Growing Healthy Systems

In nature,
as in spiritual development,
faith systems and trust systems
that remain immature
while yet growing rapidly,
in a cultural and environmental situation of surplus "free" energy,
nutritional resources,
tend to dominate through competitive relationships,
WinLose monopolistic gamesmanship.

More mature and wiser natural-spiritual ecosystems,
in which there is little "free" surplus energy
show a high degree of mutualistic
symbiotic
ecopolitical relationship.

Morbidly immature and weaker natural-spiritual systems,
not finding gratitude for sufficiency of Gaia's "free" healthy wealth resources
show a high degree of rabid
terrorizing
adolescent
violent

Either/Or
Win/Lose oppositional monocultural greed disorder,
yangLeft dominant so yinRight recessive,
ecopolitical mistrust
and absence of healthy cooperative nature-spirit relationships,
dipolar-appositional 
and co-arising,
like grace and gratitude,
light and photosynthesis.

In nature,
as in spiritual development,
not stuck in competitive immature
while yet growing slowly,
virally,
in a situation of sufficient 0-sum energy balance,
we uncover a high degree of mutual
nutritionally symbiotic
ecopolitically cooperative relationship.
