Aint No Valley Deep Enuf

What my kids too often fail to notice, and what I am guilty of weighing too lightly, to avoid timely discernment, are contrasts in density of opportunity and toxicity of risks hidden within our values and disvalues themselves. Disvalues shallowly accepted for short-term Win-Lose strengths of economic and political leverage, to eventually overpower unwanted and mistrusted gifts of an overly-secularizing materialistically colonizing disuniting society; A national culture degeneratively disanimated, unmotivated toward healthy-wealth of restorative opportunities. Values toward deep ecologically flowing sacred valleys with dense and complex co-arising co-investments in compassion toward coherence, more inclusively, intimately, experientially powerful harmonic resonant absorbing than shallow dissonance, perhaps because more multiculturally strong-rooted in Orthodox MotherEarth Valleys of organically animated nutrition. Nutritional density of Valley values emerge historically rich and deepest, most effective, nutritional, nurturing; Contrasted and defined by toxically shallow outcomes, and cancerously mountainous disvalues, Against humbling aggressions and Lose-Lose punishing over-powering models sold by capital-invested marketers for Business As Colonizing Usual, advocating ever freer markets but most free for competitive hoarders, engorged mountains of dominant inheritance. Colonizers false promising NonElite YinValleys, immigrants and aliens and less apparently animated and mattered nature-spirits, lose least by accepting domestic economic commodification. So Elite Yangs continue to LeftBrain dominate with ecopolitically shallow, inferior qualities of monocultural EmpireBuilding, fundamentalism of Kingdoms too NotHeavenly disinvested from Earth, totalitarianism. Too mountainously captivated with retributive fascism waiting in poverished place of gospel Advent seasons in RightWing fantasies, too shallow self-righteousness for deep valley nutritional spiritual values to re-establish nourishment and restore ego/eco-therapeutic roots. "The [deep] valley spirit never dies It is the woman, primal Mother." LaoTsu So too, the strong mountain nature only AdolescentEgo fades away, Win-Win childhood innocent balance gives way toward Win-Lose adolescence fading on back toward Win-Win deep valleys of matriarchal maturity. Mountain nature is the AtMan, primal FatherTime of Yang/Yin CoRestorative Creationism, ego/eco-therapy. Therapy appropriately applied within all our most cooperatively trusted economic and political and extending family environments: Natural Valley spirits within cooperatively co-nurturing systems, Religious colonizing for Spiritual creolizing faiths, Great Transitional polyculturing loves and wondrous sacred polyphonic hopes, rooted in deepest valleys of polypathic positive WinWin bilateral-bicameral faiths. What my kids too often fail to notice, and what I am guilty of weighing too lightly, are contrasts in wiser density of opportunity and irrational toxicity of risks hidden within our deep valley values and mountainous disvalues within ourselves as without.
