Nudging Recreation Along

What are fair and effective nudges for too much freedom of wounding weaponed speech? Maybe equal freedom to listen nutritionally and not speak toxically? What's a fair response to competitive over-investment in fear-mongering-- Threats to hold your breath 'til everyone sees uniformly red? What's fair, right and left, for government freedom to WinUs by LosingThem, by punishing Them and not Us for poisonous messes made together? What's a fair nudge to our collective enculturing WeSelf for losing both Us and Them through unnecessarily aggressive agendas, walls, armaments, apartheid, apart-ness cultural divides? Replacing social sanctuaries with sadistic incarcerations, Substituting shrinking wellness with swelling commodification. Polypaths co-acclimate tracks back through WiseElder co-passionate forests following our rich neural well-bred histories retold through Her ReCreation WombStories. Music poetry dance, all the Beauty and Wisdom, Mythic and Logos DNA Muses therapeutically nudge us toward we-healthing cooperativity, ego-terminal cases of co-passion tracks, re-telling past eco-journeys co-operating slow, then faster flow Personal and multigenerational relationships not growing by nudging compassion are dying through dispassionate lack of cooperative investment. A significant difference between retirement, leisurely encampment, and modern industrial automated competing life, Business As Aggressively Usual, is: When younger I needed an early morning alarm to nudge me into beginning to meditate. Now, older, I need a resonant chime noon nudge to invite me to end my daily resilience medication, to continue more active PM education, to cultivate non-violent internal and external communication. Internal and external governments best start nudging agreements small and build out from what we are already healthy happy doing, where we're all steady growing, when we are most likely to feel at peace, satisfied with integral me/we co-passion engaged mornings and afternoons, possibly even temporarily enchanting evenings, curious building courageous will to find sufficient investment speed of NowTime celebrating our already existing SabbathDream resilience weaving co-operativity, knitting compassion networks, full-color memory fabric transubstantiating in/ex-formation flowing nutritional effluence, dualdark breathing flow breeding in out harmonious Left Right consciousness listening especially for outdoor sacred liturgical voices best heard through small progressive ears of a healthy child still liberally hopeful of WinWin resonant bicamerality, inside and outside between growing ego-conscious universally multi-logical paradigms and uniting eco-home nutritional awareness, Yang nudging Yin humoring Yang's strong impatience to restore healthy EarthJustice red through green in ultra-nonviolent revolutions for/of co-passion's peace, internal/externally health-experiential co-arising metrics-- yin webs resiliently outlasting without blasting yang walls.
