This piece borrows from, including a paraphrase of, Lao-Tse's "Beyond Honor and Disgrace", p. 257, Modern Library, 1948, Lin Yutang, ed.

The original Rumi quote (p. 106, Maryam Mafi, trans., Rumi Day by Day, 2014.

I dance with the dreams of FatherSun;
I dream to the dance of EarthMothers.

Spiritual practice shapes natural rites and flow of day,
Creative listening intent shapes liturgical flow and function of night,
invested with Elders emerging 
from DNA's RNA EarthTribal Codex Memory fields,
streams,
seasons,
and atmospheric sea of swimming time.

Dreaming death without sting,
seeing creative system structures and forms
within and without
evolving and revolving.
Grasping recreating function,
reconnecting yet longing to hear recreating frequencies,
fearing dissonant force,
competitive Win-Lose shallow economic dis-ecologies,
hoping and faithing and loving ReGenesis each new day of opportunity
and risk,
co-arising karmic cause-effectiveness,
mentoring cooperative co-regeneration,
from when we each emerged
back to densely nurtured Beloved Community 
organic seeds of time's eternal bi-directional unfolding
of appositively co-relational informating space.

ReGenesis does not speak before acting;
Genes only speak without knowing discontinuous time.
Fill up Solar System's silent apertures,
Close Grandmother Moon's open systemic doors,
Dull Her smooth-structured double-boundaries
and limned edges,
Untie Her double-knotted tangles of power,
Soften Her polyculturally bleaching light,
Decompose, submerge Her dissonantly contentious periods of turmoil,
--This is compassionate Unitarian Universal Indigenous Intelligence.

Then love and hatred cannot change regenerative dancers and dreamers.
Profit and loss cannot overwhelm Ecological Cooperative Economics.
Honor and disgrace cannot change ReGenetic Time's pace.
Therefore ReGenesis Age and Time is the eternally sustained 
powerfully self-optimizing regenerator of both worlds,
Positively Polynomial Physical Universe,
and Not-Not Polynomial Metaphysically EcoSystemic Resilient Universe.

Paraphrasing Rumi,
Casting off disdain for affective degeneration 
and cognitive dissonance
we see that purgation is not inevitably the end
but only wu-wei camouflage
struggling creolization
within a dense organic 
decomposing 
re-enculturing gut
eternal diurnal time of Future mutually grateful
to at long last belovedly embrace our past potential integrity of grace
as human race's well-worn synergetic enculturation,
spiraling back through revolutions of Yang/Yin balancing
religious time as nutritional 
spiritual development space.
