This second section is inspired by Lin Yutang's translation of Laotse's "The Character of Tao", p. 63, in The Wisdom of Laotse, Modern Library, 1948; in which I take the liberty of interpreting "Tao" as progenitive binomial Time, incarnating as co-binary in/ex-formation, memory-reincarnating bilateral not-not polynomial exformation.

Each day an extension of my time
so each morning a risk and opportunity
to avoid greedy egocentrism
to step into harmonious eco-centered consciousness.

Each still-wombed entity extends Mother's incarnating time
so each maternal risk and opportunity,
each free will act of paternity,
aborts competitive egocentrism
by extending bipartisan consciousness,
wisdom's good faith fertility 
for our co-operating future.

Each life extends time's enculturing memory
of secularizing risks 
and sacred opportunities
avoiding evolution's monopolistic dead ends
by embracing revolution's polyculturing awareness.

Each moment incarnates maternity's wombed memory
of monoculturing risk and polypathic opportunity
to avoid deductive domination's severance
by mutually embracing 
multi-paradigmatic synergy.

Time is a unitarian womb
and its omnipotence is universal!
Fathomlessly ubiquitous.
Like the double-binding revolutionary progenitor of all things.
Its smooth-structured boundaries resonating
prime relationship not-not tangles informing,
untying,
Its Earth tempered balance of enlightenment,
Its turmoil decomposing dissonant understories

Yet 
like dark deep ecological flow 
it sustains Earth's green/blue Commons.

I do not know whose holonic embryo 
EarthTime fractally unfolds,
a 4-dimensional echo 
of seasonal reincarnation
within bicameral communion.
