Ancient Exhaustion

Asking why our partisan democratic experiment appears to be failing feels like asking why our global climate appears to be failing feels like asking why old age appears to be a failing. Political minds, natural bodies, spiritually cooperative individuals reflecting upon lose/lose thought and felt tragic and absurdly nihilistic outcomes where we originally anticipated growing together toward win/win Paradise Found in what is personal and political and economic re-investment in healthy and not pathology choices Earth and Her extending families center toward more health to also win wealth of yin-flow potentiating powers slowing down to process Business As Usual Failure, Winning capital-monopolized shadow-wealth to win unhealth of evermore isolating Yang-strength to overpower where matriarch/child love re-memories could only empower with hugs and songs and re-creation stories Asking why our partisan democratic win/win experiment in win/lose competitions appears to be lose/lose trending Failing feels like asking why our global climate appears to be pathological Failing feels like asking why mythically pre-historic cooperatively owned communal-matriarchal ages appear to be a tribal failing.
