@Plough 1/2 "Weed” is a war-grammar of negative baptism. The dicamba treadmill isn’t accidental; it’s a weaponized purity liturgy, neighbor against neighbor. "Weeds show us a different way, an alternative to our efforts at control"—neighborliness rising from as much as coming to ground.

5/ To see with eyes that outlast death is to experience the self that violence protects as vain. Nonviolence then isn't self-sacrifice but deeper recognition of a truer identity, transfigured and united beneath a fleeting dream of separation; the immortal life breaking through.

6/ This isn’t feel-good spirituality but recognition that consciousness and cosmos co-evolve: moral growth and ontological insight are one. Fracture crystallizes into integrity, wisdom, peace—the very form of reality’s fulfillment, a telos of coherence, integration, wholeness.

7/ This makes conversion of conflict in its myriad forms an essential alchemy of incarnation: the Word made flesh not as solitary descent but as radical relationality—God with creation, neighbor with neighbor. The pattern of Christ: kenosis into relation, reality transfigured.

@JillianHazel @Plough Beautiful. The plant over-harvested, there were 'Save Our Dandelions' societies in the UK in the 50's. Notable, as such, that dandelion's status as America's most reviled plant, is entirely a constructed phantasm - a demon of the commoditized imagination. ?s=20
