Better Home Designs

Dr. Owl addressed her Community Developer pupils of "Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) Standards for Home and Garden Design"; which seemed rather heavy for this prime time of night. Resilient growth and development, whether humanly designed or not, is the "climax" or optimal CQI mission of PermaCulture Design (PCD). Cooperative community development and PCD share a compassion-oriented systems paradigm an arena for positive landscape improvement and/or climate health intervention. Home and community and life development also share with PCD positive outcome indicators which, when they actually show up, integrate a community of sustainable well-being. These four primary balancing functions of PCD: consuming and producing decomposition and regeneration are also true of spiritual and natural community development. Howsomeversomuch, economic development uses producer and consumer language for describing multisectoral transactions. Meanwhilecorrelativelycoincidental, community organizers and policy analysts speak, and too occasionally sing and dance, multiculturally regenerative values, on their more wealthy days, and of decomposing fuel flow function and frequency streams of social systems and networks, and, more recently, double-binary information systems [+1/-(-0)] as well, equitably swell. A largely untapped strength of PCD is its active faith that weeds and other negative environmental disvalues, like barbed-wire fences that you can't see at night and never know when you might fly into them, and then, that's that, other unplanned dissonant outcomes, mysteriously emerge as our most vitally underused and dispossessed resources, even if only as teachers of traumatic messes to avoid in the future. For example, Dr. Eisler describes a darkly dominant macroeconomy as too competitive and divisive, rooted in evolutionary cultural assumptions that we live in a Win-Lose LeftBrain verbally dominant world, and God did not create any Losers. If this might accurately describe our Business As Usual day and life and economy and thinking about progress and employment and my messy beleaguered home life, and all those struggles just to be heard, and the nightmares pushing out night fights or flights, then we should call on a permacultural community mediator A permaculturist might remember failing economies therapeutically respond to more indigenously interdependent financial and employment and residential and integral systems, rooted in PCD's standard "sit-spot" position, that we steadfastly continue to live Basic CoPassion Attendance within our Win-Win synergetic opportunity for further evolution creolizing together, is not Us v Them colonizing apart. Frustrated Business As Usual developers are learning to step into our mutually subsidiary yuck, with the rest of us and wealthy planet Earth and this universe of co-binary information, reweaving a new cooperative eco-normics as eco-logical Win-Win climaxing destiny of PermaCulturing Time through smooth flight PolyCulturing Space, place, race toward grace. My admittedly professorial take on better homes and author-izing healthy gardens: divest of overly-dominant competing win/lose logistics by investing locally in pay-it-forward co-operative win/win strategics Because dancing minds liberate singing winging bodies while flying dancing bodies conserve singing minds.
