Melting Ice

Step out with me, if you would be so kind, on my melting island of ice. Full-heated summer sun feels good on our backs and shoulders and faces turned down and in to hunt, to fish. We start this day with gratitude for warmth of light and powered life. Empathize with polar bears, or try to. Not merely sympathize; actually empathize, step onto their/our natural 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 Earth just enough to sustain optimized and inclusive life and Continuous Quality Improvement investments with minimized risk of loss. i feel like we live on a shrinking island of hopelessly competitive despair. I feel climatic heat melting our angry and fearful interior and exterior landscapes of nutritional just right and left proficient potential. I fear drowning in an understory of melted cooperative cultural boundary waters of natural systemic immersion, swimming in an icy northern sea of submissive submersion. I hunger for a lost hunting paradise of cooperatively synergetic vitality. I feel homeless nest sinking into a catastrophic unmiraculous death. Death dreams in constellations of encultured space, dynamic time invested in frequencies of place, co-arising patterns, gravitational rhythms, co-operative flow resilient resonance... 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 just toxic losses we have tragically consumed. Eco-logic ratios and rations portions and proportions identify and give and dispossess rectify and take and co-redeem plant and harvest winnow and compost thin and nurture blame and praise stimulate and respond To traumas and therapies causes and effects and affects and infects and defects and reflects dislikes and values lives and decays To order and confusion resonance and dissonance frowns down upon and within and smiles up and without curses against blessings. 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 golden healthy law inclusive of all Earth's living, breathing qualitative values and quantitative nutrients, eluding all EarthTribal pathologies and wilting economies, failing gardens, competing losses, summer seared deserts, polarizing bares? Our ecotherapy calls for more cooperative gardens and recreation, and employment, and lifestyles, and revolving rhyming analogical norms for economic behavior, Golden practice of co-gravitating intent emerging from ancient threads of transmillennial loss. Synergetic PolyUniversalism, Post-Taoist multisystemic analysis of Nature balancing Time's right to struggle and suffer toward dialectical defining, harmonizing, effecting, regenerating our metamorphic root co-operative system of, for, and by Earth's EquiValent Justice, in four primal dipolar/bipolar fractal dimensions, like DNA, to site our most regenerative example found in each neuro-transpositional cell. Awaking now, to our melting ice home, did we find this ecojustice, or did fractal seasons find and intelligently polymorph us, or integrating both somehow? Only eternally remembered time's unfolding will tell upon refolding loss.
