Poem
I took the only seed of hope for any future healthy Truffula Trees, but reminded my clinically depressed acquaintance we are all born co-redeemers, not addictively incubating extractors. Ours is not to commodify what we did not recreate for its sufficient regeneration, to fairly claim any rights to co-redemptive value. You talk funny, replied the Lorax. go talk with your dead dinosaurs, dying forests, your failing gorillas and polar bears, and honey bees, with all those fancy eco-political co-redemption theories of cooperation. See how they feel about their cooperative investment in your sorry anthrocentric butt. Not knowing quite what to say, I thanked him for his sorry butt response and brought this treasured seed back home to learn what our ecotherapeutic community of mutual co-arisers would most love to do with and for our Tree of Earth's Truffula seed. Eventually a clever PolyCultural Mediator, Someone way in the silent back, no one is quite sure whom, gasped out "Why don't you plant the damn thing somewheres the sun shines, unlike your sorry butts." So we did. We took the seed out to the meadow and planted it where it would provide grace-filling shade and receive water from our roof's run-off barrels, also planted around our home. Cooperative trees of Truffula grow quickly in rich nutrient-balanced organic compost, much like the rest of us receiving more confluent love, mutually symbiotic nutrients, and not so much competitive monochromatic drama, monopolistic monoculturing pushy selfishness, Tumorous toxins subside in generous environments of kind ecstatic contentment, wise thoughtfulness of the 7th regeneration's future of time, lovers of truth as deep power and wide ecological light, co-redeemers of economic balance Eco-normic health as notnot pathology appositions, eco-multisystemic phyloregenetic linguists of verbs as fractal-fold implicate-temporal icons with ionic mythic/logos Creation as ReGeneration Narrative of Earth's Genesis, Polycultural cooperatives for eco-political health emerging regenerativity research scientists and permacultural designers and multicultural investors, rational and sane regenerators, rehabilitators, reconnectors, religionaries of sustainable sacred-holonic life-system inter-religious transconnected cooperation, synergetic integrity. Next thing you know we have a first generation of decomposing leaves, harvested flowers and berries, and four perfectly balanced organic Truffula Tree seeds. Once again our Permaculturist Family asked how can we optimize this global future for our children's children with this regenerative offering transported to where Earth as potential Heaven most needs such healthy wealth? Again, dark back voice croaks, "Why don't you give one to the North to wave through winter's blasting wind. One to the South but not too far South because coastlines become faultlines. One to East of river to cool her mourning grey water, but not too high up because aquifers grow absence, like virtue grows sin. One to the West horizon's mountains, to profile all those red skies at night you're always expecting here in your positive psychology sailing delight in truth-telling, yet eco-pathology denying, kinda dualistic way." But, that's not what we did. We brought one to the polar bears, and one to the honeybees, one to the gorillas, and one to the tortoises, and in return they gave us eggs and honey, regenerating nutritional lessons in cooperative tribal and multicultural healthy living, and co-empathic experience with how to stay grateful and warm through climatic winter's hibernation. From this we learned together to live in this polyculturing economy, this ecological therapeutic community, like good cooperative organic fertilizers, health farmers, mutually benign co-parasites, where I let you know what I need to invest in, divest of, and who I am to share, and in exchange, you tell me what I am to share that you need more of and sometimes not quite so much of, and what you have to share that might enrich Earth household's health. As we become adept with our endosymbiotic evolving Tree of Win-Win Cooperative Life, we are diversifying our production/consumption balanced market, mutually mentoring other communities about what gorillas and forests, polar bears and honey bees and tortoises teach us and unfortunately have not learned from us, about ecology of co-arising cooperative economics, about becoming optimally regenerated and religioned Co-redeemers of Earth's primal gift, healthy life, faithful to our co-regenerators past temporal bilateral memories still ebbing and flowing through each cell, hopeful for our seven regenerating future heaven.
