« Art as Prayer... | Main | Some of His Best Friends Are Beasts »
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.
~Wendell Berry
