@NealSpackman @silvopasturist Yup, we walk among zombies. Then again, if inhabiting the Real comes fully within reach (only) in assent to the truth of the neighborly, there's nothing finer to claim each one of us than awakening to a fully personalized, home-field advantage. Home is where we live, after all.

Copy of tweet and quote tweet here: Bly spoke of, "healing the wound of abstractions". Humanity's root ailment perhaps. “It is an apocalypse of mind and eye we need,” asserts John Moriarty, “an apocalypse that opens the veils of mind and eye, not an apocalypse that pulls down the stars, that obliterates the sea.” · I wonder if perhaps the greatest shock of all, facing moderns, is that personal and planetary salvation, or whatever we call it, simply can't be lived vicariously. Ultimately, it transpires, we can't outsource Real life. The work ahead, for each of us, is unavoidably hands-on.
