Things are always developing *slowly*, with steps forward and other steps back. We have sheep now so that’s exciting! Would definitely be nice to catch up, how are things with you?

Garlic is harvested, time to cure

Katahdin!

Good evening

We got sheep!

View from the wet land

First seeds planted of the season, black locust trees, future source of nitrogen fixation, pollinator food, sheep forage, and high quality fuel wood

The peepers have announced that Spring has arrived

When you witness something beautiful, three miracles are co-arising at once, the miracle of being, the miracle of the awareness of being, and the bliss that breaks the confines of its functional value

High water mark

Good morning

This is not what I think, in fact it's a tiresome strawman of my view, but oh well. I'm not going to continue this interaction, but if you'd like to understand my view better, I'll recommend That All Shall Be Saved, by David Bentley Hart, or Unspoken Sermons by George Macdonald

We must have a different understanding of what the Bible says. For me, it really is the good news

For me the potential of Spring starts in February. Not quite done with Winter rest, but new stirrings beckon. Time to prepare the soul to steward a new growth of creation, envision, acquire seeds, prune and plant trees, plan for new animals, and as always, pray

I certainly think there are consequences to resisting God, but perhaps where we disagree is that I don't think we can resist God forever. In the end God will win over our hearts and obedience, and His entire creation will be restored, without remainder. God will be all-in-all

If I am a Christian and I believe I will be reconciled and restored back to God, and if I believe that my relationships are essential to who I am, then I must believe that my relationships will also be reconciled and restored, and that there is no salvation that is not universal

It's a beautiful thing to have faith that all parts of yourself, all of your relationships, experiences, and interests, no matter how seemingly disparate, disjointed, and dysfunctional, are forming an organic and essential divine unity that will be revealed in due time

In my view there are two competing Christian visions. One in which a fortunate elect are saved from an otherwise tragic creation, and another in which all of creation is being worked out and will eventually be reconciled and restored back to God. I know which vision I prefer...

The pond is still there, it’s not really coming along 😅

I don’t have a favorite season, every season is an experience to be witness to

I will be taking the month of December off from this site. Y’all behave!

The Psychodynamics of Memetic Mediation Memetic mediation can be seen as an extension of our contemplative practice.

We need memetic mediation (aka spiral wizardry) more now than ever!
