Paying Earth Back
I hear at least two national conversations
that seem mutually contradictory
and equally impossible,
or at least revolutionarily improbable
as compared to normal win/lose capital extractive
hoarding habits
in robust competitive investment accounts,
business as not necessarily healthiness usual.
I listen to "Third World" people of color
and colonization-enslavement history
more recent than the white serfs
and spear-carriers
of my own "First World" long-term memories.
Pleas for remediation
precede unpleasant declarations of independence
precede demands for remuneration, please?
But what does remediation look like,
sound like,
feel like
in the fracturing face of ongoing resource acquisition?
How are demands for independence
from First World aristocracy
different, and the same,
compared to demands of interdependence
for ecotherapy of win/lose global climates?
Internally heading south
in a negative lose/lose external way
and a pathological internal,
left-hemisphere capital-headed,
narcissistic way to play
Courageous warrior
against our own right-hemisphere curious feelings,
emotional win/win intelligence,
attachment within this interdependent web
womb of healthy EarthMother
creative regeneration stories
for ego-healing
ecotherapeutic remediation.
How would we begin to afford
to heal our win/lose capitalism colonizing history?
How could we undo past degenerative evolutions
of multiculturally thriving bioregions,
health-wealthy robust ecosystems,
ecofeminist cooperative healers,
peace-warrior creators
"carrying all the eggs,"
nutritional communication womb carriers,
yin-flow remediators of extractive historical violence
against each First through Third World other
and in capitalistically defined wealth
at war with compassionately refined health
of cooperative win/win
ego/eco-therapeutic systems within
And anthro/Earth-therapeutic global
through local
healing win/win systems
health-wealth
secular-sacred
left-right
yang-yin
fragmenting remunerative new birth trends
as integrity
regenerative.
Perhaps declaring my own interdependent attachment
with She Who Carries All Earth's Eggs
begins my internal reparation
remediation
remuneration
for all the left-hemisphere dominant capitalistic win/lose games
I have loved
simply by honoring my Father over Mother
Rather than restoring my cooperatively interdependent EarthMother
bothNature/andNurture healthy co-arising circular first
Tree of Good and Evil
and FatherSun
left-hemisphere enlightenment
eitherLight/orDark wealthy deductive
linear cause/effect

Tree of Life and Death.
