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.
