Free Love

Do you remember stories about the incensed 60s? The smoke-filled Beatles, and acrid flowering Hippies, and Aquarian Age of Free Love. It fizzled out. It wasn't such a Great Transition as we had hoped. Exhausted by Foreign and Civil Rights v Wrongs losses by the later 70s, further exterminated by AIDS as God's holy holocaust retribution against FreeLove during the 80s, and on toward this Climate Restoration Challenge to learn rules and disciplines of consciousness, laws of order for cooperative peace polyculturing Original Constitutional Intent. Free Love remained for sale or rent usually to the highest bidder. I was disappointed about this fizzle, although more of a journalist, witness of history, than an active Occupier of compelling CoOperative HerStory in my Golden Era youth. My youth researching and writing and dreaming about cooperative faith community development, assuming that's what we all most WinWin hoped for. I was, and remain, rooting for more graceful and sacred gratitude outcomes, global love, better, even if not totally bottom-line self-other health optimizing, WinWin good karma for All EarthTribes. I still hope what we learn from this more recent Free Love history, Love is liberating from hate and fear and anger-mongering and violence-marketing, selling Earth's Soul as defended best by investing in retributive just wars and aggressions, ever bigger and mightier Buttons. Love grows vastly liberating of hate, but is never free. Love costs co-investors every cooperatively-owned thing, every inhabited and co-managed nature-spirit place, Love costs every mature wise-loving thought and image and investment of every person. Love costs every WinWin deep learning-loving child. Love co-arises every multicultural liberating advocate of and for Revolutionary WinWin Youth, Love invests in every mature democratic cooperative owned by richly creolizing producers and consumers with Original Constitutional Intent of DNA WinWin Continuous Quality Improvement wealth of health. Love co-arises every WiseElder welfare of greening forests. Love costs ecosystemic WinWin purple Valleys in-between EgoYang ultra-violet Mountains reflected in turgid turquoise Oceans of polynomial identities, co-operating, stretching, dynamically breathing Organic Networks, Love invests through polypathic EarthSoul Seeds, reweaving polyphonic DeepLearning DNA-RNA Cooperatives. Love resonates radiant RainbowTribes singing in FullOctaves of double-bound spacetime co-enlightenment; double-fractal ultra-violet EarthSoul Integrity. Liberating rainbows of love are not free; Not free of WinWin disciplines expecting integrity, but free for gratefully growing timeless synergy of scales and values, long-nurtured light octaves. Love costs everything co-investing co-arising everyplace everytime; reasons for all four ZeroSum Sacred Development Seasons, Winters of impatient LoseLose Advent, Springs of WinWin infancy, Summers of WinWin millennially mountainous maturations, Fall harvests of Left-Right Winging swinging co-integrity, polypathic promise, ParadiseLove, fully-rainbow invested. Love is never free of healthy love. Love without requited love is not love; it is longing for love's return. Love only co-arises co-investing in all WinWin Others.
