Who doesn't need a little Wendell for their weekend?
From our latest issue, Wendell Berry sends a dispatch, "Wild and Domestic," already one of our most-read articles of the year. Here's how it starts:
"I. GARY SNYDER SAID that we know our minds are wild because of the difficulty of making ourselves think what we think we ought to think.
II. That is the fundamental sense of “wild” or of “wilderness”: undomesticated, unrestrained, out of control, disorderly.
III. There are two ways to value this, as exemplified by the sense of “wild party”: from the point of view of the participants and that of the neighbors."
Read the full piece here, from one of greatest living writers, thinkers, and doers, and share widely.
