Organic Gratitude

Eastern stars light our responsibility to ease ridiculously democratic suffering of Other. Western horizons speak not of suffering much less death as inevitable failure. Dark horizons speak of pain, and how to avoid it through Other as ourselves. Eastern lights speak through gratitude while Western dialects flow full ego-powered self-love. Yet, in either case, belief in trust meets feeling co-empathic nutritional flows of patterned rhythm, regeneration. Eastern powers endorse political becoming of mindful midway relationships, where Western gravity pulls toward ponderous efficiency pounding out our own manifestly autonomous WinLose dual destiny. We were wrong to aspire toward effectiveness in absence of maturing mindfulness, preforming our intent as discerned through daily practices of consciousness. An empty economic effectiveness cart leads our politically suffering horse without grace. Empty cart-drawn horses crippled, imprisoned, marginalized, suboptimized power of potential ecoconscious balance, bound to backward stumble. It feels wrong to lose grace of present gratitude in pursuit of love's insured future effectiveness. Gratitude attitude, affective midway gestalt essential to growing empathic trust capacity for love, for mutual erotic pleasure and agapic creativity, mutual political grace with beauty, body laughter with creative minds celebrating health-inspiring life. We evolve wrong to become so satiated by our effectiveness we swim in delusion that we will avoid feeling pain by ignoring universal suffering. As we grow in capacity to integrate gratitude with suffering re-membered, we will emerge a species embarrassed to allow delusions of suffering alone. Suffering, like gratitude, could become radically egalitarian, reflecting no more or less than our separateness; and it is this egalitarian separateness of ego identities that entices us toward gratitude for hope that you will notice and care for me as my extended family, and I for you and our extending co-empathic trust as family flying solidarity of suffering remembered back to twined roots articulating feeding polypathic ecoconsciousness of Eastern stars with Western horizons. Last remnants of a tattering Industry Evolution, this Last PreMillennial ReGeneration passes a too toxic baton as gift-gratitude-forward. Nakedly embarrassed with fumbling ineptitude, precisely where we had prayed so earnestly for powerful co-redemption. Yet perhaps we also flirt with delusion that we did not do our best with allowing our Cooperative PowerHorse to lead whether our cart was recessively empty of gratitude or abundantly overloaded with suffering. But now, these PostMillennial ReGenerators, first tier of ReVolution's Golden Age, will continue to learn ecosystemic health regeneration through small and great suffering/gratitude transitions. This is our call to vocation, to holiness, to grateful suffering with Earth's recycling passions, to regenerate Earth's emptying cart of nurturing produce, to watch and listen, to sing and march and dance, to understand and incarnate how and why and when we are most grateful to Become this Earth, simulcast anthem echoing through each cell and cellphone, across every heart and lap and laptop, every radio and monitor in every prison, every asylum, every shelter, every school and capital and mind, every tear in every eye a suffering tear of gratitude for belonging to each naked Other, investing in each Other's respect by caring for ourselves as each Other, as one EarthTribe. We can do this; as we become this wilderness world together bound by relentlessly effective gratitude.
