An exchange between Wendell Berry and Tim DeChristopher. I've been in that building Berry mentions.

#WendallBerry #Shakers #ThomasMerton #PleasantHillKentucky
WB: It was the Shakers who were sure the end could come anytime, and they still saved the seeds and figured out how to make better diets for old people. Thomas Merton was interested in the Shakers. I said to him, “If they were certain that the world could end at any minute, how come they built the best building in Kentucky?” “You don’t understand,” he said. “If you know the world could end at any minute, you know there’s no need to hurry. You take your time and do the best work you possibly can.” That was important to me. I’ve repeated it many times. TD: That’s why the despair is not paralyzing. Knowing that it’s too late to prevent collapse, knowing that we’re not going to stop the catastrophic end, knowing that we’re going to die — it doesn’t mean that we stop. It means that we live in this moment as fully as we can. My granddaughter, sitting at a desk next to a window in a Shaker dormitory at Pleasant Hill, Kentucky.

Sometimes you just need to stop and listen to Nick Offerman read poetry.

Offerman and Berry have been friends for a long time and Offerman was a Producer on the documentary, “Look & See: A Portrait of Wendell Berry”

Wendell Berry writes a lot like Kent Haruf in that slow easy way that says a lot and gives you all the feels. This was a short audiobook, but I adored it. 🌟🌟🌟#nathancoulter #wendallberry
