Buying the Farm

Have you chosen what you will become, my son, or will you become something yet unchosen? Become? How will you keep yourself gainfully occupied, dare I speak of vocation? Oh yes, I will be absent. Absent from…? From you. Absent from you. My wisest son, thank you for your perfect gift of omission, and yet your future commissions provoke my valiant interest now. You are more curious than absence would allow. And you less curious than vocations would avow. Not true. You rush to judge rashly evidence only future time could carry. I would become absent from inside voices, those demanding I use mine, closing minds to outside voices ignoring body needs for outdoor vocal crimes of raucous laughter, shouting at echoing self-greetings to outside experts too busy writing their competitions to read my mutually polypathic cooperations. Would it kill you, wisest son, instead of flaunting absence from inside voices to market sacred presence speaking outside voices? It might, yet here lies opportunity for graceful great transitions. Ah yes, transitions toward whom doing what and why, these are my tired questions. So what are these golden opportunities with minimal risk of becoming fleeced, naked with loss, intimately vulnerable to cold dark death? I could not know of transition without risk of loss yet comprehend this time discerning how to find our co-opportunities as EarthTribe MultiCulture Revolutionaries (0)-Interest Bodhisattva Economic PlaceHolders Beloved Community Occupiers Earth CoOperative ReGenerators. Each new morning brings great transition opportunity, alternatively and coincidentally firing fueled anger and fear or floating love and contentment, but usual busyness a hybrid of Yang+ and dualdark yinyin’s transparentcy wu wei interior mindbody Right Elder integrity-elational nondual co-arising dipolar LeftRight correlational AnthroCentric CoPresent Holonic Empathy— DNA/RNA root fractal-familiar ecosystemic, seasonal issues and regenerative tissues. Where is your risk of loss within this nondual bicameral landscape? Loss comes through my over-active AnthroEgo, dominating elitism of LeftBrain addictions to commodification without concomitant nutrient value, to deduction without bilateral inductive trusting balance, averse to reducing competitive edge without cooperative expansion of collateral health, hypnotized by policies and procedures devoid of nutritious v. toxic beliefs, severing the value of mindful communication from healthy v. pathological political and economic experience of relationship investments within RealTime. Your healthy future is your daily great transitional choice, your Ego AND EarthTribe optimizing healthy future emerges a more cooperative plan, like uracil with cytosine. What if I choose to play games for a few decades? Commit to cooperative team building games and play with resource ownership variables as influenced by poli-ecological WinWin Gaming assumptions. Find ways to heal air and water and soil. Explore ways to rehydrate Earth and slow down our AnthroLeft dominant acceleration. Invest in healthy slow dense polycultural growth for stronger therapeutic polypathic outcomes. Sounds more like your organic farm-therapy community dream. I suppose that could be one way to play WinWin. But, not mine.
