Earth's Healing Medicines

"I fear that a world made of gifts cannot coexist with a world made of commodities." Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass, p. 374 We fear that Earth made as gift cannot coexist with a planet infested by mere self-marketing of the fittest. I fear Earth made of organic containers of deep ecological memory as sacred gifts cannot coexist with a commodified planetary economy made of and from and for capitalism's Win/Lose ego-dissonant pathologies, no longer healthy wealth of cooperatively owning multiculturing creolizing ecocentric Golden Rules and Sacred Ecological Ratios and Logos-Mythos Elixirs of harmonic cooperative spacetime, (0)-sum ecopolitical balance. "Here is the arrow that weakens the monster of overconsumption, a medicine that heals the sickness: its name is plenty." Kimmerer, p. 376 Here is our deep ecological refilling of full-organic historic containers that weakens the racist and sexist patriarchal white males preferred monster of over-indulged capitalistic hoarding and hypocritical greed competing against Earth's embryonic dualdark mothers, a cooperative medicine that heals our hypocrisy of whiteness well-washed only purely relapsed absence of full-historic internal/external polyphonic memory: our container capacity is polypathic bicameral WinWin plenty.

We all have immigrant status histories if only from Mother's embryonic multicultured historic WinWin womb.
