This second section is inspired by Lin Yutang's translation of Laotse's "The Character of Tao", p. 63, in The Wisdom of Laotse, Modern Library, 1948; in which I take the liberty of interpreting "Tao" as progenitive binomial Time, incarnating as information, memory-excarnating as bilateral not-not polynomial exformation.
Each day an extension of my time
so each morning a risk and opportunity
to avoid greedy egocentrism
to step into harmonious eco-centered consciousness.
Each still-wombed entity extends mother's incarnating time
so each maternal risk and opportunity,
each free will act of paternity,
aborts competitive egocentrism
by incarnating bilateral consciousness,
wisdom's good faith compost for our co-operating future.
Each life extends time's enculturing memory
of risks and opportunities
avoiding evolution's monochromatic dead ends
by embracing revolution's polyculturing conscience.
Each moment incarnates time's eternally wombed memory
of culturally autistic risk and polypathic opportunity
to avoid deductive domination's suffering
to mutually embrace multi-paradigmatic synergy.
Time is a hollow womb
and its omnipotence is universal!
Fathomlessly ubiquitous.
Like the double-binding revolutionary progenitor of all things.
Its smooth-structured boundaries resonating
prime relationship not-not tangles informing,
untying,
Its light tempered balance of enlightenment,
Its turmoil equivalently decomposing dissonant understories,
Yet dark like deep ecological flow it sustains econormative Commons.
I do not know whose embryo time is
if not a 4-dimensional echo of time's natured incarnation
within cosmic bicameral consciousness.
