A Short Note

"Be joyful though you have considered all the facts... "   

from " Resurrection" by Wendell Berry 

  

This photograph was taken in August of this year.  I am reminded of our neighborhood birds, who always seem to have much to say to one another.  I eavesdrop often, and will, at times, interrupt with "Excuse me, what are you talking about?"  They generally  ignore me. In some ways, that is comforting.  I fill the bird bath, and carry on.       

   

At the Top of the List

I will shortly begin creating a list of tenets that I believe are at the heart of keeping America good, but holding life as sacred is certainly at the top of the list. As we have witnessed here and around the world, the quest for greatness imposes a heavy burden on all life. What we are asked to hold as great is a destructive ego that can never be satiated. Goodness is stewardship of all life.

“There are no unsacred places; there are only sacred places and desecrated places.”  Wendell Berry

Let us not be a desecrated nation.
