On Naming Plants and Animals

A Commentary on "A Note on the [Patriarchal-Colonizing] Treatment of Plant Names" by Robin Wall Kimmerer, p. 385 BRAIDING SWEETGRASS: INDIGENOUS WISDOM, SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE, AND THE [SACRED] TEACHINGS OF PLANTS I too often accept with nary a LeftBrain dominant thought that our verbalized labels for individual EgoPersons are RoyallyCAPITALIZED. To write "Marvin Appletree" would be to strip my tree of His/Her sacred status as an EarthTribe indigenous child of MotherEartha Just-us another tree of unvoiced organic life Long before my own anthrosupremacist sense of owning Real Estate and all the Othered squatters breathing anonymously on It. It would be LeftBrain laughable to write "Mr. or Ms. Mosquito" if this were in reference to an anonymously alien flying insect, any non-individuated transexual yet potentially annoying predative Other. LeftBrain Capitalization conveys a supremely Either/Or divisive distinction, difference, privileged dissociation The anthrosupremacist position of humans predatively communicating without predicatively engaging our sacred Grand Canyon spaces inside our own deep listening embodied Creations Our own proprietary barren Estates esteemed private and corporate ownership within a Patriarchal hierarchy of capsized CAPITALIZED Beings. Economists have widely adopted the win/lose Capitalism convention of not sufficiently capitalizing investing in common sacred values of MotherTree-governed organic plants and wild sexsensory animals unless they are included in a HumanNature narrative for an official neurosystemic space place LeftBrain labeled Holy Spirit Natured Sanctuary. Thus, the first blossoms of my favorite RightBrain cooperative gift: Spring bursting flowers forth in sacred organic forests Are LeftBrain written as bloodroot and the pink star of a California Yosemite National Park tiger lily. This seemingly natural non-spiritual LeftBrain normative verbal rulemaking in either AnthroDivine/OrAlienOther labeling expresses deeply held competitive win/lose assumptions about HumanNature monopolized monotheistic dualistic exceptionalism That LeftBrain dominant anthro-privileged speakers and writers are more sacredly valued neuro-sexsensually better and monotheistically superior to other earthtribe panentheistic wholy spirited/nature brain/body crown/root chakra species Defensively reacting as our unvoiced Othered also-ran un-invested backdrop, Mere organic edible or not delectable with only the trusted Truth and Beauty we so royally assign LeftBrain dominantly above On our magnanimous best sacrosanct healthy days and benign wealthy nights to revere our Sacred Elders.
