That Gratitude Attitude

Gratitude A co-empathic sense of trust, awe, appreciation of echo-resonant deep-listening resolutions, trusted truth in beauty life together, better than failing apart. A resilient sense of belonging beyond vulnerable longing for gratitude autumnal taproot harvesting spring's irrepressible hope, just as summer's nutritional body maturation predicts winter's cold isolation recomposing mindfulness. Gratitude Why Thich Nhat Hanh thinks it important to smile nutritiously. Why Positive Deviance works. Why Positive Psychology speaks unconditionally open trust in Gaian dancing beauty. Why Win/Win bipartisan political discernment leads to healthier cooperative outcomes polyculturally consilient maturing multiculturally creolizing self/Other ego/eco inside/outside attitude/gratitude passion/pleasure longing/belonging co-empathic resonant communication networks, landscapes, climaxing EarthHealth bipartisan climates Of Mutual Gratitude midway open toward agapic/erotic sage/muse crown/root co-passionate love provokes lasting true happiness content and felt pleasuring contentment while sustained in a culture too often neglecting more cooperatively embraced and deeper engagements than merely active entertainments Necessary and sufficient longing to be rid of win/lose trauma, requited, fulfilling win/win therapeutic mind-fulls resiliently robust physical belonging love-life. Gratitude attitude: Respect for Earth's grace, and resonantly cooperative Commons Place leads through hope and toward summer's full EarthMother/FatherSun originating organic faith maturing fall's harvest of loving attitude and beauty-bliss warm gratitude where We Are One, preparing yet again for Winter's winnowing cycle incubatting longing ego's belonging eco-Oneness Yintegrity's recessive advent, authentically facing toward YangSpring's new regeneratively synergetic birth. When we can pro-actively choose gratitude practice becomes centered in MotherEarthBody mindfulness, ego-wealth reflecting on eco-health consciousness. When intent is co-empathic resonant mentoring, engaging mutual enlightenment, our cooperative regenerative practice loves life as grateful love for our more beautiful selves Zero-sum balancing equivocal grace. Becoming grace in process requires balancing Life's Yang DeductiveCausaLaws with Love's Yin InductiveAffectiveTrusts. These nondual two are inextricably dipolar linked as are noticing hope with understanding faith, yang formed yintegral flow, leading, balancing nondually together toward political/economic health/wealth reassuring comprehension. Yin's Grace whispers of hope for a meeting of minds. To build Yang's value, resonance, develop mindfulness, sing and dance pray and speak our story, our history of nutritional laws of nature with love's grace of nurture, with gratitude for all those whose voices ring reverberate in our ears and minds as multisensory peace-receiving bodies. Gratitude for autumn's forest falling seed, inoculating our soils with hope to be held, secure, through winter's politically competitive economy of cold discontent, decomposition. Winter brings purgative Advent of dormant hope without current incarnation of embryonic faith, which returns to 4-seasoned Earth each reborn Spring of daily life. This same gratitude panentheistic seed-root of Positive Deviance, Appreciative Inquiry, Basic Attendance, CoEmpathic Political Trust Attachment Theory Restorative Justice Nonviolent Communication between pilgrims traveling Earth's inter-religious co-empathic consciousness of life and death nutrition revolutions, regenerating compost piles of truth as beauty memories.

This karma/grace gestalt comprehends OurCommons as EarthMother Home Network to which we equally belong responsibly authoritative more profoundly, naturally, truthfully, realistically, sustainably, normatively, ethically than understanding this Commons of Earth-Air-Water-Firey flames of information from property we own, instruct, dominate, enslave, commodify, and even lecture with great confusion sometimes. We do no grateful good representing our best political-economic lectures while standing empty-handed in our favorite garden or forest or mountain or sea or lake or home; far better still to listen to these speak their grace across grateful ears and eyes and nose and mouth, to know where we might best begin with bicameral hands and bipedal vocational feet. Deep Ecology of Gratitude growth in depth of regenesis, an economy of nutritional nature co-mentoring bodies of graceful co-ownership through value transfers with Other re-connecting presence, past and future sentient beings at no cooperative GiveGraceForward expansive expense, co-invested interdependent multigenerational mutually benign parasites disguised as nakedly vulnerable Hosts. To comprehend this EarthCommons calls to listen with gratitude, and thereby increase in mindfulness of abundant comprehensive potential, graceful loving SpiritYin with nutritional YangNature's Laws and Primal Principles of eco-balancing reciprocity.
