Healthy Seeds--Wealthy Leaves

Mindbodies unfold from embryonic seed toward full living-loving sense-synthesizing leaf production, full YangPower during warm light-drenched days of summer, Earth’s rotation fuelling healthy growth, yet weedy monopolizing tendencies as well. Seed unfolding is our first longing half, maturing toward healthy EarthTribe speciation, in fullest life glory. Our second half returns fading leaf powers to regenerate next season’s healthy yin-seeds for EarthTribe’s full forest embryonic memories, folding out from winter through summer, then refolding summer back toward yin-hibernating winter of each perennial ringed life. Folding in from political and economic production leaves through symbiotic breath of maturity, searching metaphysically exhaling iconic paths, now imprinted with Earth’s nurturing light air, wet soil, inhaling and exhaling revolutionary fires of transubstantiation, giving way to new fetal forests, understories of regenerate future recreations. This first half, unfolding, needs nothing yet wants every source of digestible nutrition. Then second half, productive leaves giving way toward next generation’s seeds, wants nothing yet mysteriously needs this entire forest to evolve belonging together; mutual nurturance full-powered. Each life’s premillennial unfolding seed consumes energy toward maturing fullness as postmillennial aging refolds balancing consumer-producer dancers leafing leaping fertile enrichment, co-messiah bodhisattvas, Earth’s ecosystemic embryonic regenerators. Basic Attendance shadows our co-present humane capacities to know and love how seeds and leaves are both same and different each moment of each unfolding/folding love, synergetic political events, relational transactions, networks, nutrition-rooted economic trees transforming yin seed into yang leaf and back again, forest, ecosystem within as without iconic Earth.
