@AimeTim @austeni @NWirzba @Baylor @JesuitMissions @JesuitsBritain @FundAgroecology @FadhelKaboub @SlowFoodHQ @IFarmers @futureoffoodorg @PoliticOfNature Thank ye. Just now putting aside a how-to-guide to Christological Broccoli breeding of all things, to factor 25 years of hands-on, 'prophetic earthwork' into a tweet thread illuminating Castillo's towering contribution. Excellent context to ponder a question prior to the event!

6/ 25 years on, Sages now aver that authentic food culture - a truly, functional relationship with what symbiotically nourishes ourselves and our world - defines a primary regenerative pathway coherently and, yes, peacefully addressing the totality of what ails us as a species.

Copy of tweet thread here: Memorial Day Eucharist. @RichardRohrOFM: "Jesus did not say, “Think about this,” “Fight about this,” “Stare at this;” but He said “Eat this!” Sometimes it seems that outsiders can appreciate it more than Christians. A dynamic, interactive event that makes one out of two.” -- Painting on wood. Signage. Food Not Lawns, 2000. First, know food. From food all things are born, by food they live, toward food they move, into food they return. - Upanishads -- "As Gandhi said, “There are so many hungry people in the world that God could only come into the world in the form of food.” God comes to feed us more than just teach us. Lovers understand that.”
