Evaluating Value

In what ways have nutritional 
and health
and financial
and well-being values increased 
over past time,
whether a season,
or a year,
or a decade,
or a lifetime,
or a millennium,
and in what ways have toxic dissonant disvalues
and decaying trends ebbed and flowed?

Where exactly?
For whom and not for whom?
How, when, and where have we reduced and increased
both short-term and long-term economic
ecological,
enfeebling
and disempowering risk?

Why do you think so,
or not?
Do you use as evidence your own lungs
and heart,
eyes and ears and neurosystemic feelings?
And perhaps those of your family and friends,
your local community?
How about your country of origin?
What about as a humane race toward 
Earth's Climax Global Tribe?

How is this newer DNA-regeneration fueled branch 
of Earth's Crowning Tree of Life coming along
right now 
as compared to
when trees were the most intelligent life-formed 
dipolar hierarchy?

And then we have the trunk and root system
of our entire polycultured and permaculturing
RNA-regenesis clan,
fractalling and crystalling and octaving,
folding and unfolding warm synergetic functions,
radically revolving and stealthily evolving
win/win healthy opportunity to love
over win/lose risk of loss 
to lose/lose despair.

Who is vulnerable enough right now
to transparently teach us what they need,
who they need us to be for them,
with them?

Who is brave enough to listen
for win/win
before untimely speaking 
win/lose?

How are we doing with our shared translation project,
syncing Eastern economies of karmic gratitude,
coincidental transactions of mutually bowing equivalence,
with Western stumbling incarnation 
of more athletically graceful ecologic?


Herculean powerful birthing pains,
inviting yin's silent synergetic wisdom
to complement our yangish 
left-brained deductive 
languaged
metric
rhythmed
bicameral heart-beat
mind-flow ways
of reaching right's proportionally strong
left loving order;
intuited
decoding and recoding dialectical functions 
and binomial frequencies 
and bisexual icons
of ancient information systems,
shared with all our shamans and messiahs,
prophets and polypaths,
nurturers and regenerators,
well-being mind producers 
and body wellness consumers.

How is our New Millennium mission
to love all others
all species,
all space/time 
body/mind incarnations
and integral potentialities
as interdependent with ourselves?
to bring synergetic revolutions 
to this nagging competition 
between eco-normic transactions 
and multicultural political relationships 
for growing ecological values?

Have we developed our prototype
for incubating cooperative deep and wide health care proposals?
regeneratively designed 
to sync with global information networks
evolving cordless stringed formation

We are what we resonantly absorb;
they are not what we dissociate.

How are we doing with combining our nurture-starved voices,
with chronically cash-starved choices?
performing our permaculture opera 
for philanthropists and investors and policy makers,
butchers and weapons bakers and candlestick shakers,
kings and queens and fools,
warriors and sages and muses,
knights and damsels distressed about each other,
each inviting mentors walking their walk,
while shunning alien messiahs
optimizing natural balance
by minimizing long-term spiritual-investment risk.

Open system 
radiant energy 
confidently absorbs flowing time
that gravity spatially recomposes,
anticipating adventure
evolving toward dawn's light regeneration.

Deduce from past solar systemic orthopraxis
what we induct 
from future's health optimizing 
neurosystemic 
intent.

Invest cooperatively in eco-confluent resonance,
to divest of competitive ego-cognitive dissonance.

As before, so after,
as without, so within.
