Three Sisters Coop

The CoOp featured Women and Families and their Matriarchal Allies, often LGB and/or T, and even some curiously queerer, but not meaner in appropriate demeanor regardless of habitat and camouflage and costume, ready for a folksy ball, come as you neighborhood are at Three Sisters CoOp. The Corn Sisters first brought their good news gospel, Christian straight through bisexual, standing Yangish tall. To conjoin the Bean Brothers and Sisters, enslaved in wombs a bit too much longer than their corny deep green sisters, yet rich brown and red and forest green ready to sprout and reforest spiral, devouring, yet digesting appropriately just right, what Corn could carry and bear, before producing their Bean creolizing jazzy song and dance performers; sultry street reformers resting on a corny stalk of Yang. Pumpkin spreading shade Earth Allies grow across the CoOp's neighborhood, incorporating spiritual and natural nutritions to feed a hungry matriarchal-patriarchal world, rich with integrative nutritional potential, deep with CoOp integrity to reweave, reforest, Three Sister CoOps, wherever humanity blooms, not bleeds so much, as and where planted, in and out, up and down, back and forth TaoTime reweaving. A Great Transitional bean-brother and sister stood to take the lunch microphone first opened up this day to say: If you look at a flat picture of a three-sprout braid, it looks like oppositional Yang and Yin are bilaterally weaving in and out in Hypostatic Union universally alone. Yet that same three-dimensional braid when felt and looked at from at least all three-sides, unveils a secret wu-wei Trinity of TaoTime, a braid for Sacred Corn as FatherSun, a braid for Natural Beans as Holonic Cooperative Flowing-Spiral Spirit, a braid for MotherEarth Squashed Down Folks and Species spreading lovely shade and reforesting projects and cooperative programs, economically and politically discouraging competing weeds while splattering growing psychologically complex rain where it best absorbent falls. But, which nutritional strand is which depends on you, the ecopolitical view you listen to most Yang-Yin deeply, as written in sweetgrass braids of each Three Sisters CoOp.
