@riyeff I find him long on complaint and short on answers. Elsewhere, the 'deep incarnation' or 'realocalization' movement functionally constitutes a _reinhabitory_ relationship with the Real. Co-intelligently designed as 'home-field advantage', it fits. Home is where we live, after all.

Copy of tweet here: Polycrisis? What polycrisis? Yup, at one level, it's the Extinction Business As Usual. Elsewhere though, folk are waking to what's Real, what matters, and how they can plug in to an immediate, convivial experience of what works; digging in to the truth and love of the neighborly. There's Gary Snyder: "Find your place on the planet. Dig in, and take responsibility from there." And, of course, the perfect trans-Atlantic resonance in T. H. White: "Well, | can only teach you two things - to dig, and to love your home. These are the true ends of philosophy."

@AlanWattsDaily Exactly. Bly's 'wounds of abstraction' characterizing an all-encompassing pathology of consciousness; the totalizing hegemony this Spectacle of reification invisibly maintains; and homecoming to concrete reality as the salvational pivot returning us, finally, to freedom's ground.

Quoted byRT @nick_routledge: @SheepTaiChi Just because one's rural by no means implies understanding what inhabiting reality means, involves, offers, is. Even in mud boots, our minds and bodies often remain unhinged, lost in manufactured abstraction, an epochal, arthropos-scale estrangement from the Real. Exile blind.Quoted by@SheepTaiChi Just because one's rural by no means implies understanding what inhabiting reality means, involves, offers, is.

Exile blind.Quoted byYesterday, prepping seed for @AgrarianSharing spring propagation fairs. Reflections consistently affirm our decades-long, post-partisan, post-economic, 100% volunteer-driven initiative, lands as a sane, timely, coherent, relevant counter-paradigm to polycrisis collapse-dynamics.Quoted byRT @nick_routledge: @walterkirn Well-written, friend. We certainly don't want to swap one form of enchantment for another. Fortunately, there's always the truth of the neighborly - the root, tangible, concrete substrate of immediate, grounded, unmediated, native experience.

Only the Kingdom is Christ alive.Quoted by@ThinkingFaith Perhaps "the unthinkable density of truth of the word of the Cross" (Barnhart) eludes sapiential conception because it's revealed complete only in the transcendence of immanence itself radically activated.
