    Wending a way through

    "Curls of Love and Interest," drawing by Jaya Wendell Berry grappling with ideas about food, sexuality, gender, community... decades ago through the Lindisfarme community. Thanks to Karen Tibboji for sending me the link to this treasure trove of audio, in response to my wondering aloud whether Berry knew how much his poetry resonates with Indian spiritual traditions. https://archive.org/details/WendellBerryG12 #WendellBerry #deepecology #ecology #Inspiringlinks #awakening

    true quiet

    Ask the world to reveal its quietude- not the silence of machines when they are still, but the true quiet by which birdsongs, trees, bellworts, snails, clouds, storms become what they are, and are nothing else. ~Wendell Berry Thanks to Kane for sharing this excerpt #poetry #WendellBerry #nature #ecology #silence #meditation #nonduality

    Wendell Berry, This Day

    The frog with lichened back and golden thigh Sits still, almost invisible On leafed and lichened stem, Invisibility Its sign of being at home There in its given place, and well. ~Wendell Berry, This Day #WendellBerry

    May our practice and our lives be dedicated to the momentum of awakening for all,

    including ourselves.
