@jamespoulos @AldoButtazzoni Khezr, the planetary prophetic prototype of homecoming? A different question, then. If the sacred, great and dangerous earth turns out to be Paradise Regained, how might homecoming to the catholicity of the heaven of earth, uplift our daily lives?

Only superficially, then, does ‘home-making’ refer to refining our external attachment to people, place and things, and the broad array of technes supporting the outer forms of settling in. Ultimately, homemaking amounts to accepting a profound invitation to explore the most vital coherence of our senses and thoughts in congruence with the embrace of Nature, striving for a depth where the form of our emerging growth is brought into rhythm with the concealed order of creation. It is, in other words, an invitation to friendship with our own essential nature. Such is the ground of primal affection mediated by Beauty. “The experience of the beautiful,” as Hans-Georg Gadamer describes it, “is the invocation of a potentially whole and holy order of things.”
@WeilFan420 @rosekhawal @nubianscribes @GabrielSaidR 1/ I hadn't encountered the Rabbinic connection though it certainly resonates with Khezr's Eliatic function as a trans-historical, prophetic prototype heralding a fundamentally *reconciliatory* dimension of experience coalescing, ultimately, as a planetary-saving arrival.
