"Nature yields to artifice,
not artifice to nature."
Iain McGilchrist
Winning yields to lost and last identity,
not ego-loss to healthier winnings,
more ecosystemically robust.
LeftWing values for transparent
inclusive
democratic rights
more than royalistic wrongs,
yield to RightWing
nationalistic
white supremacy,
not artifice to integrity
of healthy climax powers.
Integrity yields to dualistic mendacity,
not artifice to InTegriTea,
seasoned by and with Earth
Mothering experience,
memory,
longing,
promise,
passion...
Embracing compassion yields to anthro-hubris snarcyschism,
Win/Win gives out to Lose-society/Lose-individual
divided cynicism,
not Lose/Lose mendacity
found in TegriTerrestrial Tea.
Drinking inTegri Tea
is a wonder spatial
awesomely timeless temporal
way to set aside sufficient Right
over not enough Left time
to communion within
and out our perpetually migrant sensual selves.
When I drink in TegriTea,
I only drink ego's eco-integrity.
I don't need to think
about tomorrow's objectives
but also feel with fellow-migrant in TegriTea subjective
workers yielding to co-players,
mentors yeilding emotive facilitators
of compassioned communication.
I can stop all my alien divestments
while I drink in TegriTea.
When ego stops disembodied abstractions,
I can double-bind eco-attending
in natural/spiritual TegriTea.
There and here
only InTegriTea's vast watering potential.
Here embodied
and Now timelessly temporal
is only we/me
in TegriTea
co-passionate inspiraling
Between me
and Inte-gritty
natural/spiritual
outside/inside connection,
re-connecting soil and soul.
I don't want or need a cell phone
or computer
or even language
to watch and listen in TegriTea's communion.
In RightWing dominant fact,
because I'm not emotionally speaking,
I can wealthier track
within this co-passioning in TegriTea
Ego breathes in,
I am aware inTegriTea's fragrance
is here,
Ego is aware
my RightWing dominated body
smells in TegriTea feeling
and I'm eco-aware
that passion's passing InTegriTea
grows healthiest
in resilient HereEmbodied
Now in TegriTea.
"Drink in TegriTea!"
invites a ZeroSoul Zen command
to bring me back
to our true
and trusted EarthMother wounded womb.
Don't just think about and around
emotionally intelligent communion.
Be Here embodied
Now minded,
climate united in TegriTea.
I am trusting
this vortex time is by climate invitation
and not by paranoid
absence of co-present passion.
I am not yet a spiraling shadow;
I am embodied health
in TegraNation process,
and Earth outside knows
and inside feels
rations and reasons,
loves and passions
This Here/Now
a bilateral vortex in TegriTea's cup,
deep and yet wide
yang and yet yin binomially stretched out
and down,
north
and south,
west
and east,
right
and left out
and in my tea-washed
tea-fueled
tea-nourished
tea-nurtured
in TegriTerrain co-passion,
spatial spiraling Wonder
returning hiccup in timeless Awe.
LeftWing green nature tea
yields reluctantly
to RightWing disembodied
spiritualized fake-zeal,
not RightWing unhealthy secular artifice
to LeftWing sacred health,
liberally sacred loving
liberate ionic
ironic
iconic IntegriTease'
emotionally intelligent Nature
Yields to artifice,
not cognitive artifice
to sacramental Nature.
