Poem
I've noticed since early years on the family farm with large matriarchally planted and harvested gardens, that food, for moms, is a natural, and yet also spiritual, communion relationship. Nutrition evolves from and for communal relatives of which we are ourselves made and nurtured into healthy interdependent maturity. By remarkably disappointing contrast, food, for the agribusiness farmer, is a commodity, owned, to be used, sold for cash profit. Food, on this patriarchal side of the ball and chain, is a product with market valued nutritional properties. On the matriarchal side, a cooperative relationship born of Mother Earth, mutually nurturing characteristics, functions primally interdependent within a (0)Sum Commons heart of our multiculturally shared food chain. And, so it also seems a Left and Right Brain nutritional inter-relationship prevails between matriarchal cooperative habitats, nests, hives, homes, neighborhoods, villages, polyculturally incarnating within patriarchal competing properties with commodified values and disvalues on the real estate buy low and sell high market, as often as possible, to accumulate as much wealth as possible, in defense of starving drought-induced wilting future commodities. For a multigenerational family farmer, selling one's own nutrition-invested history could only be a once in a defeated lifetime event; invested too richly beyond competitive commodity market values for realtime spacetime polyculturing property even with unusually dense inter-nutritional properties. Buy low and sell high for agri/bio-business is more of an annual plant and birth and harvest and butcher process in the commodities market, while farmhouse with garden real estate values and disvalues are, well... you gotta live somewhere, right? Why not where you work, and have plenty of room for the little wife's gardens? Vegetable and flower, feeding the kids and nourishing the colorful fragrant neighborhood, while dad competes with distant grey-scale agribusiness buyers and seed sellers bar charting and coding how best to buy low and sell RealTime Highs. My own dad didn't actually do very well with that monopoly game. While mom's cooperative gardens flourished, regardless of which commodities were up in spring and predictably down again at harvest and preserving time. Joanna Macy refers to matriarchal ecofeminist gardeners, nutritional economists, as "the greening of the self," reconnecting our LeftBrain dominant egocentered Yang with our Sacred EarthNurturing RightBrain, more recessively eco-logical Yintegrity, eco-systemic nature-spirit co-empathic gardeners, feeding well-nurtured kids and neighborhoods greening multiculturing communities and polyculturing bioregions and Blue-Green States on PlanetEarth, While boring Business As Usual commodity markets continue wondering why it's always those damned irrepressible cooperative democracies, with their interdependent WinWin planting investments and harvesting re-investment polypathic properties that continue riding out angry RedBare Markets and FearMongering Political States buying the cheapest fighting mad politicians yet wondering why these provide such poor nutritional returns when it comes time to harvest EarthRights Peace and Justice. Our LeftBrain ego-personal is also our RightBrain eco-political communal, just as LeftBrain Yang loves nature so also RightBrain Yin sacralizes healing nurture, just as LeftBrain's competitive political empowerment could also become RightBrain's cooperative ecological health relationships, Sacred Economics, just as LeftBrain's healthy patriarchy is also RightBrain's wealthiest matriarchy, on back to original ego-personal constitutions born of matriarchal interior wombs and exterior family gardens. Concave yin-mindtime bilaterally nurturing Convex Yang BodySpace.
