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.
