Fun Fact
Kazakhstan’s Minister of Communications and Informatics has blocked the Tumblr site because it contained 60 sites of terrorism, extremism, and pornography in 2015.
We have lived by the assumption that what was good for us would be good for the world. And this has been based on the even flimsier assumption that we could know with any certainty what was good even for us.

It has been an amazing two years and so thankful to be part of the first class of the Wendell Berry Farming Program @sterlingcollegevt. Looking forward to combining the new sustainable agriculture degree with my art and using it to find new ways of teaching. It’s all about observation. . . . #wendellberryfarmingprogram #sterlingcollegevt #jenniferlaurapalmer #artandfarming #graduation #artlfie #wendellberry https://www.instagram.com/p/CO8C4iIFtdU/?igshid=1pkyoeybedicx
It may be that when we no longer know what to do
we have come to our real work,
and that when we no longer know which way to go
we have come to our real journey.
The mind that is not baffled is not employed.
The impeded stream is the one that sings.
When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.
“. . . I come into the peace of wild things / who do not tax their lives with forethought / of grief. I come into the presence of still water. / And I feel above me the day-blind stars / waiting with their light . . .“ - Wendell Berry Woodblock print, inspired by a painting of Tom Thomson’s.
