@Plough 2/ What's missing is the recognition that beauty doesn't just appear in creation; it's realized through engagement that makes creation more livable and whole, not merely more interpretable—through practices that make creation flourish, not just signify.

Quoted by@seenunseenmag @profntwright 13/ The church’s ecological blindness is not mere intellectual oversight. It is a failure of perception approaching idolatry. The Logos through whom all things were made did not enter an alien world. In Christ, God enters creaturely life from inside—incarnation must be inhabited.Quoted byRT @nick_routledge: @Plough My experience, deepening, is that beauty is shaped by an artistry far beyond what I can hold. O'Donohue's own words showed me: beauty, not as decoration but disclosure; divine presence breaking through; "the climate of divine kindness"; grace as elegance. How apt he's remembered.Quoted by@Plough My experience, deepening, is that beauty is shaped by an artistry far beyond what I can hold.
