I sometimes wonder what it means that Grace, Mercy, Faith, and Hope are always girl names and never boy names.  Perhaps for the same reason, I am wondering why all this Taoist resonance between Animus and Anima, Yang and Yin co-relationship feels like a resolving deep celebration of androgenous trans generosity, a sacred home place where Donald might have been named Mercy, Ronald might have been Hope, George and George W might also be Grace, and Richard might have found Faith.

Grace is not the rather loose reputed love of choice after natural laws of Earth's justice have been primally satisfied. Nor is Mercy, her sister, a gratuitous co-passionate remainder, icing on the after thought of justice cake, after having had Her revengeful way for sins of our enslaving Fathers. Rather, Earth's nature-spirit laws for protecting nutritional rights and equity are the evolving justice of last resort when intrinsic co-empathic trusting grace has been rejected too often already within some connecting string of incarnation, some sacred identity we might and could love as organically transcendent life itself. The primary health role of nature's nutritional law, protection against ecocidal toxins, security from anthroprivileged injustice, absence of co-empathic therapeutic trust as presence of community co-immunity, is to support effective deep meaningful anticipation, and not over-reactive wide purposeless anxiety, toward full development of richly resonant transgenerational relationships, political and economic musecology. As a materialistic, yet healthy-social, song and dance species, we have spent far too much energy on advocating the triumph of just political relations, rather than justly cooperative and inclusive economic co-ownership, rooted in co-empathic gratitude through listening to and with suffering oppressed fractured species, stories speaking to our own compassionate voices within, advocating for future generations of EarthTribe peace. When our relationship with EarthTribe's Commons is more about protection from material harm than loving sustained healthy relationships rooted in natural-physical organically inter-religioning co-infested gratitude for compassion and outraged attitude against Othering dispassion, then we are significantly inside and outside the comfort range of thermodynamic balance, co-arising trust, where Grace deteriorates into BadKarma and restores into GoodKarma as decomposition informs gratitude's re-incarnate potential Grace's wealthy step-sister room for Mercy's further transgenerational trans generational transgene rational healthy growth.
