@PageauJonathan 21/ The hidden prophet doesn’t echo cultural mirrors or reflect institutional light. Their meaning emerges from communion—from the pressure of Being seeking form in a particular time and place. Reality reveals itself through lives so true, they begin to radiate the Real.
@HaddenTurner Meaning is not given from above, but grown in communion. Work the Garden well, and the depth realm of this symbiotic conversation—the enfleshed wholeness, harmony, and integrity of Life complete—incarnates as New World Creation. This, the Kingdom come. We inhabit it, and it, us.

…...the subject of Andean agriculture, the way it depends on its margins, incorporating them into the very structure of it form, as opposed to pushing them back to land unsuitable for farming as we moderns have long done. If, to paraphrase Wendell Berry, we can have agriculture only within nature, and culture only within agriculture ("At certain points these systems have to conform with one another or destroy one another."), then it was apparent that hedgerow guilds offered a prime example of the sort of reconciliation by which we could escape the endless swinging between center and margins, rigidity and revolt, that has plagued human culture for millennia. Berry suggests the remedy is to accommodate the margin within the form, to allow the wilderness to thrive in domesticity, to accommodate diversity within unity. Slowly, the landscape began to read like a living constitutional convention…wedded to a suprahuman truth.
