Gratitude A co-empathic sense of trust, awe, appreciation of echo-resonant deep-listening resolving life. Gratitude Autumnal taproot harvesting spring-hope, just as summer's nutritional maturation unfolds Origin of fertile decomposing mindfulness. Gratitude Why Thich Nhat Hanh thinks it important to smile nutritiously. Why Positive Deviance works. Why Positive Psychology works and plays spoken truths with dancing beauty. Why regenerative political discernment leads healthier cooperative outcomes polyculturally maturing by multicultural self-governing balancing networks, landscapes, climaxing EarthHealth climates. Mutual Gratitude diastolically opens toward agapic/erotic love, provokes lasting happiness and contentment while sustained in a culture too often neglecting more cooperatively embraced and active entertainments. Necessary and sufficient, requited, for fulfilling mind-fulls reflecting healthy sustainable physical life. Gratitude attitude: Respect for Earth's grace, and sustained Mutual Commons Place leads through hope and toward summer's full faith, toward fall's harvest of love and beauty-bliss; where We Are One, and prepare Winter's cycle of hibernating Oneness in Yin's recessive advent, facing toward Spring's new birth. When our intent chooses gratitude practice becomes centered in mindfulness, ego-wealth reflecting eco-health consciousness. When intent is co-mindful reiterative modeling, co-mentoring, our mutually regenerative practice loves life as grateful love our more beautiful selves Zero-sum economizes equivocal grace. Becoming grace in process requires balancing ecology of Nutritional Yang DeductiveCausaLaws with Love's Yin InductiveAffectiveTrusts. These nondual two are inextricably dipolar linked as are noticing hope with understanding faith, yang formed yintegral flow, leading, balancing nondually together toward political/economic health/wealth reassuring comprehension. Yin's Grace whispers of hope for a meeting of minds. To build Yang's value, resonance, develop mindfulness, sing and dance pray and speak our story, our history of nutritional laws of nature with love's grace of spirit, with gratitude for all those whose voices ring reverberate in our ears and minds as bodies. Gratitude for autumn's forest falling seed, inoculating our soils with hope to be held, secure, through winter's politically competitive economy of cold discontent, decomposition. Winter brings purgative Advent of dormant hope without current incarnation of embryonic faith, which returns to 4-seasoned Earth each reborn Spring of daily life. This same gratitude enthymematic seed-root of Positive Deviance, Appreciative Inquiry, Basic Attendance, CoEmpathic Political Trust Attachment Theory Restorative Justice Nonviolent Communication between pilgrims traveling Earth's empathic consciousness of life and death nutrition revolutions, regenerating compost piles of truth as beauty memories. Gratitude A graced gestalt, informed contrast with an unsustainable law of insufficient absorption into ego-proprietor value-based gestalt, either-or, Win-Lose, healthy-toxic opportunity-risk courage-curiosity affect. Mindfulness balances a bicameral cooperative grace thriving economy with our midway TrimTab value optimizing political survival economy. This karma/grace gestalt comprehends OurCommons as EarthHome Network to which we equally belong responsibly authoritative more profoundly, naturally, truthfully, realistically, sustainably, normatively, ethically than understanding this Commons of Earth-Air-Water-Firey flames of information as property we own, instruct, dominate, enslave, commodify, and even lecture with great confusion sometimes. We do no good presenting our best political-economic lectures while standing empty-handed in our favorite garden or forest or mountain or sea or lake or home; far better still to listen to these speak their grace across grateful ears and eyes and nose and mouth, to know where we might best begin with bicameral hands and bipedal vocational feet. Deep Ecology of Gratitude growth in depth of regenesis, an economy of nutritional nature co-mentoring bodies of graceful co-ownership through value transfers with other enculturations present, past and future sentient beings at their cooperative GiveGraceForward expansive expense, co-invested interdependent multigenerational benign parasites disguised as nakedly benign Hosts. To comprehend this EarthCommons calls to listen, with gratitude, and thereby increase in mindfulness of abundant comprehensive potential, graceful loving SpiritYin with nutritional YangNature's Laws and Primal Principles of eco-balancing reciprocity.
