The Real Work

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 ~

(Collected Poems)

 

For Brian whose continued presence in this world is the bright hope of palpable grace on an ephemeral and overcast day. I know that you will miss Jay,  your husband and life partner of 30 years, more than words can ever express.  He was loved by so many who continue to remember him in their hearts.  Thinking of you today and in the days ahead my friend.
