What happens when from the very inception, you grow a world that regenerates itself?
A world where the soil heals the climate. And planted in that soil are gardens that heal the soil. And tending to those gardens are people who have been incarcerated behind cement walls. And those people, now in relationship to the earth, heal the bodies that have been polluted with industrial foods with now abundant real food. And those people put food from the farms on tables, made available in food ghettos.
What happens when the intoxicants that made life tolerable are replaced with a sense of contribution that brings about a state of eudaimonia: a sustainable fulfillment rooted in purpose.
And what happens when the world’s darkest institutions, prisons, are transformed into beacons of light, into monasteries; where we exchange punishment for contemplation, mere recovery for discovery and economic black holes into contribution.
How do we re-introduce the vital elements in a way that the re-introduction changes the world from the ground up?
In nature, it is the keystone animal.
In human nature, it is dignity.
This is how we will change the world from the ground up.
