Perhaps what's particular to this historical moment is that we've confused the loudest room in history for the world. But that’s just the Feed—citing itself, trending itself, consecrating itself. A mirror facing a mirror. The Feed has no seasons. This should tell us everything.

Fascinating, the fascination of it. But has AI yet stumbled upon 1 Cor 1:19? Incompleteness itself as dimensional blind. Not digital mists but fog at sea. The beauty of a seasonal creek. Silence, radiant with tender presence. Terroir of humus. *whispers* Incarnation experience.

1/ Yes, even as our tendency to conflate the network's narrative edgeline with 'The State of the World', amounts to a category fallacy of cosmic proportions - as if the totality of planetary history and reality amounts to a downstream, behind-the-times, lesser subset, somewhere.

end/ Which brings us to the dirt under the fingernails of these, my transmitting fingers, uniting us all, root and branch, flesh and blood, off-screen and on-screen, in the dynamic interplay of a single helix of Presence. It is time, friends. "Eternity utters a day." - Heschel

@MG92__2 @cognazor 5/ Synthetic plausibility has become ambient. Representation now circulates without obligation, untethered from what it names. Refusing this, an orchard—living intelligence, answerable depth, flesh, consequence—resists, responds, insists. Spring isn't a token. Spring is presence.

Look! Our poster, at the Oregon Small Farms Conference, today. And full details of our Mar 4 - Apr 7 Spring Propagation Fair Series.
