Now I feel the tenderness to which the season rots
"Autumn teaches us that fruition is also death; that ripeness is a form of decay. The willows, having stood for so long near water, begin to rust...
...Today the sky is a wafer. Placed on my tongue, it is a wholeness that has already disintegrated; placed under the tongue, it makes my heart beat strongly enough to stretch myself over the winter brilliances to come. Now I feel the tenderness to which the season rots. Its defenselessness can no0 longer be corrupted. Death is its purity, its sweet mud..."

The Unforseen Wilderness
"And the world cannot be discovered by a journey of miles, no matter how long, but only by a spiritual journey, a journey of one inch, very arduous and humbling and joyful, by which we arrive at the ground at our feet, and learn to be home."
-Wendell Berry

"Fundamentally it is inward--into the depths where obscure resistances are overcome,
and long lost, forgotten powers are revivified,
to be made available for the transfiguration of the world"
-Joseph Campbell
The Hero with a Thousand Faces
"And our faces, my heart, brief as photos"
The flower in the heart's
wallet, the force
of what lives us
outliving the mountain.
outliving the mountain.
-J. Berger
