Where Winning Is Cooperative Play

Compile a list of all your losses, worst moments, fears and hatreds, your defensive fears and most angry dispassionate paranoid dualdark bilateral margins, edges, boundary issues and double-binding love-hate dipolarities of gooey too-yin stuckness in ambivalent waves of notnot yet notnot past so all is left is Lose to Lose notnot (0) remainder hopeless. Now compare a fractal spiral of all your gains from embryonic Winter WinWin (0)-sum Mother's Womb, through pre-pubescent LeftBrain growing dominant languaged Spring, on into full middle-aged and gendered Left and RightBrain balancing Summer of egalitarian ecopolitical EarthTribe peace with global ego/eco-justice, through Elder RightBrain's sacred ecological Fall as Autumn Harvest Yang-with-Yin Solidarity Strength and not so much Original Sin of Monocultural Hubris acting against, to oppress, MotherEarth as Yin RightBrain EcoCentering Wisdom about how to play our cooperative WinWin Boundary Issues from marginalizing birth through demarginalizing death, Now compare and contrast listed losses with spiraling gains toward WinWin. As marginal victims flow through boring Business As Usual economic and political and psychological classes on how best to not measure progress transcending military-industrialized competitive violence, way too much LeftBrain dominant over-Yanged hubris, way too pre-millennial to even think WinWin YangYin about bipolarities now new-edged Yang with Yin, Left with Right, double-margin wu-wei ego with eco-therapeutic bilateral opportunities, health care giving and receiving for all climates and landscapes, boundaries and relationships, marginalizing issues and bicameral ego/eco-systemic opportunities to play polypathic WinWin.
