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

“In the labor of the fields longer than a man's life I am at home. Don't come with me. You stay home too.”

Rest in peace, Wendell Berry.

RE: https://c.im/@cdarwin/117188946658249970 America’s former role is gone. And I think that Americans themselves are having the hardest time of all coming to terms with what that might actually mean in the long run.
