Bill Plotkin's WildMind is an important read, especially for PositivEnergy Psychologists who will enjoy comparing his eight-fold path with the Spiral Dynamics of Beck and Cowan, and possibly a polysexual-sensual WiseElder MotherTree.

I wouldn't call Bill Plotkin's WildMind
unmitigated Wild RightBrained,
nor would I call his WinWin therapeutic thinking
with PositivEnergy feelings
entirely LeftBrain domesticated, diminished

Commodified, capitalized,
colonized and conquered,
deduced and reduced
down to a slow-grown dark pearl
of Negative YinEnergy
seduced by Yang Supremacy
yet still resiliently whispering

Sweet-felt nothings
to speak of dipolar Wild Risks
are also Therapeutic Opportunities,
either way,
PositivEnergy 
with double-binding 
not secular yet--
not still sacred

We must HereNow bilaterally speak
of Ed De Bono's bilateral mind
as Plotkin's WinWin
horizontal EgoEco fractal
of four winning prime colors,
or subpersonalities,
or Seasons of AnthroGeneric Development

Shaping
co-arising Anima EcoLove,
birthing
spiral colored
WinWin and WinLose and LoseLose
ecopolitical democracies
avoiding apartheid violent aristocracies.

Although I'm not so sure
about Plotkin's sequence of West
through North
through East
emerging SouthLight Yellow
at this bimillennial TippingPoint moment.

But turquoise and ultra-violet by Night
and purple with delineating yellow by Day
sounds about Ego-Eco politically spectral correct
to RightBrain dominant
Rainbow fascinated 
singing and dancing EarthSouls.

But Beige at the beginning
of co-arising bilateral Time ourselves?
That's a Cowan and Beck
Spiral Dynamics error.

This Beige must not
and could not be,
but grey-scale instead
before LeftBrain language
developed stereophonic color categories
and scent regimes
for YangLight
with Yin DNA-RNA fractal
dualdark

Strings full-orchestra
restoring therapeutic democracy
of bilateral HereNow time
co-arising
nondually
dipolar 
PositivEnergy
equal 
in resilient-conscious empowerment
with dualdark NegativEnergy.

Like Trump and NewAge Lenin NegativEnergy
shitting on North Korea
stressed-out
short-person syndrome 
NewAnthropogentric Age Napoleon
his tree,
KISS
I
N
G,
primal lavish geopolitical royalty,
West double-binding East
in nihilistic corrupting competivity.

If I could turn back WildMind Time
I would fly us back to PA
and Michigan
and Wisconsin too,
to get just a few more wise women
to ignore complacency polls
ignoring Russian trolls,

To stand up against sexism
and AmericaFirst Totalitarianism,
and Climate Pathology Denialism,
and pathological absence of restorative health care.

To stop raking their liberated democratic leaves
for a half hour.
Go vote
for anyone but CombOver Bully
with the grabby hands
of MeFirst Supremacism
and ThirdGeneration bad attitude
of a nouveau riche pretention
not so wild woolly 
WhitePatriarch bully,

Hopelessly confused
especially about how to make a WinWin resilient profit,
or prophet,
much less prophetess
with Sacred Matriotic Earth.

Healthy WildRight dipolar minds
and Domesticated LeftDominant brains
all agree,
healthy wealth lies
in turning Yang down
at least a YinSquared cooling degree.

Away from monoculturing Red
and toward BlueGreen cooperativity.
