@NorannV @mair__wright Goodness, what a planetary light you've become to the purposive romanticism of Gardener Kings and Queens of the New Creation, Norann. Such a blessing to our world, your portrait of the fruits of love fully inhabited and a life, fully incarnate. So thankful for your presence here.

It has certainly been my experience that where the profound personalization of my own identity integrates with a particularized habitat, the infinite surge brings me into depth-resonance with other women and men also on the path to a ‘homecoming to wholeness’, wherever they are settling. But what unfolds when two hearts become wedded intimately to a shared journey into the same piece of ground? Upon that threshold where Gaian lovers seek inclusion and compensation with the deep ecologies of landscape and all that lives, do we ultimately come home to a circle of Belonging where the distance from isolation to intimacy is bridged by Creation’s love for us, as much as ours for it?](/media/1855999404890816633-GcHVngxaoAAR54V.jpg)

@Plough Goodness, what a tremendously eloquent, lucid, illuminating and inspiring witness. It seems to me our final threshold to cross is 'getting down together', a complete form of homecoming in which heaven and earth dynamically, synchronously and resurrectively complete one another.

It seems to me our final threshold to cross is 'getting down together', a complete form of homecoming in which heaven and earth dynamically, synchronously and resurrectively complete one another. "And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “See, the home of God is among mortals….” Rev. 21: 3. Catherine Keller: "Could we, some critical mass of the species that has trashed the earth, yet recognize it as 'cosmic sanctuary'?" “And let everyone who hears say, ‘Come.’” It is as though we must yet call God, Messiah, the new cosmopolis down to earth. Their triune "coming” requires our calling them down. In other words, their immanence needs our invitation. Not metaphysically—if what we name divine signifies an infinity, a boundlessness, it is always already everywhere anyway. But apparently this theotopia needs our invitation in order to matter, to materialize, among us. We can no longer separate the life that “comes” from our becoming lives. This new creation won't happen without our desire, our collusion, our creativity. Its renewed and renewing waters and woods, its actually habitable habitats, wild, rural, urban, star-sparkled, depend upon our collective calling. Up to us to get down together, to get down to earth with that whole ancient bridal party. Facing Apocalypse: Climate, Democracy and Other Last Chances. Catherine Keller
