The Real Work


"The Real Work" 

Wendell Berry 

It may be that when we no longer know what to do
we have come 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.

  1. I just had a week of nursing a sick feverish baby, and doing not much else, so I needed this one. Thanks.
