@Plough @BenQuash 10/ It doesn't tidy contradictions; it transfigures them into higher-order wholeness: justice with mercy, the local with the universal, soil with spirit, suffering with glory. Beauty here isn't cosmetic harmony but reconciled complexity—legibility restored to what was fragmented.

8/ "Work, motion, life," notes William Bryant Logan, "All rise from the dirt and stand upon it as upon a launching pad." In the act of reconciling our individual autobiographies to a larger, earthly web of relations, we enfold ourselves within the evolving Story of Planet Earth. 9/ So long in exile from true unity with Ourselves, each Other, and Creation, we now return to an intimacy with the Ground of life fully lived, restoring the foreground we call history with its regenerative power, and the imaginal backdrop gifting our lives instructive meaning. Subtweet: 12/ Some call it 'Good News.' Here's the Californian, Gary Snyder: "This is a revolution not of guns but of consciousness, won by seizing the key myths, archetypes, ecstasies and eschatologies so that life won't seem worth living unless one is on the transforming energy's side."

Nick has extensive experience travelling with seed and arranging seedswaps and giveaways, and has written broadly around the topic of seed and seed sharing. Read more in Nick's bio. As well as enjoying the support of local gardeners and farmers, we also enjoy very friendly relationships with established plant breeders who are supporting us both with seed to carry and share, and with counsel about the potential objectives of our effort. Please participate! The Seed Ambassadors Project is a grassroots, non-profit effort. Andrew and Sarah will be travelling in landscapes and cultures they are unfamiliar with. It is our hope that those of you who perceive the value of their work will step forward to support their travels, with advice, seed and whatever form of assistance you are able to gift. Please explore our website to garner a sense of how you may be able to participate in this gentle effort. "It is best to think of this as a revolution, not of guns, but of consciousness, which will be won by seizing the key myths, archetypes, eschatologies, and ecstasies so that life won't seem worth living unless one is on the transforming energy's side." - Gary Snyder  Home • Calendar • Seed • Recent News • Participate • Blog —-------------- []
