Practice Resurrection

So, friends, every day do something that won't compute...Give your approval to all you cannot understand...Ask the questions that have no answers. Put your faith in two inches of humus that will build under the trees every thousand years...Laugh. Be joyful though you have considered all the facts....Practice resurrection.”

                                           Wendell Berry, The Country of Marriage

what did I do today?

pulled some weeds

worked at transplanting some seedling

watered some flowers

looked at very old pictures

in very old albums

of very old people

when they were not so very old

fixed a fence

in a world that seems all too fond of anger,

hate and death

where bad people have power

and good people get crushed

I chose live

as though life and love win

I chose

to practice resurrection
