Outside Classrooms
Learning about light and dark
about nutrition and toxin
about birds and bees,
about conductors and insulators,
pitchers and catchers,
producers and consumers,
does not happen best
inside school buildings,
she said
with some impatience.
Who is "she"
dear?
You left out the beginning
of our story.
She is Gaia
MotherEarth
Anima Mundi
Green Woman
SkyWoman,
Grandmother Moon,
Diana...
I'm not sure...
She has many PositivEnergy matriarchal names.
Yes,
and some not so nice ones
too.
Careful,
this is a family audience here.
Wouldn't want to alienate
our natural wildlife sponsors.
OK,
so why are inside human habitats
not so great for learning
similarities and differences
between secular nature
and sacred nurture?
I'm not sure that's what she said,
dearest,
but...
That's OK.
We've talked.
I know that's how She feels
nondually right with left
WinWin.
In contrast to deductive LeftBrain
EitherPlay/OrWork Business as SoldOut Usual?
Back to our creation story
Why are we less likely to forget
Nature outside
co-arising Spirit inside
outside than inside?
She said
Because outside
invites consumers to reward producers
by cooperatively inviting consumers allied with producers
to return to reproducing healthy lives
next season
as previously and polyculturally agreed
since time bilaterally began
with revolving clockwise and counter-clockwise space.
Meanwhile,
in our timeless inside school voices,
we speak of giving monocultural Consumer Demands
rather than Consumer Invitation,
curiosity,
PositivEnergy return on cooperatively courageous CoInvestments.
And Farm and Garden Production Schooling
without equal attention to
Farm and Garden Consumption
of healthy nutrients more
and pathological toxins less.
And physical and mental pan-sectarian exercise
without co-arising sacred health vocational awareness
of WinWin economic and political consciousness.
So why do we try to teach kids
with primary inside school voices
about secondary outside school nutritional choices?
I guess that's FatherSun's
monotheistic responsibility
for producing inclement weather.
Well, maybe.
But I don't think for a minute
She doesn't contribute
her fifty cents for every dollar
invested in ZeroZone balance
too.
Do you think our Green EcoSchool
for restoring Ego-Eco Balance
might support
how outside Nature and inside Spirit
work in Left-Right Commons
more importantly
than how they don't work so well
apart,
fundamentally dualistic?
You mean evangelistically
retributively at war with each other,
crusading about who will wear the authoritative orthodox pants
and who is reduced
to eisegetical communion's pretty panties?
Something like that.
My big take away
from how She was speaking:
Natural and spiritual environments,
cultural memories,
paradigmatic memes
have much more PositivEnergy say with each other
about long-term healthy wealth
than do trivial Left-Right
NegativEnergy differences,
dissonance,
disarray,
climates of growing indoor
so also outdoor
climate pathology.
She won't like it
if we end with
a NegativEnergy
punishing message, dear.
Right again,
Left revolving
Open PositivEnergy Doors
into outside-inside
nature-spirited classroom voices.
