We may nod and agree intellectually … yes, yes … but does this assent go deeper, help us process the impulses behind our selves and what we are?

Agriculture’s provisions are as immediate as the food on our plates, but it also provides metaphors which point to beyond our daily bread. St Paul said that what we sow we reap. An agricultural metaphor for what we are. What life is. It’s not an academic question as it determines our very destiny. Where are you putting your attention? What are you investing in?
