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

~ Wendell Berry

"You think you will never forget any of this, you will remember it always just the way it was. But you can't remember it the way it was. To know it, you have to be living in the presence of it right as it is happening. It can return only by surprise."

~ Wendell Berry

"Eternity is not infinity...

It is entirely present always."

~ Wendell Berry

You must depend upon
affection, reading, knowledge,
skill–more of each
than you have–inspiration,
work, growing older, patience,
for patience joins time
to eternity.

~ Wendell Berry
