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

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

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...

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

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

I ran meat chickens last year but I probably won't do it again. Even rotated and pastured, the feed costs are substantial. Doesn't make sense when *checks notes* ruminants exist. There is also the little thing that my chicken tractor washed away in the flood, seems like a sign

Thread on reforesting land.
In 2012 we moved to new house on 15.5 acres. ~6 acres old growth forest. Rest hayed pasture. Started transplanting saplings first year and every year for 6 years.
Now The Meadow is a forest. 3 species Chestnuts including 25 15/16ths American.
70 species of trees

Great and terrifying book. Perhaps setting it in 2024 is a bit ahead of schedule, but not by much
The Handmaid's Tale is a good book. But did you know that there's a book written by a Black woman about a post-apocalyptic Earth heavily affected by climate change and societal decline. The book was published in 1993, but is set in 2024 following a presidential election 👀 #BookSky #BlackBookSky

I’d give some more homestead updates but mostly I’m just replacing the fencing around trees that washed away in the storm. Pleasant enough, but not exactly click-bait

We live in an interconnected world that affects our day to day

We also aren’t evolved to be constantly plugged into a digitally mediated ‘society’ from which we hold strongly valanced opinions

Best to keep tabs on the bigger picture, but to invest emotionally in what you can see and touch
