperEco Awareness,
–for not being unnatural enough
for your EgoCenter to entirely forget
your cooperative political and economic RNA regenerative roots?

Why do I feel
and not feel
free to participate in competing racist/sexist eco-political networks,
structures,
systems,
when I buy groceries and clothes,
every time I support an
–overly anthro-indulgent,
–over-commodified
–overly toxic
–overly carbon-footprinted
–overly Left-brain dominant
corporation,
including political party corporations
competing for market shares in votes,
and how do I feel free to support overly incorporated candidates
for overly-commodified public offices?

Why does an independent permaculturist
sound like an oxymoron,
while a cooperative permaculturist network
sounds like deeply nutritious redundancy?

Just Show Up

Basic Attendance,
listening deeply to the sounds
and functions
flows and forms of nature’s voices,
evolves from enthymematic roots
toward mutually repellent,
darkly transparent
nondual dark energy
as equivalently empowered identity
of not-yet fully synergetically integrated
diastatic Time,
equivocating spatially incarnated
positive
protonic
polymorphic
polypathic
polycultural
multisystemic harmonic balance
between Yangstimuli and Yinresponse.

From this epicenter of Basic Attendance,
we begin noticing our over-commodified
overly-preserved
overly-defensive
over-canned
cultural economy
habitually uses financial currency
as the measure of wealth,
while using nutritional currency
as our measure of health.

Hmmm. That happens. And?

When we must choose between health and thrival
or competitive individual and familial accumulation of wealth-survival objectives,
we are likely to return to healthy survival of Earth
and all species
as ultimate measure of a culture’s wealth
and we are each a DNA-informed culture.
At least,
that appears to be our routine positive behavior
after the tsunami
the tornado
the hurricane
the financial earthquake
the critical interruption of Business As Usual
vacates our normatively competitive economies
and ego identities.

So what?

Racism,
and sexism
and class-ism, segregation-ism,
and elitism
and ageism
and capitalism,
is an evolutionary dead end tributary of evolution
that could only become an issue
emerging from an ego-centric Left-brain dominant species.
We invest in supremacist (and sometimes ballistic) elitism
when we assume human nature somehow evolves more elite
and privileged
and value-capital invested
than our anawim, our untouchables, our aliens, our enemies
without concomitant responsibility
and risk
and opportunity
to remember and remain within eco-centric ballast.

Western red skies
predict Trinitarian Yang/spatial In-Formation,
co-arising Eastern dawn of Basic Attendance nondual culture;
positively bilateral YinYin temporal-timeless function.

Basic Attendance meets Primal Dysfunction:
Our economic lifestyle and choices
either lean toward cooperating with Time’s unfolding wisdom,
sometimes called karmic flow of sacred grace,
or we can continue to over-invest in competing
to possess larger and larger responsibilities
for monopolizing quantities of life’s time.
Plan A is Win-Win eco-logic.
Plan B is Lose-Lose ego-dislodging competitive
self-enslavement
irrationality
collective insanity masking rich opportunities within
Basic Attendance to Time’s Polycultural Nature.

When We Were Eight

When you were eight years old
waking to another perfect day’s dawn
what potential did you
with your autonomic intuition,
integrity of left deductive
with elder-right languages,
discover?

Who were you
as you stepped into morning’s warm spring sun,
first reminder of school year’s end
and summer’s leisurely recreation
of imagination,
role play expansion,
languishing loved laughter
replacing more challenging team sports
requiring a win-lose assumption,
and visual coordination,
of space with time
invisible to your perception.

What were you doing
lying flat on your stomach
in dutch clovered lawn’s grasses
looking down into a miniature jungle
without rivers,
forest for ants
and their insect tribes
and neighbors
and nations
and cultures,
some with advantages and risks and beauty
of flight,
landing lightly in grass-blade tree tops
as ants pursued more industrial economies
of richly nutritional value below,
sweet crystalline treasures,
jewels for their Aunt Queen’s healthy investment
in embryonic royal vocation
of developing naturally organic time,
endosymbiosis of a new generation
of flying ants,
Bodhisattva Warriors
for polytribal peace
with interminable faith
in our integrity of nature’s ecological justice.

Where was your family-owned business
of incorporating love
with truth and hope for inclusive faith
flexible enough to include boys
vulnerably drawn to other boys’ eyes and skin,
more than girls’ laughter and light heartedness?

How did you invest your perfect humid August days,
breathing Lake Michigan’s thick air,
reading Gone With The Wind
in wonder of such rich diversity
of spirit and ownership,
of integrity and entitled stupidity,
of nobility both within and despite poverty
of mendacity both within and despite superfluously competitive wealth
commodifying even beauty
and power
and nobility
and darkly rich fertile race?

Why did you love this embracing place
of multigenerational space,
your private caressing sangha farm
gardening your bicameral heart and lungs
mind and limbs in love’s familial
yet vegetative and fruit-filled embrace
so that no other place
could ever bring this organic sacred home again,
so that each other space
might ever bring this home regained?
