I just got another great book of essays by Wendell Berry entitled "The Way of Ignorance". He continues to put into sensible, intelligent, and often artful words the thoughts and concerns of many of us who are troubled by what seems a country and world gone a bit crazy. He is always hopeful in his essays while being firmly honest and concerned about our current path. He is a voice of reason in a time of unreasonable directions and attitudes. Reading his words often clarifies ideas and feelings I have, but have not yet been able to articulate. I think that a copy of much of his work should be read by every one of our leaders and much of our citizenry, because it would be hard to continue on in the irresponsible direction that our government and each of us does each day, while someone has openly stated what it is we are doing to ourselves and our futures and the future of any who come after us. I highly recommend reading these essays.
Peace
