Open Letter To Leaders

An open letter to new legislators, new chief executive officers, new judges, and all new healthy climate parents and other advocates. When you were in the process of securing this new position in your life, and, hopefully, the lives of your extended family, you probably were expected to speak fluently about how your past experiences, often negative, had prepared you for this vocation at this time, to represent the most prosperous and healthiest interests for all within your electoral/appointive constituency, first, and then, as possible, for all people everywhere. You were elected/appointed. So presumably you do this well, this learning from past negative experience to suggest how we will do better with your future in this empowered choice-making office representing both your extended intentional family’s healthiest wealthiest interests and also, with further maturation, extending those economic and political responsibilities for just and peaceful leadership across your full constituency of bio- and ecosystems. This fluency between experience and problem-solving reflection, discernment, is presumably why we elected or appointed you to carry often heavy responsibilities for others with, hopefully, the right freedoms of authority; not too much to become a poor listener and fellow-student, and not too little to eventually despair that you know it all, you know far too much about why we all seem to be losing healthy climates together when our most earnest integrative intention is to grow more cooperatively owned and managed health-climates, and landscapes, bodies and constitutions, corporations and organic incarnations evolving regenerative health, negatively defined as negatively correlated with bicameral compete/cooperate pathology, sometimes developing chronic paranoid ecopolitical fear-mongering; the Original Follower’s Sin of promulgating further cognitive-affective dissonance, as hidden as the Emperor’s Empty Supremacist Clothes. It more harmoniously seems, in this moment of your-our economic and political gratitude for ever-new opportunity, you have a fundamental choice to make about your decision-making process itself while living within your chosen office(s). 1. It is now my turn to come through on all those verbal commitments I made to myself and to those who have put me behind this desk, or even on this pedestal, based on wisdom of learning curves rooted in past regenerative experience, and degenerative nightmares, and my understanding of the positives and negatives, the nutrients and the toxins, apparently endemic to our shared ecopolitical experiences. Here, you see yourself more as a teacher than a co-mentoring deeply cooperative student, co-passionately discerning, co-empathically trusting more than mistrusting Earth’s ecological regenerative health. 2. It is now my well-timed opportunity to step more deeply into my learning curve. What do these voices of these constituents, those now in my day to day learning experience, most want to discuss and contest with me that we actively hope to learn about together? How can I share this learning process with my most multiculturally informed, and informing, constituents? [Or, in the case of more therapeutic parenting, our kids.] How can I bring this larger extended family along on this our new journey of ecopolitical cooperative discovery about what promises to optimally WinWin improve regenerative short and long-term health and security trends? On the other hand, what promises to continue to degenerate all that Business As Competitively Usual that I had invested in my Win/Lose campaign speeches but not in my wiser and more WinWin moments and days and weeks? Cooperative-evolving, revolving, resonating more compassionate, more deeply learning about active loving integrative hearts and confluent rather than dissonant bicameral ecological minds and DNA-fueled bodies and RNA-reweaving root-prime ecotherapeutic nutritional environments and health v pathology climate experiences on planet Earth. We approach this time of 2020 gratitude more deliberately investing in cooperative ownership and management of our political economies. Democracies begin to choose to invest in deeper and wider democratic ownership rather than more competitive plutocratic management and ownership. Economies, like the poli-nutritional powers from which they derive investment and divestment values, with monocultural plutocratic capitalist WinLose understories, devolutionary paranoid and nihilistic anthrocentric theories passing as survivalist evolutionary rational theory, will always under-perform more regenerative health of multiculturing democratic, co-empathically more trusting than mistrusting, polities, deep listening toward Left/Right as EgoYang/EcoYin Tao of ReGenerative DNA EcoPolitics with PermaCultural (0)-DissonantWaste Balance Outcomes.
