Hijacked Identity

I awake again with this left-brain thought that an economic conservative about balancing his ever expanding budget looks at my mountainside forest of firs as a green commodity for potential exploitation. Yet when this same conservative resides in this same fir forest, now threatened by a large lumbering corporation, he sees these same trees, like himself, as prey in a win/lose zero-sum value-retention game. Then I have this right brain passion that an ego/eco-logically harmonic nondualist, all about right responsible relationships, feels and acts with compassion toward these same trees in this cooperative win/win forest internally governed by WiseElder firs, regenerative, from whom we learn to nutritionally resiliently, naturally, spiritually climax and recommence together, after loss, in secular/sacred solidarity of co-passioning seeds structured to anticipate four-seasoned wealth givers and receivers of Earth's forested pro-active health care, robustly optimizing self/other value maintenance. These reviewed landscapes are not mutually exclusive. Yet only the last is cooperatively left and right nondualistically inclusive, like ethical truth with aesthetic beauty, compassion spiritually foresting and reforesting natural integrity.
