Summer Days

vol. 9, num. 13 :: 2010.06.25 — 2010.07.08

Remember the feeling of getting out of school when you were a kid: the complete freedom of endless days with nothing to do except play in the yard? What do you remember most clearly about those days? On our childhood memories, but also what we’d change about the priorities of our adult lives…if we could.

Even in a country you know by heart
its hard to go the same way twice
the life of the going changes.
The chances change and make a new way.
Any tree or stone or bird
can be the bud of a new direction. The
natural correction is to make intent
of accident. To get back before dark
is the art of going.

Wendell Berry
