Notes About The Poem

This piece builds out from a paraphrase of Laotse's "Futility of Contention" (The Wisdom of Laotse, Lin Yutang, trans. 1948, Modern Library, pp. 134-5).

When we intuitively step into becoming-ness, evolutionary growth and developmental design stories of other beings engage our more mature comprehension. We are, on many logos-logic levels and branches, chi-structured Trees of Life inclusively shared by all of life's RNA temporally-fractal cycling prime relationship frequencies.

We mutually incarnate one binomial informating network; nutrient roots with productive branches..

Our lungs produce and consume beating pumping heart's teleological reason, natural circulating communication-neural design intention, just as our bicameral brains may be our lungs' raison d'etre, decomposing and regenerating our left consuming and right reproduction of RNA life-coding systems, just as our reproductive organs' raison d'etre may be to primally produce a well-functioning healthy chi-body; a spirit-natured balancing system explored through a Permaculture Design and Development and Harvest and ReSeeding, ReDeeming, holistic perspective.

Polymorphic living organic polycultural system science of permaculture design and development is reflected in the very structure and rhythm and flows of our incarnating RNA-rooted language of iconic forms and symbolic functions.

Ergodic development, ionic balance of energy, is also bionically fractal and follows polypathic (metasystemic) information Bayesian trends of polynomial-rational algo-rhythmic octaved strings, positive and negative coincidenting-coarising-cocarnating corollaries of naturally binomial and bicameral information.

Contenting Tree of Life

Futility of Contention
absorbs into Utility of Contentment.

To preserve wholeness, mutually accommodate;
    yielding preserves whole.
To become straight, you must begin bent;
    bent potentiates straight.
To become filled, its best to begin hollow;
    hollow optimizes full.
To become renewed, notice your tattered being,
    dissonance resolves toward renewed confluence.
To become possessive, notice what you want,
    possessions double-bind prehension.
To become confused, notice your exhaustive riches,
    hoarders grow confused, dis-eased.

Therefore the Sage embraces the One Positive Polynomial;
    Midway Positively Negative Zero,
And becomes the polyculturing model of the world.
She does not reveal herself,
    And he is therefore luminous.
She does not justify herself,
    And he is therefore far-famed.
She does not boast of herself,
    And therefore people give him credit.
She does not pride herself,
    And is therefore the chief among bicamerally balancing mindbodies.

It is because we do not compete
That no one in the world can discontent,
    disconnect,
    un-cooperate us.

Yin yield preserves Yang wholeness health.

We might most abundantly,
nutritiously, 
comprehend Yang as optimizing climax community economic developer,
    of structure-forms-plans-strategies-logistics-logic,
while also prehending Yin recycling ionic communication's functional designer,
    implicating regeneration through intuitive comprehension
    of each apprehensive moment's,
    each wounded Life's,
    each severed paradigm's,
    each difficult evolution's 
nondually-manifest destiny.

Primal original intent of ionic-ergodic function
regenerates,
to sustain Prime Relationship balance:
of Plan A with Plan B Harmony (B. Fuller),
Yang with Yin appositional balance,
Polynomial with NotNotPolynomial Informating Eco-normics

Empty WombWe
anticipating pregnant Brahman
wu-wei chi becoming calm.

It's not so much that most of us have mental disease issues,
its more like mental un-ease is our issue;
    spiritually primal
    primary natural neurosystemic concern.
Body decay and loss,
abuse and neglect,
are our more fundamentally optimal opportunity
    to respond to formative health issues,
    human nature spirited development.
Mental health is more of an aesthetic-intuitive,
    symmetric and proportional,
    design challenge
    between SuperEco felt integrity 
and independent Ego's Self-IdEntity,
while body health is our coincidental peace with justice challenge,
    content of resilient polycultural development.

We are improved well-being prospects, projects,
    comprehending ourselves,
listeners to dissonance between Ego's Left hemisphere
    and our SuperEco right-brained
    full color
    full scale octaves,
    fractal frequencies and functions,
both metaphysical-metasystemic polynomial-polypathic within,
and physical polycultural SuperEco Uniting-Universe without.

We could do better
were we to understand "permaculture" paradigm,
    not only as an organic frame for designing,
    but also an inclusive seeding through harvest feedback process
    to mutually develop polycultural environments
    and polypathic regenerative co-redeeming economies
    of natural health systems
    with Manifest NonDual-Destiny,
Dark Holistic Elders past empowered
shooting stars through future's primal light.
