Always a thrill when the first @AgrarianSharing seed-increase material for winter crops leaves our nursery. This year, it's Scott M. securing two cabbage complexes for S. Oregon. I’m often struck by the soul beauty I encounter in this work: do the good work, meet the good people.

@ThinkingFaith Might entanglement supply the bridge here? The relationship between Creator and Creation takes incarnate form within our entanglement in creation: a vertical relation disclosed and lived through the horizontal bonds by which creatures become, sustain and answer for one another.

Ignatius is not given to horticultural imagery, but he is aware that everything begins with and leads to the shape of the relationship between Creator and Creation. Contemporary pedagogies? The Inayatiyya's Ziraat (meaning 'agriculture') concentration, specifically articulates a horticultural/agrarian paradigm as inner path. Meanwhile, the 'paradise gardening' or 'spiritual agriculture' movement sublimates the esoteric-exoteric distinction.
