SUBSISTENCE-RESISTANCE 2017
Subsistence comes up from the soil that is land or that is sea floor.
It filters up to, through, ever larger life forms as food consumed, until the top predators die; decompose, and return subsistence to the soil that is land or that is the sea floor.
Ideas as subsistence follow that same recycling course, bottoms up to top down: ingestion, processing, application, obsolescence, desiccation, to renewed ideation.
Doubtless such loops are common "cycles of civilization," as claimed in a book chapter of that name, by my late, beloved brother-friend, retired school teacher, Jake Patton Beason, of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, by way of Kosciusko, Mississippi.
Given these inexorable cycles, soil enrichment and hydration is likely to produce the bumper crop in our inner cities' education, economies, as some famous people have popularly, if speciously, repeatedly, claimed to have an interest in facilitating by works. God can use whomever or whatever means to accomplish the impossible, by grace if not by works; at least so reads Romans 11: 6-24.

If the root of a tree is holy, the branches are also holy and if the first fruit is good, the lump too is good. And if branches from the wild olive tree were engrafted on to the natural tree, so can that tree's natural branches be engrafted back onto it.
These Bible metaphors and many more like them redress the issues in our land and in our lives in 2017.
These issues of subsistence and resistance confronting African Americans from 2017 on, shall be redressed, definitively in one way or another, as recorded above by works, grace; or by quantum-both.
Amen 🙏🏿
