Soil and Life

Good rich earth, family farming, and agriculture returned to a more human scale.. the infinite One.

The creation account of Genesis has God creating us not in a celestial cloudbank but in a garden with orders to keep it.  The possibilities from this helps keep both farm chores and on-paper schemes looking in eternity's direction while at the same time grounded in the earthy here and now.
