Poem
We could invite many ways to slice and dice the prism EcoFeminist. I first ran into this label when spoken by a sexual advocate in the early 70s at the University of Michigan, from the mouth of a transgendering ecofeminist who felt more matriotic about land and people and plants than patriotic about a nation and state whose laws, and the paternalistic parents of those laws, declare s/he had no right to exist, certainly not propogate. No right to love whom s/he loved in her proud and loyal and honorable and grateful ecofeminist way. I can more dimly hear ecofeminist as an ecologist who happens to also be a feminist, but this lacks sufficient resonance and resolution for me. I can hear ecofeminist as feminist who also happens to know about her/his natural environment and yet this planet inspires feelings of fertile interdependence as healthy and would better expire laws of nature devoid of wealthy co-relationship, wherein human nature stands godlike patriarchal and supremely above our agribusinesses of generic commodified nature to declare humane wealth measured only by this quarter's productivity intended to leave all fields and forests and oceans barren before moving on to our next hostile ecopolitical takeover. To me, fully articulating my ecofeminist heart and mind cannot separate this scientist of Earth's biosystems from our fertile-loving nurturance of health, our most abundant echoing and regenerating cross-trained selves. EcoFeminists fade and fail when personal health outcomes are depoliticized from national and international lands and oceans, as well as removed from local and bioregional wealth production, without co-balancing healthy educational consumption. Feminist ecologists abundantly cooperatize, optimize, when personal health ownership reflects our land and water, fire and wind wealth of ecosystemic economic co-investing balance. EcoFeminists are radical cooperativists, singers and dancers and self-entertainers, planters as harvesters, birthers before butcherers, listeners before performers, speakers doers seekers learners and educators, parents and mentors, because this is who we were all born to become to-gathering ecofeminists. Our schools, from preK through post-doctorate, technical conservation through liberal arts and entertainment, real estate through real organic wealth, would each and all do a better job together of nurturing and growing and provisioning and providing ecofeminist leaders if educational curricula were more permaculturally designed with ecofeminist divas in the rooms and in the fields, and on the seas and rivers, and not so over infested with unnatural lawyers who believe our vocations are to settle for Win some secular health by losing some sacred wealth, to teach us why we must not healthy do as we would most wealthily, holistically, cooperatively, sacredly prefer. I want to think and feel as a grateful ecofeminist of grace at school and church and mosque and voting booth for whom health and wealth smell and feel and talk together like Yin reweaving Yang in co-ecofeminist solidarity, deep learning regenerations of (0)Sum WinWin producing YangSpace as also consuming Yin PrismedTime. ------------------------------------------ Neither ecofeminist educators nor prisms could wisely argue about which lens is most correctly primal or (0)-prime best. Healthiest is cooperatively wealthiest with us all, Yang sending as Yin receiving simultaneously WinWin. Which is the Greatest God of All? disputes do not emerge from prisms, rather prisons and schools and bad faith communities and fake news communications of retributive WinLose monopolies devolving toward LoseLose anti-systemic theories and nihilistic hypotheses filling in until our return to restorative mercies and joys conjoining EcoFeminist Gaian Principles and Procedures toward more polyculturing prismatic outcomes of deep and rich and wide nutrition, health optimizing wealth, planting seeds of wisdom as we have always eco-harvested.
