<~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~>


Love the quick profit, the annual raise,
vacation with pay.
Want more of everything ready-made.
Be afraid
to know your neighbors
and to die.


And you will have a window in your head.
Not even your future will be a mystery
anymore.
Your mind will be punched in a card
and shut away
in a little drawer.
When they want you to buy something
they will call you. When they want you to die
for profit
they will let you know.
So, friends, every day do something
that won't compute.


Love the Lord.
Love the world.
Work for nothing.
Take all that you have
and be poor.
Love someone who does not deserve it.
Denounce the government
and embrace the flag.
Hope to live
in that free republic
for which it stands.
Give your approval
to all you cannot understand.
Praise ignorance,
for what man has not encountered
he has not destroyed.

Ask the questions that have no answers.
Invest in the millenium.
Plant sequoias.
Say that your main crop is the forest
that you did not plant,
that you will not live to harvest.
Say that the leaves are harvested
when they have rotted into the mold.
Call that profit.
Prophesy such returns.

Put your faith in the two inches of humus
that will build under the trees every thousand years.
Listen to carrion
put your ear close, and hear the faint chattering
of the songs that are to come.
Expect the end of the world.
Laugh.


Laughter is immeasurable.
Be joyful
though you have considered all the facts.

So long as women do not go cheap
for power,
please women more than men.
Ask yourself: Will this satisfy
a woman satisfied to bear a child?
Will this disturb the sleep
of a woman near to giving birth?

Go with your love to the fields.
Lie down in the shade.
Rest your head
in her lap.
Swear allegiance
to what is nighest your thoughts.
As soon as the generals and the politicos
can predict the motions of your mind;
lose it.
Leave it as a sign
to mark the false trail,
the way you didn't go.
Be like the fox
who makes more tracks than necessary,
some in the wrong direction.


Practice resurrection.







Though I can not say it or be as inspiring as Wendell Berry, I think that what he says makes so much perfect sense. Trying to understand all of his concepts at once might be a little much, but I think that what he says is amazingly true. One day, I hope I can share the wisdom I have gained with the rest of the world in just as beautiful of a way. Someday...
