Hunger Management

Variations on a Punishing Theme

When people are hungry and at risk of homelessness
despair
wilting and climatic yet chronic extinction,
It is because their administrators and developers,
incubators and technical assistance providers
grantors and lenders
representatives and public sector officials
absorb too many investments and nutrients
for their own mouths and mortgages,
sleeping soundly at night
unaware of how their CQI intentions
economically and ecologically miss their orthopraxis mark
of solidarity and mutual subsidiarity,
of redeeming the bedtime and nutrients
they intended to invest in those with greater need.

Therefore the self-oppressive unruliness of hungry homeless people
Is due to over absorbent interference of well-intended practitioners
expert administrators
senior consultants.
That is why dominated marginal monoculturalists of poverty
are so dissonantly unruly.

Chronically at-risk people are not afraid of death’s dissonance
and entropic trends,
Because they are anxious to survive,
to build life; not so much death and perpetual advent.
That is why wilting lives are not afraid of macrosystemic death trends.
It is mutual-mentors who invest in cooperative living
That incarnate wise evolution of deep ecologically balancing lives.

Self-composting toilets
have surprisingly greater value
to people without a pot to pee in
than self-composting banks.

CoRedemptive Miracle

If you are asking me to forgive you
for being born human,
for the sins of making ignorant,
and often habitual,
mistakes of judgment and understanding,
for your lack of compassion and empathy,
for your cognitive and affective and effective dissonance,
for your part in our shared investment
in a cultural pool of violence,
mutual domination assumptions of win-lose logistics,
both intentionally and accidentally causing yourself to suffer,
others to suffer and become angry,
and hate,
and despair,
and wilt,
and develop climate-control issues,
and extinguish;
if you are asking me to forgive you
for sometimes doing more than your fair share of mayhem,
then of course my answer is “Yes!”

Especially if you might forgive me
for the errors of my pathological ways.
If this could be a cooperative double-binding kind of transaction
of mutual forgiveness for sins already committed
and those still on their way,
then this might serve a mutually redemptive dynamic,
as well as mutual mentoring cooperative investment
all in one compost pile of coincidental enrichment.

But, while this is all fine and good,
you do not need my fore-giveness
nor can I participate in your redemptive investments
of life,
of time,
of resources,
of positive healthy sustainable relationships,
in your stead,
nor you in mine.
My capacity to fore-give,
to invest in redemptive right relationship,
is limited not only by my own passioning capacity,
my ability and range of empathy,
but also by your own committed ability to empathize with,
identify fully with yourself,
your significant and also less significant others,
whether human or some other self-organizing
self-perpetuating
self-regenerative systemic form and force of nature.

Fore-giving,
like investment and karmic redemption of pay-it-forward commitment
to future hope of positive relationship,
begins as an internal economy
and grows out into Earth’s natural
systemic ecology of cooperative relationship
intention and practice.
You need not compete for my fore-giveness
any more than you could dominate in earning
what best remains a zero-sum free market exchange
of mutual regard,
and hope,
and trust,
positive investment is also negative disinvestment
from further harm,
mistrust,
inequity,
dissonant dominating win-lose strategies.
This is basic Hippocratic Oath mutual mentorship.

To do no harm
we must at least intend no harm
in actions,
transactions,
practice,
intent,
giveness.
An optimally redemptive economy,
equitable return-to-zero-balance forgiveness
of your investments,
is also a balancing return toward zero-sum win-win ecology of grace.

I can only be your redeemer
if you are your own redeemer,
returning Time’s investment in choosing to continue evolving,
incarnating,
your DNA potential since conception.
We are each coincidental co-redeemers,
redeeming Elder Time’s DNA regenerative investment
in our interdependent,
multisystemic
polypathic prime bicameral relationship
from past generations of Time,
carnating future’s regeneration
of our cooperative id-entity season.

You are your holonic subset
of nature’s informating existence,
conscious of your Time’s regenerating
and dissonant neural memories;
there, fore-given at birth, you know your redeemer lives.

If you’re asking me how I know my redeemer lives,
because my Eco-Time’s cooperative relational
(coincidental) investments
in this ego-ionic id-entity
of left-right neural balance
sing this song of miraculous co-harmony.

Dedicated to Joy

Redeeming Time’s Investment

He took his morning seat
to hear the Sage’s sonnet,
“On Punishment”:

“The people are not afraid of death;
Why threaten them with death?
Supposing that the people are afraid of death,
and we can seize and kill the unruly,
Who would dare to do so?
Often it happens that the executioner is killed.
and to take the place of the executioner
Is like handling the hatchet for the master carpenter.
He who handles the hatchet for the master carpenter
Seldom escapes injury to his hands.”
(“The Wisdom of Laotse”, Lin Yutang (ed.), 1948, Modern Library, p. 300)

He drifted off and on and in and out
as gathering dusk redreamed:
Enlightening people are not afraid of losing time;
Why threaten them with loss?
Supposing they learn fear of untimely death,
And would seize and kill unruly incarnations,
Who would be wise enough to do so?

Often it happens that prophets are killed
to take the place of omniscient justice.
Redemption of another’s investment
is like handling the wu-wei hatchet for the master carpenter,
He who handles the master carpenter’s trimming points
pruning just discernment and balancing design
Seldom escapes injury to crucified hands.

Jesus was a master carpenter?
Teaching wu-wei design
and fishermanic skills
in a school of fishy men.
His self-optimizing teaching was redemptively mentored,
as is ours,
graduating from dominating executioners of time’s incarnate investments,
to commence mutual-mentoring global cooperative design.

We take each morning’s messianic seat
to invest our wise redemption.

When We Are In Charge

Evolution unfolds history
as economics forms cultural values.

Just as currency only carries values we supply
as a society of economists,
so my own paltry sums can only carry those values
I am willing to invest in.

Money does not grow out of some distant Orthodox investment value tree,
We invest our money,
like our time,
in our values, or disvalues.
Cash is our economic cart,
while our cultural values are our investment horsepower.

Our values are subjects of economic life,
as redemptive synergetic investments are objects,
objectives,
outcomes,
purposes,
meaningful as ecological life and time
and peace and justice as actively invested love.

Our “need” values are negatively synaptic–
lots of horsepower,
as our want values are positively aptic,
sustainable,
maintainable,
optimal composting economic norms
and natural law assumptions of synergetic ecologic,
like the stress of rapid spring growth
must separate winter’s decompositional gratitude
from summer’s regenerous amplitude.

We need to not be hated and hateful
marginalized or marginalizing others.
We need to be loved as lovers of all nature,
including humane nature.
We would like to not be neglected and ignored,
the subject of our own self-ridicule.
We would like to be met with gratitude
and trust
and non-violence
and willingness to invest in cooperative values.

We invest in ecological cooperation more gracefully
knowing our future time is already redeemed,
regenerative,
through our synergetic praxis,
cooperative self and other love
as gift-it-forward investments from Elder generations,
passing through our positive regenerative intent,
to redeem our future history of generations.

Ecojustice yang horsepower
races genetically bionic Eco-Logic’s YinYin Cart,
just as ecological values and disvalues
empower global Yang to drive
our binomial economic cart of wealth deposits and empoverishing loss
and health risk,
currency as energy flow and constipation,
and nutritional functions of co-redemptive compost.

Ecological karma predicts economic grace,
or not so much risk
and loss of face.
A regeneratively optimizing ecosystem
presupposes a redemptively cooperative economy.

A degenerative sub-optimizing eco-stressed culture,
ecological thoughtlessness,
lack of comprehensive consciousness,
grows mental and physical illness,
chronic cognitive dissonance,
inclusive affective autism,
flat-line economic entropy
with high risks of wilting
consumers and producers,
decomposers
and extinguishing richly effective pollinators.

It seems to me that ecological trends
predict an economic trickle up theory,
disempowerment and disinvestment
in synergetic systems,
beloved and climax community development,
will continue leading toward our demise,
until this unraveling ecosystem
reconnects balancing tipping points
and wu-wei principle
for reweaving ecojustice.

An EarthTribe platform of Earth Rights,
for Self as Earth-holonic sacred icon,
as for Other,
as for all Earth’s natural eco-justice logical future.

Double-Binding ReBirth

The dancer becomes dance
as the singer becomes song’s liturgical story.

The player becomes recreational play
and the worker becomes vocation.

The designer becomes bicameral design
and life becomes co-redemptive landscaping,
as space unfold’s time’s seasonal function,
Yang unfurls Yin-Yin’s bidirectional prime frequency.

Co-redemptive economics unfolds regenerative ecological systems
as coregenerating functional seasons develop informative nutritional abundance,
eco-normative value for natural life systems,
development processes,
creative bicameral processors
of form’s function as space’s well-raced polycultural time.

Winter’s transcendent decomposition
opens to summer’s diastatic fullness,
as Yin-time’s regenerative transactions
invite binomial balance to Yang-space’s permaculturing sustainable designs.

Trinitarian spatial dimensions
over unitarian bitemporal dimension
rationally deduces to more smooth-structured Eulerian function:
dualistic prime-linear space diametric systems
before-after
above-below
without-within
appositional and oppositional temporal-spatial values,
are explicitly and concavely our Universe’s metaphysical
+/(-,-)Zero-soul core prime thermodynamic balance
as Core Vertexial Space OVER Core vortexial dark time,
Polynomial Yang embracing Yin-Yin Game Theorem.

Begat Primal Rhythms

Time begat space,
energy begat matter,
function begat form,
as Yin begat Yang.

Concave begat convex,
negative begat positive,
ionic waves begat radiant sprays,
as NotBinomial Function begat Binomial Information.

Consumption begat production,
parasites begat Hosts,
electrons begat protons,
as monoculture begat polycultures.

Non-aversion begat grasping prehension,
possession begat sin,
ignorance begat noise,
as mentoring begat teaching.

Past begat future,
negentropy begat synergy,
diastatic effectiveness begat cause,
as redemption begat investment.

Air begat fire,
water begat Earth,
ecological value begat power,
as decomposition begat regenerative metamorphosis.

Justice begat peace,
peace begat love,
listening begat speaking,
as polycultural liturgy begat permaculture design.

Regeneration begat redemption,
purgation begat enlightenment,
eco begat ego,
as economic cooperative justice begat ecologic.

So, just maybe two wrongs could make a right,
space is to time
as matter forms energy,
convex forms concave’s exterior,
as Yin reflexes Yang.

Form is to function
as positive is to negative
as grasping prehension is to non-aversive non-violence,
as sin and ignorance appear to those possessed by dysfunction.

Production is to consumption
as Host is to parasitic relationship
as Earth is to water,
as Permacultural Design is to Polycultural Flow and Development.

Radiant light is to ionic gravitational dark relationship waves
as protons are to electrons
as future is to past,
as regenerative creativity is to bicameral decomposition.

Synergy is to negentropy
as fire is to air,
as synaptic is to aptic,
as information is to noise.

Investment is for redemption
as cause is for effectiveness,
as power is for optimizing ecovalue,
as teaching is for mentoring.

Polycultures are to monoculture
as speaking is to listening,
as love is to active internal peace,
as peace is to ecojustice.

Big Bang dense and noisy negentropic polycultural information
begat permacultural positive evolution toward comprehensive Beloved light,
as NotNotPolynomial Function is to Polynomial Information,
as ecojustice is to ecotherapy,
as history is to culture,
as Yang is to Yin,
as +1 is to (-,-)0 binary ergodic balance.

Reculturing Stuff

Karma, grace, incarnation,
evolution, progress, enculturation,
pick whichever label fits for you,
are like composting souls and soils,
regenerating dispossessed stuff
within myself, society, Earth.

With compost we extract what we invest
through Ego’s intent
and Eco’s Logical regenerous praxis.

Soil and soul enrichment
and bicultural redemption
compost two layers
of one ecotherapeutic process;

Browns are decomposing Yin function
and Greens are resonant resolving Yang form.
Just-right balance water,
avoid dehydration and toxins,
and gently stir daily.

Redemption’s Razor Edge

Who is this would-be Redeemer
stalking my own mirror?
Whether for good or evil
I remain steadfastly ambivalent.

Riding Time’s unfolding edge,
glancing forward for faith in better
stronger
surer lasting light
glancing backward darkens optimistic hope
to change what I cannot,
to fulfill commitments to grow together
as I might
were I not so all-encompassing alone.
Universe of Presence much too vast for home.

Even so, the present makes a safer home
than future’s pregnant womb
or past’s sterile tomb,
drawing these two faces together
in stigmatic messiah wound,
breathing in and out,
stifling each victorious shout
“Not yet!…not yet….again
my time unwilling to climax
without our Time Beloved.

Faith in fated freedom
struggles with choosing birth as death
to what might have been,
contents with choosing life
as if chosen through cosmic coincidence
of karmic evolution.

Redeemer hearts and minds
perpetually ride anguish surf of paradise.

Humane Nature’s Seasons

Tao is Like the Sea
flowing and floating Within,
soul without incarnation,
soil without fertility.

Tao is absolute and has no name.
Uni-versal absolute Not-Not knotted Logos
without rope.
Though Nature unfolds.
Universe cannot be economized, commodified, used
owned.
If Wise Shamanic Rulers could sustain undefiled Universal Nature,
Earth would Yin-yield their YangHumaned Nature within,
as panentheistic without.

YangHeaven and YinEarth join,
And fertile compost rains solar-lunar rays,
Beyond human nature’s deductive-only reason,
Yet intuitively natured equivalently within all natural systems.

Our Left-Brained Dominant Culture generated Logos.
With deductive labels, sets, and static systems,
We regeneratively optimize by knowing when to stop,
Midway.
Wisdom discerns nature’s systemic tipping points,
exempt from danger and dissonant decay.
Tao-Universal Intelligence on and in and above Earth
Ecological to solar rivers of gravity’s waves
reposing in the sea,
polymorphing Earth’s perennially regenerate wise-seasons.

Universe is Human Nature’s Sea of Mindfulness.

Seasons ripen for post-Aquarian  Fall harvest,
At long-last our millennial season for empirical
industrial
reductive-deductive Self-Bullying
now bidextrously obsolete
with ambidextrous
multisystemic
polypathic
PermaTeleological Redemptorist ReGeneration.

Tao incarnates Universal Co-Intelligent Wisdom
as Buddha’s messianic-karmic Left-Right
West-East balanced brain.

We are Earth’s coincidental Sea-sons-and-daughters
reflecting Her universal wisdom enlighteration.

 

Note: This piece is a post-millennial transposition of Laotse’s “Tao is Like the Sea,” p. 172, Modern Library, Lin Yutang, ed., 1948. It also plays with nature’s 4-season regenerative functionality as human’s nature’s universal “cognitive-consonance” Sea of eco-normativity.
