@helen_barratt @HaddenTurner @RichAH67 Here, a portrait of Kingdom dynamics tabernacling in a regenerative design project addressing the desolation and destitution of human community and landscape, in the same breath - the solidarity of social and planetary renewal, the simultaneity of human and earthly resurrection.

Copy of tweet and quote tweet: 3/ Marriages of visionary social projects to visionary agro-ecological projects, in combinations which ‘click’, define functional, justice-based regenerative design. Naturally, such work is inherently localizing or ‘co-evolutionary’. How could it be any other way? Quote tweet: N. O. Brown: “Laborare est orare, to labor is to pray. Overcoming the distinction between the active and the contemplative. Overcoming the distinction between works and grace. The Garden Project.” The heaven of earth, made Real. The Third Way.

@wrathofgnon “It is a blunt truth: homeless women have no access to places both safe and beautiful. Imagine that.” So, we established an orchard-garden sanctuary into a devastated, former-heavy-industrial-use site, across from the Women’s Mission, in Eugene, OR. @OrchardNotes

Quoted by@seenunseenmag @profntwright 9/ The earth, then, is more than a category—religious scenery—we will inherit. The wound is internal. Soil loss is not merely an environmental problem; it is a rupture in the body of creaturely communion. Poisoned water is not “out there.” It enters blood, womb, memory, prayer.Quoted by15/ That’s why for Nund Rishi, the political was not adjacent to the spiritual—it was its form. Justice wasn’t ideology, but divinity lived at ground level. Not thunder from heaven, but the emergence of the Real from underfoot. Sahaja was the eschaton made visible.Quoted byDay Six. New World Creation as the arc of the moral universe bending irrevocably towards the dynamic reconciliation of path, justice and peace? Prophetic earthwork secures the teleology in the natural, immediate sequence of a concrete, native journey into Beauty’s deepest ground.Quoted byRT @nick_routledge: @jonmsweeney He also said, "I have no program for this seeing. But the gate of heaven is everywhere." The fundamental messianic conundrum, then? Perceptual (Mark 8:17-18). Our 'Kingdom eyes' open only in so far as we do, to Medium and Message, God and Reality, Local and Absolute, as One.Quoted by@jonmsweeney He also said, "I have no program for this seeing.
