  • What You Must Do

    “You mustn’t wish for another life. 
    You mustn’t want to be somebody else. 
    What you must do is this:
    “Rejoice evermore. 
    Pray without ceasing.
     In everything give thanks.” 
    I am not all the way capable of so much,
     but those are the right instructions.”

    ~ Wendell Berry in Hannah Coulter

  • Wow.  That is really beautiful.  Hannah is on my shelf, but haven’t gotten to it yet.  I’m glad you shared that. 

  • makes me want to read Hannah again! (One of those messages I must send to a friend… but, you know when you listen to a Message, and you think I wish this or that person can hear this message now, and then the Message is actually meant for you… … )
