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.
Mindfulness
balances a bicameral cooperative grace thriving economy
with our midway TrimTab value
optimizing political survival ecology.
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.
