Beautiful .. especially about being concerned most with the taking care of women and leading generals astray through clever false tracks.... wisdom here, no doubt.
Yes, yes… in a world striving for glamorous beauty/perfection, loving imperfectly is difficult to digest by others. I like your conclusion! Being imperfect, limping a bit, confusing the “judges” is a beautiful way of becoming…. the fox. In all this bizarre manners of reinventing ourselves we can practice “resurrection” he was talking about…
Wendell is a prophet! He was talking about the destruction of rural America in 1977 in his book "The Unsettling of America". Industrial agriculture has laid waste to small town America.................
our elder voices are aging out but i pray to The Most High that there are elders in the making amongst the young ones planting growing crafting. yes. it’s the human thing to do. love me some wendell berry.
"Laughter is immeasureable." What a great line, the cure to the technological society. "Ask questions that have no answer." All the time. This was really good as I plan to do something that will not compute- making more tracks than necessary. Really good!
This is the most relevant and timely poem I have ever read. Today I declare to birth something and make very little sense.
kinda agree re relevant, timely, ever read...all of which surprised me

Beautiful epigrammatic cadence /
statements remind me of Keat's
Negative Capability: being in uncertainties,
mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching
after fact and reason.
statements like "Ask the questions that
have no answers."
I have read this poem so many times in my life. I love every line, especially ‘be joyful though you have consider all the facts’.
Yep, it says everything, doesn't it? ❤️
A refreshing take on a world so focussed on consumption.
A perfect reminder to love imperfectly, all that we have.

"Praise ignorance, for what man
has not encountered he has not destroyed."
