Sacred Design - Jesus in the Desert

The secrets of the atom are not unlike Pandora's box, and what we must look for is not the destructive power but the vision of interrelatedness that is desperately needed on this fragmented planet. We are indeed part of a universe. We belong to each other; the fall of every sparrow is noted, every tear we shed is collected in the Creator's bottle.
— Madeleine L'Engle, The Rock That is Higher: Story as Truth

Further to last week's talk on the temptations and visions that Jesus had in the desert, I imagine how he got to the path he walked in his ministry. A radical abundance in the face of Roman occupation and scarcity.  Like he lived from the ground of his being, all the way down. 

How does this design, this abundance that is at the heart of healthy ecosystems (that can and do include humans), apply to other systems? Like... economics...  companies...  communities.

Thanks Alana, for a compelling message today that interweaves the messages of Madeline L'Engle, Tielhard de Chardin, Cynthia Beargeault & Jesus.
With Love and appreciation,

Thank you Alana
Life affirming words as I seek new shoots, this spring and for new ways.
I do feel you are giving form, to new, yet ancient energies and truths.
May your work a and ways be blessed.
