@NatureSchoolSU Total anathema to the vast majority of moderns, isnt it? McKenna: "The problem is not to find the answer: it is to face the answer." Still, if we have a future, ready for it or not, believe it or not, like it or not, a planet-sized 'horticultural-initiation' is headed our way.

@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.

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.

Quoted by@HaddenTurner @affinitytalks 13/ Creation-care isn’t a rival gospel—rather, the gospel becoming answerable. Hope taking biophysical form as redeemed immanence: humans as ecological facts (not disembodied wills), animals as creatures (not units), farms that don’t eat their future, soils that hold water.Quoted by@reggaj Been teaching folk to raise food for nigh on 30 years. It has never been a particularly popular offering, frankly. And I can't make sense of it but even as planetary eco-social meltdown is hardly a secret, I haven't seen interest pick up one iota. It's a strange world we live in.
