The incarnate Word is with us, is still speaking, is present always, yet leaves no sign but everything that is.
Wendell BerryYou don't need to be told some things. You can sometimes tell more by a man's silence and the set of his head than by what he says.
Wendell BerryWe learn from our gardens to deal with the most urgent question of the time: How much is enough?
Wendell BerryThese are people who are capable of devotion, public devotion, to justice. They meant what they said and every day that passes, they mean it more.
Wendell BerryOur land passes in and out of our bodies just as our bodies pass in and out of our land
Wendell BerryThe living can't quit living because the world has turned terrible and people they love and need are killed. They can't because they don't. The light that shines into darkness and never goes out calls them on into life. It calls them back again into the great room. It calls them into their bodies and into the world, into whatever the world will require. It calls them into work and pleasure, goodness and beauty, and the company of other loved ones.
