Earth Activists

A pro-active journalist is like a research-committed teacher teaching and listening to cooperative research designs and presentations. The opposite of the journalist's deconstruction of events is reconstruction through predictive narrative. Just as the opposite of permaculture's green activist regeneration is pathological degeneration emerging from past too-monoculturing memory Back toward too much red-meat butchering and ballistic slaughter swimming in pathogens about health-resilient DNA-RNA solidarity genes for future regenerative reconstructions. Recently the local writer of Permaculture Opera invited me to his and her place, I'm still not sure s/he has chosen Either/Or gender, for a co-author interview. But I need to arrive just before dawn and not drive in or even toward EarthSoul's healthy address, if at all possible. So, I'm riding my bike and arrive just as pre-dawn light could reveal river homefront terrain. There s/he is atop a barren maple tree, facing East across a valley, rocking back and forth from north to south and back again... S/he calls "Good Morning!" as if this emerging light has already made Earth's best day invitation convocation to and for those less grumpy and feeling old-knees and hips frumpy. S/he welcomes me up and so I go with all my Senior Citizen climbing years behind me to rest just below Earth's swaggering Operatic sway. Before I can ask what s/he is doing S/he tells me This is Earth's centering sit spot from which s/he greets our vibrant Sun when clouds do not grey stand in dark swaying way. Here s/he waves back as Earth's trees thank FatherSun for waving forth paid-forward toward this WuWei Day West for Ego Win and East of EcoRooting Yin discerning through and after dualdark night. Like a Permaculture Opera opening each morning, each life, this ego/eco centric Western swaying dusk-fading glory. My Opera piece will begin There's no such health-listening thing as a non-teachable moment. A local pro-active journalist sways like a research-committed teacher teaching cooperative research design through re-presentational invitations...
