Better Home Designs
Dr. Owl addressed her Community Developer pupils
of "Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) Standards
for Home and Garden Design";
which seemed rather heavy for this prime time of night.
Resilient growth and development,
whether humanly designed or not,
is the "climax" or optimal CQI mission of PermaCulture Design (PCD).
Cooperative community development
and PCD share a compassion-oriented systems paradigm
an arena for positive landscape improvement
and/or climate health intervention.
Home and community and life development
also share with PCD
positive outcome indicators
which, when they actually show up,
integrate a community of sustainable well-being.
These four primary balancing functions of PCD:
consuming and producing
decomposition and regeneration
are also true of spiritual
and natural community development.
Howsomeversomuch,
economic development uses producer and consumer language
for describing multisectoral transactions.
Meanwhilecorrelativelycoincidental,
community organizers and policy analysts
speak,
and too occasionally sing
and dance,
multiculturally regenerative values,
on their more wealthy days,
and of decomposing
fuel
flow
function
and frequency streams of social systems and networks,
and, more recently,
double-binary information systems [+1/-(-0)]
as well,
equitably swell.
A largely untapped strength of PCD
is its active faith that weeds
and other negative environmental disvalues,
like barbed-wire fences that you can't see at night
and never know when you might fly into them,
and then, that's that,
other unplanned dissonant outcomes,
mysteriously emerge as our most vitally underused
and dispossessed
resources,
even if only as teachers
of traumatic messes to avoid in the future.
For example,
Dr. Eisler describes a darkly dominant macroeconomy
as too competitive and divisive,
rooted in evolutionary cultural assumptions
that we live in a Win-Lose
LeftBrain verbally dominant world,
and God did not create any Losers.
If this might accurately describe our Business As Usual
day
and life
and economy
and thinking about progress
and employment
and my messy beleaguered home life,
and all those struggles just to be heard,
and the nightmares pushing out night fights
or flights,
then we should call on a permacultural
community mediator
A permaculturist might remember
failing economies therapeutically respond
to more indigenously interdependent financial
and employment
and residential
and integral
systems,
rooted in PCD's standard "sit-spot" position,
that we steadfastly continue to live Basic CoPassion Attendance
within our Win-Win synergetic opportunity
for further evolution creolizing together,
is not Us v Them colonizing apart.
Frustrated Business As Usual developers
are learning to step into our mutually subsidiary yuck,
with the rest of us
and wealthy planet Earth
and this universe of co-binary information,
reweaving a new cooperative eco-normics
as eco-logical Win-Win climaxing destiny
of PermaCulturing Time
through smooth flight PolyCulturing Space,
place,
race toward grace.
My admittedly professorial take
on better homes and author-izing healthy gardens:
divest of overly-dominant competing
win/lose logistics
by investing locally in pay-it-forward co-operative
win/win strategics
Because dancing minds liberate singing
winging bodies while flying
dancing bodies conserve singing minds.
