between development and the land.
all my life i've been seeking grass. i grew up in a green world, with tons of grass to roll around in, and trees to climb, and flowers that grew at different times of the year, and a sense of seasonal foods, and disciplined parents who ate as vegetarian as they could and tried to create vegetarians out of me and my brother (I think they were a little more successful with me, an open-minded eater, versus my brother, who would literally only eat meat or cheese for many years).
i try and sit down on the grass every day. you can do that all year long in durham. that's why i live here.
i'm drawn to natural beauty, to earthiness and foods that have color, to light, to water, to soil, to the strength of people who work on the land, whose hands and skin show the wear and tear of a life lived outdoors.
lately i've been thinking more about what this means for me spiritually. at a certain point in my christian life, i might have accepted that "green" thinking was important for christians to learn about and be involved in because it was better for our bodies and for our neighbors, socially speaking; hence, it was the right thing to do for the world. i still feel this way. nowadays, however, having recently been reading/listening to Ellen Davis's thoughts (piggybacking very much off of the ideas of Wendell Berry and other land-focused thinkers), i'm beginning to think there are even deeper implications than even just the social costs. there are questions that Davis brings up in "Scripture, Culture, and Agriculture" that are causing me to re-think the perspective i have (which essentially makes it a moral issue), and re-shape it into something that relates to God's promises and covenant with this world. this relates to agriculture being something that God made for us to do, not just eat well and reap the bounty of others' hard work - the "blind" habit we have of eating what is sold to us in grocery stores. but to actually be in touch with the earth, and to develop our own relationship to sewing, to harvesting, and to eating from the seasons He created.
my thoughts are not nearly as focused as Mrs. Davis's and will need time (and action too) to iron out what i hope i will find as solutions to these questions.
one thing i've noticed since childhood and that i've always viewed as a huge problem humanity has today is that we isolate ourselves from the earth. this is easy to do because wealthy folks can pay as much money as they need to in order to keep themselves comfortable and separated. from weather, from dirt, from what lies beyond the doors, insulation, carpeting of their own home. the outside.
not everyone, mind you. there are people living in the "biotic" community for sure. but not that many. a lot of people choose to live in what i've sometimes referred to as "the padded universe." this is where you can pay for peace and security in favor for any kind of world that could be broken in on by the earth around it, by the people around it, or anything else that could disturb a synthetic perpetual harmony that we're all used to. and feel entitled to.
in a way we don't realize, this is just another way in which we isolate ourselves from each other, and from the needs of the community we live in, and let's not forget God. The Great Big God who made everything and loves it. and hopes and gives always for its best.

U.S. Department of Agriculture USDA Rural Development RD Under Secretary Xochitl Torres Small departs from Siesta Shores Water Control and Improvement District facility, where it was announced that the USDA is investing $102 million to expand access to housing and water infrastructure for socially disadvantaged rural people who live and work in 45 states and American Samoa, during a visit to Siesta Shores and Falcon Lake in Zapata Co., TX, on Dec 16, 2022. The 263 projects in which USDA invests will create economic opportunities and improve the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in rural America.
The investments are part of the Biden-Harris Administration’s commitment to ensure that people living in rural America have equitable access to the infrastructure and economic opportunities they deserve.
“USDA invests in rural America because we know a strong community is rooted in its people,” Torres Small said. “Thanks to the leadership of President Biden, Vice President Harris, and Agriculture Secretary Vilsack, USDA can help invest in opportunity and prosperity for all people, regardless of background or financial status, who make up the character and personality of our great country’s rural lands.”
The Siesta Shores Water Control and Improvement District in Zapata County, Texas, receives a $1 million Emergency Community Water Assistance Grant to purchase a filter upgrade along with new raw water pumps and electrical wiring. It also will install six-inch raw water piping and fittings to reach the deeper parts of the community’s water source, Falcon Lake.
These investments are in addition to the recent expansion of the Rural Partners Network (RPN), which is central to President Biden’s commitment to ensure all rural people can benefit from federal resources. Led by USDA with support from more than 20 federal agencies and commissions, RPN is part of an all-of-government strategy to champion rural people and places, including Native American communities.
These programs are Water and Waste Disposal Grants to Alleviate Health Risks on Tribal Lands and Colonias, Appalachian Regional Commission Grants, Delta Health Care Grants, Socially Disadvantaged Groups Grants, Housing Preservation Grants, Rural Community Development Initiative Grants, Tribal College Initiative Grants, Emergency Community Water Assistance Grants, Rural and Native Alaskan Village Grants, Water and Waste Disposal Loans and Grants and Community Facilities Disaster Grant Program.

Kendal (black strip) wait for the ball to pop out their side of a scrum during a North West derby against Preston Grasshoppers in rugby union's North Premier league. It was the opening fixture at the Lakelanders' new ground. Multi-pitch New Mint Bridge, built on a 12-acre site, cost more than £10m. The visitors spoiled the party, and sent home disappointed the majority of a bumper crowd, by coming back from 9-5 down at half-time to win 25-19. Hoppers, now unbeaten in five games this season as they look to bounce straight back to National League Two North, outscored the Lakelanders four tries to one. Kendal had to wait until the third minute of second half stoppage time to cross the Preston line. Scrum-half Chris Park's touchline conversion salvaged a losing bonus point.
Kendal's new ground was funded by the sale, to a supermarket developer, of their former Mint Bridge home, which is half a mile down Shap Road towards the town centre. It has taken a decade for Kendal to relocate because three public inquiries were needed before the proposed supermarket was given the go-ahead. RFU president Bill Beaumont officially opened New Mint Bridge in a short ceremony just before the Preston game kicked off.

The Development Threat Index is part of the Land Use Land Cover collection. The cumulative development threat index is a terrestrial global, future development threat map based on combining these resources: agricultural expansion, urban expansion, conventional oil and gas, unconventional oil and gas, coal, mining, biofuels, solar, and wind. Each threat ranked potential development from 0–100 with 100 indicating the highest potential for future development of the resource and were produced at a 50 square kilometer (km2) grid cell resolution, excluding all cells overlapping Antarctica and those with >50% considered marine. This map displays the projected future development threat of utility-scale solar power. The area-ranked threat scores are based on a combined metric of solar resources in watts per square meter (W/m2), land suitability, and economic feasibility for solar power development.
