Justus Melting

Step out with me, if you would be so kind, on this melting island of ice. Full-heated summer sun feels good on backs and shoulders and faces turned down and in to hunt, to fish. We start each day with gratitude for warmth of light and life. Empathize with polar bears, or try to. Not merely sympathize; actually empathize, step onto our icy place and time, noticing ways bears bare our own lack of global justice for them and for ourselves. Together, we fear human rights and justice are not ecojustice enough to sustain optimized and inclusive life, our Continuous Quality Improvement investments with minimized risk of loss. We live on a shrinking island of hopelessly competitive despair. We feel climatic heat melting our angry and fearful interior and exterior landscapes of nutritional potential. We fear drowning in an understory of melting synergetic boundary waters, unnatural systemic immersion, swimming in an icy northern sea of metamorphic adversity. We hunger for a lost hunting paradise of cooperatively beloving love. We feel homeless unto a catastrophic miraculous death. Death dreams in constellations of encultured space, dynamic time invested in frequencies of place, coincidental patterns, gravitational rhythms, co-operative flow... Life is what we absorb each day, invest in, divest of each night. Time is what regenerates future and decomposes past. Economic balance is found in nutrients we produce, not toxins we consume. Eco's blind justice: ratios and rations portions and proportions entities and gives and dispossesses rectifies and takes and coredeems plants and harvests winnows and composts thins and nurtures blames and praises stimulates and responds causes and effects and affects and infects and defects and reflects dislikes and values lives and decays orders and confuses confluates and dissonates frowns down upon and within and smiles up and without curses and blesses. Would it not be good to balance justice so everything adds up without remainder double-bound smooth-structured perfection, mutually justified margins balancing all sides of any story and issue, correctly aligned judgment, a logically normative standard, a natural law inclusive of all Earth's living, breathing values and nutrients, and elusive of all EarthTribal pathologies and wilting economies, failing gardens, competing losers, summer seared deserts as polar bares? Our ecotherapy calls for more cooperating gardens and recreations, and employment, and lifestyles, and revolving rhyming analogical norms for economic behavior, Golden practice and intent emerging from ancient thread-naked transmillennialism. Synergetic Polyuniversalism, multisystemic analysis of Nature balancing Time's right to struggle and suffer toward defining, harmonizing, effecting, regenerating our network's root operating system of, for, and by Time's equi-valent justice, life's full-blooded DNA, to site our most regenerative example found in each neurally transpositional cell. Awaking now, to our melting ice home, did we find this ecojustice, or did RNA find and intelligently develop us, or both somehow? Only eternal remembered time's unfolding will tell upon refolding.
