7th Generation Reorientation

What have we learned?

What is our big 20/20 revision takeaway
from this win/lose
zero-sum failure?

To transparently cooperate
for our most inclusive win/win health
and long-term safety,
economic
and political
and social
and physical
and mental health
resilience

From my own observation,
probably colored
multihued and complexly patterned
by Integral Permaculture Design,

And Community Mediation
for restorative peace resolutions
in perennial win/lose retributive conflict situations,
clashes between conservative LeftBrain dominant
and liberal RightBrain interdependent cultures.

1. To optimize resilience
for at least the next seven generations,
the next 140 years,
bringing us to the year 2160

Here, on our cooperatively co-invested home planet,
we could choose to return to indigenous wisdom,
to include health and safety of our trees,
our neighbors,
rivers,
our soil
our water supply,
our green renewable energy resources,
our fresh and clean river valleyed breezes,
our plants,
our domestic animals,
our wild animal cousins
our sacred EarthMothers.

We do better when our healthy safe priorities
remain broadly contextualized,
less LeftBrain defensive boundaried,
broadening our ecosystemic spatial identities
and deepening our speciated individuation
back through monotheistic/panentheistic history
of this now troubling
post-millennial 

StraightWhiteMale privileged
LeftBrain corporately dominant
relentlessly self-promoting
Anthropocene

Predicting unprecedented ecocide,
genocide,
rabid polarization, 
economic divestment,
Earth Matricide
and overwhelming 
streight white patriarchal political mistrust

During which no healthy democracy
could resiliently endure
as long as our infrastructure,
concrete
steel beamed
bricks and mortar,
budgets and financial planning,

Omit choosing cooperative win/win games 
and ecofeminist green co-investment strategies
for health and safety
of our now excluded trees,
plants,
waters,
soil,
planet

EarthTribe
everyday multiculturing
sacredly resonant
creolization liturgies 
of LeftBrain verbal co-intelligence
loving RightBrain co-empathic feeling
longing for 
co-governing 
co-invested
co-empowerment.
