Poem
A transitional skill my Mom taught me, good to use when I start to feel at-risk, somehow and anyhow, whether in my relationship with her, or with Earth’s more kosmic garden of naturally wild and domestic spirits. Remember to ask permission to ask questions, even before you may be sure of how She will probably answer this question especially when you may not yet fully know what or how or when to ask. “May I ask you a question?” can be felt as a stab in hearts for lovers who thought you were their question-space, their primal source of both mystery and childlike endless curiosity inviting multi-reiterated “Why and How this Curiosity” soaking deeper into your most richly composting conjoined souls of language. If, when you ask this of your Mom, Earth, Lover, Child, Colleague, Political and Economic Leaders, fellow pilgrims along our nutritionally cooperative way, if they seem to not respond at all, your best translation of this absence might be “Apparently not right now. Please try again later. I will probably be back campaigning your way again soon.” If, when you ask along your poli-economic trans-relational path, you hear something like, “I’m sorry, what did you say?” your best translation could be “Please repeat. No, I was not available for your question, but now I might be. However, beware, my mind is in transition-mode right now, and I might not seem to care as compared to another better appointed time." Here it could be helpful to memorize a script: “May I share fifteen minutes later today?” or variations on this quarter-turn of cooperative communication, meeting each other halfway between your hope to gain my full attention at all your ego’s most convenient times and everywheres and your negatively correlated parallel hope to receive each of Earth’s relational invitations as co-operatively intended gift-it-forward response to whatever it was that Ego had been investing in just before you asked for this transactional nutrition to become invested right your way, “Why can’t I have your attention in this co-ego-focused way, right now?” kinda’ pushy, but may be worth a try. If, when you ask for attention, co-investments, intentions of co-relationship, such as “May I ask you a question,” If Earth responds with “I have always thought you were my most curious source of life’s richest, deepest, most important and yet intimate questions.” And then goes on and on resonantly, redundantly, Especially about wise relationship choices and love as life’s pilgrimage, co-mentoring how to both truly and beautifully plant our network of organic gardens, Most fierce Advocate for Golden correlational landscape design, and redesigner of (0)ego-zone nutrient flow charts, NatureMystic Quester of Earth-embedded hopes as WinWin ego outcomes despite timeless death and decay great and small transitional incarnational climate trends, don't be surprised. I told you so. If you hear anything along those considerable lines, please don’t worry so much about forgetting what your LeftBrain competing-for-attention question was, or might become with further regenerate development. Rather, refocus on why did you think you needed to speak this question right now? Why not just ask your originally intended question, or is this your primal question implied within each question? Wondering why we are always open within Earth’s source of childlike questions, why do we call this mental and physical and economic and politically ecological climates of healthy curiosity? May I ask you a question? “I most certainly hope you are.” “Namaste, for such mutually-assured pilgrimage.” Mythic Mystery, active hope for Earth’s communicating love and sometimes not quite so balanced yet, paranoia, egocentric terrorism, anthrocentric addictions and aversion to competing LeftBrain evolutionary supremacist dialects of ego-independence, cognitive-affective dissonance on an epic operatic scale of non-cooperation, competitive research complexities, lapsing toward chaos, waiting to become more fully networked as cooperative opportunities to reiteratively ask “Why not?” receiving WinWin kosmic and RightNow answers, to communicate our intelligently designed polyculturing curiosity. In this more cooperative communication way, every Earth Day is also Mother’s Day, May we ask you a question? Why? Because I would not know how to ask in our time now past or ask in future Time before this Why right now. Why?... reiterating regenerating (0)Riginating Evolutionary Intent. Every day Mother’s Day dipolar MidWay thru Earth’s embryonic nutrition, inter-regenerating healthy ego language, eco-writing memories of Moms with futures who might have been why.
