@Dan_Bowdoin @jbralston Raised loving planetary culture, I was led, then bound to the States for the challenge, it feels. America's destiny, vicissitudes and all, now my own. Moltmann gets it. Where else more fully requires and favors a bio-composite communion of planetary diversity, place and service?

Copy of tweet and sub-tweet: Nick Routledge George Steiner spoke of "the honest treason of the comparatist, the translator; a persistent infidelity to any one tradition, culture or community of recognition." Ultimately, the greater assimilative space of a planetary prophetology? Hillman: "Words, like angels, are powers." Nick Routledge Sublime, from @chebhocine on Said, echoing the trans-cultural, cross-fertilizing hermeneutics of the contemporary poet-translator, Clayton Eshleman: “the antiphonal traffic of translation, for me, opens up a greater assimilative space than monolingual reading.”

Copy of two, consecutive tweets in a thread: "Another kind of political fulfillment of the millenarian hope is the idea of the nation whose destiny, according to God’s salvific plan, is the redemption of the world. What has to be taken seriously is the USA’s strange millenarian mythology because it has a genuine basis." 2/11 What does #JuergenMoltmann mean? "The country is settled by a people drawn from all nations, and is hence the unique modern experiment in the universal representation of humanity.” 3/10

Copy of tweet and sub-tweet: Nick Routledge and We’re well-placed, here. Much as the American people are drawn from across the planet: so, analogously, are our biodiversity collections. All told, a bio-cultural concatenation representing unparalleled regenerative potential for human and earthly solidarity. Diversity is power. Nick Routledge For regenerative designers, diversity serves as the source and basis of life, harmony, balance, bounty, resilience, companionship and unity in nature and society. #AgrarianSharingNetwork youtu.be/9BHwGyUNNiU Show this thread
@antoniogm An elegantly concise summary of the challenge, Tony. Perhaps a deeper answer to ponder: where might we best serve the common, planetary good?
