New 2020 Resolutions

I will not substitute:

Wealthy ends
for healthy means,

Christmas climaxes
for everyday robust Advent,

Yanger
for Yintegrity,

Progress
for creative process,

Visual resilience
for audible resonance,

Objective resolution
for subjectively felt inclusion,

EgoFulfilling analogy
for EcoHealing metaphor,

Unchanging affluent paradigms
for effluent polyphonic polypaths,

Atomic wholes
for wave-linear co-relationships,

Nomial being
for bilateral becoming,

Well-rhymed and metered lyrics
for rapturous musical climax,

Performance
for full mindbody participation,

Winning personal economic growth
for losing integral ecological resilience,

Winning short-term national economic growth
for losing long-term global ecological health,

Retributive judgment and sentencing
for restorative peace,

Red madness
for Green gladness,

Survival
for thrival,

Degenerating life
for regenerative love,

Conservative judgment
for radical invitation,

Brilliant answers
for further acute questions,

Omnipotent principles
for geo-hemispheric balancing experience,

LeftBrain deductions, reductions
for RightBrain inductions, intersectional seductions,

Win/Lose capitalistic games
for win/win cooperative innings,

God the Holy Father
for Holonic Matriarchal Spirit,

Transcendent autonomous theory
for immanent interdependent appreciation,

Theology 
for NonViolent Communion Ecology,

EgoNarcissistic MonoTheism
for EcoLogical MetaCultural Gratitude,

Hubris of manifest destiny
for opaque Integrity,

PolyCultural completion
for multicultural InterMission,

Wealthy, competitive economic ends
for healthy, empowering political means,

Ever externally after
for internally Happy,

Omega Points
for Alpha CoPassions

Endings
for unfinishable Beginnings...
