In the effort to tell a whole story, to see it whole and clear, I have had to imagine more than I have known. - Wendell Berry

One of the most important resources that a garden makes available for use, is the gardener's own body. A garden gives the body the dignity of working in its own support. It is a way of rejoining the human race.

My wish simply is to live my life as fully as I can. In both our work and our leisure, I think, we should be so employed. And in our time this means that we must save ourselves from the products that we are asked to buy in order, ultimately, to replace ourselves.

The mind that is not baffled is not employed. The impeded stream is the one that sings.
