Healthy Seeds--Wealthy Leaves

Mindbodies unfold from embryonic seed
toward full living-loving 
sense-synthesizing leaf production,
full YangPower during warm light-drenched days of summer,
Earth’s rotation fuelling healthy growth,
yet weedy monopolizing tendencies as well.

Seed unfolding is our first longing half, 
maturing toward healthy EarthTribe speciation,
in fullest neurosensory glory.

Our second half returns fading leaf powers 
to regenerate next season’s healthy yin-seeds
for EarthTribe’s full forest ecosystemic memories,
folding out from winter through summer,
then refolding summer back toward yin-hibernating winter
of each perennial recircling life.

Folding in from political and economic production leaves
through symbiotic breath of maturity,
searching metaphysically exhaling iconic paths,
now imprinted with Earth’s nurturing light air,
wet soil,
inhaling and exhaling revolutionary fires of transubstantiation,
giving way to new fetal forests,
understories of regenerate future recreations.

This first half, unfolding,
needs nothing yet wants every source of digestible nutrition.

Then second half, productive leaves
giving way toward next generation’s seeds,
wants nothing
yet mysteriously needs this entire forest
to evolve belonging together;
mutual nurturance full-powered.

Each inhaling life’s unfolding seed
consumes energy toward maturing fullness
as exhale aging refolds 
balancing consumer-producer dancers
leafing leaping fertile co-redemption

win/win bodhisattvas,
Earth’s eco-
neuro-sexsensual regenerators.

Basic Attendance shadows our co-present humane capacities
to know and love 
how longing seeds and belonging leaves
feed rooted economic trees

transforming yin seed into yang leaf
and back again,
both living same and dying different
each moment of each unfolding/folding love

synergetic political events, 
economic ecological transactions,
integrally re-ligioning networks,
interdependent forestry

EarthTribe multicultural democracy
regenerating win/win habitats
co-passionately breeding and feeding
neurosystemic wealth within
longing to belong to
ecosystemic health without

Nature/Spirit polytheistic 
EarthRoot indigenously wise systems
unfolding from embryonic seeds
toward full living-loving 
leaf-graced AnthroCrowns

Reproducing resiliently healthy
fertile inter-religious 
resonantly wealthy democracies.
