Poem
Robin Wall Kimmerer, in Braiding Sweetgrass, describes the first three woven rows in process of making an ash basket. The first Yang row of ecological root structure is most impossibly conflicted between extreme tensions up and down. Weaving Yang-dominant is more of a competitive march through miserable times of patriarchal-only history. The second yin row, of ecopolitical consumer ebb and producer flow, is also difficult in the same oppositional reverse tension with Yang way as Yang was first row intransigent, but also because Yin wants to evenly bilaterally divide Tipping Points of weaving in and out splints and threads and strings of regenerating spirals, so timing with spacing adds to the more appositional weaver's second row slow slog through matriarchal nurturing of pregnant right proportion and symmetric time, consuming conception to produce rebirth of consumers of patriarchal-matriarchal Yang-Yin re-conception. The third row is our first Tao wu-wei, in-between Yang with appositional second-tier Yin, now co-arising and co-gravitating tensions balancing extreme bilateral boundaries, Yang with Yin nuanced edge margins of 0-sum growing basket tensions. Now the weaver is free to focus more on wave-linear rhythms of out yin and in toward yang ego 0-core center, like breathing in toward ego, then back out again to economic's Earth-center. This third dipolar co-arising row is when the singing can best begin to join fingers and hands and arms and upper mindbodies dancing to Yang ecological framing and Yin economies of ergodic rhythmic spacing, flow of 0-sum thermodynamic grace. Traditionally, this has been a practice more of matriarchal cooperatives rather than patriarchal competitive marches through military-industrializing hunting expeditions, LeftBrain dominant shouting and ballistically historic contests in spreading violence. If our history, personal, as well as that delivered by mass mediated resources, were more about who could weave and dance and sing our YangYin ecological economic political basket best, that would be more of a good news herstory day and week, and month, and year, and lifetime of YangYin ego-eco centering education for designers and cooperative song and dance skillset development, including our schools, and Sunday Schools, and libraries, and Senior Centers, and Youth Centers, and Community and Family Centers, and family rooms more cooperatively weaving and less competitively texting and twittering on ego-centered cells yet getting slowly smarter phones, watching Red Yang and GreenBlue Yin reweave polypathic baskets of revolving spiral EarthJustice, while singing and dancing polyphonic SpaceTime patterns.
