The ability to speak exactly is intimately related to the ability to know exactly. - Wendell Berry

I believe until fairly recently our destructions of nature were more or less unwitting — the by-products, so to speak, of our ignorance or weakness or depravity. It is our present principled and elaborately rationalized rape and plunder of the natural world that is a new thing under the sun.

Battle with unconditioned breath the unconditioned air. Shun electric wire. Communicate slowly. Live a three-dimensional life; stay away from screens.

To define knowledge as merely empirical is to limit one's ability to know; it enfeebles one's ability to feel and think.
