Midstream Reversals

When a plant an organism a biological system is young, this is nature's season for segregation and simplification, specialization. Time to ego grow internally toward full flowering and re-seeding maturation. Just so, when a plant, an ecosystemic planet, an individual's lifetime, a nation-state's cultural lifeline reaches historic maturity, mid-life crises of climates and landscapes reverse direction, reverse patriarchal dominance to patriot-matriotic ecobalancing isms, so that what had been WinWin ecopolitical recessive must become species dominant for continuing healthy outcomes. MidLife Systems tip toward new-dominant norms emphasizing integrity over segregation, polypathic and polyphonic-nutritional complexity over Either/Or Win/Lose LeftBrain dominant over-simplification. Both/And matriarchal reverse-hierarchical midlife crisis revolutions reweave purpose and meanings of day and night together, life and co-redemptive losses and suffering, Yang strength and Yin-flowing nurture, polycultural integrity revolutionarily new-delineating notnot bilateral LoseLose segregations of history, suddenly opening new vistas for cultural creolization, WinWin complex resolutions for natural cultures sustaining balancing climates of ego/ecosystemic harmonic health. When we are young, post-revolutionary embryonic, we develop toward maturity through deductive dominance of simplifications and segregating cultures and language. Yet, to grow into grace-abundant harvest, summer's Yang vigor increasingly embraces Yin's flowing integrity and interdependent cooperative networks of bilateral-appositional politics, dipolar co-arisings of old simplifications in newly resonant amplifications to support future and past and present regenerations, cultures of health, integrating both internal economic climates and external political nurturing landscapes.
