Poem
What words do we choose for maximizing our ultimate accomplishments, achieving our healthiest goals, measuring our 100% successful therapeutic outcome projections? Why do these words, and our feelings about these choices wave in and out of optimal happiness and prosperity, even when quantitative measures suggest our historical maximums continue to trend up and up toward infinite irresolution? We say we could become anything, but do we mean we might achieve everything, every power, timeless omnipotence? How do WinWin ecopolitical norms accommodate WinLose evolutionary imaginations? Permaculturists, like environmental therapists and holistic medicine practitioners of new life out of old deaths, favorably contrast polycultures with problematic monocultural outcomes. Weed patches, essentially, where you intended your front yard garden and which may infest where you intended to grow your healthy ego identity. We might hope to become more polypathic achievers by acclimating to less egocentric monopolistic gestalts, climates of self and other awareness becoming atrophied subclimates, static, aging hoary traditionalists of thought and faith concomitant feelings, calcifying empathic trusters of ego's always limited health v pathology hour by hour, day by day, decade by decade, life by life contests, comparisons, contrasts, each and all co-arising. Yet, like Yangish competitive power over others and Yin's gooier cooperative internalized power with others, these opposing bilaterals are also dynamically recycling appositional revolutions within and without climates and subclimates of intricately networking change, searching for optimal, not maximal extreme fundamentalist, but optimally sustainable healthy tensegrity, synergy, therapy, softly contentious contentment, peace through responsible and mutually-held flexibility, in-between competition and cooperation and victimization, in-between LeftBrain deductions and RightBrain inductions, in-between monocultural ecopolitical maximization of human ego-natures and polycultural ecopolitical cooperative minimization of all Earth's Living Natures lies a vastly complex, often feeling chaotic, overwhelming transitioning regenerating middle ground, an in-between Tipping Pointed recycling network of issues and platitudes, a wu-wei spatial place of ego/eco-mind, collective ecoconsciousness and RealTime WinLeft/WinRight flexibly enlightening enriching endeepening thermodynamic balance. In this in-between shadow place of becoming healthier balancing identities, monocultures begin to look like what remains of former polycultures, artifacts of cherished Elders, and what could continue to become part of a new wealthier denser ecologically balancing multiculturally thriving future. What looks like monopolistic alien powers over little benign-ego me, begin to look like what remains from our former shared polypathic ecotherapeutic identity hoping toward future powers with each other person and species, imagination's deja vu of a felt monopolistic forever compost nurturing perfectly and deepdarkly enriching Black Holed wombs of embryonic time's regenerative evolutionary integrative reweaving promise, never beginning and ever ending timeless ecoconsciousness. Truth with beauty natures of enlightening climates do indeed continuously co-arise change, invite flexibility of WinWin responses, but these are changes that have traditionally favored health and disfavored pathology. To continue following your optimal light is to become pilgrims of inclusive global health, inside as outside, gradually expanding Golden Rule awareness to include intent and praxis and real world cooperative/competing with-not-against ecotherapeutically ecoconscious ecological ecosystems ecopolitically richer and denser yet lighter and happier outcomes that continue optimizing, by avoiding extremes of fundamentalist maximizing Anthro-egos and radical minimizing of Earth's cooperative potential without us. All roads lead to a more globally enlightening Home, but we optimally choose which directions to walk which to avoid and when it's time to pick up and slow down our pace, to make increasingly flexible adjustments to each new now, each subclimate of regenerate opportunities with degenerate risks and loss, calmly anxious to leave no one no truth no paradigm no culture no history no beautiful potential future behind, uncared for and with, neglected. What Mentors of/for Peace optimally search to uncover is a peace that works best for protecting and nurturing and feeding all us CoMentors, CoRedeemers, Occupyers, Advocates, Students, Listeners, Lovers. By way of contrast, what Officers of The Law, removed from Grace-Context, hope to maximize, as if diastatic optimization of control and order could become healthy somehow, is a Law that works best for protecting unfree Officious Officers. Dissonance and pain and victims are symptoms of ecopolitical story-problems, issues from a source looking for a resolution, stressed, and sending out messages to look for optimal, not static-maximal, resolutions of inclusive multiculturing balance; richer, denser ecopolitically healthy wealthy life, light, paths toward our mutually subsidiary enlightenment, dialogical-patterned discernments of co-active co-present peace.
