Wendell Berry was often accused of offering no solutions to the problems he pointed out in his work. There was a time I thought this too. The more I read him I understood his solution is to change our way of thinking to value God, people, family, community & land more than money.

My friend and mentor Wendell meant more to me than I can properly say. I can’t imagine the work I have done without his encouragement. His laugh, his generosity, his insight and wisdom will be with me as long as I live. I am grateful for the life of this great human being.

Thinking about Nick Cave’s bracing thoughts on hope on the way home tonight.
“Hopefulness is the warrior emotion that can lay waste to cynicism.”
Home Is Where the Welcome Is
