January's Dark Light
Dear Sacred Son,
I realize this feels like a Win-Lose
New Game Year,
with you as "Loser"
and so it is,
a self-fulfilling prophecy
equally as powerful
as if you could find a way to choose
this as a Win-Win Game
opportunity, with only shorter term risks likely,
with you as CoWinner
and so it would be,
your new year self-fulfilling prophetic resolution.
January strikes each new year with tough love
messages everywhere you see time's cold harsh claw
fang of Lose-Lose angry threat of fears,
self and other hatred
of political and economic
and personal and familial hypocrisies,
thinking we might ever Win through trying
Love's narrow path
between Angry memories
and their foreshadowing winterish dark Fear
of freezing death.
Especially true, perhaps,
without Advent advantage of more positively waiting
in elational CoMessianic Expectation
during December,
hosting Winter's Solstice
Transition from Win-Win new year expectation
into Lose-MaybeSomedayWin ego pay-it-forward investment
in eco-health and therapy
by divesting of EgoSelf v. EcoOther SuperCompetitive Pathology.
Even, if not especially,
in cold freezing heart of January,
it feels good and warm to remember AnthroMind's EarthBody
Interior Landscape as warmth
contrasting cold Exterior Wintering Landscape
of dipolar revolution
toward Summer's Win-Win reconnecting
health wealthy maturation
Whether incarnate or excarnate,
either way,
this year is likely to get much warmer
and refulgent
and resonant
within six months,
before things start to shake down
for EarthTribe's next perennial round.
Perhaps it helps to imagine your Interior Landscape
as already experiencing July's warm climaxing Beloved Community,
worshiping together in verdant sensual gardens
and fertile fields
Or more silently sitting before an old-rooted tree
or sublimely fractal unfolding flower,
or re-imagining beauty of humane thought
divinely felt
bicameral consciousness
Eco-centric balancing neural nature
and nurture culture
renewing iconic language patterns
and springtimed rhythms
In/Ex-forming community communication systems
and history of sensexual science
and social-political psychology
and economic bullish summer evolution
and bearish winter hibernating ecology,
and then Earth's long dark January nap
As a warm radiant round
of internal light
and exteral power
baptizing sensory neurosystems
in EarthTribe's global atmospheric bright
drifting toward another lazy January sunny afternoon,
Interior Landscaping for Win-Win Ego/Eco Play.
Your Summer Loving and Winter Retiring,
Dad
