Swamp Babies
When participating in a HealthCare Future Search,
you are invited
to explore a personal timeline
as well as a global timeline
of critical healthcare events
in your past,
present,
and future.
HealthCare personal and political
and nurture-investment learning
begins early and ubiquitously
for new born and reborn ZeroZones
of all species
But, one of my earliest entries
on any personal and political timeline
is self-nurturing stimulation,
raptures,
wonders and awes,
paradise masturbation,
draining the compost swamp.
My parents were missionary-positioned
midwest monogamously StraightWhite Privileged
Republicans
but also underprivileged small family farmers
and matriarchal gardeners,
themselves raised
watered and fed
by missionary-positioned dairy farmers,
but also experts at cooperative HealthCare technologies
milking the **** of cows--
draining their nurture-swamps.
I recall lectures against premarital sex
out of contractually marketed wedlock
only for privileged orthodox swamps,
Yet total silence
on the non-subject of self-stimulating
HealthCare management
to avoid blueball
redblooded pressures,
competing tensions
with cooperative predilections
of and for belonging longing.
A much later Grace entry
on my personal gratitude HealthCare timeline
was becoming a parent,
When suddenly,
unexpectedly,
what was good for my firstborn son's HealthCare
became what was also good enough
for my personal post-adoption
HealthCare for family swamps planning.
If sleeping through the night
was not in his best nutrition-feeding interest,
then not sleepy mine either.
Fortunately,
to place this co-redemptive miracle on my Future Search timeline
does not require I can explain how it arrived
remarkably self-with-SacredOther
co-nurturing stimulation.
My journey from competitive intrapersonal HealthCare
toward cooperative interpersonal newborn health-wealth care
feels as quickly under-capitalized normal
as an overnight co-adoption placement,
a co-revival natural-spiritual experience,
a reborn together rapture
from which I never fully recovered
my strictly autonomous intrapersonal swamp--
If only because isolated decaying swamps,
although immensely fertile,
are not healthy long-term habitats
for mammalian autonomy--
way too many bugs
and the water is unthinkable.
The first entry on my global cooperative HealthCare timeline
is noticing WinWin HealthTrends
As alike as we are polyculturing adults,
newborns of all mammalian DNA-prescribed species
are much more HealthCare giving for
and receiving from parents
and teachers
and WinWin Future Mentors
Sometimes cooperatively draining our pathological swamps together
and sometimes competing too secretively autonomous
in supremely unspoken self-governance,
our personal shame
hiding within global swamps of politically toxic blame.
My second global FutureSearch entry
in our cooperative HealthCare timeline,
is when I also noticed
that newborns emerge from nutritious swampy wombs
to hopefully return to elder compost swamps.
Swamps highly fertile,
regenerative environments,
richly resilient OpenSystems
and deeply resonant with polypathic life,
from early spring rutting croaks of bullfrogs
through winter's red cardinal love song.
ReBorn cooperative HealthCare
draining and timeline composting
personal through global
under-valued ZeroZone swamps
hosting lower risk sacred revival
for higher opportunity secular thrival--
WinWin EarthTribal.
