@HaddenTurner @affinitytalks 5/ Your reflection on “a land flowing with milk and honey” clarifies this, I sense. Read agrarianly, it's not sentiment but specification: milk implies husbandry—pasture, protection, daily care, restraint; honey implies habitat—biodiversity, pollination ecology, integral margins.

Tweet: @HaddenTurner and @kouya That's right, Eddie. Sanguin: “Diversity needs to be understood as a primary expression of beauty, and also, therefore, as one of the primary values of Spirit in an evolutionary universe." Where I live, grassroots 'applied biodiversity' projects take a lead shaping Creation care. Subtweet: Yes. But where and how is this work actually getting done? Locally, for starters. A foundational nexus in this regard? Community collaborations distributing extensive arrays of agro-biodiversity advancing the regeneration of localized food systems or ‘reinhabitory foodsheds’. What's 'eco-social physicianship'? Well, come join the grassroots, pan-bioregional, 'applied agro-biodiversity' initiative already a proven PNW cornerstone of community-based regenerative-design. Where? @agrariansharing's 7th propagation fair of 2023, in Eugene, OR, this Saturday. Tweet: Telling, the reinhabitory foodshed movement and New Creation theology providentially stumbling upon a common 'Adamaic' tongue. An example? Regenerative designers will describe the 'resurrective ontology' of 'applied diversity' in dynamic practice and effect as 'deep incarnation'. Nick Routledge For regenerative designers, diversity serves as the source and basis of life, harmony, balance, bounty, resilience, companionship and unity in nature and society. #AgrarianSharingNetwork youtu.be/9BHwGyUNNiU “The web of life is a food web. Food is life. Increasing diversity is the ecological principle for increasing health, resilience and abundance in living systems. Biodiversity and cultural diversity need each other for the regeneration of nature and culture.” - Vandana Shiva []

Copy of tweet and quote tweet here: end/ Odd, I suppose, it arriving as a surprise that ‘diversity-composites’ ultimately find purchase among us only where they’re grounded in the lived experience of concrete reality. The reconciliatory key? Dynamically integrating the more-than-human realm. Quote tweet: Functional examples of such bio-cultural, diversity-composites exist at the eco-system level. Their most refined expressions affirm the co-evolutionary integrity of seamlessly wedding inter-spiritual to biotic realms. Beauty, the heaven of earth made real, an emergent property.
