Goldfish Wetdreams

So here's my big insight.
My two cents worth,
which will remain worth only a penny
unless it somehow aligns with your penny
for thoughts and shared feelings.

What if we put our human nature genie 
back in Earth's home-nature bottle?

OK, already I hear Fundamentalists about the great transcendent Sacred Divide
between humanity and monkeys and trees,
and even more so between human biosystems
and any generic ecosystem,
like a river,
or four growing seasons
in a regeneratively nutritious healthy year.

But, if you could just hang in there for a minute
or two
and let yourself wildly imagine theoretical implications
of looking at all of creation as one integral Creating Nature;
as a Thought Experiment, maybe?

Just pretend you're following along in Einstein's brilliant kind of heuristic exercise.
Enjoy your ride a bit more.
We'll get back to the Cross and the Ballistic Terrorist Trauma later.

Maybe a lot later.

So we have one united, more or less, nature
and now we have two words sharing a prefix,
rooted in the concept of "home" or "household",
economics,
the study of human value transactions, expansions,
recessions,
stale-mates,
monopoly players,
competitive rabidity and cooperative gift-nutrition-forward rhythms
and seasonal seed investment patterns.

Then we have this newer word, ecology,
for the study of nutritional through pathological relationships,
transactions,
weedish monocultural colonization,
co-empathic trusts 
and panentheistic mistrusts and mutually repugnant distrusts
within Nature's ecosystemic organic health lives
and deaths of prehistoric organic interdependence.

Can you see where holistically spirited mindbodies might go with this?

In that no one seems quite clear about just what economic science does
very well, 
that could not also apply to non-linear ecological systems 
more generically recycling and spiraling,
maybe if human acquisitive nature is just...you know, 
a slightly LeftBrain demented portion 
of Earth's thriving win/win econature,
then we might regain an important clue
about our "home team" ecological interdependence
and anthropocentrically pathological 
win/lose disvalue exchange patterns
and lose/lose ecocidal dysrhythmia.

All this, by simply remembering that well-rooted ecosystems
gave evolutionary-historical-cultural progenitive birth
to well-capitalized neurosystems,
as economically inspired SunLight 
gave birth to ecologically transpiring 
win/win love life EarthTribe Power. 

So ecosystemic healthy democratic development
is also EarthPeace wealthy 
regenerative anthro-development

Not so much LeftBrain verbally dominant
ego-suboptimizing degenerative 
monoculturing
monopolistically narcissistic under-development,
sweeping across polyculturation's healthcare history 
of redundant multiculturing inter-reweaving relationships
thriving side-by-side inter-religious
win-by-win species specialist interdependence.

And, now we can all just learn to cooperatively get along
and live happily
and healthily ever after.

Good.
I feel better.
My job here is done.
I can rest in ecosystemic peace 
and restorative EarthTribal justice.

Honey,
turn off the cellphone
and fire up the hibachi.
Let's grill sweet corn and vegeburgers.

And, by the way,
you remember what Bill Maher said about THC
"What? They're afraid we'll be smarter than we really are?"

Well,
I wonder if that's similar to why a healthcare economist 
might resist thinking
of AnthroIdentity as a non-ecological wanna-be monopolist,
only studying the elephant's capital-mind-head investments,
as opposed to a full mindbody analysis,
because if eco-normists were expected to refine 
con-scientious win/win conjectures
to ecological-evolutionary wealth optimization models,
then we might be smarter about forecasting future cooperative values
of resiliently holistic EarthJustice Powers
more successfully than your average witchdoctor.

I'm frankly not sure what these eco-normic
and eco-logical insights have to do with each other,
but it seemed to make sense to my goldfish,
who just upped and died
with a smile on her face,
so we grilled that golden ruled ecosystem too.

I'm sure that's what she would have wanted,
but primarily because,
had our situations been reversed,
that would have been my highest and best
economically enlightened LeftBrain
and ecologically empowering RightBrain
thoughtfully expiring dream as well.
