Poem
It was not yet noon when Ben said a host of lovely things. As far as we know, no one accused him of being publisher shy, or sleeping in. Ben said, Early to bed Early to rise Makes a man, and perhaps women and children more especially too, Healthy Wealthy and Wise. Ben did not advertise a brand name of any particularly aggressive nationalistic bed business for optimal wise healthy-wealth profit-making. Ben also did not claim to be the very best bed business CEO Pennsylvania had ever seen Or the wealthiest bed-making CEO slept early upon, under, or intimately nearby. Ben did not disinform all media outlets of what a great pacifist constitutional lawyer job he was not doing. Ben did not even take responsibility credits for the revolutionary work the personal cooperative democracy investment of armed militia freedom-fighters. Ben found it unwise to separate health from peaceful loving wealth; Unwise to believe we could grow violently unwise without also becoming unhealthy inside where peaceful light prefers to warm-glow reside. I was trying to remind my oldest son, now approaching his middle twenties, that dis-associating wealth from health and healthy aspirations is not wise., And, to re-associate chronic late night revelry Sunday through Saturday with challenges upgrading resiliently livable wealth. Hopefully, I mentored a more wisely balanced presentation, rather than unwise health segregation from wealth of fun, rather than exhausting already bad air polluted by late night escapist entertainments consumed too much and producing insufficient outcomes. I'm sure I went on too long about our cultural systemic Win or Lose competition problems, Losing health and losing wealth long-term played-out irresponsibilities of fake anti-ecological revolution authorities growing wary of fake-promised health-wealth raptures originating from a fundamentalist Protestant anti-scriptural dualistic healthy nature v wealth-hoarding monocultural Spirit punishing muilticultural theological experiences of healthy Here with wealthy Now Segregating secular nature's healthy development from sacred Spirit's wealthy multicultural co-investments which would have been unthinkable to a Jewish 0000 4D Jesus humane natured Lover Because also Divine-Holy Matriarchal Spirited. I probably then too slowly turned from Gaian theological v ecological disassociation problems of too fiercely segregating rapturous healthy spirits from blissfully wealthy long-term natures, to problems of Great White Father's social-systemic discriminating nation between unhealthy Win or Lose competing ecopolitical behaviors causing disabling, chaotically oppressive lack of therapeutic social development, absence of conservational attention to ecologically sound long-term NatureStudies And theologically non-violent HolySpirit Win to Win integrity research. Both of which seem to agree with Ben, and probably even J.C. Himself, Sleeping under the stars, praying, walking and talking in Gardens, meditating on healthy fishing vocations while early morning sitting and walking on wealth of salty Seas, and planting sacred trees in early Spring to lovingly harvest shepherd for carpentry pruning time each Autumn in a pre-deforested MotherSoil CoOperative Early to natural bed Early to spiritual dream co-wise healthy bodies wealthy minds ego/eco bilateral nature/spirit binomial healthy/wealthy ZeroZones of RealTime 4D Wise. I would call my son to apologize for keeping him up so late with my health-wealth therapeutic evangelical gate, but I doubt he's up yet, before noon, when Ben said the very best lovely things any health-wealth constitutional deliberator for restoring Earth's peaceful justice ever said.
