Finishing tonight, Lord willin’

“The picture I had was of God taking these rough pellets by the handful and casting them gently, like a man planting. Look at the Milky Way. It has that pattern, doesn’t it, of having been cast there by the back-and-forward sweep of His arm?”

I love this so much. Wendell Berry has made me frequently picture Abba as a Farmer and I’m here for that image to be reinforced by whomever.

Good to be back; this book makes me laugh.
Also, my favorite image I’ve read in a long while: “—the sounds of hope landing facedown.”
So good.
