Wendell Berry quote #290 from The Art of the Commonplace: The Agrarian Essays

It is impossible to see how good work might be accomplished by people who think that our life in this world either signifies nothing or has only a negative significance.If on the other hand we believe that we are living souls Gods dust and Gods breath acting our parts among other creatures all made of the same dust and breath as ourselves and if we understand that we are free within the obvious limits of moral human life to do evil or good to ourselves and to the other creatures - then all our acts have a supreme significance. If it is true that we are living souls and morally free then all of us are artists. All of us are makers within mortal terms and limits of our lives of one anothers lives of things we need and use...If we think of ourselves as living souls immortal creatures living in the midst of a Creation that is mostly mysterious and if we see that everything we make or do cannot help but have an everlasting significance for ourselves for others and for the world then we see why some religious teachers have understood work as a form of prayer...Work connects us both to Creation and to eternity. pg. 316 Christianity and the Survival of Creation

Anne Lamott quote #52 from Imperfect Birds

With THC in your system you dont dream. And you need to. Otherwise it is like losing one of your senses. Dreams are part of your wholeness. ... when youre dreaming youre not the one calling the shots. So its a reprieve. ... the dream world had rules in it. You couldnt read a clock in your dreams. It would not give you the time. If the lights were on in a room you could not turn them off in a dream. ... in indigenous tribes all over the world the dream world was like church. p. 247

A.J. Darkholme quote #119 from Rise of the Morningstar

Wendell Berry quote #127 from The Art of the Commonplace: The Agrarian Essays

The two ideas justice and vocation are inseparable.... It is by way of the principle and practice of vocation that sanctity and reverence enter into the human economy. It was thus possible for traditional cultures to conceive that to work is to pray. pg. 258 The Idea of a Local Economy
